I got ripped off...

[wraith89]

That girl in Snowpoint City wanted my Medicham for a Haunter... so I was like yay! This Haunter will become a Gengar... afraid not.

Guess what? That Haunter was holding an Everstone! And she goes, teehee, whoops, it's carrying an Everstone! RAWR!! I want a Gengar

[Fallen]

That's messed up. I hate when they plan stuff like that in the game..

[wraith89]

I remember in Yellow you could get a Machamp by trading a Cubone to that kid in the entrance at the Underground Path at Route 5. But now that things hold items... that's smart @_@

:p:p

same thing happened to me

BTW, is it normal for everyone who made that trade with that cute little girl?

[wraith89]

Yeah, that girl just wants her Medicham... while you get a Haunter you could get almost anywhere in this game.

I have a Timid Haunter with 31 speed IVs that I'm definitely training for competitive battle... but not from this girl. She gave me one with Gentle nature... which is not a good nature for anything. The two natures you want to avoid are Gentle and Lax.

[Fallen]

Just like them. They stiff you on getting a Gengar and then you get a bad nature.

[wraith89]

I'm going to check what the Haunter's IVs are. But at any rate people... if you don't need an Everstone or an extra Haunter or like your Medicham, DO NOT trade your Medicham for Haunter.

But an Everstone is useful for breeding.

[wraith89]

But an Everstone is useful for breeding.

I guess that's her only merit... or else I'd spend countless hours trying to catch a Geodude with an Everstone...

[Fallen]

It's pointless for a Haunter to have one though. Oh well, if you want a Gengar I'll trade with you.

We also have a Trade Evolution thread in the Wi-Fi trading forum.[/ends pimping his thread]

(it's also useful because it explains a game mechanic).

[wraith89]

That would be sweet... until my Wifi begins working. Funny thing is, you can dongle Gengar in Old Chateau.

I need a lot of Pokemon that need to evolve via trading, but I need to get my Wifi working first (can't wait to play Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon online too )

But still, did that girl really have to put Haunter? If it were something else like a Glalie or something, I wouldn't mind, but a Haunter to rub it in the person's face to say "ha ha you ALMOST got Gengar but you didn't!" @_@

I know. And especially after the trade. It's like a slap to the face doing stuff like that.

lol

He can just put it on GTS and take it off again

[Fallen]

Or that, smarty pants.

[wraith89]

If my Wifi was working I would. So basically I dump in something for something inaccessible? All right, if I get it to work... (Graveler for Arceus )

[Fallen]

Sounds like a good trade to me. Golem rules!

[wraith89]

Er... please don't take away my Graveler

*secretly stashes my Graveler in an obscure place*

[Fallen]

That's mighty big and heavy Pokémon to be hiding in an obscure place don't you think.

[wraith89]

Er... oh, heh heh

*your eyes immediately stare at empoleonmikel's shiny Geodude*

So how does that GTS glitch work? I thought they fixed it in Platinum or something...

[damio]

Or that, smarty pants.

TBH I learnt that from Greencat

[Fallen]

So then it is he I should compliment on the smarty pants remark then.

[empoleonmikel]

:D:D

how about trading my golden guy to a golem??? (this is not an obvious rip off attempt... shhh)
