On the bright side, Mega Venusaur only has two weaknesses (Psychic and Flying) so you know what to do with your Wangmaster.

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.

they should call it wonder trash, and maybe not hide the actual trade behind an acronym

so wonder trade in pokemon y is just a give away your pokemon for a poo poo weedle

why isn't it called "give away your machamp for a poo poo weedle" instead of wonder trade

why doesn't Nintendo know what trade means

why can't I choose what to trade for after I put my pokemon up for trade

why are all the menus so loving poo poo god I hope they aren't as loving horrifyingly lovely in sun and moon

Put the Weedle on wonder trade and repeat until you get something you like.

Well I think you're the one with brain damage, good sir. So I click the icon out of curiosity, no description whatsoever is given to me (japanese developers), my thought is "well it's trade, I surelly will have a way to choose what to trade for, or cancel the trade at some point" but hahaha no.

How is it even possible to be that loving bad at designing online features in 2013. Holy poo poo.

I'm a super casual player and waiting for sun/moon to come out. I tried a bit of XY and I actually thought wonder trade was adorable. :3: Sure a lot of it may have been "trash" but people give out a lot of cool random poo poo through it and I appreciate that.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I'm ready to foil the plans of Chapo Guzma and see him escape prison every time I defeat him. Also apparently he's mad he couldn't make captain, and there's a lot of stuff going on about a monarchy, like the Z-Ring was made by the "Princesses of Alola" so i'm guessing the monarchy was destroyed but the royal family still lives and Guzma is part of it and uses his pirate gansters to try and overthrow the government again or something.

The Wonder Trade icon has a pokeball being swapped with a ? and the regular Trade icon is right there above it. Sorry you lost your machamp or whatever but this one's on you.

I'm not sure anywhere in Pokemon even has a government to overthrow. The closest thing you've got is the local Prof.

Wonder Trade is a great way of wasting time and collecting terribly named pokemon such as this Pelipper I have called "I'm sorry" and I laugh every time I see it in my Bank.

Also I've gotten 3 shiny Eevees through it.

in my experience people send more eevees than zigzagoons, though not by much. both are far more common than any other monster

I like WT but sometimes I would throw a trash mon and get a 5iv Bagon. I would feel so bad that I would force them to trade with me so I can give them something good.

But then they'll give me more good pokemon and I feel worse.
