I hope this is okay to post; I checked the rules before I made this thread.
When I was trying to get into competitive battling seriously I remember freaking out about anything to do with hacks; being a frequent wonder trader I of course had quite a few of those hacked Pokémon from groups like Auslove and Sakati and I did my fair share of releasing them in the interest of “fairness”. Ultimately there were a bunch in a box that I let dissolve away infinity-war style with my old save file after starting a new game.
Since I never got to go to tournaments and life has made it very clear that I’m never going to be a “professional Pokémon trainer”, I’ve softened my stance on these guys somewhat. I wouldn’t battle someone with them without getting their okay first and I wouldn’t con anyone out of a legit shiny, but I still enjoy having them on my system for stupid fun. Also the Love Ball is one of my favorite Poke Balls so I love that that’s AusLove’s special gimmick.
Also, I don’t know if people can put non-standard abilities/moves on them or not but it would be fun to play a Hackmons match on an actual game rather than just in Showdown.
What do you think about these gifts? Do you release them right away? Do you keep them even though they don’t have the same kind of value? Are there any really cool ones you got in a wonder trade?
