Hello this may sound like a weird first post froma new user but I think that it is important to aknoweledge that Bozo's infamous TRUTH Gyrados
is probably hacked. But, wait I have some proof. This may as well be brought to everyone's attention as it is a fairly common redistributable pokemon. By lurking, it is very abundant in the forums. Bozo's TRUTH may as well me a DECEPTION. As corny as that sounds it is true..lol. This gyrados is most likely hacked due to its
Footprint Ribbon #36. I received Bozo's TRUTH on
the Serebii forums and thought maybe the person I received it from hacked the ribbons onto it but I realized Bozo himself trades it with 36 ribbons and was made redistributable with 36 ribbons. By these pictures(below) Gyrados is unable to obtain a footprint ribbon without a fooprint whereas something like Eevee does.
[Note the small white circles]
Therefor, unable to obtain a footprint ribbon, due to its absense of a footprint, this gives me the idea that all of the others ribbons are most likely hacked onto it as well.
Perhaps Bozo has an explanation for this? It is
impossible to get that ribbon. And there are quite a few other factors regarding ribbons that implies that the Gyrados is hacked , or had it's ribbons hacked. Ironically, the contest ribbons appear as they are asked to be participated in, in Heathrome City's contest hall. "Cool, Beatuy,Cute,Tough,Smart". (Correct me if they automatically appear this way as the effort ribbon atomatically appears first. Also, Bozo's TRUTH has a Link Battle Tower Ribbon. May I ask him who he battled with to achieve this? Nonetheless, TRUTH has an un-obtainable ribbon on it. Here's what happens when a pokemon without a footprint is taken to the house where you obtain the ribbon:
For the sake of this example, I used a Ditto, which is another pokemon without a footprint.
This NPC is unable to "read a pokemon's thoughts" if they don't have a footprint, again, Gyrados does not have a footprint, so in conclusion, the gyrados MUST be hacked, or had it's ribbons
hacked onto it.
One more note, even in his thread, he trades it with the Footprint ribbon seen
here.
