What is with the ridiculous requests on the gts?
 
People with a lv 1 wynaut want darkrai's, lugias and lv 90 (insert name here)

Are they insane?

Very rarely will I find someone with a reasonable request.

/small rant.

Silhouette June 25th, 2009 5:39 AM

Just today I was on the GTS, too. Can it really be THAT impossible to get a bloody Nuzleaf??

Tinhead Bruce June 25th, 2009 5:41 AM

-.-
My god, another thread like this. p('-')p

Anyways, they either have a great Wynaut, or a Master Ball attached to the Wynaut, and they're trying to clone the Wynaut. That's an example relating to post ^.

That, or they're hoping to get lucky.

suprra_girl June 25th, 2009 5:43 AM

I had the same with Gallade

I just got a male ralts, leveled then finally got it, and bred it like crazy and now I have kirlias with dawn stones on there. I like to make life easier for some heh

I probably have a shiftry somewhere... I'll go look

Does someone with a lv 1 wynaut honestly think they're going to get a lv 100 lugia??? :o

You can clone via the gts?

Maybe that explains it.

I guess the pokesav guys would just hack up pokemon if they're desperate enough for a lv 1 wynaut haha

Yes, but IMO, it takes so much accuracy and time that's it's not worth it.

crowbones80 June 25th, 2009 7:05 AM

yeah I know!

the other day I was trying to get a caterpie - and people were asking for darkrais, shaymins etc - all lv 100!! There was not ONE reasonable request.

when I put up a pokemon on the GTS I nearly always ask for something less good, or the same as the pokemon I'm putting up! lol

Melodyfree June 25th, 2009 7:11 AM

Whatever happened to people who traded starters for other starters? I try and get a Sinnoh starter and I get requests for Shaymin, Jirachi and Lugia. :| And the other regional starters? Ha!

These kids on the GTS are really dumb. A decent offer is rare nowadays, and they're usually hacks. Just yesterday I got a Japanese female Misdreavus from 'Faraway Place' holding a Water Stone. Released the Misdreavus and kept the stone. Ugh. *facepalm*

Ayselipera June 25th, 2009 7:43 AM

Maybe there just hoping for that one person whos a Wynaut fanatic.

Hey it could happen.

salmence33 June 25th, 2009 12:32 PM

I checked what people wanted for a bidoof and most of them wanted legends like deoxis or jarachi
I am sure no one is a bidoof fan

Munch Dog June 25th, 2009 1:00 PM

I never even bother with the GTS. I only trade with people I know.

FreakyLocz14 June 25th, 2009 1:23 PM

This is a trick.
They are trying to manipulate the glitch to get Pokemon to evlove by trade.

Elena June 25th, 2009 1:51 PM

I get lucky all the time on the GTS.
Usually all I have to do is offer up a lv. 1 female stater and I can get practically anything IF I wait long enough.
By offering female lv. 1 starters I have obtained three Raikou, two Rotom, two level 100 Salamance, a lv. 100 Cresselia, an Entei, and a whole bunch of other cool Pokemon.

gary_productions June 25th, 2009 1:56 PM

all the times il want to get a event pokemon Via ((GTS))
im always to late xD

suprra_girl June 25th, 2009 3:27 PM

I had that happen to me twice yesterday :( Lost out on a shiny Whiscash
Then there was a decent trade for a riolu so I bred one, went back, oh, mine is the wrong gender :/

I went to trade for something else and someone had already snatched it up. People that are too fast... dammit! lol

JoltIce June 25th, 2009 3:33 PM

Yeah, see that ALL the time. But once I got a Shiny Lucario for a Bidoof. The Lucario was hacked of course.

I have to agree. Sometimes they just want to see if anyone will actually do the trade but rarely, they will. I personally find it ridiculous as you're asking for a simple pokémon and they want a rare or special pokémon in return. I'd rather obtain the pokémon I need through Wi-fi; it's more reasonable for me as my friends wouldn't be doing something like that really...

Although at least they don't have too much of a specific want such as a pokémon they are looking for needs to be EV'd in Attack and Speed.

Zebra Thunderhead June 25th, 2009 7:33 PM

Most of the time they're cloning something so they ask for a Pokemon that no one will have.

Glaceon_ June 25th, 2009 8:54 PM

Everyone has already mentioned the likelihood of them cloning said Pokemon, (though why something as useless as a Wynaut, I'll never know) and like everyone else, I'll say that it is a very risky timing puzzle not worth the hassle. If you do it right, you get two. Do it wrong, you get none. 0. Zilch.

I personally no longer use the GTS because in general, I've pretty much got all the Pokemon I'll ever need. (I'm not really a "Gotta Catch 'em All!" trainer XD )

Ian758 June 25th, 2009 9:15 PM

Well, I was looking for a second Giratina, since I messed up it's evs while training, and the only half decent offer was a Celibi lvl 100, I mean what the heck is that about?

monkeatstogis June 26th, 2009 6:03 AM

I never thought I could use the GTS, but found out yesterday that I actually could. For a level 1 and level 10 Chimchar I received an Empoleon at level 32 and a Torterra at 34.. worked out for me since those were the only 2 starters I needed for the complete from all 4. Too bad I don't know what a good deal is for a Celebi, was going to trade mine for a level 100 Mewtwo (I can easily clone and get more Celebi from Emerald) but I went against it.. today I will probably go and migrate 6 Celebi and see what I can actually get though. :P
However to stay more relevant to the topic, yesterday being my first experience at the GTS, I was surprised at what appeared to be very greedy people asking for those legends for their basic Pokemon.

Lance June 26th, 2009 6:20 AM

I will make fair trades! :D But few days ago,I got lv.100 Blissey,captured with Master Ball and was found at lv. 100. XD What did I do? Stored it far away from Box 1.

Should I..release it?

Slowking11 June 26th, 2009 6:31 AM

I make decent trades...I've actually found some great deals. They're extremely hard to find, but it happens.

Maybe it was hatched in one of the Platinum-exclusive areas, such as the Distortion World or Battle Frontier. In D/P, that would show up as 'Faraway Place'. Bet you're feeling silly now, huh (unless you have Platinum :P)?

Yes, you can clone with the gts and that is probably why they are doing it. But seriously, who would take time to clone a wynaught.......

EspyJump June 26th, 2009 10:48 AM

Maybe sometimes the ridiculous requests work.
