Summary

  • Pokemon Surprise Trades may involve hacked Pokemon used for advertising websites.
  • Players are frustrated with receiving hacked Pokemon and are finding ways to deal with them.
  • Suggestions to prevent fake trades include stripping Pokemon names and trainer details.

As a dedicated fan of Pokemon, I’ve noticed a concerning issue being highlighted within the gaming community: issues persist with Surprise Trades in the games, which are often showcased for advertising purposes. To add fuel to the fire, these Surprise Trades frequently involve hacked Pokemon.

For quite a few game generations, the Pokemon series has included Wonder Trades or Mystery Trades, where participants trade Pokemon without knowing each other in advance. This random pairing can result in interesting or unusual Pokemon being received, but sometimes players end up with something of little value. However, there’s an ongoing concern among players about a problem with Mystery Trades that needs addressing.

On Reddit, user Altruistic-Grape9776 posted a meme about their experience of taking part in Surprise Trades, where they receive hacked Pokemon offering advertising websites. Many users have since chimed in with their own stories, interacting with the original poster (OP), and expressing their views on this issue. It’s not uncommon for players participating in Surprise Trades to get a Shiny or Powerful IV Pokemon, often wrapped in a Master Ball, but with its name changed to a web address promoting questionable services. These websites usually sell hacked Pokemon, making the received Pokemon an advertisement for an illegal service.

How Pokemon Fans Deal With Fake Surprise Trades

Several gamers have expressed their frustration with this problem and shared their individual strategies for managing it. It appears that some Pokemon enthusiasts prefer to keep the Pokemon, using them for team battles offline or for breeding purposes. In contrast, others decide to part ways with the Pokemon by releasing them, which rewards them with a Master Ball (often stored within) and any items previously held. However, it’s disheartening for players who release their Pokemon only to receive hacked goods in return instead of the expected reward.

As a passionate fan, I’ve been voicing my concerns about an ongoing issue in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet for quite some time now. The game claims to prevent illegitimate Pokemon from being traded, but it appears there are loopholes. In light of this, many players have proposed a solution: stripping the name of the Pokemon and its trainer before a Surprise Trade is finalized. This would erase any promotional elements tied to the Pokemon or trainer’s name, rendering hacked trades ineffective for those exploiting it for commercial gain. It’s yet to be seen whether this issue will be addressed in future games like Pokemon Legends: Z-A, but I sure hope for a positive resolution.
