Pokemon Values

For a while since I stopped using this trade forum I've noticed the value of everything has gone way up when in-fact, it should have gone down if you do a simple calculation.
If more people are joining and playing the game then more Pokemon will be found meaning the Pokemon you are trading for won't be AS rare.
Therefore, the value should come down.
But all I see in these topics is people saying "1 billion for my zekrom because I think it's the first one even though I can't prove it"
Well no, that's not the case.
Here is my value of the Pokemon here in Vortex, if you go above it, feel free but don't expect people to trade with you.
Certain things will cause people to offer high for certain Pokemon, for example;
A collector, such as the top trainers will offer very high for a Pokemon that they need, this does not mean they are worth that, it just means they are willing to give a lot to complete the Pokedex.

Normal Pokemon:

Straight trade for another normal Pokemon.

Shiny Pokemon:

Or
One Shiny for 3 Normal Pokemon

Dark Pokemon:

Or
One Dark for 3 Normal Pokemon
____________________________________________________

Mystic Pokemon:

Or

____________________________________________________

Ancient Pokemon:

Shiny, Dark, Mystic and Ancient Legendary Pokemon:

Each of the types of legendary Pokemon are worth the same. You should never say your Shiny legendary is worth 2 Mystic's.
This is not the case.
They all have the same probability of being found, therefore are worth the same.
Straight trade for another Shiny, Dark, Mystic or Ancient legendary.
Or
One S/D/M/A legendary for two Normal legendary Pokemon
Or
One S/D/M/A legendary for 4 S/D/M/A non legendary Pokemon
Or
One S/D/M/A legendary for 12 Normal non legendary Pokemon
Or
One S/D/M/A legendary for 2,000,000 (2 million) experience.
____________________________________________________

Normal Legendary Pokemon:

Straight trade for another Normal legendary.
Or
One Normal legendary for 2 S/D/M/A non legendary Pokemon.
Or
One normal Legendary for 7 Normal non legendary Pokemon
Or
One Normal legendary for 1,000,000 (1 million) experience.

Normal, Shiny, Dark, Mystic or Ancient Unobtainable Pokemon:

Unobtainable Pokemon are all worth the same, whether they're N/S/D/M/A and hard to value because it depends how many of them there are in Vortex.
But I'd say, on average each one is worth;
One Unobtainable for another Unobtainable.
Or
One Unobtainable for 10 S/D/M/A legendary Pokemon.
Or
One Unobtainable for 17 Normal legendary Pokemon.
Or
One Unobtainable for 40,000,000 (40 million) experience.
Or
One Unobtainable for 32 S/D/M/A non legendary Pokemon.
Or
One Unobtainable for 96 Normal non legendary Pokemon.

Event Unobtainable Pokemon:
Event Unobtainable Pokemon have an independent value, based on the fact that they will never be available again and as more members join, the higher the value of these will go.
Each of them have separate value because there are less or more of them.

Rotom (Halloween) is highly rare, with only 358 of them in the game.
A calculated value of them is;
One Rotom (Halloween) for 5 Unobtainable Pokemon.
Or
One Rotom (Halloween) for 200,000,000 (200 million) experience.
I'll work out normal legendary value etc. another time.


Caterpie (Christmas) is not as rare but still highly valuable, with 3785 of them in the game.
A calculated value of them is;
One Caterpie (Christmas) for 1 Unobtainable Pokemon.
Or
One Caterpie (Christmas) for 40,000,000 (40 million) experience.
Or
One Unobtainable for 10 S/D/M/A legendary Pokemon.
Or
One Unobtainable for 17 Normal legendary Pokemon.
Or
One Unobtainable for 32 S/D/M/A non legendary Pokemon.
Or
One Unobtainable for 96 Normal non legendary Pokemon.
