Won't be much use if they use the software offline only. And I mean offline. No internet.

Even online cheaters dont deserve 5 years in prison. It's just lunacy. I feel like this is aimed at companies offering products like that instead of the customers. At least i hope so. Still insane though.

I didn't agree to that kind of severe punishment... I meant in a minor way. Temp Ban or something.

Japan's starting to sound like a dictatorship with this new law.
Oh boy incoming Verlisify and his supporters he would love this for sure. If its just save editing theres still a loop hole they can capture pkmn ingame with a cheat activated.

Pointless, people gonna do it anyway. People have been modding saves since the early days.
Actually, what if they intended to target game modding, but accidentally made it apply to only saves XD

I doubt they'll arrest any average players, probably just ban you online. I'm pretty sure this is mainly to scare and prevent any companies that sell save editing. Japan tends to be bias towards gaming publishers/devs, that's why game rentals are illegal there.

According to /r/KotakuInAction, this all seems to be the cause of an error in translation and interpretation. There is no evidence that this is illegal.

I'm very curious how it's actually worded as a lot of games will import and export out updated versions of save game data which could be classified as "remodeling" of that data. Honestly, any game that saves is save editing. Speaking beyond that, there's in-game actions (save game glitches) that could qualify--there's a whole category of TASing devoted to it. Finally, moving towards just editing in general: all hexeditors could be said to apply since it covers the tools to make alterations and that's been often the key tool used by people, even if it's just to region change a save.
So, my long winded way of saying, this is absolutely absurd.

Well let's hope that it's just an error in translation. But if it's not an error guess in the future we'll start to see microtransaction in single player games. Want to get perfect pokemon please insert your credit card information to buy premium package. Tired of pidgey keep escape from ultra ball please buy this master ball package. Perhaps they would made a pokemon game where you have to spend stamina every steps you take and sell stamina package or even pokemon gacha. Well there's a lot of money to be made in microtransaction that's for sure.
