How To Make The Pokemon Community Hate You 

Anyone who has spent time interacting with Pokémon fans over the years will just know that over 90% of Pokémon are hacked. I have seen the game sharks, the action replays, the homebrew 3DS's, the jailbroken switches. It no longer surprises me; Most people are either hacking or are friends with someone who is, and they just get hacked Pokémon from them.

Just follow your lead of calling people liars and cheaters without having actual proof.

i am a very competitive person and have thought about doing competitive pokemon but have seen videos about cheating and so i never really did more research on how much cheating was going on aand i was in high school at the time and didnt have a ton of time anyways so i didnt see a need to search knowing i wasnt able to do it anyways. Now that I'm 20 and coming back to see these types of videos i do think i will never engage in competitive Pokemon in its current state. Yes i have done RNG manipulation in the past in gen 6 games in the past year but i would never use those mons in a competitive setting anyways considering i want to be the best the hard way because beating someone by grinding and just outplaying someone is way more rewarding knowing you put in the time and effort to be good. That does bring up my view on RNG manipulation because up until the Blisey Debunked video i watched before this one i had no idea RNG manipulation was against the VGC rules but i guess it makes sense because you need the Homebrew to do it making it not legit. that being said doing RNG manipulation for shinies for your personal use is far different than doing it for a huge advantage at a prize money event ESPECIALLY if its clearly stated to be illegal in the rule book. And when someone says they dont know about (blank) but, i stop listening anyways because for me to care what you have to say you need to have knowledge on it and not just spew words that sound fair. Its like asking how to make it to the NBA and getting input from a chef or something like that. Yeah you might have an idea even if you dont do it but you wouldnt ask the chef how to get to the NBA because they didnt make the NBA so they wouldnt be able to give good tips or ones that would work because if they had tips they would be in the NBA themselves. and to be fair the shiny egg rng in Alpha Sapphire got stale anyways because it was too easy and i got bored and felt weird getting that many that quickly knowing its supposed to be hard and take time.

As much as they are trying to compare training pokemon to witling chess pieces, i wonder how they would feel about people comparing hacked pokemon to fake currency

I would totally cheat if this was my "career". Preparing for a tournament, but I would use a different game and legit pokemon for official events. But I have a job and no time for any of that.

It takes me at 3 hours of my free time to make a team in a single day. Tbh, the weekend is never that busy for anyone, in fact, if anyone has time to complain and defend cheating majority of their day, then that complaining time could be spent making a legit team. Also, next few months will mark the year the biggest cheating bust in Japan ever. Still sucks Wolfey hasn’t gotten banned

Pre-gen 6, I can understand why people cheat. No passing 5IVs from Destiny knot, and no guaranteed natures from everstone. Starting with X and Y, cheating is useless since you can breed competitive Pokemon much more easily and legitimately. That’s my overall opinion

Scarlet & Violet is one of the fastest games that allows you to get a competitive team ready. I don’t know why people complain about time

I can tell you the grind is insane I spent 9hrs playing through Pokémon sword to get a 0 atk Calyrex and will do the same for shield. But I do have access to other Pokémon as well so it works out.

I’m making a team legit through the game for an upcoming regional. That also included buying a game that I didn’t have, which is completely understandable. I’ve noticed with the meta changing in Regulation G changing so much, that players who cheat have such an advantage to instantly change their Pokemon. I also train track and field so I understand the countless hours you have to put in to just qualify to even be competitive, not to mention winning races. If you’re complaining that you have to work to compete, then you shouldn’t compete!

I'm so sick of that chess analogy. yes, imagine having to make your own pieces in a strategy BOARD GAME like that one VIRTUAL RPG with OPTIONAL competitive play. Because who would've thought the competitive play of a RPG would require you to engage in RPG-esque mechanics the game has ALWAYS revolved around.

