Pokemon modifier

[jvt0727]

Correct me if I am wrong...

a.) All pokemon caught in-game are legal.

how about pokemon caught in-game by using the pokemon modifier code? is it still legal/legit?

* i cant seem to differentiate legal form legit...

[FLOOTENKERP]

Pokémon caught in game are legit. Pokémon caught in game with a modifier code, it depends. Does the code make good IV/PID combos? If so then the Pokémon caught in game with a modifier code is legal.

It also depends if the pokemon can actually be legally caught in the first place. If you use the modifier to catch a wild mew or mewtwo, then it would neither be legit or legal.

That was i am thinking about because i used the modifier to catch a shroomish in the marsh even though it is not their day to show up. is that legit still?

[InuYouki]

On the surface it would seem like it, but I think code wise no. Just like how if you catch a munchlax on a tree other then the four you are supposed to per your SID they come up haxed. One would assume pokemon caught in the Marsh are just as in depth.

So long story short I would say no.

The difference being that the Honey Tree Munchlax came from will show up as a route number in the Trainer Memo, whereas any Pokémon caught in the Great Marsh, no matter the area or day, will simply show Great Marsh. So for the Shroomish example, I do not believe there will be any way to tell the difference between one caught on the right day and one caught on the wrong day.

Good point. However, isn't the date caught part of the poke info?

[Neo]

Any pokemon that i have used the modifier code on have shown up as legal in the legit checker.

Yes, but the date in which the Pokémon should have been in the Great Marsh is not a part of the Pokémon's info. Therefore, no one would know the difference.

Legit - Pokemon received without the use of any external cheating devices.
Legal - Pokemon received with the use of any external cheating devices, but funtions as if it were legit.

Does that mean that if I use ranger to get a Manaphy Egg, then use a Save manager to restore the backed up save, then transfer ANOTHER egg, that it would be legit?

[damio]

It should say "external devices".

[jvt0727]

does that mean the pokemons i caught using pokemon modifier will be usable in pokemon tournaments?

As long as their legal.
In other words, no Marshtomps caught on Route 201, etc.
