Misc Pokemon Cheaters Banned

[Meteo]

if you can use pokesav on your game, GTS is kinda pointless..

People actually believe this? Wow. Some people will believe anything. Shame on all these blogs for taking such a false lead. The rumor originated in the Wii60 forums when one of the admins/mods claimed that his friends was banned at school. He also states ridiculous things such as stores giving out these codes so Nintendo can catch people easier. Load of BS. How could you ban friend codes anyway? You could just go in to your Wi-Fi configuration (where you set up your router information and such) and delete your Wi-Fi information there, and walaa, next time you get on Wi-Fi you have a totally different friend code. Look at the MPH leader boards. That's how much Nintendo cares about the integrity of their online service. That message saying they are gonna revamp the boards to prevent cheating has been there for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time now.

They are not banning it on Wifi if they have legal stats. Pokesav can convert your Bidoof to Celebi and they wont ban it... SADLY

In case you didnt know, Players can no longer trade HACKED Pokemon on GTS for others with the "search" function - however, stupidly, hackers are still able to deposit hacked pokemon! See http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/New_..._short_of_ideal for more info, i've also tested it, it's true.

And btw, you can check if your pkmn is hacked via a .pkm file & this wonderful app:

I checked them with a sample of my pkm files, they are 99% accurate I would say. They might have problem with chained shiny, bred Pokemon & roaming pokemon.

2 of my shiny passed the test but not my Buizel & legendary dogs. I love this application. I wish it would be able to detect event Pokemon(as I need this verification the most) or Pokemon obtained from XD, Colosseums(like Jirachi)...

sorry but umm ive read through most of the 5 pages of this topic and i still dont understand: what is your definition of a cheater? is it somebody who hacks their pokemon to get a mewtwo from absolutely nothing? or is this a person who trained a mewtwo in fire red, traded it over, and now just making a few EV modifications because he doesnt want to ev-train?

i can understand people's frustration with those who just load up .pkmn files, give the pokemon uber stats, and then run around on wifi killing people left and right but if pokesav is used to edit some minor things without ruining the overall integrity of the experience of the game i dont think that should really be a problem...

alright its unfair to those die-hard fans who will train their pokemon from level1 and breed like hell to get the best stats but at the end of the day its still a game and those hardcore fans should accept the fact that cheaters will never disappear- but also keep in mind that not all cheaters are ruthless people hacking Acreus's with 999HP to go pulvurize others.

It is just unfair if it is used for tradings, battle or competitions.

*sighs* i guess thats life.. there are those who take the hard road there with dedication and honor .. then there are others who simply take the easy way out.

on another note...
hmms so i got curious as to how many of us are still playing pokemon out there...
drop by my poll sometime!

Link: Are YOU Still Playing Pokemon?

 

[austrina]

It says almost all of my pokemon cant be tested :'(

The current version of of pAC can not determine if this Pokemon is cheated
Check an other Poke

Beat my pokesav edited pokemon

track that one.... i got where caught places right , no edited stats, real lvs for legendaries =p

 

[Firewarrior]

Well what if aren't cheating but still using R4 to play the ROM?

I for one ain't I like to play the old school way waste hours on real grinding.

But still people should not take games so seriously.

 

[dualscreenman]

Nintendo doesn't have the capability to detect cheaters. They don't care about security. The MPH leaderboards are a good example.

 

[gigermunit]

Well apparently who ever is trying to bann the cheaters is doing a horrible job since im still able to get on.......

 

[lawliet]

Would you consider the following a cheater?

Suppose someone who has played some GBA pokemon game on an emulated ROM decides to "transfer" the pokemon in his GBA ROM to a Pokemon Diamond/Pearl game played on R4. He uses some application to get the exact stats of said pokemons and then do an exact copy of stats in pokesav to be deposited in Palpark.

I guess in this scenario, there isn't any way such a transfer can be made. I don't suppose the D/P detect Slot 2 flash cart Pokemon games, do they?

 

[calvin_0]

LOL Nintendo is baning cheater...and pokemon is not really 100% online dedicated.....

what about Yu-Gi-Oh? those game are dedicated for online gaming and still people can use AR to cheat....

 

[paul1991]

How do you ban an online cheater?
If you delete your save. can they detect that you are the same person?

 

[Dragonlord]

No they can't which is why this is total bullshit as useless as PunkBuster and VAC.

Yes they can,
Your NDS has a MAC address built in, if Nintendo then banned that you would be banned from all games on the WFC. Its unknown if that gets sent to the database when you play, but I bet they do have a system up for banning people on extreme measures.

Another system they could use is a IP Ban, which would then stop you playing but the only flaw from that is restarting your internet till you got a new IP

 

[Dragonlord]

Both are useless:

1) Banning MAC. The MAC is a rather small number and the chance of NDS having the same MAC is rather high. Furthermore if somebody bans the mac put a MASQUERADE rule in your firewall which changes the MAC. Ban = useless

2) Banning IP. The same as above. If you are hooked up with an ISP which all are in some way you use a recycled IP. Hence the next time you log in you have a different IP. Ban = useless. Furthermore if someone else goes to play and hits the banned IP he's fudged although not a cheater.

Banning only works if you require registering an account and you check periodically that nobody doubles ( makes another account ) to get around a ban. This is the only way you have a chance although it's breakable too.
