Does Anyone Else Think the GTS has Outrageous Asking Prices?
I just tried to get onto the GTS today, and I'm peeved at the thing. One, you can only trade for pokemon you've seen in-game. While understandable, I'm kinda miffed because if i want a lot of the older pokemon, I'm going to have to buy the old GBA games and abuse the pal park.
But mainly, what I did find was astonishing. All the pokemon I saw were going for ridiculous demands. I saw someone offering a lv. 9 Glameow for a lv. 100 Ho-Oh. ...EXPLAIN THIS ONE TO ME!!! |
yea the GTS is annoying and most of the pokemon are hacked on there anyway so don't trade on it.
check out the trade corner and get pokemon from there. check out my trade thread it's in my signature |

Friggin' pathetic...
Oh, posted to the shop Aaron. All I can really offer are good bred pokemon. I'm thinking I should just keep pokemon who breed well so they'll get good offspring I could trade. |
The GTS is mostly hacked pokemon, as was said. People that don't care about taking hacked pokemon trad elegit ones for excess hackers pokes.
It's stupid, and is to be expected. I only use it to get jpn dittos for masuda. |
can you pm me what you can offer so we can organise it
|
I think it's terrible and refuse to use it I look for a Ditto and the offerers are requesting lv. 100 Palkia's etc.....
|
Yes. When I first went on the GTS, I was stunned by how many ridiculous requests. I can understand trading a Piplup for a Chimchar, but a Turtwig level 1 for a Suicune?
|
I very rarely respond to someone else's offer (I traded a Krabby for a Corsola once, but I think that's about it.) I usually put up my own offers, which works well for me. I have some of my rarest Pokemon because of GTS.
|
No , the GTS is not safe . It is full of hacks and Pokesavs . I stopped trading when I received a Lv. 99 Rayquaza met at Rt. 201 . The Pokemon from Pokecommunity's Trade Corner are safe tough , you should trade there !
|
Hey
Do any of you evolve your Pokemon from the GTS |
Yeah, this is outrageous. Very stupid, if you ask me.
A level 1 Eevee for any level Palkia. It was a good idea at first, then everyone abused it for this. That's why there's no trades through there anymore. So much easier to do it through there. But, you can't find a pokemon like Alakazam without an asking price of a Diagla (I would trade that..idk why) |

I never done the Evo' Trick before . I have my bro' next to me which is always happy to help me evolve my Pokemon ! :] And those I get from the GTS... I trade on the GTS just for fun . I just let other Pokemon drift alone in Boxes . XDD |

I used to do GTS trades regularly until I got sick of some of the requests. Those Pokemon are just collecting dust now (or got deleted when I sold my Pearl back to GameStop), as I only went on there to collect ID numbers for the Jubilife Lottery.
I *did*, however, get a shiny Gastly for cheap off the GTS :P |
Yeah..
I was actually surprised that someone wanted a lv.100 palkia for one of his Starlies.... |
Ive gotten a few shiny LEGIT pokemon. The GTS is uselesss, that why he have forums like this to trade in.Although if it wasnt for that I wouldnt be able to clone. (Ive never lost any pokemon cloning because I set it to Arceus Hurray for TRU arceus!)

Although, I did get a legit shiny Rhyperior once from the GTS. :3 I traded a Regirock for it, which I thought was pretty fair. |

I've actually gotten a few really good deals from the GTS. I got a level 100 Alakazam for a level 1 Munchlax. That Alakazam was probably the only reason I beat the Pokemon League. |
I havent been on the GTS for a while now but I remember lots of ridiculous trades the last time I got on like a lv 1 eevee for a lv 100 dialga or a lv 5 piplup for a lv 100 Mesprit. Some people are just weird.
|
Depends on what your looking for. It's always good to find people that are trading pokemon that only evolve threw trading though.
That's the only reason I use the GTS. |
I've gotten a few good pokemon off the GTS, but yes, 90% or more of the pokemon offers you see on the GTS are absolutely outrageous. All of the decent trades I've gotten off it were offers that I put up, and still, there have only been a few of them. I love going to the trade corner, though. I've gotten all my rarest pokemon from generous people there.
|
Wow, lot of posts.
And Kristine, what'd you use to generate that Trainer Card pic? I've never seen one that detailed before. |

^_^ I used the instructions at http://www.neopets.com/~Jolteon55_2000#2 to create my own! I spent about two hours putting it together this morning xD |
Yea they do ask for some crazy prices (lvl 100 mew for meowth wtf?) another thing I find weird is people asking for the same thing they put up(palkia for palkia or dragonair for dragonair)
