We allow boobs/penis speak here, fella.
My two cents would indicate strongly that a pokemons nickname is an indication of the original trainer. If they wanna name them "Bonerface" who are you to argue? You use their pokemon, use the name they give it. Do you change your name cause your boss doesn't like the name Jeff? No.*
*Yes it's just a game, but who really cares about shitty nicknames anyways?
This. Its impossible for a hack filter to get something that's hacked unless the person has no knowledge of what they're hacking.
The hex codes someone brought up is preserved in PokeSav, just that the default is straight 0's. Events would have other hex values, I think.
Thats not the issue however.
The problem is that there might be a checksum or hash of the pokemon's data, including the nickname. If you do not change this secret number correctly, your pokemon can be flagged as hacked. If I were to make an anti-hack of a pokemon, I'd hash the entire structure because it would be simpler than hashing the data one at a time (at least in C / C++).
Basically, every time you change data, maybe (or maybe not, depends on how it is implemented), there is a secret value you have to change. Maybe the game just checks to see if the pokemon data and this secret data matches up.
This post made me lawl.
Anyway, I like personalized Pokemon, which is why I always breed my Pokemon myself. But what can you do with an unbreedable Pokemon, like Cressy or Azelf? Or what if you get a Seismic Toss Blissey or Wish Bagon? If you breed them, you lose their moves. Personally, I would change the names of the Pokemon, unless the breeder specifically said not to.
Of course, if you plan to put it up in a shop, then that goes out the window. Pokemon that are to be traded should be completely untouched by the likes of AR and Pokesav. Then again, what are you doing trading someone else's Pokemon?
tbh I am not against this.
You traded for a poke dare you want customization I think you should be able to.
It's not like it's making it fail a hacking check.
Here's Why: (LULZ LONG POST AHEAD.)
I got an AR 3 days ago, after reading this thread and researching Pokesav and AR codes, I finally realized today that to get a name rated by a name rater to rate your name all you need is the following.
The OT
The ID (No Secret ID)
The Gender of the Original OT
Rather easy to obtain via Pokesav and the Pokemon you need to nickname.
And I am not an idiot, I didn't forget to back up my SID, ID, OT, and Gender on a code.
I tested several times with a couple of pokes.
Firstly, I took Fodder from a trade with Anti and copied down the obvious onto Pokesav and made a code.
OT: Anti
ID: 47956
Sex: Male
By pressing the oh-so-obvious L+R I was now Anti, so lulz.
I flew to Eterna with my Sweet Ride and went into the Nickname House.
I then tested with the Fodder he gave me and whatcha know?
I was able to turn the Parichisu and Buizel names into UberHax.
At this point I turned off my DS, cause I didn't feel like using my OT code again at this point.
So far it looks like so:
Pokemon from Sinnoh: 2
I then repeated this process with 2 Other Reigon pokes.
I tried it with Kimmy's (Anti's) Zapdos. (He was lazy to nickname it so ya know, I did it for him.) and my Colosseum Raikou.
Anyways.
BLAH-BLAH-SWEET-RIDE-BLAH-BLAH-NAME-RATER
I get to the Name Rater with the OT, ID and Gender of Kimmy and ROBERT,
Both worked, as expected.
So I came to the conclusion that you only need the OT, ID, and Gender to nickname pokes.
Long post eh?
Bored the shit out of me but whatever, now people know how to do it without making the poke look cheated.

Was that sarcasm? lulz?
Anyways, that was the truth.
I thought it was useful info so ya know I posted it.
I also posted my opinion, and really I am fine with it.
You won't be trading it again unless it's redistributable which in that case get it cloned before making your private copy.
Ok really, there is no 'Pokemon renaming' as much as 'overwriting the data of a certain slot with data you choose.'
So in reality all you are asking someone to do is to release a pokemon you trade to them and give back a pokesav'd one. And as far as I know, pokesaving isn't perfect in terms of the miscellaneous 'caught here, hatched there, etc' details, although I haven't delved into them myself to see if I could fiddle it just right. After all, "hackers" like myself don't have any need to trade so why bother?

I was actually serious. I got my Plust's Blissey renamed with PokeSav, but I doubt anyone will check it.
It's still legit in my eyes. If people complain about it being "hacked", then I'll just get another copy and have someone with AR follow those steps you provided to rename it correctly. Thus... It's good to know.
... and I still want your Spagilitygross :P
Well, can the checker check and say the only reason it came up as illegit is due to the fact that it was named using Poke'Sav?
If you alter a legit pokémon in anyway with pokésav it get's the trademark errors all pokésaved pokémon get.
So it completely ruins legitimacy? Theres no way to tell that it was only nicknamed with 'Sav, not tampered with IV's, stats, etc.?
nope as far as I know there is no way of telling what exactly was done to the pokemon with sav'd just that it was sav'd
Exactly what I was saying.
It's possible it's just is a bit harder than just using PokeSav.
Like I said earlier all you need is the following:
- The OT of The Pokemon
- The ID of The Pokemon
- The Gender of The OT
It's not all that hard. All of those are obtained via Pokesav, which in that case you can just Pokesav those and a backup of your info. (ID, SID, Name, Gender)
And that is not all that hard.
It won't come up as Pokesav'd cause you used the Name Rater to do it.
You really only need to use Pokesav as a tool in this process. And it only takes about 15 minutes, OH WOW; about a 5 minute difference from being legit/non-legit.
Earlier I explained my own reasearch, it will continue there.
Everyone is like "IT R IMPOZZIBLEZ 2 NIK VIAZ DA POKAHSAVE WIHTOT IT BEING NON-LEGIT!!1112"
Of course, but you can use pokesav as a tool and then use the Name Rater to nickname it in about 15 minutes, while loading your save/code on an R4/ARDS takes about 10 minutes. A 5 minute difference for being legit, will you do that?
