The Pokémon Home GTS is Actually AWFUL 

There are 2 ways to trade mythicals (but why would you even do so?). 1 is to just trade the ones from Pokemon Go and 2 is to trade the ones you caught yourself (like swsh keldeo and sv meloetta). You can't trade event distribution ones.

Fr. But when you want a genuine special pokemon the GTS is like nah u can't

​@@Etraleyou can't trade those either

@@babycarl9585wdym you can’t trade mythicals?

Fr

There actually *is* a checker for impossible requirements... But it's super basic and, as can be seen, lets a lot of blatant things it should catch through.

“I want Galarian wheezing in brilliant diamond” seems like the kind of basic check they could build since they know the legality of every mon in every game already!

“Oh so you want this shiny reshiram (biggest flex ever frfr) Then gimme a german hisuian electrode that can be put in let’s go”

we often use furfrou as a sort of trade token. Its much easier to offer my shiny for a pharoh furfrou, and then find someone with the pokemon I want who is asking for a pharoh furfrou, than it is to try and go on some message board and look for a single individual who has the pokemon I want and wants the pokemon I have. thus will all change once we can get furfrou forms in a mainline game again, since people will then just spoof in "legal" mons and trade them as if they were legit

​@@damlatorun6756 That's the best. It's only used to flex haha

Oh let me guess, everything you search wants a Pharaoh Trim? Or have you been enraged by the Vivillon and other next-to-impossible to obtain mons that people **always** request -_-

@@CovertChristo Former. It's so annoying, because I'm not about to replay my least favorite gen just for a poodles hair cut! And I still don't know why mythical can't be traded.

@@justsomeguy7077 you cant even do that. you can of course get a furfrou trim in gen 6/7, but the trim will be gone by the time its in your pc (gen 6) or by the time its in bank (gen 7) and itll just be normal form by the time its in home. the only way to get furfrou trims in home is thru go, which is a whole other can of worms. not only do you need to find a furfrou in the first place which is rng, but you need to trim it after that which costs furfrou candy which also sucks to get-- AND a bunch of the trims are region-locked or event-locked. for example, pharaoh trim is only in the middle east, and heart trim is only on valentines day

@@orangeaurora 😐

​@@justsomeguy7077 Me: It's spoofing time

Also it’s on mobile for convenience it takes like five seconds to do

@@madnessarcade7447 inconvenience* you pay for home prem on switch just to use it on phone? thats backwards, and you cant be in switch and mobile at the same time. the only pokemon game on the mobile is GO, everything else is on switch. if youre playing pokemon and need something from any of the trade systems it should be accessible from switch version. theres no reason it should be exclusive to mobile version. i do like that i can check my trades anywhere at anytime, but i shouldnt need to get my phone if im already on my switch, which was logged in but now i have to close that so i can open the mobile app, then reopen the switch version after. its unnecessary.

Oh, yes! For me it's been a lot easier on Mobile, but they should really put it on both for everyone's convenience... like Kiran wouldn't be able to use the mobile app...@@madnessarcade7447

Same thing happend to me!

Same. It is very annoying that I can't do trades cause of impossible requests

@@samuelunknown1940 now that I think about it, there's always been "asking for a level 1-10 legendary Pokemon" asks, but because of Pokemon GO those are actually possible now. So people trying to annoy people looking for trades now have a new way to piss us off... Man that sucks

@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafanif you haven’t found someone to touch trade with for the dex I can help you out since I’ve completed mine with those 2 paradoxes

@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan yea. It sucks that such a good system was ruined by people

This is why I knew enough to build and complete my Living Dex back in Pokemon Bank and transferred it into HOME. I will continue to maintain it as games are added, but I'm not going through THAT nightmare again.

Pretty sure furfrou transferred from USUM maintains its form

Yup, people will ask for Furfrou with a Pharaoh Trim, which is only obtainable if you play Pokemon Go in Egypt.

To bad you still can

Dawg, do you know how easy it is to mod a Switch? Hacking in Pokémon Home sees as "legitimate" isn't hard, just like modding a Switch.

​@ScumSookar brother its honestly not that easy currently unless you have a gen 1 switch where you can soft mod and those switches are less than 1% of all switches

@@Athena6 it really is that easy, sure, a first production model switch is the easiest as you can just RCM it out of the gate, but all other switch models can have hardware mods soldered onto them to enable the same payload injection.

