Hi everyone.

So, just now I was playing Omega Ruby and doing some Wonder Trades. After a few expected disappointments, I get a Tyrunt and call it a day. Note in advance: I then checked its summary, and it doesn't seem hacked. So just referring this because maybe the wonder trade part affected it with one of the random pokés I received, idk, but the thing is, just after all of this, things got really messed up.

Well... the whole story is here: https://imgur.com/a/3CvMM

I googled stuff, found nothing... does any of you have any idea of what this is??

funny enough, i was on pkmn X a few days ago online and saw atleast 1 pss acct on the random passerby list with a blank space where an image was. i clicked on the 2 players on both sides and used the tab buttons to scroll the list and it just skipped over that player. i had no issues online so its likely im safe there.

I think you found hackers on the PSS. I saw weird things like this once and then went to Google to learn what was going on. It didn't break my game or anything.

Yeah, apparently it is about programs like Basehaxx or something, as someone else told me meanwhile. Thinking back, I also have a vague idea of having seen similar stuff in the past. And my game has remained pretty functional until now.

Well, thanks for your help anyway!

hmmm... so I guess it's all the same. I thought the ability to have those special avatars like gym leaders and stuff came from wifi events or something. Lol.
