.... ever change the year on your ds? To make the pokemon you catch, then you reset the year to make it seem like its from from the future?

I hadn't thought about it o_O;

But I play Animal Crossing so it'd screw up that if I change the date.

Umm...no. Personally, I think that's pretty stupid because it would be apparent to anyone else who sees the Pokemon that the person reset the year. My brother set his to 2004 once because he didn't know what year it was, though. So he was catching generation IV before they were released.

No, it makes the pokemon that I caught seem hacked.
Instead of bothering with it and telling them, it's best to just keep it normal.

Hey Gimmepienow your flying ivysaur picture looks like its shooting a solarbeam out of its butt XD

But back on topic: I don't really care much for the time I catch them. All I worry about is catching and leveling and such. Plus this would stuff up Pal Park which I'm currently using.

Like pokejungle, I play Animal Crossing, so it would mess it up...eh, I already time travelled once by mistake. But I don't feel like doing that any time soon, what's the point?

I don't do it often because I like to keep playing the DPPt games the hard way, but sometimes I just do it after the Elite Four for Lucas's sister. Since she tells you what swarm there is going to be, and if I am in a need of a specific pokémon from a swarm, I'd change my DS Clock's time and see what she says next. However, other than that, most of the time it's rare for me to do so.

No, but the idea of getting a Pokemon from 2043 or even 1956 somehow intrigues me now. I might try it on Pearl for the lulz, because all my important Pogeys are on Platinum (and I can always reset the time on my brother's DS; heck, his is 12 hours off anyway :P )

That...seems kind of pointless. Plus I'd rather not run the risk of screwing up time based events. Theres also the chance of hacking accusations.

No because I thought I read somewhere (Guide?) it messes up the game. And I wouldn't want to risk it. heh

It seems like kind of a pointless thing to do. If it makes you happy then that's cool, but to me it seems like a waste of time. That and what basically everyone else has said. I wouldn't risk getting hacking accusations.
