All the trades aren't ballenced.Like a lv.3 biddof for a lv.100 rhyperior or something like that.The only thing I like about the gts Is you can clone pokemon with it.Which I think is why people are putting up trades like lv.100 dialga for lv.9 and under uxie.The only trade I was able to make on that mess is my american blissy for a japenesse combee.

The GTS has been the biggest joke since Rosie O'Donald said that fire couldn't burn steal.

The GTS has many problems that I wish could have been resolved. As mentioned above, ridiculous offers are all over the GTS. A resolution to this problem is to arrange level based on the minimum level you can obtain it. Such as instead of Dialga 9 and under as the minimum request, Dialga 40 and up should be the minimum. Hacks are practically littered on the GTS, in hopes of getting a good deal by trading it off. Also, not being able to check the summary highly increases the chances of trading for a hack. However, I can't say I hate the GTS. Nearly half of my event collection comes from a guy from Okinawa. All I had to do was trade a Magikarp/Starly/Bidoof (Yes, I'm sure they're legit). The cloning glitch also prevents from losing anything in a trade.

So the GTS does share many flaws as well as benefits.

I agree with all of what has been said, I also wish you could trade the pokemon in your PC on GTS... Anyway, the ridiculous offers sometimes do get you powerful pokemon. I got a Lv 100 Non hacked, fully Ev'd in Def and HP Skarmory for a Lv 9 or under Combee. It is ridiculous what people offer though...

I wouldn't necessarily say the people who offer the Pokemon are the morons. The people who actually trade for it are the morons. If the offerer gets a great trade like that, they would be tempted to try and pull of another trade like that. Then if others see that the person actually pulled off the trade, they would try to pull it off themselves.

I just went to GTS yesterday to see what you guys were talking about.

I was looking for a level 5 and under Turtwig but the wants were ridiculous.

Yeah.Like I'd give that guy a level 100 gengar.The only thing I like about the gts is that the cloning glitch is pretty useful.

The GTS is broken because Nintendo didn't take into account that seven, eight, and nine year olds would playing the game and pretty much ruin the system.

Looking for: lvl. 99 Dialga!
Offering: level 1 Magikarp!

Not to mention, you can't tell if the pokemon you're getting is hacked or not. Basically, just don't use it.

The GTS does have a lot of flaws, but I've found a bunch of good deals, with some (.. ok, a lot of) patience. Though I've had the trouble of getting really obviously hacked pokémon for pokémon I worked hard on. Rudely named things, too. There should be more precautions.

I really hate it. About 1 in 100 offers are fair. I especialy hate it when people ask for unoptainable pokemon. Wormple for a Mew, Shinx for a Darkrai. It really gets on my nerves.

HAHA yeah i seem to get all my ridiculous trades from japan aswell.

It seems to me that some people dont realy care on what they do in game aslon as they "complete" it and can show other people that they have.

the trades are really unbalanced, but what can you do about it?
the kids want a level 100 dialga for a bidoof, when you can just walk out and find one, i think they think that we are stupid.
However, there are some great deals on it.
for my friends cloned level 100 aggron, i got a level 100 shiny starmie, with great moves, and its modest nature.
The GTS is bad for trading, but you will find a fair trade at least once an hour.
but i had to give up my mew for a deoxys.
that mew was a curse to me.

I wouldn't say the GTS is to bad. I mean, yeah, there are ridiculous offers on it. It kind of annoys me to run into so many of them. I still like to put up offers on the GTS, though. Like I would put up a bred pokemon for a starter I didn't have and it would happen overnight. I guess it has its ups and downs.

There's a simple solution... Don't use it.

If you're really that afraid of getting a hacked pixel monster or you're really that annoyed that you can't find someone who will trade you a level 48 Gengar for your level 59 Medicham, then... Just stop?

I don't mind GTS. I got a lot of regular ones from there. I've hardly ever got a noticable hack. Although one shiny Larvitar said it was caught at level 100 in a place it doesnt even appear. But I traded junk for it and just needed it to add to the dex so I wasn't too annoyed. Some people don't know the value of Pokemon, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Although it is annoying that you can't look for pokemon not in your dex. That used to annoy me.

If you are just looking for the odd dex filler then the GTS can be useful, and if you are REALLY lucky you also find the odd Shiny (not hacked), but I myself barely use it due to the fact that it is just full of hacked Pokés and ridiculous requests.
