5th Gen GTS is basically useless

[peteed]

Patrat everyone wants lvl 100 pokemon for.

Anything else is level 9 or under Reshiram or Zoroark or something else impossible or one off legendaries.

It only shows you 8 possible trade options with no way to scroll (someone on these forums I saw the other day said there was a way to scroll to next lot but I can't find it) to the others you know are there cause if you search specific countries or levels you still get 8 and for some reason its always the impossible to get ones at the top of the list.

The state of the GTS to me seems to portray the pokemon playing community as 99% idiots even if its isn't true the statistics of the GTS listed pokemon certainly seem to make it look that way.

The thing that baffles me is that Nintendo either don't know about it to fix it which seems unlikely or the other option is they are lazy and want to leave the servers on for GTS which costs them money to keep running when its in this broken state.

Has anyone from an official fansite or anything that is in contact with Nintendo directly ever posed the question to Nintendo about if this will even be addressed? Never seen anything to say they have but this is the sort of thing game magazines or official fansites do for other types of games.

As it stands Nintendo to me at least looks very stupid for leaving such an obvious issue unresolved for 6 years since diamond and pearl were first released in Japan.

I totally agree.

I think someone should be looking for the offered trades and take down the impossible offers. It's just ****ing stupid that only 1/8 trades I see are possible, IF I'M LUCKY.

Get your **** together Game Freak.

Some people that want to trade can be idiots... It's not the GTS all the time, sometimes it's the people.

I know. I can't get anyone to trade me a Pikachu. That sucks.

Its not that they can't or won't its "there is no point in fixing it".

You can give more simplistic search parameters to narrow down your search. Yes you get 8 of the options. The search limit is to ease the load on both the games and the central system which has trouble keeping up and updating trades.

The cost to make it more enjoyable for a select few don't outweigh the issues of leaving it as is.

As for level of Pokemon, that is strictly a user setting. Some set it that way purposefully for their own use. Some may think that they can indeed get the pokemon for what they request, and some DO get Pokemon for what they request by those that know how to cheat the system.

There are two known GTS glitches, one for evolving Trade only Pokemon and one for Cloning which some of the time, the ones with the outlandish offers are there for.

Its not something they even see as a major issue in need of fixing.

Now, closing this thread cause GTS rants don't belong in B2W2. And yes I have sent emails once before, they just issue you a "Thank you for your concern." automated reply.
