FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokeball Pattern Vivillon
https://twitter.com/Junichi_Masuda/status/632933046308593664 i this normal Masuda tell his fan where he going? ……..is that mean any announcement ?
Interesting, since Worlds are being held in Boston…
#GetHype
I’m pretty sure its already confirmed he’s gonna be at Worlds
San Francisco, whoop whoop! Maybe they’ll announce the game before Worlds! I’m getting very excited right about now!
Plot twist. The next region is based on San Francisco
Hell yes! I would invite you all here for a launch party if that happened but you know…I’m in high school. Also, his choices are very interesting. Lyon happens to be in southern France…
Southern France? Southern Kalos????? hm? Hm? Eh? Eh? lol
That’s exactly what I’m saying! And maybe the neighboring region is based on London/England? For some reason I find this tweet to be more important than it seems.
Well I suppose England could b a new region, but I’m not sure yet lol. I think the Pokemon Company’s EU branch is in London so that may just b what he’s doing there. I could b wrong tho hahaha
You’re still in high school? I thought you graduated like last year….
Nah man, I’m going to be a Junior a week from today. I graduate in 2017. Don’t worry about it, lots of people confuse me for a college student in real life too. I have no idea why, but they do.
Woot Woot Junior Year Buddies
I’m not sure if it’s normal all the time, but b4 XY was announced he did talk a lot about traveling and what not so maybe this means some thing hahaha
He announces where he’s going or been a lot. That said, it doesn’t mean this isn’t interesting.
I try to post a single discussion thread about the new Pokemon (since I got tired of waiting for someone else to make one) and the mods delete it. Apparently it’s a “repost” and they’ve had “many” discussion threads. Thanks r/pokemon for reminding me why I don’t use you.
Alright i want a little feed back
based on what my fellow chat “brethren”
that everyone is o.k with hacking Pokemon, that it’s o.k only because it’s “efficient” compared to regular breeding
nobody thinks that isn’t wrong?
especially when they fabricate Competitive Legends with near perfect IVs
Yes i understand that most are essentially that same are regular Pokemon but just done faster but still cheating in any forms is never right,
and i do understand the concept of ownership of ones property is also a factor, but in the end if you plan to still use said hacked Pokemon is still considered cheating
Now i might be just wasting my breath since i can’t force this morality onto others but if more people can just wake up and see that this is wrong maybe we can make a change
It won’t change anything because all its doing is speeding up the process of making a pokemon fit for battle. It’s a game so let people do what they want with THEIR game.
But what about those who actually spent the time breeding hatching and chain breeding all their Pokemon, its basically a gigantic middle finger to those who did it the right way
I wish I did not have to breed. It’s really tedious and sometimes all I want to do is junp right into a battle. Having a pokemon obtained by hacking is fine as long as its legitimate. If they beat you then it’s all down to skill and nothing more. There is no skill in breeding and I find it unfun.
Define Legitimate
The moves, stats, and ability can be obtained legally.
would you make them shiny?
and what about Legendary Pokemon?
If the pokemon was easily bred then no I would not make them shiny. If I happened to like the shiny and it was an event pokemon I would, It’s extremely difficult to get perfect ivs on legendary pokemon and an RNG system has yet to be found for X and Y since you can’t breed legends I believe this is ok for people who want to use them.
Alright Events and Legends are kinda a red area, i mean then it’s basically hacking the pokemon to give it moves/abilities only the event Pokemon would know so then you’re cheating, best we can’t breed them or guarantee its IVs because its the only fair that they’re wild
I don’t have a problem with genning when it comes to competitive pokemon specifically. Because at the end of the day what do you gain from having a pokemon that you spent time breeding/hatching vs someone who just genned it in, if you are both using them competitively, and no one is gaining an advantage? Obviously people that exploit certain rules of the game(that are not possible) such as illegal moves on pokemon, illegal items, etc. I believe those are wrong. The amount of time you spent getting a mon when your plan is to just use them competitively in a fair match really shouldn’t matter in my opinion
You asked for opinions yet you keep knocking down everything that everyone else says so what was the point in asking in the first place ?
Where I draw the line is when it comes to hacked Shiny Pokemon. I mean, let’s all be honest here, some of us just don’t have the time. Not only am I a college student, I also work and have social or other obligations that I must attend to as well. When it comes to playing Pokemon, I don’t want to have to GRIND up competitive ‘mons because that’s just more WORK, I just want to have fun and play some online battles. I’ve only hacked in a few ‘mons to my game, but that’s when the whole QR code glitch was exposed and I wanted to test it out myself. But I don’t see a problem with hacking regular, competitive Pokemon, it’s the same thing as a bred Pokemon, but making them shiny though is overkill. If I had all the time in the world to play video games, I’d definitely do it the correct way every single time. But I only have about an hour or so to myself every day, if I’m lucky. I don’t want to spend that time grinding, I want to have fun. And the only time that hacking can and should be seen as immoral is when it comes to official events and tournaments. You have no excuse to used hacked ‘mons then.
I’ve been hearing a lot of that, but that still shouldn’t be the motivation to cheat, this is the game
to raise the Pokemon, to spend time working on it to hatch the perfect egg and raise it into greatness, and hard work is the price for greatness
Well, I used to be really against hacking, I really did, but then I slowly came to the realization that hacked are the same as normal pokemon, but fabricated by an easier process. Many people in competitive scene like at world’s and stuff hack their pokemon, hacking only makes the process quicker, it doesn’t give their pokemon some sort of advantage over others. If someone hacks though, they should just be honest about it. There is no need to lie and say “Omg I found this 6IV shiny in the wild.” And when it is legendaries, specially BST 600 it’s basically a pseudo legendary, and pseudos can be countered just as the BST 600 legendaries. I personally don’t hack, but I can see why people do hack.
