No problem   Thanks for the frog.

I wish I didn't have to play Pokermans on emulator.

[Greiger]

I feel your pain.  I actually played my first pokemon game on an emulator.  Fire Red.  Loved it and got addicted.

I also have a box full of feebas, treecko, Rhyhorn and deerling(autumn). Half a box of zoura, and charmander, and 5 gale wings fletchling.  I feel kinda bad releasing them.  But it's too hard to coordinate this kinda stuff through forums because I won't always be watching the thread.

Anybody know of any places designed for this kind of trading with random folks?

You're kidding, right?

In case you're not, there's wonder trade.

[BuriBuriZaemon]

Reddit Pokemon Giveaway. :p

[Greiger]

....I did kinda forget that wonder trade existed...

[RekkaAtsuma]

Ah people tend to forget most people just put junk crap trade pokemon into wondertrade
Breeding rejects aren't always junk-pokemon, they often have ideal IVs in the ideal stats: Ie You'd call a Riolu with 31 in atk spatk and Speed a breeding reject because it's hp def and spdef IVs are like 5. but to someone like me who doesnt care about IVs - that's not junk in any way.

It'd be a bonus to at least get soemthing for these eggs you put time into hatching.

I'd say try serebii but the mods there will likely just haggle you into wonder trading.

Problem is, it's an additional time investment to wonder trade your breeding rejects, only to receive something you'd just release anyway. Might as well just release the reject and save yourself the effort.

Rejects definitely aren't that bad of pokemon though. There's probably a colony of a thousand 5 IV eevees living behind the Kiloude pokemon center in my game, all of whom would have better stats than the Espeon I took through the game with me.

I disagree. There have been a number of instances when I received good trades in return. Granted, it didn't happen often, but it did pay off to me. In my case, I received Pokemons with desirable egg moves and Pokebank 'mons when the service was still shut down by Nintendo.

Also, with Pokebank re-released, try getting a 6IV Ditto. I nearly bought one on eBay for $20 (this was before Pokebank got relaunched, so cloning-aside, these things were in limited supply) but someone was kind enough to give one away to me. I know $20 for pixels is a lot of money, but for me personally, the time saved more than makes up the price. The freed up time I can use to earn more money instead of playing Bike Simulator 2014.

So, I picked up the bank. Stuck that event Torchic which I will probably never use in the box. Please refresh my memory on how to get the Celebi which lists me as OT :/

[Thexor]

Visit the Bank, and you'll get 10 BP for free. Close the Back, and visit X/Y to receive your BP. Then go back to the Bank, and repeat the previous steps again. This time, instead of getting a useless 10 BP, you get a Celebi.

If you've already deposited Torchic, you've probably got the 10 BP. Just go back again to get Celebi. 

[Sirus]

Wait, you were supposed to get BP?

DAMMIT! I think I took the pokemiles instead D:

[Thexor]

Eh, whatever. They're both totally useless. You get BP in abundance from the Battle Maison(?), and Poke Miles from random Wonder Trades. Of them, I consider BP slightly more useful (some neat items, like Ability Capsules). However, the Bank gave 10 BP or 100 (?) Pokemiles. The former doesn't buy much (and is only ~5 fights worth), the latter gets you a Heart Scale or half a Max Revive.

Only reason to get either reward is because you have to before Celebi becomes available.

edit: woah I may have responded to an argument from a long ass time ago

[Tawa]

Anyone got a toge-something? The morons on the GTS all want, like Gen III legendaries.
