Yes, people are cheating at Pokémon X&Y

I don’t know why it is people insist on cheating in online games and ruining it for everybody else, but it’s a thing that’s most certainly quite prevalent. Just about any online, competitive multiplayer game is subject to cheaters – even 3D ones like Pokémon X&Y. How in the hell are people cheating in 3DS games?

It seems some clever, but unscrupulous people have found a way of intercepting the data that’s transmitted over the internet between two battling Pokemon trainers, taking out the fun of actually battling people on the internet.

Pokémon Battle Analyser is an app you run on your PC, which you then use as your Wi-Fi hotspot for your 3DS. It lets you see Nature, Ability, IVs, EVs, and move sets of the critters you’re fighting against, along with whatever moves your opponent choses to make, allowing you to react accordingly.

If you’ve been finding yourself lose more battles than win – despite having what you think are winning strategies, this might be the reason why. It would be such an easy thing to fix, too – all GameFreak needs to do is encrypt the data and issue a patch.

    *le sigh*

    I’m not sure whether to be disgusted at the cheaters who are ruining the fun for everyone or whether to be upset with the developers for overlooking such a basic security flaw.

            Charmander uses ignore comment attack….. It wasn’t very effective

            Well there is your problem. I suggest you buy the Bohemia pack on steam for R80 and then install Dayz epoch and play on the SA servers only to be killed by some friend of the admin who can teleport.

      You know, cheating (to me) used to be a thing of a cheatcode in a singleplayer game to see what lulz I could have.

      Doing this in a social environment and actually affecting other people’s games? That’s just poor form man

    The whole GTS is encrypted from this type of spoofing software so we know they can. From what I can tell this looks identical to the fan made “Auto IV checker” when breeding “flawless” pokemon.

    And I just got into the competitive battles after breeding EV training and leveling for 50 hours…I hate cheaters!
