4th Gen Why all the high bidding for a Pokémon in GTS

    • For the first time I used the GTS, I noticed that the pkmn that are placed for trading, the OT or the person who placed that pkmn, wants a high level, especially a lvl. 100, pkmn in return.

    what's up with that? I mean, it's not normal. Why would anyone ask a lvl. 100 Persian (example), for a lvl. 1 Piplup.

    I'm new with this and all I want are the starters, 'cause I started with Turtwig. But I'm not willing to trade a lvl. 100 pkmn for a lvl. 1 pkmn.

    That person is probably cloning. they need a rediculous pokemon in return so it doesnt get traded off. you find it in every pokemon you look for
    to teach cloners a lesson i usually give them the pokemon they look for XD

    I HATE those people! They're pathetic! Once when i needed glameow, i went onto the gts to search for it, and ALL of the people with one (yes, all) wanted either a Mew, Deoxys, Dialga or Palkia! Ugh! It's so pathetic!

    • One of my most funny moments in GTS was when I was looking for a legend apparently I found one and they wanted a lv.100 Luxray for it. I had a Lv.100 Luxray which was going to be traded off either way since I needed a better team. Basically, he learned his lesson and lost his legend XD

    Most people don't seem to get the idea that the person trading on the other side is looking for a good deal. Either that or it's cloning.

    The problem with cloning is that good, reasonable deals are CONSTANTLY overshadowed by morons asking for mew. If I get AR, i'll make tons of level 1 mews and steal as many pokemon as I can - those people will steal other cloners, and i shall reign supreme as the Lord of Evil....or something.

    But damn, it's so hard to find stuff like "Scyther for Pinsir" now. Those are good deals.

    • I only used the GTS for Honey Tree Pokemon like Munchlax and Combee. Once I got all those, I was done with the GTS permanently.

    simple answer is that they are cloning. usually ask for a level 100 Magikarp etc.
    things people wont have.
    sorry if someone already answered this.. im scanning through to answer questions.

    they should really FIX the GTS
    maybe they will when they launch the site

    fix is: no asking for a lvl 9 and under mew. its not possible and it shouldn't be an option to ask for it.

    i know they aren't going to do it but it'd be nice
