How do we stop injection?
Or at the very least heavily discourage it
>>
by making the games good
>>
Have a way to determine which Pokemon are injected or not, and ban the one who injects from online play. Also make injected mons untradable and unbreedable.
>>
>>30810169
By allowing players to:
>Change natures via capsule.
>Access Hyper Training by level 50 OR make Bottle Caps easier to acquire. The dual lockout is unnecessary.
>Transfer owned Pokémon of which they are the OT from any non-Master, non-Cherish, non-Beast ball to another non-Master, non-Cherish, non-Beast ball in the player's possession. Doing so consumes the ball that the Pokémon is transferred into, and the old ball is not returned.
>>
>>30810197
The problem with hack detection is inevitably that hackers get better at hack detection than the system itself, and so consistently avoid anything that would be detected as a hack.

It's impossible. You have to realize that if there's an easier option, lots of people will flock to it.
Those 800 eggs for that one shiny is 10 seconds in injection time.

I'm not an injector though. But people should be allowed to enjoy a game however they choose. Even if you don't agree with it.
>>
>>30810169
You faggots will never learn.
>How to stop injection
Make Pokemon completely customizable at LV.100, change nature, IVs, etc. at will. Breeding is tedious, besides:
A Pokemon that is injected with legal stats will perform the same as a regular competitive Pokemon. Though you autists want to think your wasted time was worth money.
>>
>>30810220
This. only reason's i switched to injecting. not to mention breeding is annoying once you have other things to do.

This.
Cheating is impossible to stop.


But, GF should really get it's shit together and crack down on cheaters in official events, online play and services and competitions.
>>
>>30810169
Take away all the bullshit that is required to have a competitively viable team. IVs, EV training, nature's, hidden abilities locked behind random shit.

Basically put PKHex into the game.
>>
>>30810302

GameFreak literally can't do anything because the cheating is also impossible to detect.
>>
>>30810169
How do your parents live knowing that they spawned you?
>>
>>30810251

Grinding a pokemon to level 100 is tedious too, I'd honestly rather breed at that point.
>>
>>30810302
Basically this as well.

But really, cheaters will find a way around any potential roadblock. It'll just make them craftier.

The only way to stop it is to make creating competitive Pokemon in-game so easy and braindead that injecting becomes a waste of time.

And that will never happen

The day the breeding process stops being tedious is the day the injecting will stop.

Remove IVs and change Hidden Power to a separate customizable value. Remove pentagon bullshit. Make natures changeable through Amie or some bullshit so I don't need to SR legendaries. Make it easy to grind.

Hacking will always exist on hackable software but breeding just isn't fun. Soft resetting isn't fun either.
>>
Bottlecaps readily available (as in, bought from pokemarts for 1000 monies available.) Can be used at any level. Bottlecap to set speed to 0 IV's available.

NPC that changes a pokemon's Hidden Power type.

The only way to discourage cheating is to make the alternative just as easy.

Time investment, I'll give you, but there's no actual challenge involved in breeding a competitive team. Just time and tedium.

>>
>>30810394
>breeding just isn't fun
Not at the autistic level necessary for competitive 'mons, but the chains to get egg moves onto the right species can be kind of enjoyable. Just having the stock in there with Ditto is boring as fuck, though.

Pretty much.

People these days use the:

EV tranining is a justifiable investment, everything else is simply not
>>
how does the injection works?
>>
>>30810465
Not really, and it makes no sense either, if you want a challenge then you would be reverse IV breeding your mons to have the worst possible IVs and try to win against people on the battle spot.
Thats a challenge. running around in the taurus cage hoping that the destiny knot ditto with 4 IVs passed down the correct set to your soon to be breedject is not a challenge it's a chore.
>>
There is nothing the playerbase can do to fight injection without a hostile takeover of Nintendo's 3DS servers

Installing software via update that aggressively bricks the 3DS if there as so much as an extra file folder within the 3DS
>>
>>30810500
I like battling. breeding eggmoves. but not IV breeding or nature breeding.
>>
>>30810169

Allow us to tailor our Pokemon the way we want them. Maybe through a trader in-game who offers us identical Pokemon to the ones we have aside from natures and stats. You pay the person to look for the Pokemon you're looking for.
>>
>>30810365

The only thing challenged is the person who has so much time on their hands to breed perfection. Some of us have actual things to do in our lives.

