Well, I think it was hacked... but it still makes me wonder how. I tried transferring my hacked legends from Black/White series, and they got deleted. :/ I don't know if power save might have something to do with the Jirachi being hacked. *shrug* I still kept it though. I wanted a Jirachi, and I got one. That's all that matters to me.

Anyway, I haven't wonder traded in a long time. I usually do it when I'm after new pokemon I don't have or for restarts if I can get all the ones I need for a good team.
 
I stopped wondertrading awhile ago but ik cause my friend does Wondertrading wednesdays and loves to text me what shinies he got its not dead pllus what happended happens to everyone from time to time just a low amount of activity lately it may be dying out slowly though.
 
I've never heard of Wonder Trading Wednesdays! What's that all about? (Aside from the obvious!)

I used to Wonder Trade a lot, for the fun and to get the IDs for the Lottery, but I'm too scared to now after hearing horror stories of people's games getting corrupted!

Rest assured, they aren't true. Those stories come from people, who try to scare people, so they stop WTing all these early game rodents. If there was an actual way to corrupt the save file through WTing, we'd know about it and more importantly, GF would be forced to do something about it.
 
I've been doing a play-through where I'm kind of role-playing within the roleplay and there was a part in the story where my character discovered wondertrade. So I went to wondertrade praying that I didn't get any of the starting route fodder, totally breaking the immersion! (Yes, I'm sad like that) and I ended up getting a level 17 Combusken. I picked Treecko as my starter so I was pleased with this. So I guess you still can get good things through it! Who sends a Combusken though? Haha. I mean level 1 Torchic or Level 100 Blaziken, but Combusken? Weird!
 
I think it's because of the lame offers Wonder Trade is not that popular.I usually use the Global Trade and it actually has pretty good offers(like a level 71 Mewtwo for a level 79 Mewtwo)
 
So far no problems wonder trading in my copy of Alpha Sapphire. I did a wonder trade today a little bit ago and got a Charmander from a guy in Portugal.
 
Been wondertrading a lot over the last few days. I've had maybe three "not found a trading partner"; about 50% of zigzagoons, poochyenas, caterpies and ralts; 50% other things, including some pokemon I have never encountered before. Wondertrade is certainly not dead.

Last night I got the same mix as above but also three shinies! Looks like Wondertrade Wednesdays is still going strong too!
 
Wonder Trade has definitely died down a lot since it was first released. I used to never have the problem of not finding a problem, and even though it's only occasionally, sometimes I can go two or three times without a partner. I have to say, though, since Wonder Trade has died down, I've had a lot more luck finding some pretty cool Pokémon. I've even gotten a shiny once or twice. :)
 
Either I get what I'm looking for or Pokémon I don't need. Though, I did get a Dialga the other day which was a shock. But mostly I WT my breed jects hopefully getting something with egg moves.
 
Try using it on Wednesday. A lot of people do "Wonder Trade Wednesday" where they give out a lot of Pokémon who have been bred to have high IVs and even shinies, I think some people on Twitch even stream when they're WTing their shinies and whatnot too.

However, it's kinda expected to be used less as the amount of people playing Pokémon starts to dwindle. It'll pick up again when Z version (or whatever) gets released - even maybe when it's announced, since I know some people like to breed some Pokémon in preparation for a new game.
 
I still use Wonder Trade - many repeated Pokemon I don't like I seem to get a lot, once in a while I'll get some with hilarious nicknames.

As for myself:
When I breed, the so called 'breed rejects' with bad natures & ability I don't WT, I just release them. Normally for me it's about 2/3rds of the eggs.
With my remainders, I'll breed an entire box - the ones with correct nature and ability - I will save 6 for GTS and the other 24 I will Wonder Trade, but I'll make sure to give them an item (such as a Full Restore).
 
I noticed it as well.
Now, I'm a night owl in the United States, so since most people in the US are asleep, it could be taking away from the population on Wonder Trade.
However, I've always been on the night schedule. And it's only recently that I've been getting long waits for a trade partner, so, yeah. I'd say WT is dying down.
 
Occasionally I just trade a lot of Pokemon I got two or more of. About 10 or so, and just see what it turns out to be. And I have to say it works pretty well for me usually. I got a lot of Pokemon that I didn't catch yet, and the waiting times are really acceptable (about 10-15 seconds). But I live in Europe, not sure if that makes a difference.
