Oooh now I feel guilty. Told you to be careful though. How's your tongue?
See why I named my green Druddigon after it XD
Allright then sit back XD although it's not really about trades, just talking to ppl...
The biggest thing was this guy that put up on youtube a video of a live encounter and catching of a shiny Reshiram. Yeah you heard me right, a Reshiram. And he claimed it was legit, although it's clearly impossible. You know what he did? He downloaded a ROM and inputted a cheat code to remove the shiny check block from that legendary. And then proceeded to SR for it until it appared. "it's legit" he said "'cause it's still a 1/8192 shiny!" Now how the hell can a pkmn that comes from a cheated up save file be considered legit? It's not even a real game, but a ROM!!! The thing is, many people mistake legitimacy with fairness. RNGs might not be seen as fair, because they are planned and (once you learn how to) fairly easy to get, but they are legit. Hacks aren't, and the fact that you still spent time on it doesn't change that, because you corrupted part of the internal game code. For one, I despise clones because it doesn't feel right to have two absolutely identical pkmn, but I do know they are legit as they are formed from a glitch that is normally found in the game. So there is no "I think/don't think it's legit". There is no "think". It either is or isn't.
*breathes*
Ahem. Sorry about that ^^"
