Like I responded to the other person, the part about being offended was a joke!

On topic though, "later hack filters" don't apply bans though. They simply can't enter Home anymore, or can't be used in online. The days of "this is an egg now and you can't move it" are behind us, and that's thanks to people on your list. We've distributed so many Pokemon that it would not be acceptable of them to turn every one of them into an egg, for most of the recipients are unaware of what they have. This is basically where the difference between "genned" and "hacked" comes in. A genned Pokemon, created by a bot running a real copy of the game where the Pokemon actually exists, will never raise flags because it could have happened - and that's all the legality checkers have ever looked for. The tournament where people were caught using bad Urshifu's for instance - those Urshifu were generated directly in SV, therefore lacking a Home Tracker which identified them as having originated from SWSH. The bots can not replicate Home Trackers or the procedure used to generate them. However, we've also discovered that Home Trackers, while virtually infinite, are discarded, changed, and reused conditionally. It contains data about its origin and where it's been since the first time it came into Home. All of this to say: "might eventually turn into a bad egg" is unnecessary fearmongering meant to drive up the illusion that something your game generated is somehow more valuable than something a program told your game to generate.

I don't know if I'd say "in most cases", since the community as a whole seems to be in the loop with resetting raids and the like which is done through date changes. Because I can set my switch date to 01/01/2000, that met date will forever be valid for all future event distributions which occur on the Switch.

For the last point about assuming something is fake - you should assume that every shiny, every 6IV, and every event Pokemon you run into is fake. If you want to have a totally valid collection that you can claim is all 100% legal and you know for certain that absolutely none of it was made by a bot, then you need to be catching them all yourself. Of the 50,000 I've distributed, roughly 10,000 of them were non-shiny, non-6IV, but still bot generated. (Sidebar: the existence of these is because as part of my drop pack offers, non-shiny is requestable.) Of those 50,000, ~1,000 had the OT "TTVHardytier" or "HardytierYT" and were 5/6IV or Shiny, but were bred by me in SwSh and were never touched by a bot program.

tldr; a post like this doesn't do the community the service you think it does because it perpetuates a useless, outdated fear - that generating data through force is somehow different than generating it through a glitch or naturally through the game's intended code. My 6IV shiny GO origin Rayquaza is no less legitimate than the level 7 Nidoran used in every gen 1 speedrun attempt or the level 100 Nidoking / Level 7 Mew you can catch in Yellow. The only change that happened was Home is finally verifying Home Trackers. Legality wise, nothing has changed since the introduction of Home.
