I have already thought of this. I don't think it would be too difficult to bring a hack checker and a flash cart to check said Pokemon. I can't see it being more than a dozen anyway, so checking them would take a fairly minimal amount of time, whilst reproducing them would be much quicker.
Wow, you're pretty right. It seems that having someone else look at opponents' teams, according to you, can get us as a group in trouble. However, we still can look ourselves individually, as nowhere in the rules does it explicitly ban looking at opponents teams. They even had a TV last year at one table. When I was talking about "infecting" other game carts, I was saying if one of us meeting before the event didn't go by the honor system and brought hacked pokemon, we'd all get infected. Also, you can't get in trouble for trading a hacked pokemon to as person, as it's their fault for not knowing if the pokemon they received. PUI even says in the rules that "Players found to have Pokémon that have been tampered with will be disqualified from the event, regardless of whether the player tampered with his or her game or received a Pokémon or item that was tampered with by someone other than the player. It is the player’s responsibility to have legal Pokémon." So the best way to avoid us getting in trouble for hacks is to have our 6 (each person) pokemon hack checked, and to only have those pokemon traded amongst only ourselves.
If the metagame was based on a certain 4-6 pokemon, the later locations like Philadelphia (the most popular) and Nashville are going to be at an advantage. Besides, we already know that Metagross, Snorlax, Gyarados, Latios, and Cresselia are some of the most overused doubles pokemon
My japanese Platinum box says on the back
I'm going to have to agree with this one. I only live about 40 minutes from Navy Pier. There are a thousand viable locations to host the event in the area, but no...
then what european players have to say?
I don't really think the negative feedback is from Nintendo, but rather from other sites. I know Serebii and Gfaq's consider us a bunch of stuck up, OU-addicted grammar Nazis.
Well, as the previous poster said, most sites think we are too competitive and that weare unfair in that we "control" the tier system. Aslo, we should be afraid to say irl that we are from smogon, or Nintendo will find out, and there might be another conspiracy like skarm's JAA conspiracy theory states.
wanna come up to A2 and pick me up first?
The 1 hour drive isnt to much, when, say you travel 300+ miles which i have to do. But yeah, you should go for the shiny milotic lol. Hopefully the signal can reach your game lol.
Hey i might go to the phoenix event too! It's like 300+ miles for me though.
