Here's what I'm talking about: you want to go on wi-fi for a certain Pokemon that is normally in some circumstances very easy to obtain (like for me I wanted an additional Piplup) but upon inspecting the trade scene every one of the trainers wanted something insane like a level 1 Mew or Deoxys or Darkrai or something that obviously could not legally be caught. And then on the flip side, you put up a Pokemon for trade that you believe is a fair trade (I put up a Pikachu LV41 asking for a Poochyena any level) and I got one that was not only a LV1, but was also so blatantly caught using a hack device or Action Replay, and now I can't bring myself to use it (mainly due to it not even having a moveset at all...)
Why do people bring themselves to cheat in a game? I'm not flaming or ranting im just kinda disappointed that people would find it in their hearts to cheat at something as simple as a Pokemon game...can't nintendo or someone put a filter on the Wifi trading to try to handle this issue?

Pokemon games are more complex than you think.

I'm okay with hacking as long as there are no interactions with other people unless they're fine with it. The GTS system is obviously flawed so I personally stay away from it as possible. If you do receive a hacked Pokemon, you might as well release it.

Once I got a level 99 yanmega that was caught at level 99 in the Snowpoint Temple.. stupid noobs, if you have to hack, at least make it a good hack. :/

I also find pokesav a bit unfair at times.. while you are breeding for good IVs and natures, some people can just input the correct natures and IVs.. oh well, they don't get that feeling of accomplishment (sp?) that us non-hackers do when we breed a good pokemon.

:)

I put a Groudon on the GTS, asking for a Salamence, and I got one that was met at Lv. 52 caught on Rt. 224. It took a little bit of searching, because I thought it was a possible swarm Pokemon, but it was hacked.

If you don't want hacks, don't use the GTS. The only time I use it is when I want to give away some rare Pokémon I don't need (i.e. when I restarted my save file). The trade section on this forum (or any other) is far better than the GTS, if a little harder to use (since you both have to be online at the same time).

I have two saves.
One on my flashcart, and one on my original Platinum. (Since I couldn't backup the save)
Anyway, I'm only going to cheat for non-intentional things, like if I want a pokemon of sort, I could get it by using Pokesav)
GTS looks like a great concept, but it was screwed because of noobs who can't play normal. (OR use cheats for non-intentional / gamebreaking use)

I stopped paying attention to the GTS a long time ago. There's no use in it, really. Well, only if you just started a new game and want the other two starters.

The only Pokemon I cheated to get were the insanely rare and hard to find ones way back when Nintendo had events that I couldn't get to, like the Mew & Celebi events in Gen I & II.

"Angry" is far too strong a word, but I do think that hackers are extremely pathetic. If they can't even do something as simple as capturing a legendary (that is: a legendary accessible in the game without the use of cheating devices) or train a Bagon up to a Salamance, you've got to wonder what skills they have in the real world. 'Cause srsly. Not exactly rocket science.

Most people are fine when it comes to capturing legendaries and completing the Pokedex. They usually turn to hacking when it's about breeding for good IVs or soft-resetting for good IVs on one-time Pokemon. I know I certainly don't like spending days/weeks/months on those two tedious tasks. I'd rather quit Pokemon altogether.

Lol. Whatever that meant.
And I don't have a Kyogre ^^

This.

Pokemon is just a game; release the hacked Pokemon and move along. What can you do - you are typically trading with strangers. Are you going to strangle someone over losing a bit of 0s and 1s...?

In all seriousness, avoid offering your rare Pokemon on the GTS, because you have a high chance of being scammed on such a silly trading system. Instead, either capture your own Pokemon or trade with people you trust.

This discussion seems unnecessary and repetitive, so in order to prevent future posts from regurgitating the usual "I get angry" or "I don't care," a magical fox has appeared.
