The Pokemon Thread

[CaptainCool]

My legitimate Victini failed Bank's hack checks. I do not know why.

That's odd. Maybe their hacking detection is a little too sensitive?

Arceus, Shaymin, and Darkrai didn't make it through. They were all legitimate captures from generation IV, but that said, I used Action Replay to get the Event items which spawned their events.

Bummer. I wanted my Shaymin.

This on the other hand is pretty impressive^^ That it can detect that the Pokémon itself was a legitimate capture but that you used a hacked item to trigger the event? It's a bummer that you can't get them into your game now but at least this proves that they took pretty much all necessary steps to prevent people from importing hacked Mons

Well, as for Arceus- The Azure flute item was never actually legitimately distributed. The only way to get Arceus in Gen IV was through giveaways.

Yeah... the 'date' you caught the Pokemon is part of the metadata. I'm fairly sure that the hacking detection mechanism could easily be configured to exclude Pokemon if they were caught outside of their event dates. >.<

That's my only guess, since they were legitimate captures.

Well, only if caught before that date, of course. The Members' Card and the Oak's Letter allow the Pokémon to be caught at any time after receiving the item. But it really depends on whether Nintendo are digging that deep, setting specific date restrictions on specific Pokémon.

Thing is, they'd want to ban hacked Pokemon - that's their goal. And I can't really see any other way to identify how they identified my Pokemon, you know?

Gah, I'm actually really dissapointed. Mah Shaymin!

 

[Harbinger]

Thats bullshit, so there's no possible "legal" way to actually catch them all then?
The whole franchises friggin tagline?

Events 'n stuff- Gotta download 'em all!

Though if you wanna get technical, the Dream World Arceus event allowed players to catch it in the Entralink Forest. It counts!

 

[Stratelier]

Finally got chaining to work properly with the Poke Radar in XY. They don't really explain much about how to do it, but when you're doing it right, it's obvious.

 

[Kamek_Sans]

I'm too lazy to chain :V

 

[DrDingo]

Holy crap, my Pokémon Black is an absolute treasure trove! The least full PC box I have has still got 27 Pokémon in it! This is the game I transferred all my shinies, legends, and old favourites to from previous gens. Now to decide what to transfer!

 

[Jags]

My Pokedex makes me sad, blank spaces I can not fill.

 

[chocomage]

What happens if it detects a pokemon is a hack?

 

[Alexxx-Returns]

What happens if it detects a pokemon is a hack?

It simply tells you that there's a problem with one or more 'mons, and that they won't be going through to the bank.

If you go back to your PC in-game, they'll still be there.

 

[SirRob]

If you could just view them on the internet, yeah why not? But if it was anything else, I reckon they need to exercise real caution regarding hackers using it as a way to sneak on some hacked Pokémon.

just viewing it, yeah. So I could have an easy way of checking the bank while playing the game.

Edit: You know, I'm dumb for not noticing this the first time I used it. The Pokemon Link menu uses the Wifi theme from the past Pokemon games. That song's kinda nostalgic to me, reminding me of when I used to stay up all night in bed playing Pokemon Diamond online. I was sorta disappointed not to hear it at all in this game, it's not even on the soundtrack. But here it is! I'm really happy to hear it again. [noparse][/noparse]

 

[yell0w_f0x]

Is anyone having the same problem? I'm trying to connect to the Internet on my mobile phone but I can't seem to get a stable connection. I was planning on using the gts during my work break but it seems I'm wasting my time since it keeps disconnecting me. I don't have this problem when I'm at home using wifi. Just my mobile hotspot.

Yeah... the 'date' you caught the Pokemon is part of the metadata. I'm fairly sure that the hacking detection mechanism could easily be configured to exclude Pokemon if they were caught outside of their event dates. >.<

That's my only guess, since they were legitimate captures.

I also believe that ribbons and the pokeballs their in is another check.

 

[SirRob]

I don't think I've ever successfully connected online with my 3DS in a public space.

 

[yell0w_f0x]

I give up. I'll just deposit the poke later when I get home.

On the other hand. I just hatched a female magician fennekin a minute ago with all 4 egg moves(hypnosis heat wave mirror coat and wish) and inside a Dive Ball. ... After a week. Lol. Now all I need to do is get some ivs on it. Whew. Breeding is hard work. I got rejects if anyone wants before i dump em all into wonder trade.

 

[Mr. Sparta]

Apparently I've been overlooking O-powers. I tried maxing out catch power and then I was able to catch mewtwo with a quick ball!

 

[yell0w_f0x]

so.. diancie (rock/fairy) has just been announced. now there is 719 pokemon to collect. wish theyd bring out the event over here where im at.

befriending power really help evolving pokemon with friendship based evolutions. i got my espeon quite fast since i needed one to breed egg moves.

 

[TransformerRobot]

Would a Pokemon MMORPG really be like this?

I hate how butthurt people get at a console or updated pokemon game, if done rightly it could be awesome. Obviously there would have to be some kind of cap where you can only interact with same leveled players.

 

[SirRob]

XY's basically an MMO already.

 

[Falafox]

Anyone here has played PokeMMO? It is just fire red but massive multiplayer, it's so fun to play with friends at the same time and completing the game. It is still unfinished, but I completed the main story and had a blast. Never touched it since, everyone has the perfect team all shinies and EV trained.
My strat is to have 5 magikarps low level and 1 magikarp level 10 with tackle. You will get wrek.

 

[yell0w_f0x]

It's prolly just me but I can't help but think diancie is related to Carbink.

 

[DrDingo]

I bet that, like Carbink, it'll be hella defensive as well!
A defensive legendary would be pretty interesting. Imagine- like a Shuckle that actually deals decent damage!
