GTS and why I hate it.

Have you ever logged onto GTS looking for an uncommon but not very rare Pokemon? Say, a Minomuchi, which come from trees so maybe you haven't had time to find them yet. So when you search for one on GTS, what do you get?

Well, what do I get?

Seiya want's a PARUKIA for a Lv.23 Minomuchi.
Daiya also wants a PARUKIA for a Lv.15 Minomuchi.
And another person named Daiya wants a MANAFI for a Lv.6 Minomuchi.

Someone tell me why they think this'll actually work?
Oh, and let's search up a more common Pokemon, let's say, Bippa.

Ryuusuke wants a Lv.80 FERALIGATR for a Lv.5 Bippa.
Kenta wants a DIARUGA for a Lv.5 Bippa.

Why why WHY. Seriously, are you going to give Kenta your Diaruga for a regular Bippa? No, you're not. So why do they do it. Seriously. Every time you log onto GTS and search for a Pokemon you don't have, you are always always always going to get these idiots clogging up valuble space with their ridiculous trades. They're not shiny, and they're not high leveled. You can go catch them yourself with no effort whatsoever.

I just think this is really ruining GTS for everyone. And can someone please tell me why almost everybody wants an under Lv.10 Agunomu? How many people are actually going to have that anyway?

Discuss, or complain.

HERE, HERE!

Once I found one of the shinies I had always wanted, a shiny Pineco. Can you guess what they wanted?

That's right, a level 10 Agunomu!

However, I did manage to luck out because later another person had a shiny Pineco and just wanted a regular Agunomu. So, now I have a shiny Forretress. :)

The ONLY time I've seen a fair trade involving Diaruga was someone offering a shiny Eteboss for one. I was actually tempted to do that trade. The only other exception is Diaruga for Parukia, obviously.

But whenever I see someone asking for Diaruga and all they're offering is crap, I want to know "WHY!!! SURELY YOU HAVE ENOUGH COMMON SENSE TO KNOW THIS WILL NEVER WORK!!! THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS ON THE GTS WHO WILL JUST GIVE YOU A DIARUGA FOR NOTHING!!!"

Ahem, that's what I think.

I'm better off trading with everybody on Serebii anyway. My shiny Pelliper for a regual Mirakuga. There was a trade where both sides got something they really wanted. :)

What could've been the perfect oppurtunity for people to trade freely and effectiveley has now been ruined by n00bs clogging up the system with impossible wants. An Agunomu below Lv.10? Sorry, excuse me whilst I throw up.

Shiny Eteboosu...Was that yesterday? I think I saw that. But surprisingly, I'm handing out Naetoru for nothing on GTS right now (And my nothing I mean low level Bippa, for example) simply because I have too many of them.

See if you can get one.

Nah, you're ok, I got a few Naetle anyway.

And I saw the shiny Eteboss ages ago. I'd be surprised if it was the same one.

Maybe we should start up a club. The "Make GTS not so crap" club, where we offer good Pokemon for nothing, so people will regain hope in GTS and the noobs will go away since they can actually get the Pokemon they want.
 
(Just logged onto GTS. Cute, someone got my Naetoru ^^. Now for the next one)

Agreed. Maybe one of those support thingies in people's signatures. Or something. Who knows.

Either way, these people are ruining GTS.

I know exactly what you all mean. I've been trying to find a Diaruga for a decent price on their, but with them always wanting the imposible, I've given hope up on that. I don't want to bug friend for it.
I might put random things up on there too. Heaven knows I've got too many Larvitars.
 
Wow, my Naetoru are selling like wildfire.

Then again, what am I supposed to do with all these Bippa?

Now what I really want is a Manafi. But is that going to happen? It's very doubtful. Then again I've gotten some decent trades there. Like I got a Pochama for a Cherinbo.

Trust me, Cherinbo are worth a lot. So are Heracross, Mitsuhoney (female), Minimochi, Aipom and Munchlax.

People on GTS are obvioulsy too lazy to find them themselves. Luckily for me, I'm a lucky git with a female Mitsuhoney and Beequeen. :D
 
As am I! They're not that rare are they? ... I got my Munchlax from a Snorlax...

Anyway, out of curiosity I decided to see how many Agunomu there are below Lv.10 on GTS.

There's none.

Can someone tell me what's so good about a premature Agunomu anyway.

I wish I knew. The only thing that's appealing about it is that it learns Scheme.

It's just so people can be little gits and show off. However, bolgar's friend has the right solution. We should all hack Level 10 ones and do the trades. See how they like it. :D
 
A better idea would to give them glitched premature Agunomu that screws up their game.

Nah that's a little harsh. ...Lol, I just got a Bippa. With Pokerus. That's kinda' weird.

I could offer all the starters on GTS, including a Totodile with Focus Punch, Iron Tail, Ice Beam and Surf. I'd love to see the reaction of whoever recieved it. :D

Well I'm putting breeding spares up on GTS now... just for Bippa. I'm just after IDs from it really. lol I'll see how fast they go.
 

Question the Quilava

Holy! Ambush!!!!
There are almost NO sensible trades on it. GTS' good intentions have been tarnished by people who think its a playground to show off in. Honestly what's the point in requesting a Parukia/Diaruga for a....Zubat? I mean, would anyone actually do that trade (providing they had 1 legit Parukia/Diaruga)? Ironically, yesterday around 11:00 GMT, i did find 2 level 10 Agunomuu's.

On another note i would love for Nintendo implement some sort of 3 strike rule.

Nintendo should define a "sensible trade" (These could differ with level,gender, or rarity) among the 493 species, and record the OT number of the person that uploads the pokemon.

If that OT is found doing un-sensible trade twice,...on the 3rd, the uploaded pokemon faces DELETION.

I think that would be effective but i reckon it would also pose a threat to some innocent users too and also decrese the amount of overall GTS users.

GTS is decent but annoying, perhaps Nintendo will add a security feature in the 3rd game of 4th gen.

Hold up, i thought that you couldn't put hacked pokemon like lvl 10 agunomu on gts?
Not that i'm too bothered though, i'd love to see the looks on their faces when they realize that the shiny they worked so hard for, has just been traded for a hacked pokemon :D
because i've waaaay to many shines and all they want is lvl ten legends, ****ing morons -_-
