There are easier ways to make money.

Unless he's using some sort of game editor to hack them in, but it doesn't appear that way... jesus this must take ages.

I suspect there is at least a lot of cloning going on here <.<

Selling Pokemon on Ebay.
Bloody hell.

What happened to Gameshark on the playground? : (

I know .-.

I might actually buy some from him >_>

Can you still hack shiny pokemon into the newer games? If so, dat's some good money right there.

I think you could for a time, but Nintendo cracked down hard on it IIRC. It's also never been easier to get shinies >.>

I've got about 8 of them without really trying barring the one that I bred and the one that I'm planning to breed. I know you can still clone pokemon so I think there might be some sort of archive of 5/6iv shinies that he clones to flog on ebay.

How exactly are they preventing hacked pokemon from showing up?

Well I know you can't trade them from Gen 5 to Gen 6, I had a few Action Reply pokemon from Gen 4 (fracking events) but the game cockblocks you at the door when you try to send them forwards, which is fair enough I suppose since apparently hacked pokemon were rife in Gen 5.

What I do know of is this game save editor thing that people were using for Gen 6 and there are plenty of videos of hackers on the online battling so I think it's something of an uphill battle for nintendo.

Any idea on how they stop hacked pokemon? Because as far as I know, they can be made to look pretty damn legit, with a genuine pokemon ID, stats, trainer...

They tried a few things with the game not recognising them as legitimate i.e Kalos Born tag on their ID Card but even then it wouldn't surprise me if that could be faked. I think it mostly just comes down to people generally don't want to cheat in pokemon and the fun is from playing it properly, but those who do don't tend to hurt others.

I don't know the specifics but one thing they put on the GTS is to block event pokemon which are the most commonly hacked ones from flooding the market so to speak, hence things like this guy selling them on ebay via direct trades where they are permitted.

I just want the Gen 5 event pokemon that I can't get at all :l
You can't trade over the internet and short of begging random people on forums/leddit it's hopeless. I know they don't count towards the pokedex buuuut >_>

Do people not realize how easy it is to hack most of the pokemon into the new games or something?
