Imagine the scene. It's Christmas afternoon, you've had the turkey/goose/whatever, the Queen's speech is over and your family is half asleep in front of *insert name of cheesy Christmas movie here*. You're finally able to rip the cellophane off your first ever (or perhaps second, or even third or more) Pokemon game that was under the tree this morning, fire it up and choose your starter. After playing for a bit, you've caught a few Pokemon and are ready for the lucky dip that is Wonder Trade. With bated breath, you select to trade Fletchling/Pikachu/Pansear and watch as the details of your fellow trader are shown on the screen. Fletchling/Pikachu/Pansage whoosh off into a Pokeball and back comes.... what? What would you really like to see coming towards you on that screen?

My first ideas are: Axew, Deino, Larvitar, Dratini, 1st Gen starter, Charm Eevee. All with good IVs, natch.

What does everyone else want for Christmas? (please don't mention legendaries, shinies or anything not available yet)
 
I'll hopefully be WTing a bunch of pokemon like zorua etc on christmas night, if I have the time (things are so god damn busy at my house right now, I've got like no time for anything...)

Yeah me too. :/ Pretty much HOMEWORK is trying to prevent me from doing some thing I would like to do like video games.
 
The only thing I want for christmas is to find somebody willing to trade me for my extra shiny absol. No one seems to want him because he's not a perfect shiny pokemon.. and come the 27th or so, I'll have another shiny absol looking for a home; and he probably doesn't have any perfect IVs so finding a home for him will be even more brutal.

I would trade with you, but I don't have any shiny that I would be willing to part with/you would be interested in.

I am going to wonder trade about 3 boxes of froakie on Christmas.
 
Bet I'll be giving away shiny legendaries come the 27th since they'll be imperfect shinies too.
 
That's a really cool idea, Dizzi :). I can try to breed some random guys to trade on Christmas and even on Christmas Eve.

What do you want for him? I'd love to give him a home with me.

I'm not going to WT current gen starters, simply because they are so common already on WT, especially Froakie. I usually get at least 2 or 3 for each box full I WT out. And I have so many PokeMiles for Wonder Trading that I'm going to have each Pokemon hold either a PP Up or a Rare Candy, so at least every person I trade with will get something useful, even if they don't have a use for the Pokemon. I'd love to trade out a bunch of shiny Clauncher, but I've spent quite a bit of today chain fishing for them while farming Horsea for Dragon Scales and no joy :(

Sent you a PM, don't want to derail this topic any further.

On topic, if I get around to any wonder trading; I might wonder trade off some of my extra 5IV pichu's I've got from breeding(no sign of my shiny pichu yet; though Big Papa Pi will be a great father if I ever need to breed him with something for IV breeding.)

Tried to send you one back, but your box is full.

Cool, hope I get one too! And hope you get your shiny Pichu soon :)

Emptied my inbox now; stupid thing is saving sent messages again[even though I'm pretty sure I told it not to do that]. You can have one of my 5IV pichu's if you want. Don't need anything for em.
 
tbh, I want a foreign Scatterbug with worthwhile IVs that's nicknamed. :|

I want to use Vivillon because I think it's cool, buuuut...I hate the modern pattern which is the one I'm stuck with if I breed them myself.

I'll be Wonder Trading some fun/rare things off once the Bank is open.

That reminded me, If i can get around to breeding them before christmas, I'll be WTing 4-5IV tundra ones ;)
 
I've got a little over 30 5IV pichu's to WT around Christmas. I ended up hatching a 6IV pichu and decided to call it quits on the shiny hunt with that awesome little girl. (already got her to lvl 31 and is evolved to pikachu)

All the pichu's I'll be WTing know Volt Tackle.
