with the same OT:
The breeding isn’t perfect compared to Different OT’s
Giving you perfect breeding.
My idea would be to have a Separate tab in the GTS like how there is one for items in particular and one for any trades.
The one extra tab that I think would benefit would allow for only OT (Original Trainer) swaps or gender swaps. It becomes very tedious to put up a Pokémon for an OT swap only and no one sees it because it becomes covered in other trades and eventually 14 days later still waiting for a simple OT swap to help make breeding go faster.
There are people who could easily OT swap but don’t want to go searching through all the other trades or type in each Pokémon by name to search through them all....
To suport my idea further the icon for the page will be is when you go into the separate tab that shows something similar to this beside the item shop:
Once in the tab you can click trade either OT swap icon or gender swap. And put up your Pokémon like how you would in GTS.
This helps people find gender swap Pokémon’s or OT swap Pokémon only faster then searching through the GTS for a particular Pokémon or checking through tons of posts that have pushed down the OT/Gender requests.

Title: I see your point however...

At the very least hopefully this idea at least gets the original GTS revamped so that way it's easier for people doing gender/ot swaps to have their trades more easily accessed

It's even hard to get swaps of pokemon like Regice/Regirock/Registeel or Solgaleo/Lunala when people flood the GTS with trades... Like the GTS is for everyone but if it by one user posts multiple times in one sitting of one or similar posts, it's kinda annoying. And when that happens, people will single trade posts get pushed back...
So if something could be done for gender OT swaps, I would gladly use it and help others when I can.

The thing is: the current gts is (in my opinion) already a great place for ot-swaps, but many/most users often dont need the poke you are trying to swap. Therefore just try out adding a few pd (500-1000 to get a perfect pair really dont hurt that much).
Adding another area to the gts which has only one small purpose could led to many other demands.
Maybe we could add an extra-filter instead? (like: you type "OT-Swap" and it shows every trade with OT-Swap in its text...this could also help a lot with other stuff like searching for trades looking for a specific poke/item you´d like to trade).
Another way also might be to create an ot-swap thread in the gts-forum (if there isnt one already?) But im not sure how well that would go.
@fuzzyirulz: Why do you want to swap Legendaryies that cant be breed?

We already have options in the filters to include/remove shinies/shadows/mega-able/items/multiples
It would be really great if we had the option for gender & OT as well.
If not in the filter options then maybe a separate function in the wondertrade?
You could specify whether you wanted a gender swap OR OT swap or both, this would let you throw pokemon into the void for a couple of hours and if there aren't any out there that match your specifications you get them back without clogging up the GTS where they might not be seen anyway.
The option for both OT & gender would make sure that your own pokemon don't find their way back to you when you gender swap since it would be blind(I have accidentally traded for my own pokemon when looking for gender swaps to make a perfect pair).
The only problem I see with this is that event pokemon have the same dex as the normal pokemon
ex: Vulpix, Alolan Vulpix, Witch Vulpix all have #37, so there would need to be a way to differentiate normals/event/regionals to make sure you get the right pokemon back.

As with the Wonder Trades, it's just that: randomized. There's no guarantee that a user would get the Pokemon they want with the desired gender. I never understood putting in PD just to get a trade to be appealing to other players as most of my coins are used up for upgrading garden features and getting everstones.
