Unfortunately there's no effective way to communicate with whoever you may wind up with in GTS communications, so using it to find Pokemon you haven't seen yet is really hard. About a year ago, before I joined PC, I needed to find a Vullaby, as it was the last Pokemon family to be seen in my White Version. But it is absolutely nowhere to be found in game. I took to GTS Negotiations and tried EVERYTHING I could think of to let them know that I really needed a Vullaby/Mandibuzz. I tried offering Braviary and spamming the ! button, I tried altering the in game greet to read something like "I want Black Bird" though I don't think that was what I actually said, it wasn't that obvious. I just could not get what I needed. So ultimately, GTS Negotiations isn't what it should be.

Ok hey everyone! I'm back again =P but this time I'm seriously thinking about staying for a while and opening up a new shop! I have a few new ideas that I'd like to try.
Anyone able to tutor me for a refresher on 4th/5th Gen RNG? I've forgotten so much >.<

Hey Greg, great to see you are coming back to TC :D I can help you out with BW Breeding, but that's about it. I was too lazy to learn anything else haha. Swing by chat and the rest of us can help you hook up ;) Also mac will be happy to know you're back obviously o 3o (Though he isn't on IRC at the moment :/ )

Clicky clicky :D

Welcome back, even though I never knew you while you were here. I personally do not RNG, so I can't help you there, but I'm sure someone will. Everyone seems so helpful around these parts.

I was about to make a trade with someone on Tumblr for a 3rd gen shiny starter for giveaway on my Black 2 & I went back to the post to get their FC & they're hacks. :( This person already seems to have an attitude so I'm going to try to back out of this gracefully without being rude but nobody wants hacks for trade & I guess if I breed it the offspring would be a hack too & I don't want to trade someone a hacked Pokemon.

I can't speak for other people, but as long as the Pokemon bred does not inherit anything that would make it a hack (weird moves, abliities, etc.), it's A-Okay in my book. The parent is a whole different matter of course.

Sadly, they're are a lot of hacks out there. I'm glad you caught it though and didn't lose anything.
I went ahead & traded for it. But it was a giveaway so I just traded them a regular old Spoink for it.

I'm not familiar with how to hack check things. When I can I'll try breeding it to see if it comes out with anything funky, but I also don't know what's considered weird though either lol.

If nothing else, I'll get the dex entry out of it.

If you want to, you can post on my thread and I will breed that shiny starter for you :)
As for the hack, release it would be a best idea.

Don't delete it, if possible, upload it to Pokecheck and post the legality analysis in the Hack Report so I can black list it. Or if you can't, trade it to me and I'll do it for you.

I don't want to release it just yet. I'm not going to trade it to anybody or anything though.
And okay, shinyness isn't a requirement for me. :)

Um, ok lol. I will get on my computer & see about that.

It's a Mudkip, by the way. In case anybody was wondering.

I tried out GTS negotiations tonight... NOT A FAN. Just saying. :)
Yeah, it's not really a good place to be to be honest. People can be unreasonable and I have friends who have received hacks off of it.

I set my stuff to level 1-49, cute so I could trade some of the Spoinks, Buneary, Gothita, & Magby to people. I get people putting up level 50+ legendaries, or level 1 previous gen pokemon & kept sending unhappy faces repeatedly. Come on now people. And the one time I didn't put Magby up, I traded a Gothita for a Asian Magby. -_-
If I was a [insert expletive here], I would pawn that hack off but I'm not like that. But these people are absolutely ridiculous. Get real people. GAH. lol

While it's silly that they are trading outside of "level 1-49 cute Pokemon", that's what most people trade online these days. I've seen people complaining about how people don't trade "normal" Pokemon as often anymore. What those people need, is to discover PC (and then make TC even more lively > 3<)

Yes, they should join PC! I've referred a few people on Tumblr to here when they can't find Pokemon they need. But GTS, there was a few pokemon like Swablu or Drowzee, which I don't have, that were reasonable levels but apparently I don't have any amazing Pokemon because I kept getting repeated unhappy faces & then my connection would mysteriously get lost. I had a few people accept the trade, start it, then back out or lose the connection. If they'd come to places like the TC here, they could talk about it. :)

Yeah, the GTS negotiations tool is extremely flawed in that you really can't communicate effectively. I tried everything to get what I needed on GTSN and still never got it. PC is pretty much the best option for anything you need, short of trading someone directly. Of course, regular GTS isn't horrible as long as you've seen the Pokemon you're looking for at some point.

Alright, have a questions for all you traders, shop owners and quick traders alike.

What do you gain from trading? And by gain, I mean what are your goals?

Do you trade so that you can create teams to fight with?
In order to collect, for you enjoy looking at all of these awesome Pokemon?
To help others who are after Pokemon?
How about to simply just make friends/acquaintances?
Or is it a combination of the above?

Just me being curious. ^^ I for one do it in order to build competitive teams, making friends hopefully is just an added bonus for me. ^^
