Pokemon Global Trading Station Website Open For Business
As anybody who's tried to trade Pokémon over the WiFi connection with Diamond and Pearl can tell you, it's a very dry procedure. You never know if anyone wants yours and you can't always find what you're looking for. Well, Nintendo has just launched the Pokémon Global Trading Station Website at www.pokemon-gts.net for all your Pokémon trading needs, and it's anything but boring!
A stock ticker tracks the Pokémon trading activity in each country, and you can rotate a globe to check each country to see what the top Pokémon being traded are in that area. It'll also tell you facts about each country like population and local greetings and capital cities. In fact, the Flash animation makes it look like you're actually watching cross-country Pokémon trades in action. I saw quite a few Pokémon that I've never seen before, so I appreciate that you can also click on each Pokémon to see all its stats and figure out whether you even want it in the first place.
My first visit to the site was a little overwhelming to me, because I'm only a casual Pokémon player and I had no idea half of what I was looking at. But I'm sure the real Pokéfreaks will eat this up with a spoon! (Maybe now I can get rid of that extra Cascoon that's just taking up space in my PC...)

It is awesome but its to bad it isn't real time. I would trade just so I can watch it my on the website.

It may not be real time, but it seems to be a 24 hour delay...so just do your trade and watch it tomorrow;)
