Okay so I have spoken to my senior and I was made aware that the glitch can produce illegitimate Pokémon, for this reason and because it is so close to hacking territory I would ask that you do not trade Pomeg Berry glitched Pokémon within our community. And for a side note, please be careful if you use this glitch for yourself as I read several places it may brick your game.
No worries at all. You may come to me should you have more questions and I should myself have a definitive answer in the near future, about your berry glitch. Take care.
I haven't seen where it is condoned, or otherwise. It's not a glitch often talked about.
If you offer a Pomeg Berry glitched Pokémon I would say to tell the other person beforehand. Some people don't want anything to do with glitches, regardless of if the Pokémon is still considered legal.
I'll ask a senior member and get their input, and if it isn't allowed then I will message and update you.
I was being dramatic, but I've said it countless times regardless of the exact number.
You were pretty lucky to get them, hacks or not. And you can take the item from them which can be seen as lucky even if you do not keep the Pokémon.
You don't need a trick to make items when genning, you can duplicate and add whatever items you want then drag and drop to your own game. Easy peasy.
Sounds genned to me. Back then people would offer rare genned Pokémon for whatever they were missing from their Pokedex so that they could get it easier. Usually no one wanted to take time to breed baby Pokémon or get Pokémon themselves that needed friendship evolutions.
No reason for me to suspect the Zapdos is genned, seems honest enough.
Blah blah insert me saying for the tenth time that maxed out 6IVS, shiny with beneficial natures are most likely hacked especially if they are holding precious items or items that, for the game, were difficult to get due to high BP or other means.
Gen 7 starters were not shiny locked to my knowledge.
I would assume a shiny Ultra Beast to be hacked, but if it has average stats and nothing out of the ordinary then it is possibly legitimate. Shiny Ultra Beasts are very possible with time and patience.
I would assume the and any 6IV maxed Pokémon holding items are always hacked and given away in good faith.
Shiny Roggenrola seems like it could be legit, something someone caught and leveled in a casual playthrough.
Again maxed IVS, shiny and holding items like Assault Vest, which is an item generally tedious to obtain, can be safely guessed to be genned and given in good faith. Most of the time people would take the items and release the genned Pokémon a 1/2 win or a 2/2 win if you kept t he Pokémon and didn't care about genned hacks.
And as I saw you mentioned my being 'overwhelmed', I would like to clarify that I am not overwhelmed but it is simply a lot on any account when I have told you most of the ground rules for checking and have stated I would continue to do so to the best of my ability. If I was overwhelmed I would tell you so; I see no reason to be vague with you.
Again, you may dm or continue to ask here about your Pokémon but I will judge them in the same manner I have been and I may not know exactly everything because as I mentioned also hack checking is more guess work than not.
Timezones do exist so it isn't plausible to think we will be online at every instance you are. But we can respond when we are only, surely. If you have a rush then you can join a Discord and get more swift responses most likely.
Out of the ones I've played, the order I'd personally put them in would be:
Path of Radiance+Radiant Dawn>Three Houses+Three Hopes>Awakening/Fates/Sacred Stones/Engage>Shadows of Valentia
Though there's some caveats. RD easily has the worst support conservations in the entire series, which is saying something when there's a good number of terrible support convos in Fire Emblem. Fates and Engage have solid gameplay, but kind of poor stories (and Fates is especially disappointing). SoV has a really neat dungeon-crawling aspect despite being my least favorite.
It ultimately depends on what you're into and what you want out of a FE game. There's little consensus afaik on what's the best and worst ones, even if some people will argue until the the end of time that a specific one or ones is the best/worst.
