Edited by lonepaul2441: 7/12/2014 12:14:15 PMYea it is a bit insane, all I do is deposit my pokemon and tell them what I want, some times I would trade things like a Porygon for a weedle. Much better results if you deposit. I had a box full of Porygon just to deposit into the GTS, filled up 200+ spots in my pokedex thanks to that.

IMHO, unless you're the one depositing, don't even bother with the GTS. GTS is only good for dex fodder. If you want an actual good pokemon, use a trade forum or Wonder Trade, because many breeders such as myself dump the 5IV pokemon we don't need there all the time. Hell, I've gotten legit shinies from Wonder Trade before. Just do the community a favor and release all the Rt. 2 garbage.

You can filter out legendaries.

That's how it is for every pokemon. It wasn't always like this. The GTS was once a place where people could reasonably trade together. We acted like men. We understood honor, respect. Back in the days of Diamond and Pearl we held hands and bound together against the wind. But everything changed when the Fire Nation (5th Gen) attacked.

I've actually had good luck with the GTS recently. I usually get what I'm looking for with the right moves in a few trades. It helped a lot when I realized that you can remove trades that are seeking legendaries/events from the results.
