Sorry if this has been asked before, but how many of you have gotten fair trades? I've traded twice, a Diaruga for masukippa, and a s. attack psychic trio pokemon (cant remember name) for a scorpi. Me being the trader of the legendaries. I considered it a fair trade as i dont plan on using legendaries, but i noticed that 99% of the trading on gts are for legendaries or Lv.100 pokemon. Since I dont know japanese i just casually went through each japanese symbol seeing if i had anything people want, and the first pokemon that came up was machop. Well guess what they wanted in return? A level 100 pokemon for a level 15 machop. I could maybe understand if it was a machoke because it'd evolve once traded. But a machop at level 15, which any game, diamond or pearl, could catch (at that level btw) for a level 100 anything is absurd. I hope that when americans get this game they arent as ridiculous, since i plan on getting pearl here. This was mainly a rant, as Im sure people have traded on there and gotten fair deals, but i was actually offended that someone thinks that someone is stupid enough to trade a Lv 100 for a machop.

I have a feeling the trades we see on the GTS will almost surely be more ridiculous then what's on the GTS now.

I also predict many more hacked Pokemon.
 
That is why I am going to trade as much as possible on the GTS, before it becomes HTS.
 
I would take it that they're putting up any of their Pokémon they've caught for certain version-exclusive Legendary Pokémon. (Is there a limit to how many Pokémon you can propose? you know, is it even possible to put up ALL of your Pokémon for trade, hoping for somebody to trade Palkia or Dialga for one of the ones you have?)

Or it could just be kids on GTS not knowing a fair trade if it smacked them in the face. They're probably the same kind of kids who, when you're beating them in SSBM, will yank your controller from your hands and force your character repeatedly off the ledge.

You can only put one pokemon up for trade at a time.
 
Ugh, I hate the GTS, everyone on Earth (Japan?) asks for Palkia or Dialga...
Although I once got a lvl 48 (Or something) Gaburiasu for a lvl 1 eevee. That made me happy.
 
Then how would they seriously expect to find someone who will go for such an unbalanced trade? What are the odds that someone will give up their Dialga or Palkia for a Machop?
 
Geez. I plan to do a lot of trading, because I want to make an attempt to fill the Pokedex again for the first time since Red and Blue, but I'll make an attempt to be fair about everything.

Unfortunatly, we'll likely be looking at an even larger amount of stupid, unfair trades when D/P come to the US. Keep in mind lots of children will also be playing, and many kids don't understand the value of certain things. (I'm not even going to start with the spoiled brats who think they can have anything they want.) :(

*sighs* I don't know how I'm going to be able to trade if all anybody is asking for is the Legendaries. >_>;
 
All I can say is thank goodness for the D/P Trading Thread.
Although, on GTS I did manage to trade a level 20 Naetoru (one of my Dotaitos' babies) for a level 48 Pottaishi, and a Togepi for a Munchlax. Those both seemed like fair trades on my part. Unfortunately, all you'll really see asked for on the GTS are legendaries and game-specifics. I guess I'll be going on a Misdreavus spree.
 
If you ask for a exclusive that is equal to what your looking for, then you'll get it soon. (ex. Murkrow for Misdrevus) I think the reason you don't see them is because they get traded quickly, while those looking for 100s stay there forever. Just put it up and if it's fair, it usually goes through.
 
You got completely ripped off for Masukippa.
They're EXTREMELY common.
You couldv'e traded your Diaruga for something like a Shiny.
 
I havn't traded much on GTS. The one good trade I had was; I put up my Mikaruge and asked for a Lucario. And someone traded me a Lv75 one. I think it was EV trained too.:o

Is it possible to specify that you're trading a shiny over the GTS? I suppose the obvious answer would be that they show you a picture of the Pokemon you're trading for, but I'd think it would be tedious to look through each trade offer for the one that was shiny.

And just where did you get a lvl 1 eevee?

Eggs hatch at Lv1 in D/P.
 
Lol. I should have figured it was something like that.

PROTIP: Putting up a Lucario and asking for a Parukia/Diaruga always works, I got about 3 of each legend by doing that.

Lucario being the fan-boy Pokemon of d/p really helps.

I looked for like 2 days without finding one. Either way i dont really care because I would never use dialga.
 
Another anoying aspect of GTS is when they ask for pokemon that can't be that level.

Ex: There's been times where I've seen a lv. 100 Dialga and they wanted a lv. 10 or lower Enparuto. -_-

They've fixed it so you can't do that with legendaries-Why can't they do this with regular pokemon?
