Fixed Traded Jigglypuff for Bulbapie

[adjonathanad]

I was excited to test out the new GTS @Goldenrod City thanks to the latest update; so I decided to do some scrolling around and see if there were any interesting trades going on. I ran across one that was VERY appealing to me:

A level 10-19 Male Jigglypuff for a level 20 Bulbasaur. Considering the fact that Bulbasaur is practically unattainable by regular means; I decided to jump on this trade and go find me an appropriate Jigglypuff to train it to the requested level range.

However, once my stress was over I finished off the trade to find I had received a Caterpie inclined Bulbasaur.
(The EXP also seems to be at -200% for some odd reason)

I have no idea what happened, or if the GTS is now hackable. But I documented every moment of it--including the person who started the trade.

I of course feel scammed.. but all we can do now is learn from this and hopefully prevent it from happening again.

If this ever happens again, use E (or whatever button you binded to cancel) to cancel the evolution.

I have to test this, but if you want to, I can send you a Bulbasaur on the GTS, so you have one.
I am really sorry that happened.
Just PM me, if you want a Bulbasaur, I will give you one later today.

Thanks for the tip Tornado9797, I will do that next time.

Wow, thanks for the help! Will go ahead and send the PM your way Nilllzz!

I can confirm this.
The gts activates the evo sequence despite not being a trade evo.
It then proceeds to choose caterpie as the evo to prevent crashing.

Just realized I have to restructure quite some things. Lets do this.

Fixed.

I read this and then wish it happens to someone in the actual game. This is a f*cking letdown and it would be pretty hilarious i an LP YT Channel was just recording this and sees that it say that a Bulbasaur evolves into a Caterpie.