Nintendo would only ban the console from online if they could detect stuff. Custom firmware could also patch out whatever tracking they put in before you got banned.

That's pretty fucking childish tbqh
>>
>>30810169
You can't. But better GTS/WT/VGC checks on illegal balls/"met at.."/movesets can filter out a great many retards who can't into subtle injecting.

Those 800 eggs to get a shiny just make it lose its point when you go online and see a bunch of hacked shinies. Its sad and ruins the feeling of accomplishment for those that worked hard for it.
I believe this is their main reason to be mad and they are quite right to be so, because after all, one is the way to play, the other is a hack.

It is true that regarding competitive battling, there's really no problem with injecting. But the feeling of accomplishment is completely ruined when there is such an easy way to cheat it.
>>
>>30810810
More like any checks on illegal balls.
Anyone else remember the dream ball Aegislash?
I don't remember anything past the fact that someone had one and it was some official thing, and it was posted here.
>>
>>30810896
It happened again recently with a Beast Ball Porygon 2.
What's odd is that they do have official rules against certain illegal balls, Master/Cherish Balls from the day care for example, but not others like the Aegislash.
>>
>>30810465
>Is time investment not a challenge in and of itself?
No, it isn't. No part of sinking in the hours presents a difficulty to overcome.

That has nothing to do with what I said. Dedication is a laudable quality, but that doesn't mean that investing time has any challenging component to it.

I guess the difference is for the other balls you can take a hacked one and breed it yourself, while for the event balls it's obvious that that specific pokemon is the hacked one.

Beast Ball Porygon is just too perfect a combo though.

Kinda hard to autism out all day and run in circles to get a damn shiny. Cooler color pallets shouldn't take 10 hours to find. Pelago made EV training more customizable, and IV's are a matter of getting an injectorfriend to give you a ditto and fucking around for an hour on each thing you want to breed.

Yeah, showdown is a thing, but it doesn't quite have the charm that playing it on an actual system has. Might as well just inject it immediately instead of spending the hours I'd waste ultimately getting it instead.
>>
>>30810987
Well, they want to play but the injecting makes any feeling of accomplishment pointless. And there's no way of actually fixing that because people will just keep injecting.
The problem is that others who inject end up being dicks about it too just like those who don't, so there's really no winning here. I definitely understand the arguments of both sides and I do like both the grind and the competitive part so its honestly kinda hard to be perfectly happy with whatever I do.

By making sure that the judges aren't playing favorites, the Nugget Bridge IRC leaks flat-out said that the only reason why Rizzo wasn't DC'd for the Dream Ball Aegislash was because the judge knew him and would've DQ'd anyone else with a Dream Ball Aegislash on their VGC team.

And sending C&D letters to those chucklefucks at ProjectPokemon would certainly help as well.

Well, you don't HAVE to have a shiny, do you?
If you choose to breed a mon with a 1/4000 chance of encountering it in the wild or a 1/512 chance is breeding with a different region mon and shiny pin.... It's kind of your problem and not the game's.

Shinies are supposed to be rare.

Yeah, you could inject but, don't justify it and don't expect you playing in offficial events and everyone just being ok with that... even though it's the current sad reality.

>>30811194
No, he's not. But, i agree on this:
>that's a side effect of tryhard competitive fags

If competitive games and players would be more chilled and friendlier. we wouldn't have the problems we have today. You can pretty much translate this to any competitive game.

I get, you want to be the very best like no one ever was, but seriously, if you win by cheating and you get caught, what will stop people on the internet to "cyber bully" you into suicide?

