I remember when a couple dudes wanted to pay me for GameSharking + Mewing to trade

I turned down the money because we were just kids and I knew their parents and didn't want to take their money.

Good thing you did. Nintendo would come after you.

Probably for the best, could you imagine if they turned out to be 16 unruly Charizards who wouldn't listen to people similar to Ash's?

He's one of not the website hackers who flood Surprise Trade, right? I got one from a guy who bypass the censor with spaces to say "oh fuck" in his name.

I seriously loathe these people.

I wonder, what's stopping someone from offering to 'procure' pokemon someone requests (i.e. EV trained, certain IVs or shinies) under the guise of convenience services but really just hacking the mons?

This guy didn't disguise his little business

Yeah. There's loads of hackers who will try to prey upon people who don't have the time for raising Pokemon. Since Gen 7 or so, Pokemon has a feature of a random trade with someone else online. It's since been flooded with hackers who nickname their hacks with a website name that they want you to visit so they can sell you hacks.

I'm certain that Game Freak will axe the feature, but there's also raids where people are coming in with website-named Pokemon and select random moves. They usually don't help much (such as a type weakness to the Raid Pokemon) and it's all infuriating. I just want to give out Pokemon in Love Balls I have bred and every five or so trades is a fucking peddler.

I don't think particular guy is one of them, but what I've said is the sad state of affair and given how elusive these hackers are, Game Freak themselves don't have the power alone to stop them.
