Yeah, I encountered almost the same exact problems as you are lol; some people who live in different time zones always have the inconvenient timing (in most parts). When I provide a giveaway, I always consider of make a poll on a specific Pokemon rather than groups like you are doing. It's cool, but hard to manage depending on the demand :D Like the more you supply the Pokemon in that giveaway, the more likely people would demand for their collection
Just consider what kind of trade format should you make a giveaway based on. For example, the stage 1 starters you provided this week I personally believe are snipe-able in the GTS; make a direct trade. Unless you are fast enough to answer the people in the GTS as quick as possible, then I have no complaints there.
Stage 3 (or stage 2) Pokemon are in the GTS b/c they're not quite much often being sniped, depending on the people who provide the request description. I encountered some ppl who didn't specify the traded 'mon I provided in the giveaway (mostly the gender and the leveling cap); they just simply request it w. the required message simply b/c they expect me to be quick as possible lol.
Your giveaways are great, just provide a level cap as well, so that people won't have to worry about being sniped (at least for the most parts). Before resorting to direct trade, give them like 2-3 chances of depositing a pkmn in the GTS. They're just nice people who want the greatest experience in Pokemon before Sun and Moon comes out, that's all.