>ProjectPokemon starts again under a new name

>>30811424
I mean, if you get caught cheating of course you should get sacked. But my personal views on the subject remain unchanged in that I don't think it hurts the meta. I think competitive pokemon is a joke anyway.

That wouldn't even solve anything because PKHeX can be hosted anywhere else and not to mention it already does its job. Stopping it now wouldn't matter.

It wouldn't change anything. PKHeX is already a thing and if the new Gen came out, someone else would just pick up the source code and continue the project under a different name. It doesn't even have to be SciresM.

It's inevitable.
>>

If Nintendo was willing to play the cat and mouse game with the hackers, they would always have the edge simply because they know their code. Too bad Nintendo's a shit company when it comes to anything that isn't making games.

Its fine if you can't relate. But that feeling is still there for whoever tries to get things legitimate and feels proud of it.

>>30811548

>>

I said ENCOURAGING it. Obviously Nintendo and GF are aware of it but the only people butthurt about it are people like you who hacked the site to begin with.

If this were a single player game with no possibility of multiplayer, sure. But online, whether it's battles or trading or whatever, stuff like perfectly bred IVs/chained egg moves/etc. an shinies lose their value when a bunch of smug children can fabricate all of it in a minute.

Injecting is both cheating AND devaluing parts of the games for other players, there's really no excusing it.

Wanna know a secret? I stopped liking Pokemon when the meta first got big and people were all into breeding and chaining for IVs. The competitive nature itself devalued the game for me because it meant my starter and all of my pokemon were worth shit. So don't act all high and mighty and claim hackers harmed the series.

It's the competitive fags in general. They're the whole reason hacking is even a thing. And quite frankly, I'm glad.
>>
>>30810708
That's what online simulators are for, my friend.

It would probably be better to admit that you just enjoy cheating, and feel good about getting away with it. No need to justify it, just admit that you have room to grow as a person and move on.
>>
>>30811628
Thanks for not being an infant about it. I really can't relate now but i can say i did feel that way maybe 3 or 4 years back but now it's more of an intrinsic feeling where i'm proud of my crap IV shiny gigalith but if i see someone using a team of all shinies with perfect IV's it doesn't take that feeling away.

I hope more breedfags can join me on this in the future.

>>30810970
I think a better comparison would be working out for those who play competitive sports.

They both represent an investment of time and effort without competitive difficulty (setting a schedule and finding out the best way to maximize gains is like figuring out how to get all your egg moves and reliably breed for desired natures and IVs).

Coincidentally they both also represent a barrier to entry that people sometimes try to circumvent through illegal means (injecting perfect mons and using performance-enhancing drugs), because they feel that rules don't apply to them and lack the willpower to put in the time.

Unfortunately, unlike in the world of sports, there aren't any foolproof ways to detect cheating in Pokemon and when it does happen, it's often met with turning a blind eye.

XY had a small time when you couldn't inject anything, but powersaves came out. The Switch may stay secure for some time but it will be hacked eventually or the carts will be editable somehow.
>>
>>30811341

i know it's been mentioned a few times but if you want to "just jump into battle," there are thing's like showdown made exactly for that by people that also want to "just jump into battle." of course i can't stop you from cheating but don't try to justify it
>>
Why does anyone care? Im a breederfag but why does anyone care about other people enjoy the game?
>>
>>30811932
That was the best time in XY. You would actually get a good proportion of bred Pokemon from Wonder Trade instead of 95% quick ball Abras and Route 1 trash.
>>
>>30811873
I still don't agree with that comparison because any knowledgeable person who studied the meta make a team and do well in a battle vs someone who raised their team from scratch.

And how about this? Trading. I could just trade for a great team and not have raised them.

>>30811943
I don't wanna play a simulator though. This may sound retarded but I prefer the flashy 3D animations.

