The Pokémon Home GTS is Actually AWFUL
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Pokémon Home is the only modern game/app that has a GTS, and you'd expect it to be pretty well-maintained. That's what I thought at least, before I decided to go in and investigate just to see if anything was wrong. I already investigated X/Y and Sun/Moon in the past and knew things could be bad, but I did NOT expect this...

It's so annoying that GTS allows you to ask for impossible mons. And it's dumb that they have an option to include mythicals in the search, but you can't even trade mythicals so like wtf
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?

I think part of Home’s focus on mobile is due to the popularity of Pokémon Go. I get that Home’s use is mainly for console but for them to make the mobile experience with the most features on the same platform as the series’ biggest game, it makes weird sense. Ain’t right tho.
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
so sad that theres so many antisemitic pokemon fans
Back in the days of ORAS I got a shiny gigalith through wonder trade called "Jews did 9 11" 💀
That pokemon is long gone now
This is why we should be allowed to nickname traded pokemon !!!!
Dang I need to make fake pokemon content shorts as if I'm a fan to get y'all views. Y'all eat pokemon up! Pokemon vtuber? I'ma use the hell out this genre on twitch 😂😂TTV B1ACKBMW I use agendas I don't care about to help me grow!!LETS GOO LBQTB or whatever. BIG PRIDE
It's way better than the previous versions of GTS but the fact you can ask for "Imposible requirements" is one of the biggest issues. There is also this thing where people ask for exclusive "real world regional forms" like Furfrou's from Go.
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
This is bad, but for me my main grips with Home is the fact that you can't trade mythicals and for some reason people are obsessed with Furfru on it.
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 -_-
@@CJXalax 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

Me: It's spoofing time
While I completely agree these seriously offensive names are not acceptable, credit where credit is due, "Hentei" got me 🤣
I honestly think they should just let you rename pokemon if your not the OT
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
What I hate the most about this GTS is the fact that you have to turn off Home mobile, transfer from the games, turn off home switch, open home mobile, refind the trade, do the trade if you didnt already have the mon in home
The only issues i knew prior to this video was that for some reason people were allowed to ask for an Alolan Golem, but ask to make it transferable to BDSP. That is literally impossible to move into BDSP via Pokemon HOME, and I'm was having issues finding someone to touch trade for Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt online so the GTS having essentially nothing that allowed me to actually temp obtain one (even if it wasn't a legitimate one) for the dex really sucked
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
Another issue is that ppl will ask for furfrous at 91-100 lv
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.
the split is probably done to prevent people from jailbreaking the switch and injecting mons via GTS spoofing
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
Btw, Home does have a punishment and filter system already, but there's always going to be a few names that get through those no matter how strict it is.
It's mostly stuff that it spelt wrong or with different characters.
I didn’t even know there was a punishment system, if it even exists. I traded various Pokemon with offensive names just to test it, and I got nothing.
Not herpes the Necrozma. Reminds me of my first Deoxys I named space aids.
Here's a solution to the gts problem. Don't do nicknames. Like, when someone puts a pokemon up for trade, the gts should just automatically remove any nickname it has. We sort of already have this in swsh and sv with the ability to change nicknames of pokemon that are traded to you. Just do the same sort of thing for the gts.
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.
Personally I'm of the opinion that the GTS should strip all nicknames and place a flag on anything traded that the nicknames can be changed once received by the new trainer. It's beyond frustrating that TPCi does very little to stop these disgusting nicknames. And I know that a system like that could be put into place - I uploaded my main team Weavile I had nicknamed "Violette" (a play on the word "violet" and using "ette" as a feminine name ending) yet when it was sent from Bank to Home the nickname was removed for being inappropriate. The game had placed some sort of flag though indicating it could be renamed once put into another game from Home, so I went ahead and did so.
