I understand completely. I wanted a Charmander early on in SoulSilver, and someone wanted a level 100 Darkrai for it. Why the hell would I trade that? I've only seen a couple of sensible trades.

Gamefaqs has the best easy access trading forums i've found for pokemon.

However if you want quality smogon is where its at.

The whole way serebii seems to work its trades seems totally bassackwards.

also captchas suck

This, like Shining Darkness sounds like an oxymoron to me.

If kids are 'idiots' then you can't say they're not 'idiots' while claiming them as idiots. It's like saying, "Fire's not hot. Fire is hot."

It is indeed an oxymoron. Contradictory statements of definition are quite funny, absurd even.

All those reasons are why I use the GTS negotiations in black/white (except that time a Useful pokemon I didn't need for one I really wanted). But the negotiations have their problems especially when you get someone who just started their game and have nothing, also when there's a communication breakdown ( 4 emotes is all you get ) it gets annoying.
But you can find some good deals with it! :D

Yes, as stated 300 times already in this thread, the GTS is rather well, terrible. It really needs an overhaul on the way it works. Why do I also have to have seen a Pokemon to trade for it? I mean seriously whose bright idea was that? Probably whoever designed the whole thing in the first place

One thing I'd like to see added is a different way to search for Pokemon. For example
Say I have a level 10 charmander and I want a squirtle, I could just say I'm looking for a squirtle and say I have a level10 Charmander, it will then search and see if there's any trades for that.

Heck I'd even make it so you could just say you have a lvl10 Charmander but don't care what you wanna trade for, so it searches for trades that are looking for a charmander (and level) and then you get a list of available trades.

Of course this is just wishful thinking... (Although it could be in Black and white for all I know)
