  • Pokémon Sun & Moon are now over 7 years old, and the current state of online play in these games has gotten pretty bad to say the least. In a previous video I checked out the GTS on Pokémon X & Y, and people told me that on Sun & Moon, it's EVEN WORSE...

    Its very unfortunate that a few misreable scums ruined the GTS. Fortunate there is ways to counter it, like friend trading but would be awesome if Nintendo did something about it atleast in the first place.

    @KevdogPlays That Japan Kebuju trainer is the one responsible for the game freezing because he flooded the GTS with his hacked pokemon requesting for yungoos and magikarp and other common baby pokemon and so when you pass him your game freezes. Also if you search for a pokemon that Japan Kebuju deposited in the gts your game may freeze instantly. He is the reason that everyone quit using the GTS on pokemon Sun and Moon games as well as Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon games. That is why pokemon sun and moon series is not very popular on average 6 players play on festival plaza now vs the 40 players from back then.

    • @giratina6665
      @giratina6665 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +57

      As far as I'm aware the game doesn't freeze because the Pokémon are hacked but because the trainer profile pictures overload the 3DS. Just having Pokémon with impossible combinations of traits (Lv.1 male Latias in a cherish ball with V-Create for example) isn't gonna freeze your 3DS because all of these traits are feasibly achieved on some mons individually. It's not like the game punishes you for some illegal Pokémon but your 3DS stops working correctly. Corrupted Pokémon shouldn't be able to be uploaded anyways. There's a community made fix on hacked consoles iirc

    The girl trainer in pink is also ChloeGarcia, and while it looks like they tried to do the same “fix” that others did before by flooding the GTS with tradeable hacked Pokémon, a lot of their hacked Pokémon are faulty too and cause the same freeze, which… just makes the issue worse actually 🙃

    The only reason I'd say the Gen 6 GTS is better is because you could technically use it, but the gen 7 GTS is a minefield not worth exploring.
    Regardless it just sucks. Hopefully when the servers shutdown, the people setting up unofficial servers will actually essentially create a new GTS and find a way to actually moderate it.

    I appreciate this video man, because I just got into Pokemon Sun and beat the Elite 4 got all the Tapu, and Ultra Beasts. But I still know there has to be more legendaries and Mythicals I guess to get or transfer to the game. I didn’t know about that other cool feature in the game where we could do Island scans I missed out on that back then because I didn’t have 2DS or 3DS handheld. I’m glad I got back into Pokemon it’s all thanks to Sword & Shield. And from watching some Pokemon play throughs.

    In gen 6 my game would crash on gts but i had an even worse situation about 2 weeks ago
    A wonder trade caused my game to crash in pokemon x i just reset like i would for gts and my heart sank when i read *the save file is corrupted* i didnt wanna lose this file. It had my living dex and my first shiny which was a protean froakie(i dont count the freebie gyarados haxorus dragonite or garchomp) i tried everything that was suggested to do using bank to move stuff and see if it read it right. Bank didnt recognize the save file anymore. I finally deleted it and it let me restart. I got all the way to dendemille in X and saved the game and it crashed when i saved. Restart and oh look save file is corrupted again
    So i delete data and new game again
    Get my starter and save
    It freezes during the save
    I play around with it go all the way through the game without saving at all and nothing happens it works perfectly fine
    I forgot about the save issue and tried connecting to pss
    Game freezes
    Save file is corrupted again

    Pretty sure somehow the glitched wonder trade bricked by ability to save specifically

      ​@@KevdogPlaysyou're more likely to get hackmons through wonder trade if you're doing it at a weird time of day for most of the world. You also have to spend a lot of time trading them out if you want to amass a large quantity of hackmon. Back when I was playing the 3ds pokemon games regularly, about a year ago, I'd average about three hackmon per box wondertraded, depending on the time of day, and how lucky I was.
      The most interesting hackmon I've recieved is a (well, two, actually) nameless cherish ball zigzagoon from X and Y. I believe the trainer is nameless too, but its been a while, so I'd have to go check.

    Besides these losers, there are also bots set up to give you any Pokémon you want. Don't use the global search, pointless endeavour, just put any kind of dweeb Pokémon online, ask for the Pokémon you want in return (no matter how ridiculously rare), and within 10 minutes or maybe a day you'll receive it, shiny as well. It's happened consistently for me, made me curious to look up the name of the user that kept sending me these, led me to a live stream where I literally saw my name pop up as this bot traded with me.
    Of course, these Pokémon will also not be legitimate, but it's an easy way to complete your Pokédex.

They could even then try and get rid of the hacked Pokémon through a bot or just delete them. I don’t know if this is possible, but if anyone wants a temporary fix, if you spam the home button while holding right, it won’t load any player profile pics and you can get passed Japan Kebuji, but this is very very inconsistent.
