is my shaymin legit?
 
I recieved my shaymin in a trade. It is level 32, caught in an ultra ball. It is nicknamed "SHYMN" (maybe it was originally japanese and the person who recieved it nicknamed it? I'm not sure) its OT is MIKE, its ID No. is 42515. It was met at Flower Paradise at lv. 30. I'm thinking it is legit, but I'm not 100% sure, anyone know how to tell whether it is legit or not?

Sounds to be legit, despite the americanized name...

I read somewhere that if it is originally a japansese name you can only nickname it with five letters... that could be totally wrong, just remembered reading it somewhere

all current Shaymins are semi legit, because the nintendo event for it hasn't been realeased yet, it's impossible to get a completely legit shaymin

what about the japanese glitch?, is that what you mean by semi-legit?

Myoko-chan July 4th, 2007 7:42 PM

no, i mean by actually using a cheat device to activate the event. Not sure if about the japanese glitch though

Ichida July 4th, 2007 7:44 PM

If it was caught in Flower Paradise, it's as legit as you can get for now. The event itself would have given you the exact same Shaymin, so rejoice in saving the plane ticket. :P

wasnt there the glitch about surfing in the elite four... or walking through a wall (in the japanese game) or maybe that is a different pokemon

thats good news! and yea... there is no way I would get on a plane and go somewhere just to get a pokemon

Ichida July 4th, 2007 7:46 PM

That glitch doesn't work. The Action Replay can use a code to trigger the event, so it plays out exactly as if you went to the event.

thats good enough for me, I'm not training it or anything, it just sits happily in my PC box :-)

Ichida July 4th, 2007 7:48 PM

As do my event legendaries. :D

dude you're obsessed with plain tickets.. you live in burundi or something XD

and yea it sounds legit but my best bet would be that it's japanese because of that weird nickname..

Ichida July 4th, 2007 7:58 PM

Canada, but I don't like spending money at all if it's unnecessary. I'm not going to New York to get an Arceus when I can get the exact same Pokemon right in my own room for the cost of an Action Replay.

That's the only way to get it without a cheating device ATM. In the Japanese version you can use the Surf through the door E4 glitch, plus a number of steps and digging, will get you onto the island where Shaymin is. So chances are... the one you've gotten is probably via that way.

that's only possible with the older versions of the japanese game that are over 1 year old, and they repaired that with a patch.. so it's extremely hard to get something with that glitch nowadays..

Well yes. I believe that constitutes to the first 3 months of released ones, or roughly thereabouts. Luckily I have one of those copies. xD

<Nico> July 4th, 2007 8:34 PM

hehe you lucky boy you.. XD

true but I believe that many of them have been patched during an event or maybe after a connection to nintendo wfc? I forgot XD

because that batch of the game also presented another dangerous glitch that would get you stuck in some cave forever.. I forgot I read it on a magazine some time ago XD

You're forgetting about the tweaking glitch.

It can't really get anymore 'Legit' than that...IMO, legitimacy doesn't even matter.

Even if I'm wrong, who cares? You have Shaymin.

Sakurah July 5th, 2007 11:40 AM

I'm thinking it's a fake, since they nicknamed it to cover the proof that it's hacked. It's one of the oldest hack trick. xD

If the name/OT is in Japanese [I'm kinda guessing] then it's legal, plus there's the whole date thing. Wasn't there a set of date to get the event?
Unless it's glitched. My bad, just realized it.

My Shimei's name is in Japanese and so was the original owner.
Plus it was caught before the English version came out. XD
But I dunno if I would count it as legal because it was caught glitched wise.
