Quick Question

I'm sorry if this has been asked before.

I have heard that "Sharked" Pokemon will screw up Diamond and Pearl. I just want to know if there is any truth to this. I am planning on porting my sharked Deoxys, Jirachi, and Mew over to Diamond when I get the game. Is this going to screw anything up on me?

Any answers will be appreciated. And again, if this has been discussed before, I do apologize.
 
Sharked Pokemon will screw up any game.
 
Sharked pokemon screw up anything and everything it goes to.

Sharked Pokemon = manmade Missingno = permanant cartridge damage

I've never really had any problems with sharked Pokemon in the past. I only shark what I can't get by traditional means.

You're ignorant about glitches, too. Wow.
Missingno. does NOT screw up your game. Not even the Yellow Version one, which both me and my friend have. The most it'll do is freeze the game, in which case you can just turn it off and on again and it'll be fine.
ARed ones are less likely to wreck your game, and I don't think anybody's discovered a Bad Egg in DP that is the result of hacking.
 
I just have some sharked ones on Ruby (not using those because they were just the unobtainable Kanto/Johto Pokemon using a wild Pokemon modifier; and I primarily just use Emerald now for playing, next to FR/LG), but I don't bother playing with that version anymore (I only use it now for multiplying TMs and trade-evolving items like Metal Coat, Kings Rock etc.).
 
The only experience I've ever had with sharking was with my Silver version, and man was that weird. In an attempt to semi-legitimately fill my Pokedex, I caught every Pokemon possible in Silver and then with the help of my cousin, we sharked the ones from RBY since neither of us had a completed game to trade from. The reason I say semi-legit is because we just used encounter codes and then caught them normally, legendaries included. And I still had to level up the starters and fossils and whatnot, so there was work involved.

Anyway, everything was going fine for a while. I had my full Pokedex and I was happy with it, but I wanted to restart my game. So I tranfered all my Pokemon to Stadium 2, spent all my money on items (I had max money with me and max held by my mom) and stored those in Stadium as well, then restarted the game.

Eventually I went back to look at my Pokemon and all hell had broken loose. Several boxes of them were missing entirely, a bunch turned into Dittos, and my red Gyarados lost its shininess. I was not pleased. It could have been a problem with the game itself, but I still believe it was because they were sharked and therefore corrupted.
 
Yet another lesson learned. You get what you buy. Try to remember that no company, no store, nobody really cares about how good a product is, especially merchandise that allows you to easily get whatever you want, they care for money, of course they don't care that it lowers amounts of customers buying every pokemon game just to get every pokemon, because it gives them profit in Game Shark, Action Replay, etc.
Basically, it's all crumby merchandise, and you don't pay much of it, so it means it won't be of good quality.
 
I think they do nothing to your game.
 
Allow m to state this: Sharked pokemon, when done the right way, are 100% like the real thing, and will cause NO damage whn traded.

heck, even when done the wrong way, they will STILL do no damage whn traded.

The code ITSELF when ACTIVATED in a game is what might damage the cartridge, NOT the sharked pokemon. So it being traded, it's treated EXACTLY like a legit pokemon, UNLESS it breaks the 510 EV limit, in which case i can't be traded to Colo, XD, or D/P. Or if it's mew and deoxys, if the obedience bit isn't set it can' be traded at all.
 
Just be careful if you plan to use sharked Pokemon for Wi-fi. If you gave them illegal moves, remove them. YOu would get in trouble if you use them for GTS and possibly Wi-fi. That is why with my hacked Pokemon that came from eggs, i'm planning on hatching the Same Pokemon again but that group's illegal moves will be replaced with the new moves
 
Most likely it won't do anything to your game. The worst I've gotten is the game being frozen and thats only happened a few times since I've played Blu version up to Sappire.

Wait, so you are saying that a sharked Mew or Deoxys cannot be ported to Diamond and Pearl?

Well we really don't know about Diamond and Pearl yet, but for the old generation games you couldn't. I'm guessing that sharked Mew or Deoxys would probably be lucky to be allowed to be transfer into D/P

That's odd, because I have been able to trade my sharked Mew, which I have had since Silver, all the way to my Emerald version without any problems.
