iidk if there is already a thread on this but watever

Dont you think they should have more options, for the GTS?

Example: If ur looking for a electivire, culdnt they allow u 2 put up a search for a electabuzz holding electrizer, same for magmar and dusclops.

Also cant they just allow you 2 search for a pokemon and its evolutions all at once
Example: Lets say u put an offer up for a jolteon, wat if they let u put eevee,lefeon,espeon etc.

You might think y wuld they need it but maybe somebody just wants any of the eeveeloutions and not a specific one

Having options like this wuld really help out to me, but if u have any other ideas tell me about it
 
Technical Stuff (Made "simple")- The GTS was locked in to the set up as soon as 4th Gen Launched. Platinum and HGSS had an extra search options, only because this Data was available to everyone on GTS. They can't alter GTS much since the Client-side can't be patched with ease as PC games are. (The Client in this case is the DS games.)

I've not experienced it myself, but Black/White has a modified GTS. It still operates on the 4th gen style for the most part. They added a different Type of trading, with another online user. (I'll ask if Serebii can do a page on it.)

Personally I find that breeding Starters and Popular Pokémon, such as The regulars in the Cartoon, Trade well as long you don't request Events, or legendaries.

During the Spring, I was trading Meowth faster than I could Breed them. I had it alerting my Wii every time I made a trade. I often just left GTS Building to get an Message on my Wii.

One final thing, Most people don't respond to a poorly written topic.
 
Its usually easy to get a trade going on the GTS, but mostly if you're trading version exclusives. I traded away a Vulpix from my SS across the GTS for a Growlithe after about a day.

Searching for a pokemon is a completely different story, those damn noobs cram the GTS with crappy offers.

I actually had a problem with the GTS the other day. Someone wanted to trade a Purugly for a Totodile, so I whipped up a Totodile, went back on, found the offer still there, but the trade wouldn't work. I did everything right, all they wanted was a Male Totodile, any level. When I tried to trade the Totodile, it wasn't highlighted, it was grey, like any pokemon that they aren't looking for.
 
I wish some of the search options had been made much easier in Generation 4. For me personally, I like having Pokemon captured in the main 4th Generation regions like Sinnoh and Johto/Kanto (Faraway Place). I wish there was a function that would allow us to search for these types of Pokemon instead of having to wade through tons of pal-parked Pokemon from places like Hoenn. I did hear that things improved in the new games, but not all that much.

While it seems like a good idea, but it would make the "Bidoof for Legendary" problem worse.

The Main way I see they get around it, is to be able to find or at least see at least one member of each Evolution Family, which appears to be close to the case in the 4th Gen.

Iorn Beast: You broke the rules posting this post.. It was over a Month since the last post. Since it was only a few hours over I'm letting it slide.
 
The thing that annoys me the most about GTS(except that you can not see their stats and movepool) is that it lacks a reverse mode. Like that you can search for people searching for [inset pokémon name].
 
An option to search for items would also be very useful.
 
I just wish they would find a way to allow us to view the natures of the pokemon that are being offered but more importantly it would be nice if they could stop the silly offers which makes using the gts a real pain.

Most, if not all this could have been done, as the "data" needed is on the server.

The problem is that due to the way the DS system (aka the Client) using a Read only Software for the game. You can't add change the GTS system after the game was released. Diamond and Pearl GTS looks exactly like it did almost 4 years ago.
 
I wish there was a reverse search. I could be like okay I have a graveler, what can I get for it?
I want to instate a rule that is legendary for legendary and high level for high level. I'm sick of ppl putting things up for trade like Rattata for Mewtwo or Bidoof for LV 100 Blastoise.
