Sounds to me like you got a booty (bootleg). Have you tried playing it on your DS? If so, does the cart wipe the save?

There's really no way to be dream pals with someone from different worlds? If I reset my save the world I'm in will change?

I've asked this on the dream pal thread but I figure you guys don't go there to answer.

It always whipes the save. It must be a bootleg then.

Yup it's definatly a booty then.

Two questions:

First: I've been trying to breed Pokemon with egg moves. I can do a Pokemon with one egg move easily. But when I try to breed a Pokemon with multiple egg moves, like, for example, someone was recently wanting a Shellder that knew Twin Needle and Rock Blast. I could get one that knew rock blast and another one that knew twin needle, but not one that knew both. So my first question is: What do I do to get a Pokemon with multiple egg moves?

Now for the second question: I heard that you can get banned from tournaments for using hacked Pokemon. Does this include Pokemon cloned using Action Replay or something like that?

It doesn't seem like there's any way for users to change it, at all. The only way to get another world seems to be to make a new PGL account, as the world seems to be assigned randomly when you do. You would then have to reset your game to be able to connect it to the new PGL account.

It doesn't seem like there's any way to make friends with people in another world, likely the data is located on separate servers. You may be able to try asking support, but I don't even know if they'll know about the world scheme -- it's not displayed on the site anywhere nor is it presented to users. :/

Multiple egg moves usually require chain breeding. Some combinations are impossible though, so no Leaf Blade + Dragon Dance Tropius because no pokemon (in its egg group) learns both those moves to pass them on. I think the same will got for Twin Needle + Rock Blast on Shellder.

I can't say for certain since I've never been to a tournament, but it's better to be safe than be sorry. I do know that people who go to VGC do recieve cloned pokemon on Smogon, so I don't think you will get banned unless something is majorly wrong with the pokemon. It's something that you need to decide for yourself I would think.

So what would you call the pokemon on there? Legit, hacked or something else?

I have a small question, and if anyone could help, that'd be great!
I need a Tentacool with Rapid Spin, but I don't know how to get it. I've heard it's an egg move, but Egg moves confuse me to no end XD; I can't read the charts on Bulbapedia or Serebii or whatnot. Can someone please explain to me how I breed the Tentacool with this move?

You need to breed Rapid Spin onto Kabuto first.

So here's what you do:

Get a male Squirtle with Rapid Spin and a female Kabuto. Put them in the daycare and keep going until you hatch a male Kabuto with Rapid Spin.

Take the Male Kabuto with Rapid Spin and put it in the daycare with a female Tentacool. When you hatch an egg it should be a Tentacool with Rapid Spin.

Only male pokemon can pass on egg moves.

That's exactly what I needed to know, thanks so much!~

So if I reset I'll be able to change it then? I assumed it was connected to the PGL account, but I was afraid it got connected with my cartridge after registering on PGL and making it impossible to change.
If they were divided by region I guess it would've been a lot better.

And yes, that would be my guess that they don't know about the world scheme. Too bad tho, I guess I'll reset my save.

Thank you for your help.

It is connected with the PGL account -- you'd have to make a new PGL account for your new save to try and get a different world number.
Check what world you've been set to before typing in your Game Synch code though, as that's the point you lock your game save to your PGL account (and so, whatever world it's on).

Personally, I call them hacked, as more than likely, if you open up a booty, it's just a flash cart with the game loaded into it (for DS booties anyway). But ya, that's just my own opinion.
