>you STILL can't examine basic information on pokemon over GTS, 99% of pokemon with HA/IVs/egg moves listed are complete lemons with none of the advertised qualities
>trading legends/mythicals over GTS STILL isn't prohibited so there are still 500 fucking little kids asking for Arceus with PLEASE in the description

Does Nintendo just like making the GTS a completely shitty, unusable system? It has had these very same problems since gen four, TEN YEARS and they haven't addressed them.

real trades happen within a day

the ones asking for event legends have usually been up for a year or two

it's literally your fault for trading for a 6IV mon without a guarantee that it's 6IV

You can disable results for people asking for ubers/mythicals.

That and the comment system makes it useful for giveaways on wifi general. So they improved it a bit.

Just put up something of slightly higher value of what you're asking for and within 10 minutes most of the time you'll get what you want. GTS was a godsend when I was building my living dex.

I'm not stupid enough to trust people on the GTS, the point is the GTS as a system is completely dysfunctional because any search is flooded with idiotic unreasonable requests and without the ability to detect lemons, you can NEVER use it for trading pokemon of any value. It's purely a dex completion tool. And that's fucking stupid when it could be so much more useful.

Even the ability to just filter out mythical/legendary requests and see stats pages would be enough to make it perfectly fine. They've had 10 years to make these very simple and obvious changes and haven't.

I know it's useful for that, but I want a system where I can trade my 5IV HA pokemon for other 5IV HA pokemon. If I put it up with that request you know someone's just going to fill it with a completely shit tier wild caught pokemon.

Just use wi-fi general. It's cancer most of the time but its fantastic if certain people are there.

If nobody looks at offers, because they are worthless, and just posts their own, who is it that trades for the offers they posted?

Masuda has interns going through the GTS and filling trades. But they're GF interns so they do a shitty job of it.

This. How could anyone possibly be arguing any of this? The GTS is next to useless and it doesn't need to be by any means. It could be a very useful and productive system with few changes.

if you're looking for a rare mon you'll have to browse

sometimes you get lucky and someone's trading a hatchling for something you have

I've gotten plenty of 5IV stuff in WT since a lot of people trade their breeding remnants to get more unique IDs so they can up their odds of winning the lotto, I get better pokemon over WT than GTS.

It really speaks to how fucked the GTS is that it's easier to get quality pokemon over completely random trades.

>>28902135
And it has ALWAYS been this way! Ten fucking years and GF hasn't fixed this very simple issue!

you can filter out mythical and legendary requests

go into options in the seek menu and it'll ask you if you want to include "special Pokemon," which includes mythicals and 680 BST legendaries

I have been giving Pokerus over WT since that's all I have.

Haven't had time to breed and I just now repurchased a 3ds after my OG one was stolen what, 3 year ago, had a bunch of shiny, iv bred/ev trained, event legend Pokes in my Y version so I'm a bit disillusioned and meh.

Plus Sun and Moon is coming out so I'll just start breeding then.

But again, only for dex data. You'd never dare to evolve a good karrablast/shelmet over it.

All they need to do is include stats pages and let the person putting up the trade make specific requests for nature, ability, and IVs. IVs wouldn't even be so hard, just put stars under a 'potential' statistic in a pokemon's stat page, one for each flawless IV and let you request based on the number of stars.
