I've only used the GTS so far but I just get the Pokemon, maybe breed it and hope it's not too hard of a sell whenever I repeat this cycle. I started trading with a Boldore first so I haven't had too much trouble convincing people to trade (although I didn't know it evolved by trade before I made the trade!)

How do you feel when you get a new pokemon from the GTS or a friend?

Depends what I get really, I found a Japanese Dialga with its Hidden Ability from Dream Radar. Don't know why someone would put something as amazing like that up on GTS.
I also managed to get a level 7 Landorus, probably isn't legit but GTS should've prohibited it from being traded, right?
Receiving Pokémon from friends is always fun too, friend of mine generously gave me his Thundurus from White 1 so I could go catch Landorus in Black 1. He even let me keep the Thundurus afterwards.

Sometimes I wish I could smack those people. They're the Pokemon trolls, Poketrolls.

Wait, that feeling you get when trading with someone reasonably via GTS?
I have never heard of that!

I just traded with my friend ZiR. I have to say, he's a really nice guy.

I feel great if I can actually get a Pokémon from the GTS because most trades are unfair.

For me I'm happy if I get Pokémon from there, mainly for Pokédex filling purposes, though some of them are quite good, like a Jolly Gible I got a few weeks ago.
And I'm happier if the trade adds another point to the globe, yeah, my game is a melting pot...
Note: Am I the only one thinking people who wants a Level 9 or lower <insert a random Legendary here> are jerks?

I love trading. Getting my friends', or even strangers' Pokemon is a great way to remind me of them and to interact in a funny sort of way.
Also it helps me win the lottery easier

I'm iffy with traded Pokémon. On one hand, I found a shiny Bidoof in my boyfriends game and he let me keep it, and even though it has his OT and ID, it still feel extremely special to me. On the other hand, I don't like using traded Pokémon, even if it's one I caught/bred myself, if it doesn't have the OT as the game I'm playing then I won't use it. No real reason, especially since they rarely level up enough to stop obeying me, I just enjoy using my own Pokémon.
As for GTS, I've traded on GTS for Foreign Dittos/Pokémon for breeding, or to help fill up my national dex, but I'll never use them again, because they're not my Pokémon. I even got a legit Japanese shiny Butterfree, the only shiny I ever got on the GTS, and I just keep it to look at.
TL;DR I only really use my own Pokémon but sometimes Pokémon traded from friends can be special! GTS Pokémon don't mean much to me though.

If I trade It's mostly because of the inability to get a certain pokémon myself, which frankly is something which does not occur at all anymore these days . I tend to trade only with real life friends though And most of the time there's little emotion to it for me

I feel great when I get a shiny kircketune for a normal baby anorith on Black 2 from the GTS, those kinds of trades make me happy. So whenever I do GTS trades I generally ask for patrats and sometimes give the Pokemon Pokerus to make a competitive battler happy. Though the only Pokemon I get from trades that I use are from my brother's games (usually version exclusives) and ones I get from myself. Actually, to be honest, I don't think I haven't traded with a friend since Pearl and I lost that game.

I am usually very happy when I trade, on the GTS or in real life. However, it is discouraging to have to specify foreign countries just to get some junk trades off of the screen, and then having to specify different levels, genders, DIFFERENT countries (because no one plays it there, no good offers, etc.), etc. to find one I want. I have gotten some awesome, adorable Eevees off of the GTS and Negotiations, though.
