With Pokésav, players can edit nearly every aspect of the game including Pokémon and their movesets, the inventory, and in-game records. Because of this, many people consider it to be a "hacking" program used to gain an unfair advantage in competitive play. Creating a Pokémon of any caliber may only take a few minutes with the use of Pokésav, whereas it may take hours and hours to legitimately breed and train the same Pokémon. This brings up questions as to whether the use of the program is ethical.

To combat the usage of programs like ''Pokésav'', Nintendo has banned the use of all Pokémon they determine to be "hacked" from online play. This includes such Pokémon with impossible movesets or abilities, such as a {{p|Spiritomb}} with {{a|Wonder Guard}} or a {{m|Recover}}ing {{p|Skarmory}}. However, sometimes Nintendo's servers cannot differentiate edited Pokémon from trained Pokémon, so these legitimate looking Pokémon are always let through.
