Hi everyone!
I hope you enjoy this little, 100% based on a true experience, story of mine. Let's get started (Yes, there will be a TL: DR; for those who don't... read.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I caught wind of exactly what PKMN-NTR is fully capable of today in a really unfortunate series of battles I had with some Japanese random.. The first battle did NOT go well for me, so I decided... screw it! I'm gonna rematch this jerk! Sure enough, he gladly accepts. It was to my complete surprise however.. than in round 2, I would be facing my EXACT/COMPLETE team compilation I used in the previous round. Before you go there... No, they were not like-pokemon with any differences whatsoever.. They were MY pokemon. Same names, same OTs, same stats, same everything.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT I FOUND/REALIZED:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, as I was becoming a whole nutha level of violated.. and LOSING to my own team.. I dipped out mid battle and did some research.. Before I knew it was all possible.. Something smelt like Memory Manipulation to me.. I felt a familiar feeling of "CheatEngine" and its on-the-fly capabilities in all things PC..
It didn't take me long to stumble across some stuff that I KNEW about.. but thought was "in the past now".. For example NTR (obviously not in the past, but.. meh) but more specifically NTR Debugger/NTR Client, which i GUESS if you absolutely knew what you were doing with these original tools, you could make SOME stuff happen..
But then, I stumbled across a GAME CHANGER (/Ruiner?)... "PKMN-NTR". The features that stood out the most to me where the scan/dump abilities based on a box/slot of your choosing, the currently offered pokemon in any trade, your opponents currently drawn out pokemon, pokemon within a Battle Box, and any pokemon from your Party. Then, hand-in-hand with that, it is one click away from being copied to a box/slot of yours... IN REAL TIME/ON THE FLY..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OH, BUT IT GETS WORSE:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not sure just how recently this was discovered.. but it has been proven possible to read/copy/clone/quick save pokemon from a RECORDED BATTLE VIDEO!!! That's right people... NOW they never even need to physically face you themselves.. that is, if they have the means of obtaining a recorded battle with you/your pokemon in it..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL THOUGHTS:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will say, I do have to hand it to the developers.. This tool looks clean, seems to work pretty flawlessly, and its capabilities are that of which I had never seen yet.. As soon as I was starting to think that I had seen it all as far as pokemon hacking goes.. It managed to pwn me by surprise...
HOWEVER, when you truly think about this and how it can negatively impact the game.. it can potentially cause a "Why bother?"-like scenario for many reasons.. One that pops into my head right off the cuff is.. It makes the need/desire/enjoyment of trading incredibly OBSOLETE and USELESS/WASTE OF TIME. And of course.. it inevitably renders your life's greatest achievements in pokemon, AND your right to show them off, MEANINGLESS & INSTANTLY TARNISH-ABLE.

Annnyyywayyys..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought that was a pretty epic share-worthy/teachable moment that other people should know. Let's just hope that THIS post isn't what starts Arma-GAY-ddon with a sudden influx in this being done..
Take care guys! Feel free to let me know what you think!

*** TL: DR; ***
1. Had casual battle against random Japanese person. Didn't go well for me. Wanted a rematch.
2. Upon getting started with the rematch.. Noticed opponents pokemon/team comp was MY comp from last battle (MY OWN PKMN!).
3. Did research, found the culprate (PKMN-NTR Tool), played with it, discovered the pokemon sun/moon equivalent of the invention of the nuclear bomb.
4. Additionally, discovered that pokemon could also be read/cloned through watching past Recorded Battle Videos.. Crapped my pants a little thinking about the inevitable outcome.. (Loved/Hated it equally)
5. Came here to tell my story, and then you didn't read it. THE END.
