This has probably been asked before and probably somewhere else (since I'm not exactly sure where this should go), but I heard that catching Shiny Pokémon via an Action Replay is considered non-legit. I know it's also cheating, but what makes it different from catching a Shiny Pokémon the regular method? I don't think it makes its OT, ID, location, natures or stats any different, does it?

Where have you been lol?
Thats been going on for ages...its nothing new at all.
Errr

no

when I first came here,there were actually good threads that didnt have the same junk as other threads, and there were actually IV threads. Also what is this thing with everyone claiming to have the number one trade thread? Its getting annoying very fast...

IDK...some people just thought they could copy me....
And Syndrome, when I came here too the trade corner was as you described it, however, I'm simply saying I don't think HGSS is directly responsible for the whole "infestation" of noobs and noob threads.
Its been getting worse and worse for over a month...

*Thinks we needz morez mods and stricter rules*

Better trade threads are starting to show up though... But yes, it is really annoying how so many people seem to somehow miss the quick trade thread. And I also feel its so unnecessary to have so many "all your pokedex needs here" threads...

I wouldn't mind having two subforums for the trading center. One being a "pokedex needs" forum and the other an "Iv/Ev" forum. I think that would fix alot of the problems because most of the 'moved' and 'locked' threads are being created for simple pokedex requests.

You know..I keep hearing the mods talk about "changes will be implemented in the trade corner soon" Yet they never happen....no offense to the great and powerful TB
I vote that I few more mods are appointed, and that trade threads must be approved.
Extra work, but it could help, and more mods we balance it out.
At the very least, stricter penalties for those who ignore the rules (and some do it repeatedly) and for those who spam these same threads.

That is correct. 95% of people here clone...though its illegal to offer cloning here.
It's illegal to offer cloning?

I swear, every second or third thread I see states that the Pokemon are cloned. Unless you mean cloning services.. in which case I don't really see much of a difference, except they're performing a service instead of training. ^ ^

/2c
i think that idea is excellent..
two subforums with the titles "collector's trade corner" and "competitive battler's trade corner" may work better
What about threads that offer both?

You cannot offer in your thread to clone for people due to the possiblity of somebodies poke's being stolen. But it's not against the rules to clone in general.

And I agree that it should be alittle more strict, however I still don't want to scare people off by being to harsh.

Well I don't know what to tell you. I didn't make the rule. Personally I would like people to be able to offer cloning so that I can know who can and cannot do it.

And to first time offenders of simple rules such as using the simple request thread, I don't think they should get anything but a warning. After that though I think it should be pretty harsh because that is such an easy rule to follow.

Not as perhaps picky as Smogon, who infract for misspeeling (xD) but maybe a point or two...
O__O!

Along with that, if we're discussing possible changes, I'd like to see a rule or some sort of way to easily split thread types (RNGs, clones, all legit, etc). Probably just me being picky but I'd like it if there was a rule that thread runners had to clearly state how each Pokemon they're offering came to be.

Oh I know, I'd just like to be able to easily differentiate between different types. ^ ^ Personal preference, I don't really like receiving clones or RNGs, and it could be a nice addition to the rules if you had to just say where the Pokemon came from.

I'll stop ranting!

Clones and RNG's are usually regarded as legit though...
It'd be interesting to see how the trade corner (or trading in general) would look like if they weren't.

Trading shops couldn't operate without cloning. Or atleast they would never grow without a ridiculous amount of work from the owners. As they would constantly have to replace what they trade. That would not be fun at all.