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
I hate how i want to make a trade with a common pokemon like a riolu and they want a Furfrou from a region thats far
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
I just got Pokemon Home recently to transfer my Pokemon from Bank. Upon my first time using the GTS, I found an issue where people were asking for Furfrou.
Now that may not sound bad, I have many Furfrous from my copy of X & Y. Except the people on the GTS were asking for specific forms of Furfou.
This is an issue because Furfrou defaults to its original form when you transfer it to Pokemon Bank. So what's the big deal?
Apparently, Furfrou retains its form when transferred from Pokemon Go to Home, and some forms are only available in SPECIFIC PARTS OF THE WORLD.
And because these forms are only obtainable through Pokemon Go at the moment, the GTS is filled with desirable Pokemon asking for Furfrou forms that are near IMPOSSIBLE to obtain.
Have fun trying to complete a living dex, it's a literal nightmare!
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.
Pokémon home has always had a long running problem where people try to trade impossible Pokémon, for example the lv 10 alolan golem, but the most common one is pharaoh style furfuro at level 100, the only way to get pharaoh style furfuro is though go, go can’t make level 100 Pokémon.
When bloodmoon ursaluna was released, there was a bug where it couldn’t be traded because both forms was registered at the time.
So yeah, a lot of problems
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
So I traded for the "6MilJewsWE" Gouging Fire and had the "IH8(Black lives matter)" Ursaluna before. The Gouging Fire has Shiny Dens OT while Ursaluna has Berichan's OT. Both are respected members in the Pokemon community. My guess is that the mons are made by trolls to smear their image.
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
Home’s GTS is full of people asking for f**king La Reine and Pharoah Trim Furfrous and Three Segmented Dudunsparce
Bukake means "multiple people pouring milk all over your face"
Not normal milk, thou...
I had a GTS trade with my tepig for a Raging Bolt, but the name was so... edgy that I had to release it, plus the OT name was from a hacked website. If anyone was curious what the name was... let's say an angry artist from 1940s... I hope they fixed the GTS issue
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
the GTS is why i hate furfrou
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 :/
An issue I've seen in the gts is Pharoh Furfrou EVERYWHERE
Lack of nickname monitoring is definitely a problem, but in general trading on the GTS is completely useless for veteran players. Everyone always wants whatever the rarest Pokémon is. It is nearly impossible to trade up. Violet players just got screwed over, because Gouging Fire only trades for Gouging Fire, and Raging Bolt only trades for itself of Gouging Fire. This is more of Scarlet and Violet’s fault for making the version exclusives so unbalanced, because Scarlet got the better ones for the most part. Anyway, you can’t safely deposit your own legendary either, since you will almost certainly get a hacked Pokémon, and you are forced to either take a loss or contribute to the problem. Any non-legendaries or other one-time Pokémon, and any pre-switch era Pokémon is usually safe, so it is still useful for filling in the Pokédex or getting older legendaries they might want, although I think they might still have trouble with getting Pokémon Go legendaries to transfer in. I felt like I was able to really take advantage of the GTS up until SWSH Crown Tundra, then it just became a mess.
the alolan forms in BDSP i annoying because i could get golem at that level using pokemon go but the BDSP requirement makes it impossible.
What you covered in this video is unfortunatlty the tip of the iceberg. As someone searchinf frequently pokemon on the gts, I am often come across people asking for trade that are literraly impossible like the alolan golem you saw. The thing is you probably didn't saw much of this for a simple reason, unlike the old GTS, not all available pokemon are displayed, only a limited number ; you can figure this out by using the different filter, which will let you access some pokemon that you can't see on a basic search. Add the limited search issue, the impossible asks, the offensive nicknames, and the plenty cloned and gened pokemon and sometimes even illegal pokemon (shiny locked or impossible level) that are being deposited and not moderated, and you have a really awful trade system. At least you can't crash on this gts, like you can on 3ds I guess.
I can't nickname my Rillaboom Bongo or my Duraladon Skyscaper but these morons can name their Pokemon much worse, got it. Thanks Nintendo for being so consistent and keeping us safe from the TRULY bad names.
