I only get a few trades on the GTS only by putting one on myself and what i want...everytime i search for something, its either showcasing shinies or legendaries or they want legendaries for everything!! back when i played pearl, the trade offers on the GTS seemed more reasonable but when i bought pokemon white, i saw this crap! obviously people expect alot lol

The only thing I use the GTS for is evolution trade such as My Kadabra for a Kadabra. But then some guy gives his an everstone, and trades. And so Mine will evolve for him, and his doesn't for me.

It's just really sad that some people don't grant any fun or enjoyment to other people playing the game.

Nintendo gets on every now and then as an attempt to clean out the GTS. Pokemon that have been there for months end up getting traded. i always make fair trades. I asked for a Charizard in exchange for-believe it or not-and Arceus. I hate Arceus. it ruined the trade and battle strategy. "I need a water type!" has Arceus and changes it to water."Yeah!" Arceus has ruined Pokemon, and I want him to never have existed. Only noobs should use Legendaries, especially Arceus. Nintendo gets calls on how trade gets impossible, so they clean it out, completely, so it can start fresh. People are also using that cloning cheat. I was tempted to use it myself, but I learned in Platinum. Learned not to cheat, or that could screw up your game. BTW, I have a level 32-34 Joltik up for trade. I forget what I want, but would someone like this cute little spider?

I see way too many people asking for level 100 legendaries or hard to obtain legends, like Lv.100 Deoxys.

Well, sometimes it's needed for the Trade Evolution glitch...But only some.
Only noobs should use Legendaries,
Not all legendaries are all that tough. Palkia, Dialga, Groudon...Well, Uxie, Articuno, Terrokion, ect, are much more balanced.

I looked for bravairy, and I kept finding offers for level 100 Reshirams/Zekroms.

What I've done is searched in the GTS for EVERY SINGLE Pokémon in my dex that I didn't have. Fair trades came up about one time out of eighty people. Makes me so mad...

Yeah I just tried to do this last night and the only trade I found that wasn't "looking for Zekrom lvl 9 or under" (and incidentally was something I already had on my Pokedex) was a lvl 47 Cobalion up for trade for an Espeon.

Which is kind of a "coming full circle" moment since before I knew about this site I traded my Zekrom for a Vaporeon on the GTS so I could get all of the Eeveelutions, and then by trading one of my eeveelutions for a legendary =/

Legendary>eeveelution>eeveelution>legendary

Does that make sense?

Yea it can be a pain that way. Did a trade for a Boldore that would evolve... and the dang thing had an Everstone on it. Ticked me off quite a bit there.

Speaking of that... almost everyone and their brother who was trading for starters was asking for them. That isn't bad per say, but it makes it 10 times harder for me to get a hold of the ones that I need. The only ones that bug me are those who ask for legendarys in exchange of the starters they have.

That really steams my broccoli :(.

I don't understand why Gamefreak can't just update the GTS so that it doesn't allow you to ask for an unobtainable pokemon (either because it hasn't yet evolved at tht lvl or it's a legendary/event than cannot be obtained at that lvl)

I'm sure it would take quite a bit of work, but it can't be THAT hard. They've already got the unobtainable gender pokemon programmed in this way, just expand on that

I've also found a pokemon that doesn't belong in the right list..
For example a shaymin with the fraxure
