Man in Japan arrested for selling hacked Pokémon in Sword and Shield
Don't hack the Sobble if you can't do the time.
Japan’s Unfair Competition Prevention Act is apparently a serious business. How serious? As relayed by Brian Ashcraft at Kotaku, it’s serious enough to warrant arrests. A report from Japanese publication Asahi News indicates that an unemployed 23-year-old Nagoya resident was arrested for allegedly selling a hacked Sobble from
Pokémon Sword and
Shield, and it is believed that he had been selling modded Pokémon for a year-long period concluding last November. He has reportedly confessed to selling the Sobble.