I know it's cheating. But the cheat is so mild compared to using cheats to get one hit kills that it's not even comparable to steroids.
>>30811906
Please stop projecting. I bet you thought the people that bullied you in high school would grow up to be drug addicted losers too.
>>
>>30811988
I'm a breedfag too and it affects me because less people breeding means receiving less good trades and me having to do more prep work for breeding or simply not having anything good to MM with.

>>30811743
Hey buddy, you don't have to play competitive if you don't want to.

Play through the story. Take up challenges like Nuzlocke and monotype runs. Make comics about your adventures.

People getting competitive about the game can only impact you if you try to be competitive and don't take the time and effort to keep their pace. However, people who cheat at the game do have an impact on people who play the game the same way (ie. competitively) because they are on the same field, except one group of players gets their results instantly, and forces other players to stoop to their level of cheating if they want to stay on the cutting edge.

Psychology. They feel insulted that someone can spend 5 minutes building their favorite team vs spending days on their own.

To them, it's like raising money for a sports car, then walking out of your 9-5 job to see some rich kid get handed the same model from mommy and daddy for nothing.

that doesn't sound like a legitimate reason at all. Theres already tons of trades going on at once. Only the people that give a shit will trade them. Even when I have leftovers I just release them. I don't have time trying to get rid of them on gts. Also it's not like making breedable mons takes long. Iys only IVs that take,time.

Wonder trade is a waste of time too. XY and gen 6 was so shit in general, I hardly played the meta until ORAS on showdown or in game because of how shit Kalos was. But I needed a break from Pokemon after putting in so much time in 2009-2012.

>I still don't agree with that comparison because any knowledgeable person who studied the meta make a team and do well in a battle vs someone who raised their team from scratch.

And someone who had the same skill in tennis as another player but skipped on the workout aspects through illegal means would still be cheating, and in any respectable environment, would be both disqualified from competitions and reviled by the community.

>And how about this? Trading. I could just trade for a great team and not have raised them.

You're still getting a return from some sort of investment (whether you're giving something valuable in return or benefiting from a friendship you've developed), and even if you didn't, and even if this breaks from the working out metaphor, you're still playing the game by its rules, which ideally would apply to you whether you feel they should or not.

The problem is that, in most cases, these rules aren't being applied by people who participate in official tournaments or use official services, but that still doesn't justify actual, literal cheating.

I don't inject but I appreciate the 6IV injected Dittos from our hacker friends desu.
>>
>>30810879
As a legit player, I really don't give a shit though. Just because someone can gen an exact copy or a better copy of a pokemon that I worked hard to get doesn't detract from the fact that I put in the hard work and made it happen. The only time that my fellow legit peers had a leg to stand on was gen 5 and before where hacking perfect mons, while TECHNICALLY possible to encounter ingame would take immense luck or thousands of eggs to even approach with how finicky breeding was. Now it's easy to breed perfect mons. I worked hard to get a 6IV dad in each egg group in lieu of a 6IV Ditto, and I put my time in on bike sim to make my teams and get my shinies. Just because someone else can do that in half an hour doesn't invalidate my work or my pride in myself for doing it.

You have to ask yourself why you care about what the others are doing. If it's hurting your self esteem that someone is getting things faster than you and making you feel like it's not worth it then ignore them. Focus on your accomplishments and feel good about what you are doing.

If it's because you don't get to show it off to other people and get praised or attention for it because other people have it and they shouldn't have it because it's unfair, get over yourself. Shinies are cool but they aren't an amazing thing to get especially when you stack the odds in your favor. It's no longer a 1/8000 shot at a shiny and the effort to get it is impressive but possible for any one of the millions who own the games.

Care about what you yourself are doing. Not what everyone else is allowed to do.

