    Wonder Trade is wonderful. Though I keep getting Oddish.

    Basically, you choose a pokemon, then you're randomly matched up with someone else in the world who's also doing wonder trade, and you trade. You could get something awesome, you could get something super lame.

    And if you get something super lame, you can always turn it right around and try for something else.

    Plus, if you wanna go for Pokedex completion, even a shitty trade is one more pokemon you didn't have to go out and find/catch. You can get version exclusives, too.

    So basically you put a Pokemon in a box, someone else puts a Pokemon in a box. You trade boxes then both open the boxes.

    You could be an awesome person and send out awesome Pokemon to make other people happy or you can be a bit of a twit and send out a bunch of level 3 Pidgeys.

    First trade I made got me a Lapras (for an Onix), so I'm OK with it.

    That's a huge upgrade. Onix sux. Lapras is pretty sweet.

    Is there any reason not to spam Magikarps out into this thing?

    It's boring as fuck to catch all those Magikarps. Better to just go through the game normally. Catch any new pokemon you see. Then, if you don't plan on ever using that Pokemon just trade it instead of keeping it in Bill's PC.

    That's basically my approach. I just send out any Pokemon I'm pretty sure I won't use but that I know other people might like, and see what I get back. I think one of the best ones I've gotten in return so far has been a Boldore from a German player, which immediately evolved into a Gigalith upon trade. Now I actually use that Gigalith on my team sometimes as an emergency tank. Thanks, random German dude. You did someone a solid.

    I don't mind getting shitty pokemon if people have given them funny nicknames. Or foreign names! Have a lot of Japanese pokes now.

    I'm sure the Japanese people love your English pokes as well.

    I love that when you get a trade from a game in another language, it marks the Pokemon with the language in question on its summary page and also gives you the foreign langauge Pokedex entry in addition to the regular one. I've got the German entries for a few Pokemon now, a couple Japanese, and a Spanish one. You can search the Pokedex by language and it'll highlight Pokes in the language you're looking for.

    Edit: Also I'm always sure to give the Pokes I trade away funny nicknames.

    I Named a Pancham "Genma" and sent him out via Wonder Trade.
  • ErynEryn
    Perfect.

    My daughter got pokerus in her game but she is demanding my shiny Nosepass in exchange for an infected Pokemon.

    I will trade my firstborn child to her for the pokerus. That is until we can trade between Black/White 2 and X/Y.

    Edit: I have a cryogenic box of pokemon with the pokerus in Black 2.

    Is pokerus even as useful now that we have the EV training mini games?
  • Admiral HotcakesAdmiral Hotcakes
    AFAIK the EVs from Super Training are still affected by the pokerus.
  • ProfPanglossProfPangloss
    But since there's a max on how high your EVs can get anyway, it only expedites the (already vastly improved/sped up) process.

    We have come a long way from secret base spamming in Ruby/Sapphire.

    I just battled a guy in Austria and traded with two Japanese. Damn this game is awesome.

    Not good enough. You've just incentivized me all the more to get this puzz....errr game. I shall make tens of wonder traders world wide mumble, "Fuck! Another Magikarp!"

  • Jack DraigoJack Draigo
    This may be too close to "good guy" territory but what about Magikarps that are one level away from evolving?

    Holy shit does the story get dark.

    Fuck the PokeDex, Wolfram|Alpha has all the Pokemon data you need.

    Forgot to say, but named almost all the mons I planned to keep in my main party after Prince of Nothing characters. I have Achamian the Delphox, Cnaiur the Venusaur, Esmenet the Gardevoir, Serwe the Vivillon, and Ikurei the Aurorus, plus a couple Pokemon waiting in the wings for post-game (Conphas the Lucario and Kellhus the Vaporeon). The only one who doesn't fit the theme is Goldie, my Swanna, whom I hadn't planned on keeping but got surprisingly attached to.
