Anyone have a list of items / pokemon that will get you banned? Due to either not being released or impossible to get (Shiny pokemon that can't be shiny)
There isn't a list of items/pokemon that will get you banned and the reason why is because we don't actually know what is triggering bans yet. We have an idea but nothing has been confirmed. Common sense dictates that you should do your own research before making any edits to your pokemon saves. Understand that by hacking/editing a pokemon save there's always a risk that you could be ban.
The following are reliable websites that you can use to look up information.
Serebii.net (information on pokemon stats, events, updates, pokeballs, items,shiny-locks)
bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net (pokemon stats, community-driven, hex descriptions, calculations)
Pokemondb.net(moves, stats)
projectpokemon.com(Pkhex, Event files)
use your google ninja skills to search anything you want to know and look up for information coming from these sites.
and here I'll share some of my notes on hacking pokemon save methods and their connections to bans.
Save editing applications - (PKHeX) these allows you to edit/create pokemon saves, stats, items pretty much about everything.(PKSM) allows to edit pokemon but can't touch pokemon in battle boxes, party, items, currency, trainer data. Their databases are cool but requires a bit of work to make them unique.
NTR plugins -(SumoCheatsMenu) These hacks changes or lock values in-game. like unlimited z-moves, powered-up stats, all the cool stuff. While many other plugins allow you to play online this specific plugin turns off many of its cheats if you go online. It does this to reduce the risk of getting you ban, and because it's not cool to cheat online. The spawner cheat can give you a legit pokemon if used correctly.
RomHacks(SaltySD,LayeredFS) - If you are only changing music,and textures. you will be fine.
if you are changing pokemon moves, evolution tree, pokemon types. you are increasing your risks and more likely creating illegal pokemon. you should probably keep this from online gaming. For off-line playing, all hail "Pk3ds". some randomizer-based hacks are actually pretty cool.
GAMESYNC- it allows to play rating battles, tournaments, world missions. you can also get unique things from this events(***you can wait until they become available, and visit projectpokemon for those files***). if you want or plan to use this feature, you'd be increasing your risk of getting ban since the game syncs with nintendo servers and
LOGS your stats.
It's fully activated only after you registered your save online. Most bans have been linked to users that use this feature and have done some save-hacking.
Things you probably shouldn't be using if you are using gamesync. ram-editing tools like NTR plugins. specially if you can go online with those. Do not edit or touch pokemon that you have in battle boxes. Do not have unreleased megastones, unreleased Z-stones, edit pokefinder, change currency (BPs, FCs, Moneys) other than that, as long as you apply common sense to your changes, and do a little research you will most likely fine.
@alterzero understand the pains trying to identify all of these stats but it's all in the sake of emulating realistic game interactions. Ninty wants to know everything that you do with their newest pokemon games. There's so much online-overworld stats interaction it's stupid, but it makes you wonder what world missions are to come. I can see now
"run away from battles a 1,000,000,000 times"
"throw 1,000,000,000,000 pokeballs"
"Get 1,000,000,000 fainted pokemon"
The zeros are not typos, ninty has big expectations.
