Wi-Fi Trade Corner Daily Chit-Chat

Does hacking a Pokemon to appear in the wild against the rules?

Depends on what you are doing. If you are defeating it, I am really okay. Your game.
If you are capturing and trading it, I am not okay.
Battling with legal hacks is okay; tell your opponent in advance.

Also, are hacked items against the rules as well? I would think not as most people offer a rare candy leveling service on their trade threads.

Again, depends if your client accepts it or not. Most cannot tell or perhaps do not care. You cannot offer virtually unobtainable items, however (e.g. Cherish Balls).

Not to sound like a jerk or anything, but why is Horizon a Moderator of the Trade Center? I honestly have never seen him moderating here like TwilightBlade and Erik Destler, or maybe thats just me.

Considered timezones? He lives in Europe while the other 3 live in North America. Less forum activity during GMT than EST timezone. Less reports.

Finally, somebody that agrees with me..
Sorry if anyone finds this insulting, but simply put, why be a mod when you cannot mod?

I "cannot" mod, and yet I still do. Activity =/= a good moderator. However, I do agree that stable activity is a key component of being a moderator, but you must realize that most of PC's staff is preoccupied with life, families, friends, education, work, hobbies, etc. A thread asking for a Piplup is not the end of the world. It will be moved eventually. Carry about your day.



Mkay, so I gleaned this thread yesterday, and from what I can remember, here is my take on previous discussions:

1. Please do not suggest "more mods" because adding more eggs does not make a better cake. Not being mean, just honestly blunt.

2. Thread moderation was the big change we have been discussing, but I felt that it was too extreme to implement in such a busy forum (especially since the HGSS wave). Of course, some here may think, COOL, but what about us approving..? At Wifi's insane new thread rate...? We need to recharge, you know.

3. Feel free to ask if a trader's Pokemon are cloned, RNGd, etc. Generally, I do not think anyone would have a fuss over providing such information... If you ever feel uneasy, do not trade with the person, lawl. ;o

4. LOVE that redirect to rules suggestion; I saw that feature utilized on another forum (and they had a quiz too, lol, okay not for us) but I learned a lot in 10 minutes. -hardly reads other rules- :3

5. Do not like Pokedex thread; I believe that that will cause others to ask for a shiny thread, event thread, IV/EV thread, etc. Um, no. Just browse/search shops... Not that hard. You should step in a shop to see what they are offering, because the title will not always indicate the offers (We have McDonalds, not McFries or McBurgers on the huge sign, thanks). :D

Hmm, tousche on that one TwilightBlade! Still, people do have to wonder when theres four mods and you don't see all of them helping at times. Its good to learn information like this ^_^

 

[Deja Vu]

Follow up question for you Twilight - If you train a legit Pokemon and clone it via action replay, is it (the clone) against PC rules to trade?

 

[Detox]

Yeah thats sorta how people clone pokemon for their threads these days so i'm assuming its not.

 

[SCV058]

Every time I seez a thread with for a Magikarp...I roll over and die...xD
Just kidding.

Every time I seez a thread with for a Magikarp...I roll over and WOFL...xD
Just kidding.

Every time I see Quick Trade Thread chatting I get distracted by all the quick chatting.
When it happens, offers and requests get ignored aand/or shot down a page or two.
Troll House Cookies, anyone?

"is that thing ready"
"still got it?"
"let me check"
"oh, yeah, my fc is (a bunch of numbers)

Wish the rules were read more often by people.
Wish people would PM/VM that stuff. Eye sore.

 

[Detox]

Every time I see complaining in this DCC I roll over and die.

Gee, I wonder if anyone will notice :x

 

[Detox]

Why are you here noob.

You dont even have WiFi

 

[Salvation]

I do have wifi, I just can't access it =/

 

[Detox]

Which translates into you don't have wifi.

 

[TwilightBlade]

elheroeoscuro: He does log in every now and then anyway, lol.

An-san Rebelleon: I cannot afford to pull my hair out. :(

Deja Vu: Like I said in PM, cloning is okay; cloning services are not.

Syndrome & Thoughts: Just kiss and make up already. ^_^

Cannot wait until spring break -impatient-

 

[Detox]

Blade go moderate yourself a new theme, I do NOT swing that way >:

 

[Alternative]

So, I tried out RNG today, and hatched myself my very first shiny!
Feebas!

I was wondering if we're allowed to open threads selling graphics for pokemon? I like making banners and such and I see a lot of people looking for them in trading threads.

& since I couldn't get answers in the hgss help thread I also am wondering:

does anyone know if you can RNG to get a shiny in hgss? I'm interested in doing so since I heard it's not a hack and it looks doable O.o but I think there's only a dp version? Does it work the same way as the diamond/pearl because hgss doesn't have the apps. Thanks in advance.

1) Graphics for pokemon? Probably you can, but you should VM a mod, rather than posting here, since they'll be more likely to see it.

2) RNG is doable in HGSS using the PokeGear, but I do not believe that Smogon has developed a full guide yet.
