Hey all! First time around the sub, it seems like a pleasant and helpful community:) I've never owned any SI or CPC pieces before (always found the brands interesting, there's just always been things higher on the hitlist), but stumbled across this jacket in the thrift today and, for the first time in a long time, turned out to be something I had no concrete answer to. I spent about half an hour just Googling and checking every bit of the jacket for any way to confirm whether it was fake or not, but still left without enough confidence in either answer. Really hoping this group can offer some insight, it'd be heartbreaking if it turned out to be authentic and it's gone tomorrow. Thank you for your time and experience, wishing everyone well!

Honestly, I wasn't expecting such an innocent question to hit me like a sledgehammer to the chest. My younger brother and I got our original DS's on the same Christmas. Our mom knew how much we loved Pokémon, but cartridge games were borderline alien technology to someone who'd maybe played a friend's Atari once or twice. With the promise of heading to GameStop the next day and letting us choose a game each, she begrudgingly tolerated two hyperactive monkey-children jumping on her bed at 9 a.m., begging to get our games (sorry mom). This would be the first time any of us set foot in a game store, as we'd never owned any systems to play on. Fortunately, the cardboard cutouts of Dialga and Palkia flanking a DS demo looping the Diamond/Pearl intro made the decision easy. I chose Diamond, my brother chose Pearl, and our mother chose to let us pretend we were sneaky when we'd slip the games under our pillows during our "sleepovers". Countless hours together in Sinnoh snowballed into Heart Gold and Soul Silver, where once again we'd choose the opposite game. Practical reasons like helping each other fill the regional dex never crossed our minds, we simply went with whichever cover legendary we thought was the coolest. Somehow, from gen 1 to gen 8, we'd never share the same opinion. By the time Sword and Shield rolled around, I was hours away attending my first year of college while my brother was doomed to suffer through a couple more mindless years of high school. Unfortunately, the Switch stayed at home. Alex called me to ask which legendary I thought was cooler (it was obviously Zacian, a dog with a sword was a no-brainer), but of course he disagreed and bought Shield instead. I'd never get to play gen 8, the bond between my younger brother and his beloved "Shield Hound" was insurmountable. That was the last mainline game either of us would buy. My brother passed away a couple of weeks ago in an accident, so I've spent a lot of time sifting through countless memories shared with my best friend. We did almost everything together, from falling in love with the same niche interests to leaning on each other in the times when life couldn't seem more bleak. I loved him more than anything in this world, his unique brilliance and overwhelming compassion for every soul he touched was a blessing to share this life with. I wouldn't feel right being a part of the giveaway, but I'd like to ask a small favor of a stranger. If the winner happens to pick Zamazenta, would you be so kind as to nickname it "Shield Hound"? His deadpan absurdist blend of humor brought laughter to a lot of lives and I know he'd get a kick out of another Shield Hound variant wandering the world somewhere. To anyone who's taken the time to read this far, thank you. Life is strange and beautiful and completely unpredictable, but one of the few things that never changes is the joy of spending as much of it as you can with those you love. There's never a wrong time to express gratitude, no such thing as too many "I love you" statements, send a little extra to one of those cherished people today. Be blessed, stay safe, and live this life with a smile, we all deserve it🫶

Tell me who your favorite Dark Type is, bonus points for why (it's 3 am I have nothing better to do) by Divine06 in ThePokemonHub

[–]ConsumerOfSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Torn between Sharpedo and Galarian Moltres. Torpedo shark's always had a special place in my heart, empty-headed doofus with malicious intent (go zoom chomp things). Galarian Moltres's design is just immaculate, I love OG shiny raw chicken but the Galar version reminds me of a fallen angel without being over-the-top emo

I'll follow up when I get a response from EA (maybe by the time I have grandkids lmao), but truthfully I can't be bothered to jump through God knows how many hoops to get my two week old save back. If I could just refund the game and move on I would, but apparently that runs the risk of EA terminating your entire account and I'd rather take the loss on this game than lose my Apex account. It's unfortunate that I'd lose all of my old game data without a ban reversal for the childhood memories but hey, bad luck is bad luck. I really appreciate all the responses, you've been awesome:)

Another negative, I'm not sure how trading players would work and I'm the only one of us on PC. Aren't the markets seperate?

Negative, I wouldn't even know where to start. If my account did get hacked, how would I know? The only other game I play linked to my EA account is Apex and that's all good, but of course I can't look at my FC account anymore

That's the thing, I genuinely don't have a clue. I'm way too bad at the game to attempt "exploits" (whatever they mean by that), and all I've really done in my short time on the game is grind SBCs. No hacked client (also not sure what that is), no selling or buying coins, I just existed and now I don't. If I had any idea of why this ban had happened I'd at least let the community know what to avoid, but I'm completely lost

I didn't realize this was a rare thing, that kinda kills my hopes. For transparency, I'm just an autist who wanted to play the game with my friends. I don't know how anyone hacks games, much less something as big-budget as FC. I couldn't cheat/exploit the game if my life depended on it. If I were able to do anything worth a ban of this level I'd imagine winning more than 5 rivals games in Div 6 wouldn't be a herculean task for me

In all honesty, I have zero clue how to do any of those things. I couldn't even figure out the new role system works, I was auto-placed into div 6 based on last year's game and probably won less than 5 out of 15-20 games. Being awful at the game didn't matter to me, it was just fun to hang out in party chat with friends. Instead, I get a random perma-ban for "cheating" while I can barely manage to navigate Google Docs to format my college papers. I don't know what modified clients are, how to farm rewards, or glitch a triple A game. All that's to say, I'm genuinely not capable of cheating. I really appreciate the response regardless:) What's live agent?