Nah, its not about self-esteem. Its about value. This is a community and things have value to it or not. Showing off your shiny online when battling won't get anyone impressed because they'll most likely think they're just hacked. I just fought a guy with a full shiny team on battle spot and I instantly assumed he was an hacker, but who knows, maybe he got them legit and worked hard for it. Work that won't be acknowledged by anyone.
I understand where you're coming from and working for it is definitely fun in its own way. But there are people who don't care just about that when you go from single player to the community, after all we are all different. Just as there are some who inject just because they are busy and others do it just because they are lazy and then go shitpost about how retarded breeders are.

Anon, the most genuine answer you'll ever get on this site.
Your whole argument is based off of the assumption that I have no pride whatsoever because I cheated once in a video game.

This is basically thought policing in that I can't physically display my conscience to you. But in the same regard I can say you've never accomplished anything that you've said and we reach a stand still.

So your point was never valid, because you are arguing for an impossibility. I can say that I would rather earn my degree and you wouldn't believe me. And I can say that you'd rather inject Pokemon if you had the right firmware. You'd disagree and I'd never believe you. This is the crutch of anonymous posting.

Call me butthurt now.
>>
>>30812874
Shiny Metagross, shiny Porygon-2 and the ugly shiny Dragonite. Honestly, its like he was just making them shiny for the sake of being shiny and not because he actually liked the look. Of course, I didn't see the rest of the team so I only assumed.
>>
>>30810220
That wouldn't fix shit. Still have to EV train, still have to grind HA, still have to breed eggmoves, still have to deal with gender for certain evolutions.

The only way to stop injecting is to remove all this autism that pokemon introduced since gen 1.
>>
>>30812747
It shouldn't matter what people think. If they want to be butthurt and accuse your having a shiny Salazzle on you hacking it when you worked hard hatching/chaining for it, that's their hangup. And in my experience, for the most part, people just honestly don't care. They see a shiny, go "probably hacked" and move on without throwing a fit or commenting. Your actions only really affect you and your sense of fulfillment. If other people hack then they're hacking in their own little circles without you. And there are plenty of people who are still legit, either out of principle or because they can't into hacking and atleast legit makes sense to them.

This isn't the old days where you see people with mons set to 999 in each stat. There is no unfair advantage that cannot be overcome by sheer time and effort.

Nah, you actually made some good points.

But, it still doesn't change the fact that cheating is wrong and if you want to cheat to better enjoy the game, you better do that offline instead of trying to claim "fame" in the competitive scene and still not admitting of breaking the rules.
To be clear, I'm not directing this to you personally.
But, do people really enjoy competitive for the competition.
I don't think so.

I think competitive pokemon is a joke so you'd never find me in some tournament.

I only do random battles and I lose those most of the time anyway because I use my favorites and don't structure my overall team around a specific point of attack. I only do it so I'm not swept without putting up a fight.

I'll never say it wasn't cheating but I think of it as a method of trading. It's still cheating but that's my personal take on it. And I understand why people don't like it, but I still see a gray area.

Thanks for not being a fag about it though. You're pretty cool in my book.

This. I find just casually grinding for pokemon bred as I like to be somewhat relaxing. The only times that breeding really infuriates me is when it's something stupid like trying to get a female Salandit with the right IVs and rolling 5 of 90 that are female with ALL PERFECT EXCEPT SPECIAL ATTACK.

Most of the rest of the time, though, it's just grinding shit out. I think it's a damn shame that we can't change natures on one-off pokemon, though. Natures have more of an impact on stats than IVs do, so catching a Tapu Koko with the wrong nature and not finding out until later is a pretty big slap in the face when the Battle Tree is filled with tryhard bullshit from the word "go".

Once you get a Destiny Knot and any pokemon in the Field egg group with a single perfect IV, you can make almost any non-genderless pokemon with 6 IVs given enough time.

I tried doing the easy route with a 6 IV pokemon against a regular wild caught one. After three months I never got anywhere. At best I got close but not close enough (20-29 IV).

Some people have crap luck. It's hard to blame them for wanting to inject two perfects so they can breed something that doesn't suck and didn't take three months to do.

