I have never heard of people or Pokemon being banned from online battling. The games' filters really aren't that good. Yes, if something on your hacked Pokemon is illegal it's not allowed to battle on random wi-fi, but all you'd need to do is fix that little problem and it's perfectly fine. The game can't tell what's hacked because hacked Pokemon are the exact same as normal Pokemon, unless you're talking about the ones with illegal stats.Being banned from online battling is one reason, but another one is because people think that obtaining pokemon from an Action Replay takes away from the game a bit. It's more rewarding to train your pokemon rather than hack to get it.
They're not banned forever from online, you just need to change the little thing that's making them illegal. And what? Ruining your entire game?I don't know if they still can, but at least in the past they had a possibility of ruining your entire game, making you lose all your Pokemon and your save file. Also, they can be banned from online battling and such, so if you trade a good, legit Pokemon for a hacked one to battle with without realizing, you're screwed pretty much. There are so many shortcuts in the game, why hack anyway?
Hacked Pokemon are usually no different from normal Pokemon. Scratch that, they tend to have perfect IVs.
Yeah, where did all this "damage your game" stuff come from?There seems to be a big misconception that having hacked Pokemon can damage your game. If you make them properly, they don't and they can be almost indistinguishable from captured pokemon. Besides, there's very little difference between RNG abuse and hacking anyway and I see RNG abused shinies with maxed out IV's getting traded all the time without the stigma.
Only to figure out the Pokemon has abysmal IVs?It takes the fun out of it IMO. I'd much rather hunt for the PKMN and then capture it in it's natural environment than hack it in somewhere else.
