With the advent of WiFi trading around the world in Generation IV, it meant that a whole new dimension was added to trading. They also added in a little globe which showed you all the places the people had come from that you had traded with. In Unova however, they go one step further and add an actual TOWER dedicated to this. It has quite a few floors and everyone is dedicated to a particular country.
So far i've unlocked the U.K., USA, Japan, France, Italy and quite randomly Afghanistan. I won't lie and say i'm not going to try and complete the whole list of 136 countries but it's just so tempting. Seems like a nice little challenge that will take some time to complete. Apparently there's something nice awaiting upon unlocking them all... ;D

I don't play my games enough, nor use the GTS, so I never really found it of any interest. Kinda useless for me, hehe x)

I like the idea of it... I'm just probably never going to use it. Still, it's cute that Game Freak thought it up and put it in. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR QUEST, JOEY!

I'm doing really simple trades at the minute and it's not doing too bad so far. It's just a shame there's such an abundance of US and Japanese players. Plus most of the foreign countries i'm trying to obtain want a Level 5 Zekrom or something equally preposterous.

I'm not going to compromise my stance on the use of those things! I'll just have to sigh and move on. Which is a huge shame considering the general slowness of the GTS in general. Not to mention just how many people who live Albania and enjoy a good trade or two on Pokemon. It'll be tough finding another one of them. I really hate that about GTS trades. You should be restricted for actually requesting such impossible Pokemon. Makes it unfair on those who legitimately want to use the system.

I've actually never used the GTS except for whenever there are fan giveaways. I took part in one and discovered you get a free Zorua from using the GTS. That was a nice enough surprise.

What I don't get is why people put up stuff like Level 100 shinies and ask for stuff like 'Reshiram - Level 9 and under'. Like, why have it there in the first place? Is it just gloating? "Haha I have something awesome and you can't!"
Irritates the living shit out of me.

I imagine they're 7 year olds with ARs who have no idea how the GTS works and just want a level 9 Reshiram... Or they're gloating, yes.

I think a HUGE part of it is gloating. That or there's a GTS glitch where you can clone or something. I've never bothered looking into it so I don't have a clue.
One thing I did laugh at was someone had a level 100 Shiny Exeggutor for trade and wanted a level 100 Zebstrika. I had one that I received from GTS that was obviously hacked but I used it to trade for the shiny Exeggutor. ;D It was pretty cool as well because they were from Philippines which was somewhere new for my list.
