It may be possible, but PBR certainly won't tell you if a Pokemon is legit or not. All it does it look for illegal Pokes, not legit ones. If you want to take the risk and attempt to make hacks that will fool nintendo then go ahead, if that's a risk you want to take.
I'm pretty sure it was done by at least one person in the last tournament.
 
There are several errors in your list. I will mark them in bold.

For the Pokemon Showdown 2009 tournament. I was thinking, for some Pokemon they not only learn certain moves only in later evolutions, but that they are also past level 50. Here's what I have so far along with reasoning:

Note: Pokemon with a "*" Next to their name can learn the move naturally through levelling up as a previous evolution, but even their previous evolution learns it past level 50. The only way to get the move is through breeding. Basically its just a heads-up


Charizard - Flare Blitz Lv. 66 (Charmander nor Charmeleon learn it)
Nidoking - Megahorn Lv. 58 (Nidoran nor Nidorino learn it)
Nidoking FRLG Lv. 43; Incompatible with Rivalry, Toxic Spikes

Ok, just finished with the Eeveelutions. Poor guys got the shaft

The last note is of course, that any gendered pokemon can have any Level-up move. Just but a breeding move on a male and breed with a female that shares the desired Level-Up move and bang, the new offspring will have any breed moves and shared level-up moves.
 
Also, people play Shoddy because A) You can play on the internet without stupid friend codes and B) You don't have to spend 10 hours breeding the Pokemon of your choice.

I'm not trying to get into a debate, but it seems that some people are a bit hypocritical on their standing (not Sunday)

Well there's a feeling of success and pride when you spend X hours to create your team on the game, and be successful with it. This is because you really worked to get what you have instead of taking a fast and easy way out. While if you play shoddy, you play a more convienent game that takes 5 - 10 min to create an entire team. The whole reason people play wifi is so that they can prove to both themself - and to their opponent - that they took the time to really create something unique and be successful with it.

Then in that case what's the point behind why people play Shoddy? Its essentially the same thing as Wifi.

Also, did anyone notice that someone combined my thread with this other one? Weird.

Also, BlakBlastoise, I like your sig. Real arrogance right there.

And Deck Knight, I probably wasn't going to do compatibility/imcompatibility nor was I going to talk about 3rd gen pokemon without DPP. But thanks for pointing out the mistakes I made with TMs. I tried making sure not to include the TM ones but I must have slipped over a few. Thanks

Uh no, BlakBlastoise was showing an ignorant post YOU made earlier saying that if you hack a pokemon to make the hack check to not say it's a hack that that makes it legit, which is extremely incorrect...
 
He was tying to make a list for people who Hack, so they wouldn't hack a pokemon with a move that it should not have since the pokemon for the showdown can be lv 50 max
Most these moves can be passed on through parents and thus are not illegal unless I'm missing something. Also why not just go to Serebii and look it up there?
 
A Pokémon can only learn a level-up move from breeding if both parents know the move AND the move is somewhere in the baby's level-up list. Hence, even if you breed two Vaporeon that know Hydro Pump together, the Eevee you hatch will NOT know Hydro Pump because Eevee does not learn Hydro Pump via level-up.

On the other hand, some moves should not be on that list. For instance, a female Scyther or Scizor with Feint could breed with any compatible male Pokémon that also knew Feint and get a baby Scyther with Feint.
 
look, the purpose of the asterix is soley to REMIND people. You want a Scizor with Feint? Thats fine, but don't think you'll be getting it via levelling it. You need to make sure the Parents have feint to ensure that the Scizor will get it to. You don't want to level up your Scizor to level 49 only to realize that Feint, a move you wanted on it is impossible to get until past level 50.

Its a precaution for Breeders. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
I am loling at blakblastoise's sig right now. So funny.


anyways, at the above post, nothing outside of Japan has technically been confirmed yet. But chances are there will be at least something outside of Japan and the USA.
 
Well, on the offical Pokemon Forums, i posted this:

Seeing how Pokemon VGS 2008 was a sucess, i do believe that it would be safe to assume that this will happen again in 2009.
On some other sites, there are lots of rumors going about from "VGS won't happen in 2009","There are going to be more Qualifyers in 2009", and "Only Pokemon Platinum can be used"
now i know it is still early, and PUI still has City championships to worry about for now,and pokemon Platinum is not even out state side yet, but can any of these rumors be confirmed or denyed? or maybe even get some dates to look for?
~ultimatedra~

With that, i got a response from Mike Liesik,Organized Play Associate for
Pokemon USA, Inc.

so...we still wait.
 
They wouldn't just have qualifiers in 47 prefectures across Japan and then hold the finals in San Diego without having at least one qualifier stateside too.

And if I remember correctly, the Pokemon Emerald showdown took place in April of 2005, about a month before the game was released to the general public. They could do something similar with Platinum.