@jormungand72 it's easy if you understand soldering already yeah but labeling it as 'super easy' makes it sound like the 3ds where it's essentially drag and drop

It's mostly stuff that it spelt wrong or with different characters.

Yep

BuT tHe NicKnaMe wAs SpeCial To thE OT

It is past time for this option to be added. I don't give a flip what the OT's name is. But if that pokemon has a nickname that's advertising a damn website, I have to release them because they're not legit. Hell, they could BE legitimately caught, but if the nickname is an advertisement, it's not worth the risk. The GTS is sooo bad. Like... I go into the option for finding people who are looking for pokemon that I have, and damn near every time I want to offer up one of my pokemon, selected by their system as being wanted, they say "no one wants that pokemon". If no one wanted it, then why was it selected in that option? The ONLY time that's not the case is if I decide to see who's asking for one of my Legendaries. *sigh* And most of those aren't offering anything that's *worth* giving up a Legendary. People need to get lessons in relative value of Pokemon or something.

Maybe certain Pokémon could get a value score exclusive to the GTS that makes it so they can only be requested for If the Pokémon offered is equivalent to that status. For example Dialga could be offered in exchange for any box Art legend or lower in rarity. But somebody offering Bidoof would be bared from requesting Dialga

I agree fully. I have a glaceon that I nicknamed and now I wish I could change it. Mainly because I don't like what it translates to

And to prove my point, NOT EVEN AN HOUR LATER do we have 2 anti-jewish raging bolts and a hard r gouging fire. Like, wut?

We can change nicknames of traded mons now????

Yep. It's been a thing for a while.

To be clear, what's different now starting from Sword/Shield is that you are allowed to nickname a traded Pokemon if it has its default species name (in other words, if it's un-nicknamed). If it was already nicknamed, there's still no changing it. Once you do nickname it though, it becomes nicknamed (duh), meaning it then becomes unchangeable unless it's traded back to its OT. So you essentially have just that one opportunity to give it a nickname. I do agree that trades on GTS and probably Wonder Trade or similar systems should wipe nicknames though. It's just too ripe for abuse. Kids play this shit. Also don't really understand why we aren't allowed to erase nicknames of traded mons in the first place. I imagine most cases of people trading offensively-named stuff on the GTS are actually cases of people receiving offensively-named stuff, not wanting the offensive name, and trying to trade it off to someone else for an inoffensively-named copy. I noticed how a lot of those inappropriately-named Gouging Fires were requesting another Gouging Fire in return, and I don't really see why else people would request a trade like that.

​@@DrawciaGleam02No. You can only give a nickname to a traded pokemon one time... *Only if it lacks a nickname.* And just in SwSh and SV iirc.

thats not how it worked. it simply un-nicknamed your pokemon. in the newer games, if a traded pokemon has no nickname, youre allowed to give it a nickname once. thats not to say that youre wrong overall, just that that flag system doesnt exist

@@orangeaurora Thank you for the clarification.

I give away a lot of baby Pokemon on the GTS, and originally, I named them cute names until I realized that if I left on the default names their new trainer could name them themselves. I'm sorry about what happened to Violette. If you haven't already, maybe if you put it In Sword & Shield or Scarlet & Violet you will be able to change its name back to something similar as all the nameless Pokemon I send from my 3DS, DS and even Gameboy Advance still can have their names changed in Scarlet. So maybe if you try that, it will work, given she technically has no name. Sorry If I wasted your time just wanted to mention it.

I tried to name an Espeon Violetta in Y once but wondered why it wouldn't let me until I erased it up to 'Vio'. Years later I found out that was due to the french translation of r*pe

That's really sad; I tried to name a Pokemon that once when I was young as well, but I didn't know until now. It's a shame such a pretty name in english is such a scary word in another language.@@giratina6665

Isn't it *technically* still possible to give Furfuro the pharaoh cut in one of the 3DS games, transfer it to bank and then to home? At least until April that is.

People also love asking for female bloodmoon ursaluna now too. Not sure why things like that are even allowed to be selected.