Conditioning and training my body for a marathon is outrageous. Let me take some hrt and steroids, continuously eat junk food and run a mile so that I can have more time to myself to lounge around and hang with my friends. What???!! The price of running shoes are outrageous. Let me get some cheap Walmart running shoes so that I can save up on some money and buy hrt and steroids. This is what that comment st 5:05 is like.

"Just because you piss clean, doesn't mean you're not on steroids" Bars

I breed and train competitive pokemon for friends looks like I could make money on the side selling legit pokemon

It is genuinely hillarious just how many people are utterly incapable of understanding what cheating is, Not one other game in the world has this sheer level of brainrot and thats gone past the point of sad and is genuinely impressive at this point

I was hunting a shiny piplup for over 2 weeks (sort of lost track), managed to get it nearly 2 hours ago (mass outbreak in polar biome). if i can spend that much time without the need to cheat, then these people have no excuse for their hacking. Also there's another point to make: the people who make the consoles and games did it out of a love for the series and various franchises, all these hacked/modified devices and games just spit on all that love & hard work, and that just saddens me.

I quit playing pokemon competitively two years ago because i got hooked on souls games but I always keep up with your videos verlisify! Keep it up man! Your the voice of truth and reason in this corrupt community! I'll be tuning in for this video tomorrow! Much respect dude!!

Genning is explicitly against the rules. That's literally all that matters. We can go back and forth debating whether there is an advantage gained (there is) but it's irrelevant because its against the rules regardless. People are coping sooo hard trying to justify their lack of integrity.

I don't know much about Pokemon and found you because of your Palworld content. This is pretty fascinating. From my perspective you seem to be 100% in the right.

Lol what’s crazy is that game freak made building none legendary competitive teams so easy in Scarlet and violet by making tera shards, knocking hyper training down to level 50, vitamins, items, pokeballs, mints, and even sandwiches that can be use to shiny hunt as accessible as possible.. So having a job or not, creating a team can be done in 2hrs depending if you’re shiny hunting (which is the longest part really).. But with this perspective, it’s definitely easy to understand why folks had to cheat to get the shiny mons they wanted in the generations before.. like I recently saw that ray rizzo documentary and what made me chuckle was seeing the shiny legendaries they were playing with back then when obtaining them was close to impossible.. and then when he mentioned he stopped playing after being disqualified due to failing a team check just had me dying 😂😂

This is about to be a banger we been knew this but now he gotta say it louder for the dummies in the back 😂

I enjoy your content verlisify, keep it up. Wolfe only cares about his Creative Control (referring to SMG4's puzzle vision who wants 5 star ratings to have Control of everything)

From my understanding, your argument boils down to cheating = bad, and anything else on top of that can be omitted because the rule set allows it. Your not actually against things giving people advantages, because as along as its okay within the rule set, then its good, regardless of whether it gives an advantage. You addressed this already in the video, but for example, someone who works a 9-5 will always have a disadvantaged against someone who's job is to play pokemon. The other person cannot spend the amount of time a professional player plays because their too busy working to pay bills, and I could be wrong, but I've never seen you bring up the unfairness that wealth gives in competitive sports, and THEN say that we need to do something about this, but because the rule set mentions nothing about wealth, its okay for this unfair advantage to happen, but because genning is specified within the ruleset this is wrong. also to put the nail in the coffin, unironically the solution to cheating giving an unfair advantage is to promote cheating, because if everyone is cheating, then no one has an advantage. If everyone gens pokemon, then what time advantage would there be?There would be none, but I imagine you'll fall back to what really is your main argument, cheating = bad. I bring this up because its quite honestly a childish moral framework. If its in the law, its bad, if its not apart of the law, then its okay. Law doesn't equal morality, or at least, I argue it shouldn't, and I don't think I need to bother with obvious examples of why that's the case as history has provided many. People recognize that the pokemon company, while improved a lot over the years, still has a horrible way of providing access to certain pokemon strategies (specifically trick room). An example is Enamorus Therian, a great fairy trickroom sweaper, that needs to be 0 speed IV to fully work in trick room. How do you get a legit Enamorus with 0 speed IV? Oh you just have to play the entirety of pokemon legends arceus, catch her, then transfer her to home and HOPE you get 0 IV and if you don't, you have to erase your safe file, play the ENTIRE game again, just to have a CHANCE to get a 0 IV. This is an insane ask for a competitive pokemon player to do, yet according to the rule set, this is required. The solution is for gamefreak to actually implement more ways to built competitive teams, and they have added a lot, but they do need to add more, and until they do, players see fit that the rules the pokemon company have made are morally repugnant, because they ignore how the system is currently skewed to hurt trickroom players because they don't have the sufficient tools to make reliable trickroom teams, especially with legendaries. So yes, cheating doesn't always mean bad if a system is broken, just as breaking the law isn't always morally bad if the law is unjust.

