TalkBack / Re: The High Barriers to Entry in Competitive Pokémon
« on: December 09, 2012, 01:07:19 PM »
As a person interested in getting into competitive play, I stumbled onto this article which gave me a decent bit of information I was lacking (as the last time I had played was original Gold). However, as I read through the comments, I saw people attempting to legitimatize using external programs to create Pokemon so as to save time. While I can see and accept their point regarding the end result being the same, I feel that these people have failed to look at one very important paragraph in the Pokemon VG Rules:
2.1. External Devices
The use of external devices to modify or create items or Pokémon in a player’s party is expressly
forbidden. Players found to have Pokémon or items that have been tampered with will be disqualified
from competition, regardless of whether the Pokémon or items belong to that player or were traded for.
Players should only have Pokémon that they have raised themselves and items that they have received
through normal game play. It is always the player’s responsibility to have legal Pokémon and items
during the competition.
This information is publicly made available at Pokemon's official site. No matter how you swing it, using programs to create Pokemon (even within their statistical limits) is cheating, as defined in the rules of the game.