​@@vermillion6159pokemon bank isn't shutting down in april

⁠​⁠​⁠@@vermillion6159once you transfer a furfrou from the 3DS to Home it returns to its normal form.

Yeah I took that opportunity to trade my pharaoh style furfrou for bloodmoon ursaluna, where I got my pharaoh cut by spoofing to Egypt

Did you get a tepig egg before releasing the edgy tepig?

​@@iatebambi I think you got it mixed up. They were trading the Tepig for Raging Bolt, and the Raging Bolt had the bad nickname. I just assume it was the one shown in the video.

@@vermillion6159 yes you are correct

@@vermillion6159 oh thanks

I may be wrong but i think you can change the Name of traded pokemon in scarlet and violet now

If it's natural forme, that's possible. But if it's another forme, they can't level that high in Pokemon Go which is the only way to get the formes in home, making them impossible.

That's not the worst part... the worst part is that specific trims are REAL LIFE based locations and must use pokemon go to get them. All because you can't get those trims in Gen 6/7, transfer to bank then transfer to home to keep. Only from pokemon go to home they are kept

@@nobody-xh6ii dont get me started to how many ppl want Reine de Trim and the Pharoah trim

put something up you have 3 slots dont make trades in reverse 😅

What makes the furfrou issue worse is that they're requesting level 100 ones, and the only way to get trimmed furfrou into home is through go, where pokemon can be level 50 max, which means that until legends z-a those trades are likely impossible

It’s probably because Bongo has the name Bong in it I only know this because I got two shiny Bronzong in Arceus and named them Bing and B0ng. And Skyscraper has KYS inside of it, kinda stupid but like I get what they’re trying to do.

I know but they got away with Cofagrigus so they can't complain about my names. Besides, you'd think the AI would know that a bongo is a drum or skyscrapers exist. It's just annoying hypocrisy.@@weirdreapr

I can look at dead dogs on the Wii U web browser

​​@@weirdreaprWhat's makes Bong offensive?

@@johnszymanski247wha-

the hacked raid den dude is highly repected?

Well not exactly highly for shiny den, but they are still somewhat respected.

Update: Got another Gouging fire with that name but OT is DumMario.

Well tbh people should hate a group that peomptes Marxism and wants to destroy traditional families but regardless they need to fix the filter

That’s the BLM thing I meant. I agree it’s likely a smear campaign. Those OTs are obviously hacked anyway

YWNBAW

Not normal milk, thou...

They should straight up remove the “game you want to move it to” option because of kids flexing their hacked shiny legendaries Also we need a “pokemon not requested” option that eliminates all trades that are requesting whatever pokemon you set the option to (if you set it to furfrou-kabuki, trades that are requesting furfrou-kabuki will not show)

@@damlatorun6756 that would make my life so much easier if i could just sort out all the furfrou trades 😭😭

I mean, there's a valid reason for wanting multiple region Pokemon: 1: it tracks for each species which languages you have it in. So there's that, probably not something almost anyone cares about tho unless... 2: it's a Ditto because Masuda Method But specifically legendary Pokemon? Only reason I could see if they wanted to make sure it wasn't named inappropriately, which shouldn't even be a problem in the first place. Infact why can't we nickname Pokemon that are already nicknamed? Feels dumb tbh nowadays

Makes sense. @@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan

*laughs in PKHEX*

Honestly not being to nickname if you aren't the OT was always dumb.@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan

Either that or Scarcity of other languaged mons. God the GTS is greedy.

Ugh hope it isn’t the actual Blaine

It someone else naming them that. Blaines giveaway those mons without the nicknames.

*laughs in PKHEX*

Thanks for clearing that up!

alolan golem can't go into bdsp tho. only regular golem can

It was probably caught in Scarlet. Just the one who decided to named it like that brought it to Violet, changed its name to Htlr. The one icon showing the game the mons came from only registered the last game it was in. So if a Vivillon was caught in Kalos for example, was brought to Scarlet, then it will be registered as coming from Scarlet. The only way to know where it originated from is to look at its caught location tab, *AFTER* you have succesfully obtained it from the trade.

Mainly because those trims are really life region locked/event locked and can only come from pokemon go...

And the reason why you couldn't even get those trims from X and Y is because it was temporal :/

I hadn't either until super recently!

