1: Yes. Going to be kept server side; the hack is allowing reverse engineering to happen.
2: We only release we want to release, and it has to be ready. We initially thought 2 weeks from the announcement; however time to flesh something out (ie write code) can always be underestimated.
The exploit is the same as Gen 5's battle video fetching. We're not giving out the information how we do the exploit, we'll just show the battle video data.
Bonus: Break the site's rules and he'll break your balls. That's just who he is!
Fantastic answers. I could not be happier to be getting information directly from you. Additionally I would like to request that this exploit stays server side, I'm sure that was your intention, but that still goes without saying. Gen 6 needs a reliable way to view pokemon data for both RNG and understanding game mechanics that cannot be abused.
I have 2 last questions for you sir, and you are under no obligations to answer, but if you did I would be more than grateful.
1. While you have implied that shiny values can be viewed on reddit, is it 100% confirmed? (Surely development has come far enough that you would know all of the features beyond a shadow of a doubt.)
2. Are you sharing information with the RNG reporter team (If the data would benefit RNG research)?
That's all I've got for you. (Hozu liked my post lol)