Or they can trade their legendaries for 6 IV pokemon that probably were bred from injected parents. What would you do, friend?
>>
>>30813140
Then that's bullshit and TPCi and GF need to fix whatever exploit is happening. But that's on them to correct and give punishment to those people breaking the rules. If they can tell a person is for sure injecting then I agree with them being punished. But few are actually dumb enough to leave obvious hacks. Dream Ball Aegislash came up because a big name player hacked, and fans knew, TPCi knew, but TPCi couldn't nail him on the rules for it because impossible balls weren't a rule and it passed the hack check. And nailing a high profile player on a technicality in the rule book would cause furor in the competitive community that's already small and frail compared to the TCG. They have human checks in place now and more standing in the rules to dump someone on an impossibility, but only if they catch it. Hence the current beast ball stuff. Ultimately it's up to them to catch cheaters and put things in place to stop cheating. But since their decryptions are laughably bad and their hack checks are lenient and a human can only accurately check off only so many pokemon visually before missing one, there's still room to always improve.

It's going to have to come down to something like QR team registration and an internet connection at tournies. Teams have to be submitted off of your cart for scans and judge approval, and you have to load that QR out of the event's database for each fight. That's the only way I see them getting even close to foolproof

It's easy to get 6IV fathers by working your way up. Especially by starting with an evolved baby mon in gen 6 or some other good breeding stock and using your links through egg groups to get everything done.

GF should make a legit way to obtain a 6 IV Ditto not RNG-wise. For example like they did with 40th encounter. Let it be a 500th encounter for a 6IV one. That would be time consuming but in the end you will get your reward. I like battle spot and postgame AI battles but it bores the shit out of me to spend hours and hours running in circles and combining Dittos. I want to enjoy an aspect i actually like. Never used pokegen myself but got some Dittos from here for breeding.

Hey I never said any of that, but the MLP IP is probably less valuable for their target demographic because of autistic fans. I'm no marketing executive though.

I'd not give two shits and take the injected pokemon. I don't care enough about competitive to go through the effort of injecting myself and I don't care enough about injected pokemon to try to keep my game "pure" on some misguided sense of fairness.

Injection and Hacking are legal because the system doesn't stop it. As far as I'm concerned, any pokemon that a judge says is OK is legal.

It's why you have judges look it over before events. Judges know their bullshit. They've been doing this for years in most cases, most are familiar with TCG decklist checks and those are bigger nightmares. The difference is that in VGC tournies if you have 20 minutes to look at 200 3DS screens and scan 6 mons for hacks, that's one second the recall anything fishy about those mons that the hack check wouldn't look for. And I'm sure in one second out of the corner of your eye, that dream ball would honestly look like a heal ball.

This is why you hear this happening all the time at big events rather than small ones. Much easier to catch a problem if there's 12 players rather than 600.

So yeah I think if you had to submit your team say, 24-48 hours early online (or end up with extra scrutiny on-site), giving judges a chance to look at and flag mons and discuss with other judges, you'd see even Dream Ball Aegislash kind of stuff go away, and hackers being much more careful about theirs tracks to stay out of sight.

no this is me being upset that the majority of this scene doesn't understand true competition. how competitive are you when you get copy pasted teams genned up for you and so does your opponent? why even play if you're only playing against something that wasn't conceived of or even earned by who you're competing against? what this comes down to is people thinking that trying is stupid so they bring something awful into the childlike wonderful world of pokemon.

>Bring something awful into the childlike wonderful world of pokemon
Are we gonna go here? Are we gonna do this?

You think your breeding mills don't ruin childlike wonder? Tossing out 8 boxes of imperfect pokemon because
>lol wrong nature
>lol wrong IVs
Are you fucking kidding me?

If we're gonna get touchy feely about this I'd rather take my 1 test tube pokemon than see hundreds of BREEDJECTS get tossed into the cold, hard wilderness.

