I disagree. Most of our traders work hard to obtain their Pokémon, whether it be through a series of trades to get what they desire, or spend hours trying to RNG to get the results he/she wants. If it turns out that the Pokémon he/she worked hard to obtain was traded for a hack, all their effort would have meant nothing. Anyone can easily make a hack, so why should I receive a hack in return for all the work I put into my Pokémon? A hack does not have the same value as a Pokémon that was legitimately (legally) obtained.
Another fact to consider is, a hacked Pokémon may not always be competitively viable. (i.e. Mewtwo with ability Wonder Guard) Many hacks are edited badly, and thus, cannot be used in battles.