Yeah, at this point I've just about went over every GTS lol

Problem with level restrictions is a lot of underleveled Pokémon are actually legitimately obtainable though Pokémon GO or randomly though some arbitrary method in an older game, so it’s really hard to try to find the case for every individual Pokémon. Some people actually collect those, so it’s not fair to shut that down because of a few bad apples.

Bukake is from japanese pornorgraphy.

Noble goal issue is people would probably replenish them

I've thought about that, but I don't want to reward the people who are putting them up, y'know?

Yeah true@@Naixatloz

@@Naixatloz There’s too many, not feasible unless you hack, in which case you are not rewarding them. Like Raging Bolt and Gouging Fire are already the most valuable things on the GTS, trading them anything else is not a reward.

Furfrou trims are possible though. It’s just hard to get because it’s Go exclusive

I feel like you can deposit any trade with item Pokémon from raids to trade for Kingdra (you can also just get Kingdra from raids). Deposit goes a long way, decent trades get picked up quickly, so that’s why you rarely see them.

I feel like setting strict interactions like that is not a good thing. You can always deposit a Pokémon, and unless it’s a Switch era Legendary, you can probably get a legit equivalent Pokémon no problem. The good trades will just be scooped up quickly. But if you’re able to play the GTS you can definitely trade up, and I don’t think it’s fair to shut that down if someone’s willing to make the trade.

@@Pandacalifornia I guess, it's just that, some time back I was looking to get an Alolan Golam for Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, and people were asking for insane things like legendary Pokemon or fully evolved starters (Charizard at level 17! He doesn't even evolve until 36!!), it just pissed me off.

@@timothymcdermott2818 Another thing is a lot of underleveled Pokémon have been available, mostly through Pokémon Go, but also through other means, and it’s hard to keep track of each one individually. (You can even catch underleveled Charizard natively in Pikachu and Eevee in the post game) Anyway, some people do collect those, so I feel it’s not fair to shut that down either.

I’ve used it multiple times and when I deposit a Pokémon I always get a response back very very quickly It does its job I enjoy it

Stuff always gets through, unfortunately... they are really bad with impossible Pokeball combinations and impossible travel locations, and as long as a Pokémon's stats are legal, it doesn't even know, but that last one, Idk if I can blame Gamefreak for due to how impossible that last one is to detect.

Usually the point of genning is for the mons to be identical to legit ones. Dumb genners cause issues

I don't like hacking in general, but if Genners were exclusively making them identical, the Pokemon world would objectively be a better place. So, ya, I don't really mind legal genners that much. Still wish they wouldn't, as we are supposed to train our Pokemon, that is kind of the job description, but illegal genners are objectively worse and add 100x more gunk to this game. @@ChicagoMel23

It's not because of "your" games being old; they aren't older than anyone else's. It's because of people intentionally loading that particular GTS with mons w/ bad data that causes a crash simply from attempting to load the data, meaning even just scrolling by it in the GTS list will cause your game/system to crash. An earlier video from the guy that posted this one also mentions and outlines this same issue.

@@Philip027 hmm, well, whenever I try to search for certain pokemon on the GTS with UltraSun and UltraMoon, my game freezes and somehow crashes so I have to shut the whole thing done completely, I guess I shouldn't try to use the GTS anymore if that's the case

@@jameswheeler6079 If you have a cracked 3DS (custom firmware), there is a way to get an unofficial patch for the gen 7 games that prevents those crashes from occurring. Unless you have that as an option, I would just stay off the gen 7 GTS. It's about to become unusable at the end of March, anyway. Also slight correction to what I said above; it isn't because of mons being uploaded with bad data; it's because of bad trainer/player data. You will sometimes see this sort of thing in the PSS if you look around at trainer profiles; some will have names with abnormal characters or invalid profile images. The mons themselves (obscenities and potential illegitimacy aside) are probably "fine" and won't necessarily destroy your save if you trade for them, although the trades may also just not go through and may lock you out of the GTS temporarily.

I think it just means Violet was the last game it’s been in. Most of them are hacked though.

Yup. Only on the mobile version

it means the pokemon was created/generated through an unoffical third party program instead of obtained legitimately in an official game

@@bkcinniminies2877ok I imagined correctly
