4TH GEN Hack-Check Thread (New Rule Read first post.)

Status
Not open for further replies.
I know that Id no of 00000 are "valid" numbers in the for that entry, but if the RNG can produce it is another matter, is something I really don't know about. Proving your claims should have been.

This thread is really for help people to work out if they have hack or not. I know you can hack a Pokémon that this thread will be able to not be able detect. I'd going to say Most visitor don't care about the difference between Legal and Legit.

Legal - Pokémon is as far as we can tell a real Pokémon. May be a hack, but we can't tell.
Legit - short for Legitimate. Pokémon is not a hack and a real one.

Some of you should have word things better. Now you know some of my Thread shuts read "Shutting- Rule X Broken - GPD rules."

...I've got no idea what you're trying to say. As far as the ID being possible to be produced by abusing the RNG... why wouldn't it be possible? As far the hack-checking abilities of thread go, it's very easy to fool, since really, you can't check the PID, and you're limited to the information they provide (andthey frequently forget to put information, which obviously doesn't make it any easier).

I wanna ask you something.

I recieved a fair few manaphys from the GTS, but the Date Obtained and the Egg Obatained date are different.

eg

Trainer Memo July 9, 2012
Pokemon Ranger egg obtained July 18,2012 or somthing like that.

Is this normal for a manaphy?

I still enjoy doing this hack checking. Hack checking is something I like to do every time I drop by here. However argument here is off topic and I will ignore. Besides I never stick to my decision as who gives a care of a person making a solid decision not to drop by in the forum just because of someone?

tailmister:

It should be legit XD Gale of Darkness Lugia. What I know the name is dependent on the username and can be caught in Masterball. Someone proved me right that he caught it in Ultra ball.


ChiefLucarioOfficer:

It is hacked because it is not an event. Also it shouldn't be stated apparently met at level 100. It can't be caught in master ball too.

Hacked. The Event where you could catch Mew was only for Japanese Emerald(s).

Edit:
It could have been nicknamed Mew if it's from the Faraway event in emerald (as it has the trainer's ID/SID).
Uh-huh. As if anyone were ever that lucky. Anyways, it should look something like this: Mew/ Kayla.

And this wouldn't be from that event because the name is in English? Thanks - I expected that any event pokes I get on GTS are hacks, but thought this might be the exception.

Well, you just had a bad luck, sadly people still trade hacks on purpose. But you can't say that any event pokemons in gts are hacks, I already saw and traded a bunch of events that looks ok.

It could have been nicknamed Mew if it's from the Faraway event in emerald (as it has the trainer's ID/SID). Check to see if the characters look a bit weird, english/latin characters are a little bit wider in the Japanese games that they are in our games. You could also trade to PtHGSS (or pokeshift to genV) to see if it unlocks a japanese dex entry for Mew.

just received 8 legendaries

so i have been on a quest to get all pokemon legitimately in soulsilver. my friend helped me out and gave me 8 legendaries i needed, but i wanted to make sure that they are all as legit as possible, so if you guys would like to just make sure they're not obvious hacks, i would much appreciate it.

thank you so much for any help :)

Shaymin must has the Fateful encounter tag. No fateful, it's hacked (or obtained via tweaking in D/P, which isn't exactly a legitimate way either, since Shaymin's area is accessed without the use of the event item)

Latias and Kyogre looks fine.

Deoxys I'm not sure, but it looks fine enough (I mean, who would want to hack a lv 30 non-shiny Deoxys that's Sassy but Likes to Run?)

Palkia, Darkrai, and Manaphy looks fine.

Arceus.....yeah, you're correct. Your friend definitely hacked the Azure Flute.
It's technically "legal" (not legitimate since the Azure Flute was never released, yet not exactly hacked either, since the only thing that's hacked is the Flute) but some people consider the Arceus as hacked anyway.

There is no in game Arceus event. That is why people think it is not possible to get it unless by hacking.

Deoxys looks fine. Most Pokemon has detrimental Natures but Characteristic backs it up. Very common in events. Though it is rare to find UT in game event Pokemon in trade unless GTS clone.

ok, thanks for the help guys, i will just try and find an arceus and shaymin to finish things then :)
