4th Gen The GTS

[*~Fireheart~*]

I don't know if it annoys you, but it annoys me.

K, before I joined PokéCommunity, I would go on the GTS to look for Pearl Pokémon, since I didnt have Pearl and none of my siblings or friends did at the time.

So you go on the GTS, and you look for a simple Pokémon: a glameow. A few traders appear, offering their glameows. They all have simple ones, probably "freshly" caught. And what they want for the glameow is.... a mew.

OK. So I see where your getting at. You want a common, regular Pokémon for an event and legendary Pokémon? Uh... I don't think so.

This annoys me a lot! I looked at what the Bidoof listings were, just for fun. A bunch of people wanted a level 1 male Bidoof for a celebi, or ho-oh or mew! Gosh, if somebody wanted just a plain bidoof all you have to do is sit in the grass new Twinleaf Town!

Does this annoy you?

 

[Kaseo]

Actually no. That kind of stuff actually makes it easier for me to get Pokemon difficult to obtain normally. Just need to clone some of my stuff and then...yup

 

[Kokuo]

It really annoys me. I'm always curious if anyone ever accepts those ridiculous trades.

 

[Predator.]

Yeah, this is ridiculous. I myself traded my Ho-Oh for a Machoke because i desperately needed one :o.

 

[Milke]

Those people are just asking for a hack. I once saw someone offering a Mewtwo for a Magikarp. :o I snatched it right up. People with insane offers are usually just looking for a pokemon with a different language, but i don't know why.

 

[Xxrecxx101]

a it does annoy me but wat i was thinkimg is that they are probly little 7-8 year olds who just want pkmn so i just trade them all hacks
lmao ^^

 

[Gimmy]

It is annoying, but if I look for the legendary pokemon they usually arn't asking that much at all for them compared to a stupid pokemon like bidoof. xD

 

[Zelda]

Sometimes it does, but I barely go to the GTS. Also, I guess people do it because they want to see if someone will actually do the trade.

 

[Justout]

What? You wany my level 17 zubat? Sure, for a level 100 Deoxsys lolololol.

Yes, it bugs me, too. When you can only see three offers, it clogs the GTS to the point of uselessness.

 

[Niprop]

I was tempted to buy a new DS, Game, and AR just to make hacks and teach those pricks a lesson.

And even worse, Platinum made it harder to read what pokemon a person wanted (you can't see gender or level anymore), turning the GTS into a sore.

It's not all that bad though, as long as the said common pokemon is shiny/special/holding the Master Ball/Max PP/Sacred Ash, hey I'll trade my level 70 Kyogre for a level 16 shiny porygon... If I had one.

 

[Naxus_Darkstar]

i love this when it is the other way around.
i scam the nubs on the gts all the time. i got a legit lvl100 palkia for like an abra

 

[Burzes]

Earlier today I was looking at Rampardos and I came across a shiny Gliscor that said it was a rampardos. It was just weird.

 

[SpiderCarnage]

Yes it is extreemly annoying i did that a few times i ended up getting an event manaphy & darkrai so i'm not one to complain

 

[DCstrX]

i wish they wouldve gotten more diverse with the gts.
i mean they could have done so much more.
ok i can handle the fact that you have to SEE a pokemon before you could ask for it. but i mean .
come on. at least add more options like natures, or give a bigger range of people to trade with at once i mean u cab trade with 7 people only for a certain search.
its all bs. they need to work on that MAJORLY

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I do that sometimes and the following day, I actually get that Pokemon that I want. Desperate cause for desperate measures


:t354:TG

 

[Zelda]

Well I guess people do it to see if people would actually trade them. It is worth a try.

It does get annoying at some points, but if I am in need I don't go to the GTS much.

Masuda method. 'Nuff said.
