This year’s Pokémon World Championship tournament saw organisers disqualify multiple pros using hacked Pokémon teams, sparking debate across the community.
Using hacked Pokémon is technically against the rules, but players haven’t always been caught. However, at this year’s tournament in Yokohama, Japan, the rules were seemingly tightened and many players who travelled across the world were disqualified.
As a result, the community has been debating whether using hacked teams is an acceptable method of saving time, or if it’s against the spirit of the monster training games.
