Greetings again fellow trainers and collectors!
I currently have this interesting question on my mind that I wanted to ask away on this forum.
I am genuinely interested in all of your stances towards this topic so feel free to let me know.
What if you end up with a Pokémon that was a confirmed fully legit TSV hatched shiny at some point in the early days of X&Y and that can be found in many trade threads, but then you find out that it got slightly manipulated by someone with Powersaves! (For example: changed the ball, changed the IV spread and or the nature).
Now, since I own a Powersaves device myself for cloning purpose, I was wondering if I were to be allowed to revert such a manipulated Pokémon back to the original Ball, IV spread and nature combination that it was originally known for, or is it irrecoverably soiled forever? Does it keep the "manipulated" status even after having been reverted back to its original form?
I received such a Pokémon in question in a random trade recently and have been struggling with the decision whether or not I should do this.
I mean, it'd be nice to have it in its original form, right?
What would you guys do in this situation?
I am really looking forward to reading your thoughts on this matter.
Best greetings.
