Something weird with GTS?

[fluffy]

I've been trading internationally alot at Jubilife. Why?

I offered a lvl 3 Starly for a lvl 70 Snorlax.
I received the lvl 70 Snorlax the next day.

I offered my lvl 5 Shinx for a lvl 80 Tropius.
I received the lvl 80 Tropius the next day.

I offered my lvl 5 Magikarp for a lvl 100 Charizard.
I received the lvl 100 Charizard in 2 days.

All of the pokemon I've received were Japanese by the way. Now does anyone know why it's so easy to get what you want? Can anyone relate with me? I think it's because the Japanese think pokemon from america is like a souvenir but idk really.

Yeah, I traded a Lv 1 Munchlax for a lv 58 Heracross and it took 1 day and also, maybe some people need to make space in their PC after a cloning overdose and they were kind enough to trade with you

English names are considered cool in Japan and thus you can get good pokemon for some not so good pokemon.

Hm... sounds sorta like shines, I guess. People are willing to trade ridiculous things just for a shiny rattata. And from the looks of it, **** are willing to trade ridiculous things for english names.

 

[fluffy]

haha sick. i love the japanese.

 

[WaterTails]

yeah, Chimchar for a starly! :D

 

[homsar]

The name thing is true but they may also want to EV train and get the boosted exp points from the trade.

holy carp that's amazing!, i'll be needing Wi-Fi soon!. but it's true, localized pokemon names are cooler, Articunno's Japanese name is Freezer.... how lame

EDIT: LOL i was censored when i said J A P

I got a shiny lvl 100 Dialga for a 37 Infernape the other day but the Dialga isn't legit.

 

[Lanowen]

Almost nothing is legit these days.

You gotta stretch the definition a bit, because soon everything will be cheated.

For me, if it is within the confines of game mechanics, then it is fine. (Moves, EVs, IVs, and Stats)

 

[RT]

Japanese players are willing to make some crazy trades for Pokemon with English names. If you search hard enough, you can find some incredible offers. Be warned that it's more than likely the Pokemon were either cloned or obtained through some sort of cheating device, but you'll never know either ways unless you compare the EV/IV stats...