How to make the Pokemon Community hate you: Be Based and Honest! Keep it up as always Verlis!

If they arent going to seriously put a stop to it why dont they make this instant team a simulation thing with a SIGNIFICANT drop in prize $ if any at all. Since the prep time for it is significantly less if any at all.

If you want Pokémon community to hate you be against cheating and call out the truth and call out bad actors who are lying, cheating and stealing and the Pokemon community will hate you and try to cancel you.

4:17 imagine being so bad at breeding that you struggle getting comp pokemon in SUN and MOON. I went back to SM/USUM to get a ribbon master A9 and it took me like an hour.

I think it's kinda funny that the creator of the most popular cheating software calls out cheaters and the community still defends said cheater. Like at this point just admit that competitors cheat. Everyone's going to do it anyway since the Pokemon company hardly cracks down on it. Why are we even pretending that like 98% of all players don't cheat? It's not even the exception anymore, cheating is literally the norm for Pokemon. It's why I don't even try to compete, I don't cheat.

Smart cheaters will have a hacked switch with max items, full pokedex 6iv etc and just local trade to and from a clean switch. There is very little reason to actually modify a pokemon in pokehex these days.

Instant Gratification and finding any loopholes that makes them feel like they're somehow not cheating even when they clearly are. Also Narcissism and other ego problems that makes them feel right and justified no matter what they're doing and how wrong they are

It sure is worth it keep up the video Verlisify waiting to watch this banger tomorrow

Alternative title: how to be hated for saying the truth

To go along with the "aquire pieces" argument. There's hundreds of rpgs and mmorpgs where you have to grind hundreds to thousands of hours just to obtain some of the best or rarest equipment in the game, which is required to even be slightly competitive. That time investment can also be multiplied 10 fold if the game has rng equipment stats. The mainstream pokémon community has it easy.

It's also sad that if the pokemon company would take a stance on it and enforce the rules, there wouldn't be so much controversy in the scene and hopefully cheaters would quit and it would grow in a healthy way. But they won't for some reason lol.

I brought a 100% legitimate team to Portland Regionals in January as my first ever live event. I went 6-3 and finished 67th. I can't help but wonder what the odds are that one of if not all 3 of my losses were to people with genned teams. I'm actually quite happy with my performance but it is definitely weird knowing I was likely the victim of at least one bad actor.

*sits a her already setup chair and table with snacks to watch more pokemon drama and offers it to others* wants some? ^^ (keep it up Verlisify :D )

Notice how all these casuals keep quoting teams from Gen 6/7. They can't quote a modern team because they do not play. They have no idea what they're doing. They have inferior methods because no one in the community but this channel and Nirth is teaching players how to play legit, optimize time, and stockpile resources. That's why they flock to and parrot im_a_blisy. He tells them it's not a skill issue, it's the game that's unfair.

