Play other JRPGs than Pokémon then like a normal person.

The problem seems more that he was selling and profiting off of it.
>>

99% chance unc was a pdf anyway

>>730983732
So? He's not even modifying the game itself, he's modifying the save files. Imagine if other companies did this.

You seem to miss the part where he is selling the modified data. No one gives a fuck what you modify so long as you aren't making a buck of it and going to tournaments with that shit.

Don't sell hacked games with hacked saves, it's pretty simple

>Play other JRPGs
>like a normal person
For those that come after, am I right fellow normiechad? Such a good game, changed my entire life... no other piece of media compares, I quit my job and excommunicated my family to spread the word of this brand new genre of 'video game'... life has meaning again.
>>
>>730984952

>>730985254
It should be illegal but only because I want to gatekeep retards who can't even manage to edit their own saves
>>
>>730984952
>>730985254
If he was selling pirated copies of the game with a hack applied, that would be bad.
If he was selling a service of hacking games / save files, there should be no problem.

Dunno about the US or other western countries but I'm all but certain you can get busted for this back in bongland too. R4 cards got banned at some point, at any rate. At least in Japan I can't get vanned for loli.

He was only selling save data and yes it is ILLEGAL in corpocucked Japan.
>https://www.japaneselawtranslation.go.jp/en/laws/view/2803/en
They claim he violated the Unfair Competition Prevention Act by selling hacked save data because it supposedly interfered with Game Freak's business. By this logic, cosmetic mods are also illegal too because they interfere with the developer's business of selling skins/cosmetics.

Never forget Nintendo tried to have used game sales OUTLAWED because they were pissed at people buying 2nd-hand and wanted everyone to pay full price. They didn't succeed thankfully, but never forget that Nips have greed that rivals the Jews.

I pray that Pokemon Champions auto sets every IV to 31 so we never have to fuck with this bullshit ever again

you are defending this monumental waste of resources on prosecuting a modder. do you understand how retarded you sound?

IVs and EVs are inspired mechanics, and I'd never want them gone.
If anything, I wish they put in more obscure mechanics that 90% of people won't engage with but 5% of players will be tortured by indefinitely.

that's because they're hidden values moron. to casualfaggots anything they can't see doesn't exist

>>
>>730986305
EVs are fine because they add actual strategy and customization to your mons. IVs are a dumb bullshit grind especially when you have to find shit with 0 speed or 0 atk.
>>
>>730985913
second hand selling is common in Japan, especially videogames
>>
>>730983589
>selling
Good, paid mods should be punishable by death
>>
>>730986592
Have they not implemented something like a Bottle Cap but for setting IV's to 0 yet?

Crazy how much sympathy there is for people selling cheats.
>>
>>730983589
We have this in Denmark too. But it's weird to see how in Japan they crack down on game modding and stuff. I suppose in many cases their ulterior purpose is to protect company rights. In my country the focus is on End 2 End criminals, like Crime as a Service or people who view CP.
It's pretty recent though. It seems that a lot of countries have been given the tools to start an "Online Police" and the implementation differs from country to country, but all have been given an "order" to do it. It coincides with all the Age Verification shit and censorship of social media. Makes you think.
>>
>>730985623
You won't get arrested for hacking in shiny dittos to pokemon games. We're not that fucked yet

If the software is on my machine, I can modify it however I please.

The law is incorrect.

>>730983838
yeah but it's an illegal business, you can't just sell stuff unreported
>>
>>730992114
it literally tells you that you can't modify the game in any way when you start it and you have to agree to it to start playing
you agreed to it, it's your problem
>but i didn't agree
then you can't play the game
>>
>>730993293
I paid money, I received the files. Any agreement you try to shove in my face AFTER that is irrelevant and not binding.
>>
>>730983838
You don't have a right to redistribute video games though

Japan is another bitch of the usa so even if you get fooled by what appears to be a dominant exotic culture what truly matters in its behavior is that it mimicks the same kikery seen in goymerica. A conquered country of yellow slanted eyes hypocrites.
I mean, look at the recent resident evil trailer, can you whore yourself out more than that to the globohomo international market? I don't think that's possible. Chinks are right to hate nips.

Just look at VAC ban threads. There are people defending cheating nonstop, like even people from west constantly arguing that cheating and hacking should be allowed etc.

First of all fuck Nintendo but yeah you're going to get ass fucked in zipper land if you sell pirated shit wirelessly.
>>
>>730983589
This prooves again why I hate the mainline Pokémon games.
In a good RPG, selling hacked characters with perfect RNG values shouldn't even be possible because your power should depend on grinding and skilled build making, not RNG values and catching the same thing 500 times for "the perfect IVs and Natures".

Here the article, the actual NHK news article got deleted.
https://www.ign.com/articles/japanese-police-arrest-36-year-old-man-on-suspicion-of-tampering-with-pokemon-violet-save-data

The person was arrested for a new 2019 law against unfair competition on online games.
https://www.japaneselawtranslation.go.jp/en/laws/view/3629
So it's pretty much an anti doping law for cheating online.

What money was scammed and from who?
Someone wanted to buy a save file and he sold it to them, what was the fucking "scam" here?
A save file is not copy of the game, it does not function outside of the game, anyone who can share said file has to own the game, a save file is literal progress in the game, if someone is lazy enough not to play the game themselves and wants to skip progress, that's what sharing save files are for. Sometimes you need save files because of game bugs, softlocks etc.

How the fuck do you make sharing a save file illegal? Make it make sense
