I've heard of this happening in online Final Fantasy games: People will raise up their characters to insane levels and sell them to other gamers for big bucks on Ebay. Do you think it's possible that this sort of thing could happen to Pokemon once DP becomes widespread next year? I'm sure individual Pokemon wouldn't go for more than a few dollars apiece, depending on what they are, but with Emerald cloning and mass transferring, they could turn into a pretty decent source of income if enough people are willing to buy them. I wonder if my max Attack Slaking and Metagross would fetch a pretty penny. Would shinies be worth even more?
Of course, people with GameSharks and Action Replays could obviously throw a big monkey-wrench into this whole scheme, and Nintendo could possibly shut down the Pokemon poaching business by claiming that we violate their terms of service, but that's never stopped the Final Fantasy people. Still, I can see how this could work. Purchasing Pokemon you recieve from others via wi-fi global trading would have to be based on the trust system somewhat, but, then again, so is Ebay.
I know that Expert_Evan was or still is auctioning off a Pokemon Box memory card filled with rare pogeys on Ebay, so I'm thinking that this practice could become even easier and more common as Pokemon wi-fi trading develops. Assuming that Pokemon Battle Revolution will feature advanced global wi-fi trading, this could turn into a pretty smart way for skilled Pokemon players to make a little dough on the side. What do you guys think?
EDIT: And think of how valuable items like TMs, Master Balls, Rare Candies, and PP Ups might become.
