4th Gen Pokemon Legitimacy

[Sh4dow]

I'm normally very skeptical about things like this, but getting my very first NDS very soon (as I'd like to be back into serious PkMN gaming) I searched eBay and came across this.

Obviously he is using PokemonSav to generate the pokemon - but not knowing how to do it, I was thinking of buying it to serve as novelty purposes and buy a separate brand new game from a reputable store nearby to play instead.

What I'd like to know is, should I waste my time buying such items, or am I better off just playing to scratch the whole idea. The only legit legendary I owned was the Wishmaker Jirachi which was stolen of me as a child (cartridge was stolen after I distinctively said that my friend could not borrow it - got it back, but where is Jirachi *gasp*).

I repeat again, the only purpose for this if I were buying it would be for novelty purposes. If I were to forget the idea, would I ever be able to own a legit event pokemon? In Australia, events aren't well promoted so often I will miss these events.

you have only missed one event in australia, the JB Hi-Fi manaphy, i say just stick with the new game and dont waste your money on the hacked game

 

[Shiny Umbreon]

Why would you want a game full of hacked shinies?

Anyway, if your country doesn't get events (like mine) you can get many things through Wi-Fi.

OMG there was a JB HiFi event? T~T I missed it...

Anyway if it were me, no matter how cheap it was, (even free) I would never buy or accept anything hacked. I like to stay legit and even though I may not have as many shinys or better pokemon I feel better inside than the hacker. Because I know that I am not simply cheating on a game because I am either too lazy or not capable of doing these things legitimately.

Thats my 2 cents! =)

P.S: shalashaska, where do I find out about events in Australia?
P.P.S: Sorry for going a bit off topic...

My point exactly. But that's just me, I would like to a proud owner of another Jirachi - perhaps I'm being a bit rash.

I know you said it's just a novelty item, but what's the point of buying it and then just basically looking at it since you can't do anything with all the Pokemon?

You're better just buying a new game and starting fresh from there. Hacks aren't supported here either, so I don't see the point in buying it if you just let it sit there.

Buying the game is fun enough, no need to wreck all the surprise by knowing everything with an already done game. ;D

eBay's crap.

Not only is it not legit and hacked, I'm willing to be the game is a fake too.

Nah, the guy just probaly hacked the game cartridge and repackaged it to make it look new.

Your Pokémon are all legit, so feel free to: trade, battle, have Super Contests, mix records, make Poffin, and all the other fun stuff you can do with your customized Pokémon Pearl along with your friends/family -- online and offline!!

I rofl at this part of the description.

And whats even funnier is that it costs like 40$ more than the original just because it has hacked Pokemon and items and stuff.

 

[ultimatelegend5]

lol wow that is probably fake and the pokemon aren't legit

 

[Denuo]

I wouldn't bother personally. eBay is full of stuff like that, people find loopholes and exploit them, it's how the world is.

I personally get a good feeling from adding the most common of Pokemon to my Dex, through to the more rarer ones. It's that feeling you don't get when you hack them just to watch them sit in your box and do nothing, kinda defeats things.

It's a shame that stuff like this happens really, because I know it would tempt a lot of people. I've even been tempted by it. But it's technology, most games have a darker side/illegitimate players.

Also the person who is selling the hacked un-legit copy of it is proberly not a Pokémon Fan.

 

[El Gofre]

Here's a bit of logic for you: he's charging $80 for a game with every shiny or whatever it was. Isnt it cheaper to by an AR for however much they are over there, and find the code he's using?

Btw i do not endorse hacking in any way shape or form, hacking is bad.

 

[Kim Do-yeon]

I found an AR code that makes all Pokémon Shiny.

BTW: Gofre you are right about you could just buy the AR cartridge because I have done the math:

Game ($34.99, Target) + ARDS ($24.99, Retailer) = $59.98

And the guy on ebay is selling it for $79.49

So you are Saving $19.51

 

[shadow25]

i would die for that but i got one already and i likea game whear i get a chalange off it so i woulg like it but no way to hacks

IMO, I like Fan-made Pokemon.

I've made some for the kids my mother watches, and are made to give them Pokemon they can't get(Mew/Celebi/Jirachi/Deoxys/Phione/Manaphy/Darkrai/Shaymin/Arceus)

I don't like making them, really. I'm only doing it for them :/

IMO, it's more fun recieving other's Fan-made Events.
