Is it tru that now hacked mons can easily spam the ladder, following the no-pentagon rule? or is it just me?
I am sure that TPCi will hold special checks to check and quarantine the stuff from official tournaments, but the main prob is the Ranking series of youtubers being a downfall *no more quality learning*
Plz help cuz i freak out whenever i think of it!
I'm gonna be blunt with you....yes and no. Yes as in there are still gonna be people who actually "know" how to powersave/pokegen their Pokemon from this generation or previous games, but honestly TCPI won't ever figure out how to stop one day. You know something that's been true, that won't stop people from hacking or powersaving to get better Pokemon. Battle Spot has been give far stricter hack checks so you cannot bring a pokemon with an illegal moveset, met location, or any other stuff that's not possible within the games. Sure your record won't be on the battle spot rankings on the Pokemon Global Link if you use a powersaved Pokemon but you really need to practice with your team and don't give a crap about ratings. What I'm trying to get at is worry about the practicing the game, rather than just complain about hack mons we can't do anything about.
Well if this is eventually gonna be the "new" ruleset, then for sure the TOs and the organizers from Play Pokemon are gonna have a difficult time memorizing all the event exclusive Pokemon from previous generations. If you are still practicing for VGC 15 tournaments, I suggest to go on showdown so that you can get 100% practice if certain move tutors are gonna come back. If you do try battle spot for VGC 15 practice, you can write off your losses if something like follow me magmar helped contribute to your lose but at least know how to deal with them.
