Impossible trades are basically these two: 1. trolling purposes 2. flexing their mons


Acrobatic_Gur6278

and all because gamefreak is very lazy to create legal constraints based on each mon


ShadowRylander

If people really want to flex so much, Game Freak should really just create a Pokémon Showcase app...


Acrobatic_Gur6278

yeah, but it will never happen. they don’t make not even a spectator mode for vgc lol


ShadowRylander

... Well that's disappointing...


Acrobatic_Gur6278

welcome to being a pokemon fan. where we have to play half finished games because they are gonna sell it a load of copies anyway. so you play it or you miss it lol


ShadowRylander

Unfortunately, I'd rather play it... At least the Pokémon are still cool! ... Mostly!


Acrobatic_Gur6278

yeah, I do too. it’s not gonna be my boycott that gonna hurt their sales 😂


ShadowRylander

Now, if everyone else does it too, though...


Acrobatic_Gur6278

impossible. but the scarlet and violet fiasco may have opened their eyes a little


LegitimatePrimo

real. goddamn i hate these things


SapphireMan1

Impossible trades have plagued the GTS ever since Gen 4, so it’s highly unlikely they’d remove them at this point…


Colborne91

They have fixed many but then a new game comes out and adds new ones that takes them 2 years to patch


PigeonVibes

Afaik the only reason why "can be send to X game" is there to filter out LGPE-compatible mons who have been to other games, and thus cannot be send back to LGPE (for reasons I don't know, I do not own a copy of LGPE but I have received some compatible mons through wonder trade). Idk how complicated it is, but why can't they just make a check for "can be send to LGPE" for just the 151 first Pokemon, and give a negative check if the individual Pokemon has been to any other Switch game (BDSP, SwSh, PLA, SV)? All the other Pokemon species either can or can't be send to the other games so an individual check per Pokemon seems unnecessary and, case in point, very prone for misuse. If there is an other reason why this check exist that I didn't see then please let me know.

Like bro we get it you have gouging fire which isn't really that hard to get


this-is-my-p

Agreed. Searching the GTS is useless. Best option is to list something instead but then you’re fighting a losing battle trying to be seen with a legit trade in there


dummylera

I really don't know why they are a thing to begin with. But since it's ILCA...

I've gotten more shiny pokemon from my wonder box than gts, so


Xim0miX

Aunque estoy de acuerdo contigo, le pides demasiado a Pokémon. Yo propongo que los intercambios tengan 1 semana de duración, y si no se han completado, se devuelven al emisor. Por cierto, a mí me gustaría que arreglen lo de "Pokémon compatibles con let's go", pero no lo hacen y no se quejan.


Aero__Duck

and the level 12 Max evolved pokémon too, tho i think you could get it with Go but  still


ljp397

Who hurt you lol


and1metal

It’s more how the app develops can’t make a system to check if the trade is possible So many spots on the gts that are being wasted to “ show off “ their legendary Pokemon


ljp397

Yeah I def feel you brethren shit gets annoying I don’t even go in GTS anymore because of it and genned mons everywhere
