Ageto says hi.

There's conflicting information about that. I heard a while ago that it was possible to get a Shiny one, but then someone said that it wasn't possible after all. This has been going on for a while now, and I think it's best to just assume that all Shiny Celebi are hacked. Unless someone brings up concrete proof that they exist, I won't believe that Celebi can be Shiny.

This is not hacked. Gamestop gave away all three legendary dogs shiny. For the Zoroark event.

Were they given out at Gamestop? I received all three of my legendary dogs over wi-fi. I got Celebi at Gamestop.

EDIT: I also have a question. I received an OEM game (Black) and I was wondering: would pokemon caught on that copy be considered hacks? Out of curiousity, I tried booting it with AR and it wasn't recognized.

Thanks in advance.

Celebi was distributed in-life only, at Gamestop and the Mall Tour.

Raikou, Entei, and Suicune were distributed in-life at Gamestop, as well as over Wi-fi.

No.
If you evolve a foreign Pokémon that wasn't nicknamed, it's name will change to match your region's Pokémon's name.
So if a Japanese person caught a Grimer and traded it to you, then you evolved it, it's OT would be in Japanese and it's name would be "MUK" ("Muk" in Gen V)

okay, but the point is that the OT name was in the smaller, english talking ???s. thanks for the tip. i thought i tainted my game with a (creepy music)HACK!

I remember seeing a topic at some forum's a person proving that... Whatever, better to ask Nintendo about this.

It looks legit ... Could just be that the player had good luck with that Poké ball.

It's most likely cloned though :)

I am being offered an RNG'd Shiny thundurus, but it has the ID 00007 and has the OT Kurt. Is that legit?
I have that same one and I've looked around and yes it is legit

Damn, the shit that makes it into the GTS. 4th gen. GTS was stronger in the anti-hack department.

Can the lvl.1 Palkia and lvl. 1 Dialga found in the Sinjoh ruins in Jhoto have the Premier Ribbon? When I look at other people lvl. 1 Palkia, they don't have the premier ribbon, so I am not sure if it is hacked. It has OT Mat with the ID: 62971

No. The Sinjoh Ruins Dialga/Palkia/Giratina can't have that ribbon.
