6th Gen Wonder Trade Dangers

[Sotani]

I don't know If there's already a post on this, I did a quick glance but not much of a search, but I recently found out that there has been dangerous Mystery Eggs and Corrupt Pokemon floating around on Wonder Trade and another person got a corrupt Mystery egg randomly from his game and It can corrupt your pokemon!

Since I can't post links, I can't show you where I got this information but there is a video on youtube about it.

They say
-Make no attempt to hatch, touch, move the egg
-Get all of your pokemon out of the box it appeared in
-you cannot release or delete it so don't try

I don't know if its totally true but better safe than sorry.

damn then i'll stop doing wonder trades for awhile until this problem is fixed... :/

 

[Perriechu]

Could they even fix this problem, though? There's not many things they could do except release a patch that stops eggs from being traded.

BUT then again, do we have 100% confirmed proof that this is real? How do people even get hold of eggs like this?

Well, we have evidence that the games can be hacked. For all we know, others have hacked as well and those Pokemon are converted to Bad Eggs when they are sent to Wonder Trade.

I've tried Wonder Trading regular eggs and it won't let you.

I read some of the comments and one said "I heard that hackers corrupt pokemon and when the other person gets them, they turn into mystery eggs from a Mystery Zone"

Again, it's all a bunch of "I heard this" or "My friend said" or "Someone told me" But a guy named Bishopped on youtube has a video titled "Evil Eggs from Mystery Zone" showing his corrupt eggs.

Eggs that can be traded in wonder trade, now that's new for me.
But whatever, i'll stay safe, I guess.

edit: Oh, scartch that than. I'll better watch that video for myself to stay safe for certain.

I hope this is false. First we have the Lumiose Saving bug and the the GTS filter problem, which were fortunately fixed.:) Now this! I guess I'll cut off the connection as soon as I see someone trading me an Egg, just to be safe! I might lose my offer Pokemon, but at least I got to save my whole team and other Pokemon. {:3}

I've confirmed that regular Eggs cannot be traded via Wonder Trade. However, I have two different Vivillon in my game that will basically prove wrong the theory that Eggs themselves are limited to your game. This tells me Bad Eggs might also be tradable, and if someone sets up an extermination service, it might help those who are affected by the problem.

Gamefreak has basically set it up in a way that the person receiving the hack is punished while a good Pokémon is rewarded to the person sending the hack. The cheater wins. Isn't that life sometimes? Not fair, and they need to find a way to check the Pokémon against their standards BEFORE the Pokémon is up for offer. Has anyone ever been kicked out of a trade with a hacked Pokémon? The only fix to this, unfortunately, is removing the thing that turned them into Bad Eggs and letting them through, then trying again with the 7th generation.

Makoto Tachibana - in reply to the above post, your data is already exchanged. I don't know if flicking the wireless off will do any good (though I'd try it if I see an Egg, then try to quit the game without saving). You should never shut off the system directly in this scenario as it can cause your entire game to be lost.

It's sad to see in 6th gen we are going to start pretty badly due to glitches and hacks. I might end up quitting this gen if this keeps up.