I don't have a PC, so I can't cheat even if I wanted to, so I'm a prime example of being behind every cheater. To get around this, I did the science stuff to get the item printer, and then I farmed and printed a shit ton of IV's. So whenever I want to try a new team or change a mons set up, I have the IV's and if I want good EV's, I just use bottle caps. It definetly takes more time for me, but it's so easy and they set it up to be easy so there is no excuse at all to hack mons and give them perfect stats and hidden stats that you would otherwise never find in the wild. I'm still in the top 10k in ranked battles without having a PC or jail breaking my switch. There is no excuse. Wolf can't even claim he's won a single event because he cheated to do so. We haven't had a real winner since the start of tournaments because everyone cheats. I love playing and I would definetly compete, but it needs to die so we stop having the same cheaters win and the same people at worlds every single year. Love the content, and I support you 100%. People against you are either so bad at the game that they have to cheat, or the just dead throat, their favorite player and cope. Also, if you're using time as an excuse to cheat, just use showdown to theory craft before you start building the team. Again, no excuse to cheat.

I honestly found it far FAR easier if the individual mentions Im_a_Blisey as a source, to just complete disregard everything they say.

The amount of "missing the point" in these discussions is unbelieveable, this is real time brain rot watching. - The "doesn't give an advantage" point is dumb, the first guy literally refuted himself, which is amazing. If they rephrased it to "the pokemon functionally work the same way as an edited one" they would have a point, but by their own arguments they would have to agree that it saves real-life time outside the battles themselves, which is valuable according to THEM. - Players CONSENTED to the rules, which doesn't allow those "functionally-identical edited mons", and this ALONE invalidates any other argument all the way up to analogy loop like "carving your own chess pieces" or whatever. Take it up to the TOs / devs, or follow the rules. - If accessibility is the problem, why aren't people complaining to the GAME DEVELOPER? Why didn't they complain throughout gens 4 and 5, which was insufferable to make teams especially considering that event-only stuff was allowed. But no, Eruption Heatran from a years-old event? No problem. A magmar that is ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE to obtain? No problem. Years later, Endeavor Raichu from a year-old event? No problem. Telepathy Dialga? Easy. B-but NOW accessibility is a problem? Give me a break.

Entitled brats be entitled.

You are becoming more based

I hate the chess piece argument. Because it is stupid. Most chess players do actually bring their chess sets. Buy expensive books. And take chess lessons. Not to mention if they do become titled they usually have a personal coach. You look at any E-sport there is a lot of money spent on equipment. Most Pro players have a mechanical keyboard, gaming mouse, not to mention their gaming rig. Easily a person getting into Valorant or LoL right now would be out at least $1000. (even if they already had the gear they still spent the money on it) And even if we want to give a different example. Getting into Smash Melee, You would need a gamecube And I will be generous and say that is $70. You would want a modified controller. So that would put you out at least $50 if you do the shell mods yourself. You would want a backup because we are talking 20 year old OEM controllers that are going out definitely if you are using them hard. So that is at least another $100. Then you would want the game. If we want to be generous and say a game without the case goes for $70. You are already out $240. (not to mention any controllers or potentially new game cubes as the old ones go out while you practice). And if we really want to get into the weeds. The Main events at a lot of e-sport events the fighting games. You are looking (generously) at $100 for a joy stick. (maybe they use an OEM PlayStation 5 controller still looking at $70 for that) You have the game system so if you are playing on a PS5 that is at least $300. (go back to my gaming rig price if not playing on a console) And you are still spending around $400. No e-sport is a free ticket. And the funny thing. If you actually look at professional sports. Most athletes provide their own cleats/ basketball shoes. Yes most of them are sponsored so they probably get them from their sponsor but you can make the same argument about any e Sport. So this argument is old and tired. Because the real thing most people are spending is time. Pokemon not to diminish anyone's time in the game. Doesn't take weeks to master like Super Smash Bros or even something like Tekken or Street Fighter. It definitely doesn't take as long as LoL or valorant. The only reason Pokemon has devolved into the mess it has. Is because people hack and the meta changes every week. If hacking wasn't as bad as it is you could get solid with one team and probably use it most of the time with maybe some variations. But because the pokemon community hacks. They keep pushing to goal post a bit further. To the point where some metas are figured out within weeks of a new game coming out. And you see the same 3 teams (sometimes 1 team) being played in every match. There is no more nuance in the competitive scene. And it makes it not fun to watch and even more boring to play. And that comes from someone that has been playing pokemon for over 22 years. Small edit: I know you cover some of this in the video it just makes me laugh the Imblissy comment about $510 for getting into competitive pokemon. Because that is a drop in the bucket compare to other esports

Sitting here with my popcorn waiting for every salty cheater in the comments to prove verlis right, yet again.

