I'm currently educating myself on the idea of virtual currency, and I'd like to assign a value to the trades I see on the Wonder Trade posts. So I'd like to introduce an idea to you all: for ORAS trades, let's assign Legendaries and rare Pokemon a relative value to a specific Pokemon. Basically making one Pokemon the equivalent of a dollar or euro, and then grading other Pokemon by that scale.

Since I haven't been able to get my hands on a bunch of Pokemon in Gen III, I'll need your help. I'm thinking we should use a level 25 Zigzagoon as the currency. If there is a Pokemon that makes more sense to use (again, haven't gotten very far in Gen III but I also want to make sure this Pokemon is available in both games and available near the start) then by all means, say so.

All "Z's" are level 25 Zigzagoons, and all Legendaries that are required to obtain in order to complete the story will be 35 Z's

Groudon/Kyogre - 35 Z's
Rayquaza - 50 Z's
Lati@s - 35 Z's

EDIT: my apologies, I accidentally hit Submit thread. Either way, I'm curious to hear what you value certain Pokemon as.
