Checking
 
I don't hack just to let you know so won't get assumptions

If you hack lets say a Membership Card and then go get Darkrai through the dock or watever you get to the island face darkrai and it happenes to be shiny Is the actual pokemon Legit??????

True Justice May 29th, 2008 2:38 PM

No because the Membership Card has not been released yet. I mean, the Darkrai itself would be legit but the means of getting to it are hacked. Therefore it could not be obtained in the first place.

Atomic Sharks May 29th, 2008 2:40 PM

but lets say you wanted to trade it would it count for legit or hacked

True Justice May 29th, 2008 2:42 PM

If an AR was used to obtain it, it is hacked. But i'm sure someone would want to trade for it just because it's shiny.

paperfunk May 29th, 2008 2:42 PM

are you asking if the membership card is released legitly, could the darkrai be shiny? yes. because there is a shiny form of it, so it is just like any other Pokemon when it comes to being shiny. the membership just triggers darkrais apperance. whether or not it'll be shiny is predetermined by the game.

Peanutassailant May 29th, 2008 2:43 PM

yep its hacked, it doesnt matter if a AR was used directly or indirectly, if a AR was used at any stage, its hacked

Surely, if one cannot get to an event, what is wrong with using an Action Replay? I'd agree it was hacked if you used the AR to always encounter Darkrai but since the membership card triggers a legit one... Even if you say "OMG ITS HACKEDD!!!!" can you actually prove it? :P

True Justice May 29th, 2008 3:27 PM

In the case of a Newmoon Darkrai, if the date of it is caught before the actual event, that's the only proof you have. Otherwise, there is nothing to prove a Newmoon Darkrai is fake.

Yeah, the membership card is the only hacked thing, so there's no way of knowing if it's legit or not.

airconditioning May 29th, 2008 3:27 PM

Since it was legitimately caught, but reached using illegitimate means, it's semi-legit.

Atomic Sharks May 29th, 2008 4:13 PM

thanks so if i trade it i have to say it is semi legit

True Justice May 29th, 2008 4:27 PM

Well you can't trade it on PC but you have to say its semi-legit if you want to trade it.

Atomic Sharks May 29th, 2008 4:39 PM

so if i wanted to i wouldn't get in trouble with the mods to trade it on here and say it is semi legit

True Justice May 29th, 2008 4:43 PM

Actually you would get in trouble because Newmoon Darkrai is not allowed for trade.

ClassicRockFan May 29th, 2008 4:55 PM

Yeah, this is why no Arceus are legit even if they are caught at the Hall of Origin. Newmoon Darkrais are not allowed as jman617 said since they have not been givin out yet, so it would be considered hacked at the moment. (The only legit ones are Japanese Movie Darkrais, and they were set as non-shiny) And you could get infracted if you had actually traded it here.

Atomic Sharks May 30th, 2008 3:13 AM

ok that was why i was making sure so once the membership card comes out is this pokemon considered legit or hacked

ClassicRockFan May 30th, 2008 3:17 AM

Well, it would be legit, but if someone hacked for it before it came out, people might consider it hacked (Mainly since it was caught at a date before it came out, even though you can change the internal clock)

El Gofre May 30th, 2008 3:17 AM

Hacked. They'll see the catch date was prior to the item's release.

ClassicRockFan May 30th, 2008 3:19 AM

Well, people do change the internal clock (for reasons I don't know) and it could be legit when it actually comes out, but as of now, Newmoon Darkrais are considered hacks.

Atomic Sharks May 30th, 2008 3:35 AM

Ok thanks just checking so no trading it until the membership card comes out thanks i didn 't want to get in trouble so thanks again and it is at lv 40 is that the regular lv you find darkrai on the island

ClassicRockFan May 30th, 2008 3:54 AM

Yeah, the only legit one as of now is the Japanese Movie Darkrai and that comes at LV 50. And the soon-to-come Toy'r'us Darkrai Event that most likely comes at LV 50.

Atomic Sharks May 30th, 2008 4:04 AM

and i am going to so thanks for all the help

You forgot about the Battonage Darkrai (also Japanese and LV. 50, I think).

you can't trade that Darkrai to your D/P/P

Kit-Tsukasa June 5th, 2008 3:25 PM

The only way it is not hacked is via the Japanese Surf Glitch, but it is too difficult to justify that the glitch was used to obtain it (even though I own one thanks to a friend) and that it was only in the first few copies of the Japanese Diamond and Pearl when it was released. Therefore, it is currently said as hacked since the chances of getting a semi-legit one is incredibly slim (and for the record, no I am not trading it or Shaymin any further as I can't here :P)
