When I RNG'ed my Kyurem I went for the best spread possible because of Black/White Kyurem. That Kyurem won't make a good Black Kyurem! D:
Do you have a Kyurem that would make a good Black that you can clone and gift me when Pokébank comes out?

I just want to ask, but why are shiny mews considered hacks? occam's razor?
Eww your Shiny profile pic doesn't move like the non Shiny one did!!

The only possible way to get a shiny Mew is the Japanese Faraway Island Mew. I think it was just that a lot of people were offering 6IV shiny Mew, which i'm fairly sure aren't possible to get by any means. :o

I know that. But why ban all shiny mews from being traded here and not just the 6IV ones (or whatever) then?

Because a very long explanation that I've typed out 10 billion times a day @[email protected]

To even have any possibility of getting a shiny Mew you had to have a Japanese Emerald game and had gotten the Old Sea Chart when the event was available. You then had to reset thousands and thousands of time to get it to be shiny, although I doubt anyone did this because it wasn't known it could be shiny back then. Then later on RNG was discovered and you could then get shinies but by that time I very highly doubt anyone had still kept their Old Sea Chart that entire time. Therefore, the chances of finding a legit shiny Mew are about as likely as you finding a million dollars laying on the ground. It's not going to happen pretty much. So every shiny Mew can be safely assumed to be hacked or the item was hacked in to obtain it. Either way Mew is hacked and since hacks aren't allowed to be traded here shiny Mews aren't allowed to be traded here.

As a note, 6 IV shiny Mews are always 100% hacked, as is shiny 6 IV Jirachis.

Figured as much, occam's razor in a nutshell. I don't think I've even seen you (or tabor62) explain in that much detail, though.

You could've made some sort of announcement on it (just like the one you have up now) with link to the reason why you have banned shiny Mews before carrying "it" out so you didn't have to type a bajillion times lol.

js, but there wasn't really a concept of shiny locked Pokemon back then, so who knows some Japanese dude tried to SR for it. But I do see your general point, there's just far too few chances of a real legitimate Japanese Emerald shiny mew lying around compared to those that are genned.

Me and Tabor both have, just in PMs to people who ask or offer it. We're working on something to let everyone know about hacks and what to look out for though. Just so much to do D:
Hehehe, I'm guilty of receiving one of those messages.

Future reference, type something out explaining every little detail, save it and then you can Copy/Paste when you need too. This is how most of my planned out posts go. Especially when Modding a page/group.

EDIT: Actually come to think of it, everything we talked about yesterday would make an extremely helpful resource thread you can link people too. List all the Event Legendary and explain why/why not, in regards to them being Shiny and/or 6IV.

Speaking of event shinies... I really wish Azure Flute was obtainable so we could have shiny Arceus running around...
Are Dream World Pokemon locked to not being Shiny or something? I do remember that Arceus was some sort of DW Event.

And speaking of events, let's say I where to play a Gen 4 game and use the Walk Through Walls code and get to Shaymin... then I caught said Shaymin. Would the Shaymin be considered a hack even if nothing was done to the Shaymin itself?

All Pokémon gained directly from the Dream World are Shiny Locked.

Yes this website considers it a hack if hacking takes place at any time while you are gaining the Pokémon.

Ah, alright then, I kind of assumed that was the case. :)

I'm pretty sure I've gotten a legit version of event-only Pokes at various points, so I'm going to make sure that I only transfer the legit ones.

That's fair, you've had all the games except BW and XY faster than us.

Whatever, as long as it's progressing. I just hope we get Pokébank by this weekend. Otherwise I'll have to wait another two weeks.

Lugia, you have made me angry with you Shiny Vivillon collection while I STILL have not gotten a Shiny Sandstorm. Because of this, I will suspend my Vivillon breeding to try and breed a Shiny version of your favorite Pokémon, FUNBRO!!

They didn't blow it. The stores that did the early release did. I heard of one that really got shut down for doing it but I wonder about the others? Ehhh.

We are talking about Pokébank. You seem to be talking about the game release.

DW Pokemon are shiny locked, so stuff like shiny multiscale Lugia are hacked as well.

Do you have a Kyurem that would make a good Black that you can clone and gift me when Pokébank comes out?
Of course! You can all have my 30/30/31/31/30/30 shiny Kyurem! (Best spread I could find that would make a good Kyurem B and W.)

and i will love to see that day
that day is mine