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

@@johnszymanski247wha-
Everybody wants a damn Pharaoh Trim Furfrou which can only be obtained in Egypt while playing Pokémon go
maybe he meant people who nag and just typo'd
Wait you said the Htlr raging bolt was caught in.. Violet??
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.
I mean I got an Iron Crown for a Gholdengo over new years, that seemed like a good trade!
I hate the furfrous I see. Its dumb 😂
Do you have any legendaries to trade. I need to complete pokedex
As a Jewish person I'm glad I never had the chance to use the GTS system
I would willingly trade for a raging bolt named throat goat
Okay, but they’re only gonna want a Gouging Fire, in which case you can just catch your own Raging Bolt and name it that.
I know somebody who went to one of the "Websites" a pokemon was nicknamed and it ended up being some sort of hijacker that stole his discord account.
I use the gts to farm shinys for extra legendarys/starters in special balls ive mass breeded. In one month i have over 200 shinys and id say less then 20% of them are genned/hacked.
I am hesitatnt about some of the non english ones cuz u cant tell if the names are offensive or not so i usually just look up the poke names in that lamguage and if the characters match up i onow its all good.
*laughs in PKHEX*
i'll never understand why people feel the need to do this, like mate..just play pokemon ..y'know??
I have sent in multiple complaints. They need to either make Pokémon names changeable or they need to delete Pokémon/Ban Pokémon with these hate speech names.
never knew homes gts was that bad. i never saw nicknames like those when ive used it in the past.😬
I hadn't either until super recently!
honestly the thing that frustrates me most about home's gts is that it has a really heavy focus on furfrou forms that are really inaccessable for people who dont play go or have lots of sought after pokemon to trade around. aside from that ive never run into any issues really
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 😭😭
@@damlatorun6756yeesssss. Then I could filter out Furfrou, Ursaluna, and Goldengo.
3:35 That one made me laugh harder than i should have 😂😂😂
It’s on mobile because they want people without a Nintendo Online subscription to use it. Stuff like Pokemon Bank is already on a separate server, and you can get online distributions without having NSO, so I imagine they couldn’t negotiate a non-NSO GTS on Switch, so they made it exclusive to mobile.
I wanted giratina for my scarlet version since scarlet is my first Pokémon game so I went to the gts in home and someone wanted kyurem. No problem I had two kyurem in Pokémon go I transferred the weak kyurem to Pokémon home I realised the person wanted a korean kyurem so I traded my English kyurem for a Korean Kyurem for a Korean Giratina the giratina is in my scarlet but I don`t like how people want a certain language
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.
Man when I was a kid playing these games, my biggest issue was just hacked mons and a lack of compatability checks.
Though if I were the dev, I would implement a funni solution where I add different flags for certain Pokémon and if someone asks for a Pokémon with impossible parameters, then the trade will just set the parameters to default without notifying the player.

@@ScumSookarzased
If the naming issue goes back to the 3ds, its really surprising they still allow pokemon to keep their nicknames when traded.
4:00 Actually this is possible!
In Pokémon GO if you catch an Alolan Geodude around its lowest CP, evolve it once in GO, transfer it into one of the Switch games, and then trade it. Boom you have a Level 1-10 Alolan Golem.
It's not worth it though since having an Alolan Golem at that low of a level is cooler
Edit: Nevermind! I'll keep this here still incase anyone else wants low leveled fully evolved Pokemon
alolan golem can't go into bdsp tho. only regular golem can
I use Pokémon home quite a lot and I’ve never seen names that bad. Have seen a couple Throat GOATs tho. Also disappointed to see the wanting unobtainable pokemon trend coming back. I thought it was kinda weird though that they were using it on a raging bolt. Usually you see them do that on a shiny pokemon to flex since shiny pokemon are rare, not a legendary you can easily get in the game
I went onto GTS to fill out my Pokédex
Decided to just gen the ones I needed after 5 minutes of browsing. Everyone wants impossible Pokémon and the app just lets them request it
Who gives a shit about nicknames
I dont enjoy filling the pokedex, but HOME gts made it so smooth... plus I can keep trading repeated legendaries I caught in other generations for new mons. I like it.