Niantic just made the game painful to look at. There were already negative preassures from play Pokemon Go, kinda sucks.

People have no excuse for hacking in Gen 9 tbh I was able to get a legal good battle team just under 3 hours in my Violet

Already followed all the steps here, I don't need to watch

Posting comment to check my comment history here

I’ve watched most of your videos on this topic - I wasn’t surprised to see hacking at the highest competitive level, and I think it’s good that you’re using your platform to expose it. That being said, I think you would get a lot further and be received a whole lot better if you didn’t attack the people who disagree with you in comments. You could speak on their opinion, but attacking intelligence and resorting to ad hominem responses just makes it that much harder for the community at large to appreciate the points you are making. Debate them, argue your points, point out the logical fallacies in their points - but the name calling only hurts your position. Just my two cents.

team building before gen 9: ‘it’s too time consuming, I need to hack because I have no time Gen 9: now we can seamlessly train competitive pokemons in no time and people are still hacking 😂 joke of a community

"I don't play competitive but" has the same weight and value to a conversation as a person in politics saying "I don't know anything about this subject but as a parent" Idk why but I cringe every time I see a comment that just says "I don't play", then why are you giving an opinion then if you're just going to look like an idiot by giving an opinion/argument that collapses in on itself within the first sentence.

Stand your ground, Verlis! Expose the cheating, shame the cheating, motivate folks to ppay and conpete properly and fairly.

Blisy’s video is ironic, him complaining how long it would take Wolfey’s team pretty much just proves how genning Pokémon gives you an advantage.

Or his luck is better than yours. It is proven for his Pikachu is legit. So are you saying thst Pokemon with Perfect IVs are hacked?

These cheaters and wolf fans have no idea what they're talking about. Firstly, it's not expensive. If you're a fan of the series (like they claim to be), you should easily have a copy of Sword or Shield and Scarlet or Violet and the respective DLC on your shelf. Secondly, it is not hard or time consuming to get competitive pokemon. By the time you beat the main story, you have 5 or 6 pokemon that are almost battle ready. Use the resources acquired throughout the story to fine tune your team. Another option is to beat a 5 or 6* raid, sell the nuggets, buy a mint, and use some vitamins. Boom easy. Done in 5 minutes. A third option is to breed your pokemon. Breeding has been a part of the games since gen 2 over 20 years ago and only gotten better each iteration. This is clearly an aspect of the game the developers want people to interact with. Breeding a pokemon from nothing to good IVs takes maybe 20-30 minutes. (Driving to the local card store to buy some TCG cards, coming home, and upgrading your deck accordingly takes longer.) Seriously, if playing the game is so outrageously terrible for these people that they find cheating mandatory, they should just admit that they're not truly a fan of the a series (or part of the target audience), leave the scene, and let the people that can actually respect the game and want to be here, be here.

It's kinda funny how the competitive Pokemon and chess scenes are developing into the exact opposite rn

Verlisify always right

10:20 ☝️cheaters listening 👌

“I want to be Michael Jordan. I will birth myself as Michael Jordan and train as Michael Jordan” Vs. “I want to be Michael Jordan. I will craft MYSELF and MY basketball skills to play like Michael Jordan”. Is it unfair you can’t just be born as Michael Jordan and have access to the skills he has before you’ve done ANY of the work??

Ofc only people who like you comment o this and will say you are right, and no, it is a stupid reason to buy a game or spend some hours to get one part of a team, no other game does that so it is not fun
