Global Terminal Station Related Woes !
 
So ya i just got a level 17 turtwig in a wifi trade using the global Trade Station.I traded a Abra level 11 for it.

The turtwigs nickname was AAA...
I hate it when i get pokemon in a trade with nicknames or just plain out dumb crap.

What about you ?

Edit by Erik:
This thread was merged from two very similar threads both of which featured complaints about the GTS. I see no reason to have multiple, so I merged them. :D

I hate it when I say look for a Stunky and they want a lv 100 Legend for it and I'm like in what world is that going to happen?
and yeah I hate the idiotic nicknames as well

biancafanboy July 21st, 2010 8:42 PM

The nicknames annoy me, I never trade if the pokemon has a nickname. I think the nickname rater should remove nicknames no matter what, not just if he doesn't like it.

Hatsuharu July 21st, 2010 9:47 PM

The nicknames; and someone wanted a level 100 Palkia for their level 25 Primplup, I was like wth??

Eurydice July 21st, 2010 9:57 PM

i hate trying to find pokemon on the gts. everyone wants a level 100 pokemon for like a caterpie

Alternative July 21st, 2010 10:01 PM

GTS is annoying like that. Most reason people do it though is because they want foreign Pokemon. But it is annoying when someone says "I ONLEY WANT A L3V3L 10 M3W FOR MAH BIDOF!!11!11 OMG WTF LOL"

Don't you hate it when Team Galactic steals your Honey so they can attract Pokemon in great numbers?

Hatsuharu July 21st, 2010 10:01 PM

I like asking people on here more than relying on the GTS.

I was using the GTS Trade Evoultion Method, so I had to trade this guy my female Combee for a male Combee (already n00bish enough) and when I get it, it's nickname was , . Seriously, it was a comma. The GTS is ridiculous. Look up, say Zubat. You'll find "Zubat lvl. 1 Wanted: Celebi Lv. 100" and stuff like that. It's actually very hard to make an ACTUAL trade on there because a vast majority of requests are the ones a said earlier.

The GTS is destroyed by greed. It is now worthless unless you are lucky enough...

Fortunately, I got a Japanese Mankey off it. XD

I do hate silly nicknames. I got a Luxray called Kitty with a smiley face.

CakeForTheSoul July 22nd, 2010 7:40 AM

Uh Honestly its massive retardation. I just wanted to collect Lugia. I traded a nicknamed Lugia and I got a nicknamed one back not to mention it was named "Skyweasel".
I swear if I ever find the kid who did I going to beat his @$$!

Kirbychu July 22nd, 2010 7:49 AM

If the GTS returns in BW I really hope we can search for what other people want.

I happen to love ridiculous nicknames, in fact, I'll name a Pokemon something stupid for the sole purpose of trading it on the GTS.

I hate it when I get a Pokemon from GTS with a racist NickName. I got a Ludicolo and you do not want to know what it's NN was.

I have an Idea but thats just messed up.

shininglatios217 July 22nd, 2010 8:42 AM

Finding a shiny Charmeleon Lv100 in the GTS and the trainer was looking for a female Piplup (that was the second most stupid trade I have seen in the GTS that is actually possible) and I also found Lv4 Regigigas that have a nickname I don't want to write. They were asking for Lv 9 and under Bibarel.

I thought after seeing that, "What the hell is happening with the GTS?"

Morgnarok July 22nd, 2010 9:46 AM

I got about 3 diffrent trades of turtwigs from gts just today and all of them had nicknames and one had a Hm move tought to it at level 1 so whats the point of gta anymore they just screw up pokemon

Westie7 July 23rd, 2010 8:12 AM

Back when I had access to the GTS, when I traded it was simply for female Pokes to breed. I honestly didn't care about any of their stats, just that it was a female. I lost my connection to the GTS, though, so I can't trade anymore.

G-Virus July 23rd, 2010 8:22 AM

I agree with most you guys. I've seen people have level 1 Bidoofs and asking for a Darkrai -_-...

And on a sidenote if nicknames: My friend traded me his Dialga, and it was nicknamed "Time ROAR!". Nonetheless, it had the moves Cut and Slash -.-.

Glane, Lettuce, and Tomato July 23rd, 2010 8:26 AM

Doesn't bother me.
Unless I'm trading for a simple addition to the Dex or for an Evolution obtainable through trading, I just breed whatever i get so I can make it my own, rather than someone else's.

Unless it's a shiny.
The GTS is actually a good way to advertise. I've put Shinys up for trade who were nicknamed with my forum's web address. It was short enough to fit.

Hahaha, kudos to you!
I can't use the GTS since I have no wifi to use but man, some of the trades I hear people talking about... it's so ridiculous.

But yeah, if I'm going to trade with a friend or something I insist upon giving nicknames.
I like to trade simply for the sake of trading :3 It's sorta cute having a someone else's butterfree or whatever.

Weavile05 July 23rd, 2010 2:39 PM

I got a croagunk named Boufon once.
WTF kinda nickname is that?
I also once got a ditto named two faces.
I sorta understand that one, but it's still a bit ridiculous.

Mayfan24 July 23rd, 2010 4:16 PM

the GTS nonsense trades are exactly why I opened my trade thread. I might suggest my friend go through my thread from now on just because of the idiots and the trades they "offer"

DarkAlucard July 23rd, 2010 5:00 PM

Well i'm a little selfish so if i trade a pokemon, breed with it, have and egg and then save the traded pokemon in the PC. I really like the pokemon with my OT so i never had trained a pokemon that isn't mine. So if they have a ridiculous NN or if is a stupid trade i don't care, is a pokemon that in some way can help me and has valor (even if is a Gyarados NN as 12345)

LadySurreal July 23rd, 2010 10:55 PM

What everyone says, wanted legendaries or level a hundred pokemon and the pokemon they offered is a Bidoof....

Adâm July 23rd, 2010 11:09 PM

I generally only use Pokemon with my OT... So I don't much care about the nicknames, I just use the Pokemon for breeding.

What I do absolutely despise is the actual stupidity of the people on the GTS. I mean, it's been said before, but I was looking for a level 9 and under Stunky-

One was after a level 100 Entei
Another wanted a Celebi
And one had the total idiocy to ask for a level 9 and under Arceus!

Yes,I understand but not everyone has 2 of the pokemon or a ditto.