Fuck off with that gay shit. Competition ruined the childlike wonder in this RNG ridden joke of an e-sport.
>>
>>30814019

yes we are gonna get touchy and feely because this is a kids game and your cynical adult logic has no place here. no one said anything about tossing out breedjects. you wonder trade them and make some kids day. you show that if you want something you have to work for it. you stop being a pussy and actually try. and if you lose because of chance in a game you don't cry about it.
>>

>cynical adult logic has no place here
You need to be 18 to post here underage.
Admit that you're no worse than a puppy mill.
Your wishful thinking is fucking laughable though, thinking everyone bothers with wonder trading BOXES of BREEDJECTS. And it's funny that you think test tube pokemon is inherently cynical because I think it's a million less Pokemon in the streets.
kys kid

Considering the IVs they are probably Apex Predators.

>>30814222
A lvl 1 apex predator.

Nice try.

>>30811270
Not really. I hatched a Shiny Rockruff after 179 eggs then regretted why I spent 4 days on it when I had PKHeX and Homebrew.
>>
>>30814192

no i think your shit attitude is cynical. if you're gonna be obsessed with kids entertainment why be an asshole about it? that's just depressing. why do you do it? don't say that it's because your time is precious is some shit because either

This is mostly (almost to the point of exclusively) towards the first and third post but get over yourself. Your feelings about what your favorite childhood franchise means to you and how it affected you is your viewpoint that you do not enforce on anyone else because ultimately that viewpoint is subjective and if you are an adult you let other people do things even if you disagree with them because it doesn't concern you and it's none of your business. They are not ruining pokemon for you and they are not damaging your childhood because they exist and have different feelings on the matter. Grow up and play the damn game the way you want and ignore people who play in a way you disagree with. There are plenty of more things to be upset about than "what actions other people do that would be fucked up in the Pokemon/Real world".

hell I get kinda sad seeing kids open booster packs and getting mad that they only got a Holofoil, but times (and card rarity) change. Nothing worth getting mad and yelling about.

Talk shit, get hit.

And my time IS literally money now that I'm not underage. So once you get to my age you learn to spend your time wisely instead of autistically crying about fairness in a chinese trading card game.

I personally see nothing inherently wrong with test tube organisms. Porygon was a test tube baby after all. :^)
>>30814385
I was countering his appeal to emotion with my own. I'm not worried about what people do in this game on their own time but I agree with you 100%.
>>
>>30814385

you're right and i know that. that doesn't stop me though from still feeling like we as adults playing a kids game have a responsibility to at lease act like we're competing and not just being big fish in small ponds.

>>30814438

oh come on i'm sure what ever job you have isn't that serious. all i'm saying is that i think you're an asshole if you cheat at a kids game and you know what, it's fine if you think i'm an asshole for not liking that.

Were you using only the hot spring at Pelago?
>>
>>30814531
No, I think you're an asshole for taking an RNG heavy children's game seriously and acting superior to those who don't.

And I pay my own bills and tuition. So even if my job is not the most important in the world, it is important to maintaining stable finances.

So I can't afford to bore myself into a rut before I can enjoy 1 online battle 1 week later between school and work.
>>
>>30812265
>justifying cheating in a video game
No, it's not cheating. It's playing the game to it's full potential whilst still having a life outside my 3ds and basement.

As an adult, you gain a fuck ton of responsibilities and can't autism out on a game like you do when you're a high school or college kid. As much as I'd love to waste my few precious hours of free time, I find that it is much more enjoyable to inject the things that will let me enjoy said time.
>>
>>30810169
as long as perfect mons made by bike autists and hackers are identical, you cant detect it.

you could only do something about the reasons why people hack, which is simply bypassing a randomization based, time intensive process that has no challenge or difficulty behind it but only depends on time and luck.
>>
>>30817647
or you could introduce online tournaments that only allow unoptimized mons or disable IVs/EVs in pokemon for the battle
>>
>>30811046
The irony.
