Jack in!! MegaMan, Execute!
I have one, though I rarely use the cheat function aside from getting BP for the Battle Whatevers so I can load up the Pokemon I breed with the moves I want instead of needing to sink a ton of hours into the Battle Whatevers.

It works pretty well, though the fact that it seems to need frequent updates is pretty annoying.

Ok I just got a Xerneas through the GTS.

The guy, huh, wanted an Aromatisse. Yeah I have no idea.

Someone once GT'd me Yveltal for a Squirtle. People are cool sometimes.

In this case, though, I think it's just because they're version exclusives from opposite versions. I guess Xerneas and Yveltal would've been a more standard trade, but eh.

Being generous with Pokémon is the best, especially if you have boxes full of shinies from the days of the clone wars. Saw somebody looking for a shiny Umbreon, because shiny Umbreon is sweet. So, I gave him a shiny Eevee, then two more shiny Eevees', a shiny Dratini, and a shiny Charizard.

The worst is when someone doesn't answer your trade request. You hosed up.

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

Yeah this happens too often. The most depressing thing is when you trade a couple of mans with someone, add them to your friendlist, and for some unknown reason they loving refuse. I have a total of 2 friends barely playing Pokemon XY/ORAS and trading anything is super hard and unfun. Not to mention I'm missing or need to trade for most safari mons which is pretty annoying.

see for example I've been trying to get a simple Swirlix for the last couple of days and most of GTS is asking Yveltal or Meloetta for it and it triggers me

those people should be Ditto-hosed in the middle of the night

I think the most frustrating thing about trade is the "waiting for the player to finish" when you cancel. But hey everything about wonder trade, GTS, and "peer to peer" trading is super slow, clunky and designed in the most rear end backward way in an otherwise stellar game(s).

I pondered a bit and thought it was just a saucy Ditto joke and not the other type of joke. Apologies if it was taken as the other type of joke!

Don't go looking for trades. Instead, put up a trade of your own that's asking for what you want. In your case, maybe put up a Spritzee and ask for a Swirlix.

A mosasaur and an Ichthyosaur. Or they could do some of the weird creepy crawlies from way back like Hallucigenia.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:

I guess it would be a bad time to mention that most of these were available over the past several months? :ohdear:

On the plus side, Volcanion comes out in two days, Keldeo is on Mystery Gift now, and you can also get a Meloetta and Genesect in the upcoming months. The latter three you could probably trade for some of those.

Also, if you're willing to get ORAS, you can catch Deoxys in-game.

I have all the 5th gen legendaries except Victini, because I was actually paying attention to the events during that period of time. but I get in and out of being interested in playing Pokemon, sometimes going months without picking up my 3DS.

Also Linoone shouldn't have an E at the end, it looks like "lin-oh-one" and Gible should be Gibble, since with one B you'd think it rhymed with Bible.
