::::In other places where cheating is mentioned (check out [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Cheating&namespace=0 the links]), it's mostly to expound on something that's '''already in''' the games. For instance, items (like the GS Ball) or the behavior of the [[Johto Safari Zone]] if you don't enter legitimately. This Gen I/II->III transfer process, however, is fabricated out of whole cloth. Hell, it basically comes down to using a save editor; and a save editor can do a LOT (for instance, it could certainly inject an "event Pokemon"), but that doesn't make it notable or even necessarily Trivia-notable. | ::::In other places where cheating is mentioned (check out [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Cheating&namespace=0 the links]), it's mostly to expound on something that's '''already in''' the games.

::::I'm not unsympathetic that someone might like to know about a Gen I/II->III hack, but I have to doubt whether we really need to be concerned about that. (I definitely don't think we need be so concerned as to mention a hack right in the middle of conveying "legitimate" information, though.)

:::::I saw someone who made an unofficial link-cable-enabled device and completed the trade, this is notable... right? It's not really a hack and it's possible for a normal person to make it, given they have the right expertise. | |||
