5th Gen Quick Shiny question....

[L-Plate]

I dont know if this should belong in the trade section or not but........

I was wondering if shiny pokemon caught using the action replay code "Wild Pokemon Shiny" count as hacked pokemon?

I allways thought hacked pokemon counted as cheats, but that single code counts.

 

[Saerith]

pretty sure they do as that code modifies the pokemon.

 

[L-Plate]

Yeah, but you can do anything to them as you would any other pokemon.
You can breed them, trade them and evolve them and they dont do anything to your game.
Not like the pokemon modifier coded ones.

 

[Saerith]

you can breed hacked pokemon easily, evolve them and they do nothing to your game either. It sounds like your using a flash cart with some dodgy cheat codes if its messing up your game.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Yes, they are hacked (as is anything involving Action Replay). The only exception to that is by RNGing (random number generator) shiny Pokemon which actually doesn't count as hacked Pokemon. The only way for a Pokemon to not be hacked is for it to be obtained with the aforementioned method, captured in-game, traded from someone legitimately or recieved from a Nintendo event. You can read more about how to RNG abuse here, which is a safer way to get shiny Pokemon without actually being classified as hacked. :)

In the future, ask these sorts of things in Quick Questions.