Do you have any legendaries to trade. I need to complete pokedex
Z-A bringing back furfrou is going to be a godsend because of this. i swear, as someone who once didn’t have online, this is hell.
Liked the gts is good if you don’t have another person to do trade evolution or version exclusives but like can they just make where you can’t trade nickname Pokemon that would take out the whole Pokemon with slurs for names
Has there ever been a time when the GTS did not suck? This is the worst mechanic in all of Pokemon.
The more things change the more they stay the same
I wanna clean up the GTS and get some of those offensive ones and release 'em
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.
I wanted a Kingdra, they wanted a Bloodmoon Ursaluna, yeah not happening.
Edit: Swore I typed Kingdra but the first time it autocorrected to Kingler?
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.
Well I'd use a tablet too, but that would mean I have to buy one. Home seems better on a tablet. Just because bigger screen.
Trying to trade for Raging Bolt and Gouging Fire is a nightmare. I got a guy named “Blaines” who names them all “HtlrwasRight”. Sick to death of mods at this point.
Ugh hope it isn’t the actual Blaine
It someone else naming them that. Blaines giveaway those mons without the nicknames.
They should let us be able to report trades either with offensive names, impossible to obtain pokemon+ball+game combinations, and impossible trade requests
Agreed
I checked and the only one I saw was that Cherish Ball Raging Bolt. The other ones from the DLCs can't be found at the moment
You should try trading a whole box.. you'll for sure get 2 or even more pokemon from surprise trade that are genned Pokemon from a site that makes the nickname their weblink =_= I have noticed because I been Matsuda Methode breeding and giving away the Mon's that are good enough... and man.. the amount of shiny legends i get with a website link nickname is frustrating
...at least Hentei was funny. The other ones were just sad.
I'm genuinely surprised Gamefreak doesn't make it so Pokemon that go on the GTS don't have a nickname or deletes their nickname and just renames it to whatever the region name is meant to be. It can't be that hard to check for a nicknamed flag, they already had an overly strict one for older Pokemon games where you couldn't trade Bulbasaur or Nosepass because their names contained words on the list they have even without nicknames... to this. It seems like it would be a better idea and I'm kinda shocked they haven't done that.
I rember looking for some basic ass pokemon and there weren't any
It's getting ridiculous. I saw some disgusting names on Gouging Fire.
A lot of kids just aren't going to have a switch and a phone or tablet. Everything needs to be one one machine.
There is a reason they changed Chatot/Chatter...
herpes necrozma was kinda funny tbf
The name situation is pretty messed up, I'm sure it's probably just people doing it as a joke for attention or if it's done through surprise trade then the ones who get the pokemon feel ashamed of having it and wanna trade it away. Definitely been an issue since XY.
The pokemon requested in return as also always been an issue and it's why i believe there needs to be restrictions, make it so the pokemon can only be set to the lowest possible level that a pokemon game allows rather than everyone wanting a lv1 all the time and remove the ability for form exclusive trades (looking at you people who want specific Furfrou fur patterns because Home removes the fur pattern)
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.
At least it's still functional
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
The name thing seems to be starting up again. It had died down recently but it was bad in Sw/Sh. At least you could rename a trade pokemon.
The worst thing for me is the impossible trades, they just take up space and waste time.
Yeah they should be able to filter forms + games it can travel to simultaneously. I understood back in the day with underleveled Pokémon how it was impossible to track every case where they were obtainable, but impossible form/game combinations should be obvious.
