I'm not even surprised. GF slacks off hard when it comes to fighting against hacks (see: Pokebank and the way it checks hacks, previous games).
If they bothered to neutralize hacking, we wouldn't see such pitiful attempts.
And?
Just bc they're not there, doesn't mean its smart to slack off on hacking.

Lol, there is no excuse for this, but why would anyone risk a permanent ban to play online with a hacked system?

You have to go Online to claim your Mew from the Pokeball accessory so they thought that through.
GF has made it pretty clear that they don't give a fuck about the online component to this game.
Yes. The video in OP is how you trade with other players. If you select three Pikachu it matches with a random trainer.
Not impossible for a starter to be inside a beast ball if it were bred and inherited its parent's poekball.
Pretty sure that only works for Pokémon of the same species: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_breeding#Inheriting_Pok.C3.A9_Balls
Also you can't "catch" a Rowlet like you can with several of the other starters.
Well, that actually confirms what I said. The bred Pokemon will always inherit its mother's pokeball, unless the breeding occured between members of the same species, in which case there's a 50/50 chance of it inheriting either ball.
So it's possible that you received a Rowlet whose mother was caught with a Beast Ball. Breeding the right kind of pokeball isn't uncommon in the community, since each ball has its own special effect in battle.
Yeah, that's what came to my mind first. What will happen to poor soul that was happy to receive free Mev.
Another reason to be glad i'm living in Canada.
So you don't understand how breeding in Pokémon works.
There is no legitimate way to get a Rowlet in a Beast Ball through breeding.
But can't you catch all Pokemon in this game? If not, you can juste trade some version exclusives from Pokemon GO.
I received a clearly hacked shiny Mimikyu in Moon through GTS. I never caught a ban for it. I don't think they'll give you a ban just for having a hacked pokemon.
I understand that any of the Pokemon on this list can breed with Rowlet and be a female caught with a Beast Ball that will pass on the pokeball to the offspring.
Unless the Beast Ball has a specific restriction and isn't passed down, which is something I'm not aware of.

Nah, not many hackers are going to be dumb enough to get their console permanently banned after paying for online
Species is inherited from the mother. If you breed a female Pokemon not from the Rowlet line with a male Rowlet, the baby won't be Rowlet.
Thus, Rowlet can only inherit its ball from other Rowlet/Dartrix/Decidueye. Since none of those can be caught in the wild as of now, the only ball Rowlet can legitimately be in is a normal Poke Ball.

what if the Rowlet is female? starters can still be female iirc. are poke ball inheritances restricted even in that case?
How is this a good defense? You don't have to want it to be competitive to want legit Pokémon.
Even if it was female, the SuMo/USUM female starters only come in Pokéballs.
yeah but wouldn't it be possible to breed a male poke caught with a beast ball with a female Rowlet and get the offspring Rowlet with the beast ball?
No, because if they're different species, ball inheritance defaults to the female.
Game Freak.....WHYYYYYYYYY.
Well that kills me wanting to do random trades and/or battles because I dont want my console banned for using a hacked pokemon or something.

Nintendo has never banned anyone for getting a hacked pokemon, they just don't let it transfer to pokemon bank and other gen games.
On that note, does anyone know if this game is going to be compatible with pokemon bank?
