PKHeX: Discussion

In a way, I'm kinda pleased that they've managed to get it to work with just the 3DS itself. It reminds me of Pokécheck when it was still up and going, in that every 'mon came through wi-fi. I more than likely will use it, since I'm afraid to use Powersaves a lot and at least this way you won't easily brick your cartridge.

 

Yayy this is gonna be a treat. It seems like a less tedious process than Pokegenning with my Gen 5 games. It's unfortunate that Pokecheck won't be working for Gen 6 since that was so much easier but this is fine too I guess.

 

I'm a little iffy on the subject of hacking in general, and this program makes it way to easy for people to manipulate the game, not that powersaves didn't do that before. However, as long as the Pokémon can't get into wifi, I think it should be fine. I won't be using the program myself, but I do think it's an interesting idea for those who just like playing around with the aspects of different Pokémon.

 

I'll probably use it, I used PokeCheck back in Gen 5, so wynaut?

 

How long do you reckon we'll have before Nintendo nukes this vulnerability?

 

I'd use it just because of how tedious breeding can be. If only my new computer were here...

 

I want to say that will last for at least a week. Nintendo is good at preventing these methods from lasting for long periods of time, but not good enough to stop it in less than a week. Even if they do, there is always the option to ignore the firmware update until you have genned the Pokémon you want.

 

Hopefully it'll be a month's long wait, or, by some miracle, it can't be patched (since they said it was a ram exploitation). Otherwise, a) there'll be no wifi for me for a while until I find the cash to get a new 3ds (I was gonna buy a second one anyway) or b ) bite the bullet, get the update and seek out people willing to inject .pkx files in their games for you.

 

Why? Is your current 3DS broken? I'm personally not getting the New 3DS until my birthday in July, because I don't have the money, and because the only reason I want one at the moment is for Xenoblade Chronicles X, which probably isn't coming out anytime soon.

 

No. It's fine. It's just I'm concerned about whether or not Nintendo will release an update, that will in turn disable the use of wi-fi until you update to the latest version and lose the ability to perform this exploit.

 

I didn't even think of that. Hopefully they won't think to do that.

 

They patched it -3 months later
