    So it's been a month and a few days.

    Hopefully, I won't have such awful fucking luck this time. But I won't be battling tonight.

    I received some EV-trained Pokés from a guy for basically nothing. While they seem to be legit because they enter PBR and Ranch just fine, am I right to suspect the things are hacked?

    BTW, 84 pages and no thread name change? For shame.

    My goodness! Munkus, pie, and rockinx.

    The gang's getting back together or something.

    So, how good are the allegedly hacked pokemon you got?

    I haven't battled in over a month, don't know, but I got their EV spreads here.

    Not revealing that, though, some of those are genius* stuff.

    *May not actually be genius stuff.

    Welcome back RockinX. Is there any detail about those pokemon that would make you think they're hacked?
    Were they caught in the right places? at the correct levels?

    I had an idea for a new thread title, but i'm saving it for the next thread.

    Shiny Magnezone: 26 / 22 / 27 / 26 / 27 / 3

    Empoleon: 29 / 31 / 25 / 26 / 24 / 31

    I doubt those are legit, but I'm still using them. Fuck Nintendo and their bullshit randomness.

    BTW, Empoleon has virtually no speed EVs.

    If they're lvl. 100 it'd imply they have access to AR or some other manipulation device, but other than that there's no easy way to tell. Unless they're hatched on Moonlight Island or have six flawless IVs or something.

    Also, I've heard nicknames won't show up in PBR. Or something.

    The Magnezone is quite suspicious only because it's shiny and they just gave it away.
    Unless it came from the GBA games and he cloned it. Does it say Hoenn or Kanto in the summary?

    Level 49 and 31.

    Would you give away such awesome Pokés for a few requests (he only wanted some seedot and another one Poké whose species I forgot)?

    Magnezone was caught at Fuego Ironworks.

    The D/P cloning trick is extra risky with a cool shiny. I'd be amazed if they pulled it off. But yeah, it's possible.
    Suspicious, but they pass inspection.

    Ultimately, the only way to know for sure if a pokemon is legit is by catching or hatching it yourself.

    Wait a minute, I thought something was fishy, all the IVs of Magnezone add to Hidden Power Power. When putting them in a calc Hidden Power Grass 70 comes out. Definitely fishy.

    Guys, the Pokés are obviously hacked and I'm playing with you.

    Also asking for permission to use them.

    The guy just got an R4 (by the time we did this) and started editing Pokés, then asked me to do some trades with him to pass them over to his legit card and in exchange offered me some modified Pokés. I agreed because of the bullshit luck I had been having those moments (and the amount of time I spent hatching) and since he said they couldn't be wrong or have unlegit stats I said "why not?".

    I also asked him to change Stun Spore for Spore on my first Breloom, which I had evolved before knowing it had to be a Shroomish in order to learn it.

    But he screwed the Regi I asked him to build by giving it Magnet Pull. I really wanted to use that thing.

    You have too many cool usable shinies as it is X. PERMISSION DENIED!

    You don't really need permission from anyone. I would ask that you use them in battle somewhere else to just see if maybe they're super powered in battle somehow.
    Maybe Nozz was telling the truth, he had no idea that his Pokémon had become invincible.

    My lies even had flaws there but you had no way of proving I was lying about not being sure.

    Bad eggs do look bad on PBR and I wish they showed as bad eggs in the DS card so I could have noticed before I lost contact with the dude. Now I lost a Poké I didn't clone.

    Whatever, it had a bad nature and IVs anyway.

    Nozz was using an R4 as well, if I recall correctly his post. I think he may have used an Action Replay instead because of the unstability of those. But I tested them on PBR and the only one that shows as a bad egg is the magnet pull Regi.

    That Magnezone is just so hacked. I don't think that's ok. I don't know about the Empoleon. What's its Hidden Power?
    and its a shame to hear that you went and altered your own pokemon to. To get cheap things from someone isn't a bad thing, but to have them alter your own stuff? Come on X, you don't need to do that.

    Empoleon was a Piplup traded from that guy that admitted he was hacking his own pokés before he started hacking them.

    Magnezone, though, that was mine from when I was catching Pokés for getting the Hypnosis Mew. Got several dozens of them and none were shiny. I'm not even packing HP into any of them.

    I was, but now that it's been brought up, I'll take it away from Magnezone.

    If I get to use them.

    For my part, I don't really care if you use them or not. You could have just NOT TOLD US instead of hoisting this ethical dilemma on our shoulders, gosh.

    But! I ask that you refrain from using the obscene hidden power since unlike the ivs that's something that, as one person commented the other night, is unavailable to us mere mortals.

    Also I ask that you give them humiliating nicknames. And no cheating by making them humiliating in spanish or japanese, mister!

    I'm of the opinion that so long as you're not giving them impossible stats, like say Nozz did, then you're in the clear and are in fact smarter than the rest of us mooks that are making them from scratch. But that's just me.

    EDIT: Getting a max strength HP is a little more iffy. I'd lean on the side of it being okay but it's much less clear-cut to me.

    Now I know nothing about chaining, but there are plenty of people who chain stuff to get shinies and with success. It takes some determination and luck like IV breeding, but it's possible. Perfect Hidden Power though? No way.

    But you read Japanese!

    What I don't know is if you can understand it.

    I'm one of those people who believe that lies will be brought to light someday. If somehow they showed glitched graphics (which I doubt they will and hope they don't) or something, I would have been as cornered as Nozz was with no way of redeeming myself.

    Also, unethical, does not compute. And I'm glad some people understand the difference between moral and ethics.

    I got fed up after getting around 120 Magnemites with and without chaining them and none of them being shiny. I got 50+ Pokés chains.

    Iffy and people are going to expect it now.

    No, I got the guy to hack that one Piplup that was given to me by someone else.

    And about Zone, I encountered several dozen of Magnemites with and without chains and found no shinies among them. I remember a guy who said he got like three or four red Gyaradoses while filling his Ranch.

    Actually I changed my mind on the hp issue as I don't think I have anything that is weak to grass. Oh ho ho.

    Fun fact! One of the gym leaders admitted to me that they haxxed pokemon to build their gym team! Which one is a secret! To keep it "fair" they gave them 22s across the board.

    It will never happen. The developers have said that they want all Pokés to be different.

    By the way, I found the picture of a crab that may be the source of that one crab that's competition to Kingler whose name I forgot:

    someoneneedshug.jpg

    I chose to give them non-perfect IVs because it wouldn't be fair to have perfect IVs. I guess this method isn't fair, either, but I wanted to make it more fair.