2:52 just a french name nothing wrong here
I'm pretty sure bukak3 means something different on Japanese and not like on English. Just like how fa* it's different somewhere else.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
The main reason that you're locking the GTS and such behind an app, is because of you paying for the app. They made a problem, and solve it with a subscription. It's silly
There's still one GTS slot for free, paid is 3 at once.
Okay but throat GOAT is hilarious
The original idea for not changing nicknames, from what I heard, came from the idea that a nickname given to a Pokemon is special and shouldn't be changed due to that. However, it's become painfully obvious this block is just being used for exploiting and permanently tainting a Pokemon now a days. The GTS just needs to wipe a nickname when its sent into be traded and let users rename the Pokemon.
Maybe pokemon should take away that nickname function....
GTS: home to some of the funniest 13yo and man babies in the community 😐
I mean....yea its a pokemon homie its for kids and adult children not to mention it has a massive fanbase so yea gamer words are gonna happen. its kinda wild that goofy names are the big issue here and not the hacked mons being sent through wonder trade that can lock you out of home or banned outright if you have them when a check happens.
2:53 Faquette seems like a normal french name to me. I know some people who's last name is Faquette.
when i was a little kid, i got wonder traded a shiny level 100 aipom whos nickname was a url for a website
since i was a stupid kid i somehow didnt realize it was a url and just. was happy i got a shiny lol-
That one Raging Bolt: *Exists*
Literally 1945 😭😭😭
This video is actually pretty funny to me since I got a random shiny, lvl 100, NOT HACKED sylveon from someone in pokemon home randomly. Great video though
Don't worry bukake is just a type of cake
I actually have had some success with the GTS on Home.
The trick is Shiny or Legendary Pokémon you don’t want. I threw a Kubfu I caught solely to prove a point in and quickly got a Chinese-T Raging Bolt. Oddly in the Ball I wanted.
Also, the Game mark doesn’t actually denote legitimacy, it’s just the last game the Pokémon was in. So I could transfer a, say, Eevee from Gen 6, throw it into Home, and send it to Violet, and when I bring it out of Violet it’ll say it’s from Violet.
Thanks for clearing that up!
Look out for Raymond the Rayquaza, a very dangerous hacked mon.
6:59 i remember back in oras my brother named his entei that in pkm showdown i asked what it meant i was 8 he said oh don.t worry about it
Iron Di*do is the paradox form of Till Lindemann.
I never even bother searching on the Home GTS. I always just make trade requests, and as long as they're reasonable someone will trade me pretty quickly.
The hackmon is surprising. Especially given the recent updates to their legality checkers.
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
The easiest change would simply be to scrub the nickname of the Pokemon when put on the GTS. You would still need to worry about OT names but it wouldn't be anywhere near as bad. Just have the Pokemon name revert back to it's default name in whatever language the Pokemon is in.
There really should be an option to report impossible to fulfil trades though, or at the very least be able to give a thumbs up/thumbs down to the trade based on if you perceive it as a good or bad offer.
Yeah home is awful with gts. Remember getting a shiny zygarde through wonder trade. Had best IVs all around and pokerus. Knew it had to be fake so sent it back in.
We call that recycling!
I also have a rayquaza named Raymond 😅
3:43 don’t goggle search!
How is Furienblitz "inappropriate"? That's literally Raging Bolt's German name.
I guess is hard to find none offensive german names.
Tbh its soo stupid that its only on mobil
How some of these people have Raging Bolt caught in Violet?
Is there a way to catch it in Violet because as far as I know you can only catch it in Scarlet?
I think it just means Violet was the last game it’s been in. Most of them are hacked though.
It’s definitely getting worse and worse recently
I love giving human names to my Pokémon… Raymond for a rayquaza looks nice 😅
Mine is Raymundo! I also have a Kyogre named Kyle, Elmer the Entei, Sydney the Suicune, Candice the Cresselia, and several others
The GTS is never not gonna be awful lol.
I mean it was better a couple years ago. Not good, but better. 3DS during its time was good if you knew what you were doing.