“And when it is legendaries, specially BST 600 it’s basically a pseudo legendary” your words make zero sense almost every Legendary Pokemon’s bst is at least 600 with the exception of Phione (if you even consider it) and basically a Pseudo Legend makes very little sense since they basically have legend stats (and Mega Evolutions to boost them)
Well pseudo legendaries with BST of 600 and same with lots of legendaries BST 600, so they don’t have “legendary stats” it’s the same as pseudo legendaries. Unless you think Pseudos are OP
I don’t really care for the ones above 600, I don’t like battling them in the first place
No my problem is that you seem to be comparing Legendary Pokemon to Pseudo Legendary Pokemon (which by fan definition is because they have extremely high stats)
I’m just saying I don’t see a problem with hacking in general, sorry to compare the two, legendaries or not
But what about all those hours spent breeding and working on the Pokemon you wanted to use
that the sheer fact that they can just generate perfect Pokemon at the click of a button or the impute of a few codes shouldn’t that outrage you
even more so when they make competitive legends
Did you not see my what I said, I don’t care what people do, as long as it’s still a fair pokemon, I am okay with it. It does not outrage me, because being outraged by that is pointless. They do what they want to do, I do what I do.
If people want to hack, let them. But don’t let them online. Some people actually care about playing by the rules, and I say let them have the privilege of battling online.
But they did and that’s why i’m so huffy on the subject
They’re changing it. I have some pokemon that were hacked and given away on twitter and I couldn’t use them.
I think what people are most ok with is the hacking itself. What people don’t want is to c them online in competitions. I’m fine with hacking bc in some cases it’s useful and also can b fun to have around at times. I don’t personally compete, but I can c y people don’t want them around. As long as ur not hurting anyone I think hacking is fine.
Edit: Aslo I dont think it’s fair to make an argument against hacking as a morality issue. That makes it almost like those against hacking r saying that people that do hack r bad people and to that I don’t agree. It’s not fair to say someone is a bad person when 1st u prolly don’t kno them personally and 2nd hacking largely has nothing to do with character and morals.
But people DO used Hacked Pokemon Online and In competition, everyone claims that all the people in Worlds use them
I just don’t understand how using them is fun, the sheer only reason you’d hack a Pokemon is to use competitively i just do not see any other reason why people would go to such lengths to fabricate Pokemon other then competitive purposes
Hacking should never ever EVAR be fine since its basically abusing/forcing the game’s code to give you things you could already get but too damn lazy to actually work for
Again I agree they should never b used in competition, but also again I really don’t think it’s up to a single person to say it’s wrong whole sale. I’m sure there r plenty of things that u find fun (which may include Pokemon in general) that someone else finds boring or stupid. The fact of the matter is that people do find it fun to experiment and as long as they don’t abuse their power to hack for the sake of hurting others, whether it b online normally or in official competitions, it should b find to do what they want with their games. U act as if they’re experimenting with real animals and that they should b locked away for crimes against humanity or something lol
really don’t think they’re experimenting, you just don’t make competitive Pokemon for fun, you use them against people, and how’d you think the person would react knowing that the other person hacked everything
*sigh*……but ur lumping every person that hacks into a single group…..yes sure there r people that use hacking for such purposes, but saying that every person who has ever hacked or ever will hack is wrong for even trying is just outlandish…..There r plenty of people that enjoy hacking just for the fact that they like working with code or bc they want to c what they can make. Both of those things r great and I almost wish I knew more about coding so I could join them! For those people, it’s almost like they’re learning. They find it interesting to c what really makes a Pokemon game work. It’s just not fair to say every hacker that ever existed is out to cheat for the sake of cheating……anyway that’s my piece on the whole subject. If we end up agreeing with each other we end up agreeing. If we end up still disagreeing with each other then that’s fine too. I think I’ve said all I need to say for now tho lol
Alright, people who hack for experimental reasons and for “fun” is just a very shitty defense, this is hacking Pokemon and using them online
Well that’s ur opinion so I guess in the end we disagree……
I just organized my Bank into three categories: Events, Shinies (separate boxes for Gens 1-5 and 6) and Living Dex. That’s all I’m ever going to need it for anyway. Completing that Living Dex is going to be fun, but I probably won’t start it until the next game.
Gl with the Living Dex, that was the first thing I did after completing Alpha Sapphire (and haven’t used it since :P)
I feel like the Bank was made for the creation of a Living Dex. It makes it way too easy to finish the National Pokedex in all future games, but it’s a status symbol!
Living Dex is a very good project to start.
What’s a living dex?
Every Pokemon ever in your PC or Bank. In order usually.
Nice job with that tweet guys xD
This is y I follow Pokejungle on twitter hahaha Paul and the team here r the ultimate trolls sometimes and prolly have the best sense of humor of all the main Pokemon fan sites around. Both Joe Merrick and Whatever the guys name is that own Pokebeach take themselves too seriously lol
Yeah…we’re going to have a revolt if nothing is revealed. Moderator approved.
May I ask anime watchers a question? Why Japanese anime has beautiful music from the games and English anime changes them?
for me i just watch it subbed version not just for music but character voice also .
The dub tries to have more western music because the think that the American kids’ll like it.
