    I was thinking last night, about being able to play online with Pokemon Black and White.

    Than I thought. Wouldn't it be scary if it could be hacked and we lose everything we have?

    With all the Action Replayers and Game Sharkees going around, I wouldn't be surprised if someone made a software to hack online play.

    That's why I'm a little scared about it.

    I don't want to put a prized Pokemon in it and have it hacked away.

    Or worse, corrupt all my data.

    What do you guys think?
     
    Nah itl be safe dont worry gamefreak arent that stupid.... or..... are.... they dumdumdum
     
    Don't see this happening any time soon.
     
    It doesnt save after you walk into the room, so just turn it off.;\\
     
    Ah thanks for the idea

    *Starts to work on the program to screw up everyones fun*

    MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
     
    Wait...don't we like transfer our save file online, play some minigames, then transfer our save file back to the DS?
     
    Thank you Technogod, for your power to fix haxorxs!
     
    Most likely it will act like a pokewalker. Where you transfer data to computer but it stays on card and then your data on the computer will update the game.
     
    If someone did make the program, it wouldn't matter. Only you can hack your save file. It's not like someone will sneak into your house and hack it.
     
    Even if this worked it would take a while for them to download all your data, edit, then upload to **** up your game save.
     
    A lot of people here aren't seeing the threat. You don't need to be at the same computer to hack data, think of viruses, trojan horses and similar programs. Since it is online play they could make the program target the network and screw up peoples data. It's very possible that someone could do something like that but I wouldn't call it likely.
     
    No, I don't mean your save file in your game. I mean the one you upload online.

    People have hacked accounts online before.
     
    Your save is still on your cart. Nobody's sending something from a computer to your DS cart, and absolutely nobody is making a virus on their freakin' Nintendo DS and sending it over Nintendo WFC to hack your DS cart.

    This isn't the big, wide, open Internet where you can force people to download stuff against their will. This is Nintendo WFC. Wtf are you going to do, attach a virus to a Pokemon and trade it? Doesn't work like that.
