I'm so pissed off about all this. But I wish you luck in Orlando! :D
I made it out of there with 20 PokeBalls. :) Center pieces for the wedding FTW!!!!!!!!!!!Some of us tried to furtively deflate the balls and smuggle them out, until we realized the staff didn't really care at all.
Most likely the same Hotel where they held the TCG Championships, which was in a Hotel at Dowtown Disney.Congrats on top 8. I wonder where in Orlando the next round is being held, I might go and watch.
I made 100% sure I didn't have hacks by starting a new game and not trading with anyone or on the GTS, I was being very cautious a I didn't want to be DQed due to some hacked Cranidos I got off the GTS.I'm a little surprised your pokemon didn't turn up as hacks.
Not to say that you're a hacker, but they claimed they can check for any AR codes used - cloning, unlimited items, even having a hacked pokemon on your game.
As long as you do that on a different cartridge and trade them over to the cartridge you would use for the event, I would assume so, but I don't know for sure.So, basically,if I hack perfect parents and breed for perfect babies, that'd be legit?
WAIT! Are you serious that they accepted pokesave'd pokemon as legit? That seriously pisses me off even though I have no plans of participating in the showdown. There really seems to be no place left for battling with pokemon you bred and raised yourself except with people you trust (who have also agreed to that clause).I totally went to this. Though I spent most of the time puppydogeyeing cuddles off of Yamipoli and making out with my boyfriend (Blueki), I still saw everyone. XP
CPUV2.0 I totally saw that shirt, so that must have been you.
From what the officials said the hack-checking device only checked the party. I don't know if they were bullshitting though or just plain had no idea. Yamipoli took a million pictures of the boxes with the DS shells and of the slots so I'm sure eventually anyone who didn't get to go and was curious about that will get to see? It took a bunch of Pokesavs and other "Hi I'm not legit" Pokemon, I really think it was only doing like a stat check, like PBR.
Weakestlink33, nope, no event pokemnos.
think they had to do that because of the GTS. What if people tossed Pokesaved stuff onto the GTS and you got it? They can't blame you for it. Knowing this, they know that doing a 100% hack check could possibly disqualify a lot of people, which is why they cut it short into checking stuff for legitimacy.WAIT!

actually i sent an email asking about using gts pokemon and they said thisthink they had to do that because of the GTS. What if people tossed Pokesaved stuff onto the GTS and you got it?

I mean, if you got a really good Lonely Azelf off the GTS, and then used it for the tourney, without the knowledge that it is hacked or not, they can't say "well get it hack checked beforehand", or "use your own Pokemon", right?
EDIT: oh nvm i misread the post.It doesn't matter where you got the Pokemon from. If it has been modified with an external device and you attempt to play with it, you will be disqualified from the event.
