Daenerys 5,936 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 The Pokémon series has always had a hacking problem, thanks to programs that can generate monsters, but now, anyone who is playing with “illegally modified data” has been put on notice. On the official Japanese page penned by The Pokémon Company you can now find a warning for hackers who are using their powers to cause “problems with the operation of software and applications or causing inconvenience to other users.” Folks who fall into that bucket can expect “restrictions” put on their games, including “exchange functions” and the inability to use supplements such as Pokémon Home. Should that happen, The Pokémon Company says that users shouldn’t expect a refund, and that the company reserves the right to dole these punishments out “indefinitely.” The notice also says that The Pokémon Company might also dish out other measures not outlined in the post at their discretion. “We will regularly monitor and respond to fraudulent and annoying acts so that our users can enjoy themselves with peace of mind,” the notice reads. https://www.polygon.com/2021/1/25/22248519/pokemon-sword-shield-hackers-ban-notice-nintendo-switch Do any of you have genned mon in your game? If so, have you gotten hit with the ban hammer? My account is safe, any hacked mons I get through surprise trades I release instantly. I know of people who have gotten banned from both home and online play because they have shiny locked mons (tbh they should have known there would be consequences sooner or later) Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually go online to trade the mons I need to complete my dex, and usually 2/10 times I get a surprise trade with obviously hacked Pokémon from people advertising their discord selling them. I think Nintendo’s had enough of that because it’s gotten so bad they took long enough to enforce the hacking to stop Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamite 50,362 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I recently got it and signed up online and was surprised and annoyed by the hacked Pokémon. I don't know if I have one, I've done a few surprise trades and got a green Vileplume. Idk if it's hacked or a real shiny. I hate it when you battle someone and they have a team of maxed IV hacked.com Pokemon. I wouldn't want to be affected for having them through no fault of my own. Could I be?

ALGAYDO 29,892 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 That’s seems... excessive. Yeah it’s annoying when you battle against someone with hacked mons, but it’s not that big of a deal IMO it’s just annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B2theRich33 2,239 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I wonder if the the ones I have from surprise trades are gonna be the reason I get banned... or the shiny legendaries/mythicals I have that we’re “hacked” with my trainer name, their legit name, etc... they are just collection pieces. I don’t battle or anything with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the Original Trainer section. If its something weird or has a website name, its probably fake. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachinko 9,882 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I stopped playing Pokemon Sword after being able to get free customizable pokemon and items from twitch users running scripts/bots. Ruined the game for me. I also paid $1 per masterball on ebay on one occasion. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, I read they don't really ban anymore and if anything it would be using hacked Pokémon competitively Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
