Have you had any luck with the GTS negotiations?

[Shuleek]

Sorry for doubleposting, but this deserves its own post.

I just want to say, Shisune, whoever you are, I really love you! I guess you are girl and that you are German (or you're just playing on a German version with a girl avatar, who knows ), but that's all I know.

The thing is, I started a new game on Black two days ago, but I had help with pokeshifting thanks to two guys from these forums So as soon as I was able to breed, I decided I'm gonna give some Bulbasaur, Mudkip and Torchic away on negotiations. But for almost anhour nearly everyone I met wanted shiny Zekrom or Reshiram, offered hacked underlevelled legends or just showed his Pokemon off and disconnected. Then Shisune happened

It started as usual, I selected my three starters, but I soon saw she has all of them... However, she didn't disconnect, and still wanted to trade... So I tried to show her my Lillipup with Pokerus, and she took it and seemed she really noticed it. And then... Then, we traded. I had more or less one box full of Pokemon that I caught for Pokedex and we traded EVERYTHING! For starters, for Pokemon from other generations... In the end I was left with only a few Pokes that I wanted to keep, my team and my legendaries from previous playthrough... I offered my Kyurem, as a gift of gratitude. She didn't accept. So we exchanged smileys and parted our ways.

What I wanted to say, there are still nice people in the world. And I guess this is what Pokemon should be about, to teach us to be nice and help each other more (yeah I know, kinda cheezy... )

I wish you all good luck, not only on GTS, but generally everywhere

EDIT: Not from Germany. The cartridge is registered to Switzerland.

I traded a regular Mismagnius for a Reshiram on the GTS negotations. Then I traded that Reshiram for a shiny Onix.

[TherianForm]

I traded like a Altaria I just caught for a shiny Suddowoodo

[Wecondo12]

i got my first shiny and i only traded a normal ferrothorn. it was also a sf and i relied on it, and it was a key part of my team. it was haxorus.

I've had load of luck on GTS negotiations i't how i got lvl 100 reshiram,zekrom, rayquaza arceus i even got a lvl 74 kyurem with pokerus. I have GOOD luck!

[FireEmblemAddict]

I had great luck with GTS negotiations today! I traded a Rayquaza to someone for a shiny Staryu~. I have 4 more Rayquazas on White 2 so it's definitely a fine trade. The Staryu is probably cloned but maybe not. It looks legit, and that's all I care about~.

I got my DW Poliwag from GTS. Since then I've bred them and traded for more DW pokemon here. I'm satisfied.

[GoldenMagikarp]

I just got a shiny flawless fully EV trained Gigalith for a shiny Nature sanctuary Haxorus that I got from the GTS. Bold isn't the best nature for a Gigalith, but it's still pretty awesome, and it looks great as a shiny. It's also the first time I get a SF pokemon from the GTS.

I've used negotiations twice in order to fill my 'dex--both were very frustrating, and only one came through.

First I needed a torchic, but I had the other hoenn starters, so I changed my trainer card to "Want WATER? Give FIRE!" (or something like that), and, when the trade started, I would put up mudkip and treeko and show two happy faces and a sad face, indicating that I was happy with the starters I had, but sad that I didn't have a torchic. After zero luck with that (some people understood what I wanted but didn't have torchic, others, often with full boxes, just kept showing off their shinies), I rearranged seven of my boxes to spell "torchic" and repeated the same thing. After a good long while, somebody finally had a torchic, but wanted a legendary for it just to be mean. Stupid. I ended up getting it from one of my friends...

The second pokemon I needed was vullaby; I changed my card to "need POWER SWAP" (or something like that, again), and showed my rufflet and braviary, in hopes the other party would understand that I needed their Black Version counterparts. I had no luck for a while, but finally someone (who had shown off their shinies at the beginning) understood what I wanted and traded their vullaby for my braviary.

Moral: sometimes people who show off are helpful, sometimes not.

It's probably not a good idea to do that on the GTS negotations. Pepole probably won't understand that you want it back. Try asking someone in this thread for help instead: http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthr...Pokemon-Thread

Just with a shiny Haxorus. Nothing else.

If you want starters, the best way to go about is to put: "Want to trade [type]? Here's a hint: [ability]". Only starter Pokemon (and the monkeys) have Overgrow, Torrent or Blaze, and so by putting that most people will understand what you're asking for. Generally it's best to use a signature move or an ability if it's a rare one.

I would like to ask, though, how would someone ask for Pokerus?

[Exeggudork]

it takes a while to find serious traders, but you find them eventually. i traded a karablast for a shelmet and vice versa to complete my pokedex.

[1quacka1]

I managed to get a Phione a while back, possibly for a starter though I can't remember. I bred it and recently was able to trade for a Tornadus. As I have White that enabled me to finally capture Landorus.

[tristanrox8]

I met this awesome guy, where we traded our shinies, like i gave my shiny dragonite for his shiny kingdra, and stuff like that Then i get guys where i give my shiny munna or something and my shiny lanturn and they try and give me pokemon like regular roggenrola, and machop and even at one point. A magikarp.

[Fearless123]

I tried it briefly for my join avenue but I found that it takes too long to set up a trade and the people there disconnect all the time. If I ever need to trade for something I just stick to the regular gts.

[Pikafleg]

I've met a HUGE variety of people, from those with a ton of legendaries to those who only offer the weakest pokemon. There are also those annoying people who just choose three pokemon and confirm it without, um, i don't know, NEGOTIATING!!!!!! lol yeah.....and similarly some who just keep giving you a smile face when you clearly don't want to make the trade but they do....then there was this one weird guy who started giving me a ton of hearts before I even offered a single pokemon......creepy. lol.

[McNugget]

If you mention color change on your trainer card greeting they usually know you wanna trade shinies, so I've gotten like 5 shinies from it....
Anything is better than seeing WANTED: ZEKROM LV. 9 OR UNDER.

[Rakurai]

I've managed to get most of the starter Pokemon from across the different generations by simply offering the fifth gen starters.
