It's not the most fair feature e.g. trading high level pokemon and getting a low lvl Pikachu in return!
Would love it if they had it so you could filter whether or not you would want a similar level pokemon in return and a similar rarity.

It's alright, but since I haven't gotten anything better than a lvl 10 Psyduck I've been trading lower leveled pokemon, or Pokemon I no longer have a use for. So far it's been alright, I've gotten two different forms of Vivillon and a JPN Fennekin.

I don' think it will be used much. I like the concept but most your are gonna get in weaklings you can catch. Be nice way to get version exclusives though. However, it is so random that it is hard to trust.

It's weirdly addictive to me, but I don't think it'll ever get anywhere until people start taking risks and putting up rarer Pokemon. I've gotten so many Pan monkeys it's ridiculous. It's contributed to my irrational hatred of the Pan line.

I got a female Chespin out of this. (Went with Froakie!) Now I breed this Chespin and send out baby Chespins to everyone, and nicknaming them "Enjoy!" (Is it being nice or being a jerk? lol)

If I get traded a bad Poke I'll trade it back to an unlucky person.

A lot of the time you get bunnelbys and pan monkeys. Also a lot of flabebes.

However I have gotten some pokemon I didn't have already like Solrock and Dugtrio. Plus I got an eevee. Its just part of the package. I caught loads of Pumpkaboo and Phantump earlier, and I bred some skrelps. They've been going up on wonder trade.

It's great as a lucky dip kind of thing.

Although this is the first time I'll ever consider releasing pokemon, I have so many bunnelbys in my PC people would think I'm a Bunnelby fanatic. :P

Honestly, I'd love something like that. To me, this feature panders more to the gambling type, and if you're not a gambler, this feature is a bit intimidating. Also, all I've gotten so far is junk.

It's very, very addictive, but oh my god. If I got a penny for every time I got an elemental monkey or a Bunnelby, I'd be rich enough to buy our solar system ten times over. On a brighter side, though, a got 2 Froakies, a Noibat, and a Sylveon. Sylveon is in really high demand on the GTS, so I was thrilled. Felt bad for the other dude, though. I think, in my frustration, I gave him a Bunnelby :P

I've gotten a Riolu and an Absol, but the amount of level 2s and 3s I've gotten of really terrible Pokemon kind of outweigh the good. I still use it a lot, though, it's like gambling. I know I most likely won't get anything good, but I can't help myself from doing it anyway!

Hopefully when the game is out for a bit, more people will be farther into the story and hopefully breeding and putting better stuff on the WT, but only time will tell.

I love it. I love breeding. So my boxes are full of great pokemon that didn't make the cut. Wonder Trade allows me (not that i'm breeding just yet in XY) Hand out IV bred pokemon like candy sometimes with DW abilities!

I've been catching Pokémon in the Terminus Cave in order to train my Delphox, because it's all rock and ground attacks there.
All the Gravelers and Durants etc went straight through Wonder Trade.

Traded approx 20 of them, sadly got nothing notable in return.. :/

Hey guys, I'm just new here on the Forum and would like to add my experiences with Wonder Trade ^-^

Although I just started yesterday with this awesome feature, I've already received some nice Pokemon over a time span of approximately 3 hours (sorry can't remember ALL of the Pokemon I received but I will do my best):

Flabebe (alot), Weedle, Scatterbug, Caterpie, Pikachu, Pancham, Panpour, Pansage (alot of those monkeys), Eevee, Dragonair, Shelgon, Goomy, Gible (alot), Tranquill, Fletchling, Starly, Minccino, Growlithe, Charmander, Haunter (which evolved in Gengar), Graveler (which evolved into Golem), Golem, Zorua and a LV. 48 Zoroark!

That last one was my best so far I was very happy! :) I will continue when I am at home and run out of things to do (or just taking a break from my regular gameplay).
I still think this is an awesome feature though, I'm definitely keeping my Zoroark and Dragonair (for breeding later on, so many people will receive either a Zorua or Dratini).
