I have a love for Totodile and can't get my hands on it, so my brothers friend who hacked all his pokemon offered me one but I am against ALL hacked pokemon in every way.
So I figured I would breed the Feraligatr with a (unhacked) Ditto
and train up that Totodile and release or trade back the hacked Feraligatr.
So I was wondering does the newly hatched Totodile count as being hacked or not? Cause if it does I have no interist in it.

If it still has perfect IVs across the board, I would say it's hacked
I've never had any experience with hacked pokemon, I just thought it was a way of getting shinies and rare pokemon. I'll look out for that.

I say as long as the parent dosen't have illegal moves, illegal abilities, hacked perfect iv's, or jacked up stats; why not?

Well, do you belive enough in the game that blood line exists, and that your pokemon will call a hacked pokemon its father, and it itslef be hacked?

That makes no sense to me. When a Pokemon is hatched it's stats are generated randomly according to the base stats stored in the game's database.
Moves are given based on what the mother/father knew. Most hacked in moves arent egg moves and cannot be passed on. It makes no sense to consider a completely individual Pokemon hacked because it's 'parent' was hacked. Seriously, we are talking about data here. and the game is programmed in a way that usually prevents Hacked stats and IVs/EVs from being passed to the offspring.

Seriously, If you breed a pokemon from a hacked pokemon it's NOT hacked.
Hacked only applies to one pokemon and it's 'hacked' attributes arent passed on to the child. The offspring is legit.
Surely it doesn't count as a hacked Pokémon strictly talking. It's a normal egg, it's just that it came from somewhere, right? A hacked Pokémon, thus your egg is not completely legit. But there isn't something like semi-legit, so it's simple. Without hacking, would you have the Pokémon? No. So reconsider it.

An example would be if you cheated to have wild Mewtwo on Route 201. It's a normal Mewtwo, but you shouldn't have it if you hadn't cheated. This egg thing is an excuse to say it's legit. Really just because you take time (and very little) to hatch an egg or catch it (in the case of Mewtwo) it doesn't mean you really did the right thing to get it. Why do you think they can only be obtained by completing the Hoenn Dex in Emerald and by completing the entire Colosseum storyline? Because they are supposed to be rare, and it's not fair comparing completing the Hoenn Dex to walking about 2000 steps. Really I hate when people say they have legit Pokémon if they are there because of cheats. (Nothing against you, Mr.May16)

the pokemon isnt HACKED< but it is still Unfairly gotten. i spent at least a month completing my hoenn dex, and i had to choose only one. since everyone chooses cyndaquil or totdial, i chose chickorita, as i thought it would be worth more later on, also meganium is cool. Byt he way, it had **** IVs, but i still got something ncie for one of her eggs

Someone that agrees with me. It's not a hacked Pokémon strictly speaking, but it's surely NOT a legit Pokémon.

It's hard enough breeding the Pokemon the fact that he got those IVs doesn't make it hacked because you don't know exactly why those IVs where passed on. He got all perfect IVs the chances of that are ridiculously low(6 IVs: 0.01% chance from 2 different parents mind you) and three of them where probably generated at random.The chances for getting all 31s is even lower than that.If he even had an edge at that point it probably didn't matter. The game still saw fit to give him those IVs. I say it is legit as any other pokemon.
what are you looking at?

If it wasn't for the hacked Pokémon, you wouldn't get your supposedly legit Pokémon, so it counts as a hacked Pokémon. (At least in your consciousness)
There is no way that hacked Pokemon guaranteed him a perfect egg there was a way (for lack of a better word) better chance he would get an average egg. You act like he hacked the egg ,but he didn't. There is no way the hacked Pokemon did all the work,It's all up to you, but thats what you should be thinking. How many times do you people need to be told?

Have you been smoking shroomish? the game does have a type of error decection, but we shouldn't just say yeah, thats the best way to detect it. heres an example. a guyu decides to hack (what an idiot), give an umbreon wonder guard and spacial rend and 999 in all stats. this moron will be most likely be rejected by PBR, but what if he makes a new umbreon, totaly normal with natural abilitys, just created unatuly, then i'm not sure how that woudl result. but thother posters were right, the hacke dpokemon doesnt "donate" any of its coding to the offspring, the child just has someone of tis IVs determined by the differenc ebtween the parents. so they both have an equal role in its potential.
