>change own wifi name to McDonalds Free WiFi
>still get Hoopa
how exactly does this work? I mean, it works, but "how"? Does this mean we can stop going to Nintendo zones and Gamestop events now?
if (SSID.equals("McDonalds Free Wi-Fi")){
giveHoopa();
}
else{
fuckYou();
}

There's nothing to be ashamed of.
>>24766279
what game is this from
>>24766266
Apparently it has to do more with the 3DS and some Nintendo online sorcery junk than the actual internet connection itself. All it needs is you renaming the Wifi title to "Mc Donald's Free Wifi" and changing a few things in the routers settings. That's all it takes for the Nintendo distribution process to mistakenly recognize you as a MCdonalds and allow you to retrieve Hoopa off Mystery Gift using said Wifi connection.
The only downside is that it will be likely be considered hacked or illegitimate because some of the internal data won't completely match a legit Hoopa retrieved from Mcdonalds. It will be probably black listed from GTS, Pokebank, and some other online features. This will probably apply to other events if you can get it to work this way too. So unless you are okay with the event pokemon being kept out anything that requires it to pass through checks on being legit in order to be allowed through, than this not a recommended method.
>>24766388
how come you think it'll be flagged as hacked
it's coming straight from the real nintendo servers isn't it
>>24766388
>It will be probably black listed from GTS, Pokebank, and some other online features.
nope. I don't even really know why you think that would be the case.
>>24766266
I assume this doesn't work for a UK 3DS and only works on USA versions right?
>>24766388
I bet you thought cloned Pokemon would be flagged as hacked in Pokebank too, didn't you?
its done this way because it is simple better to do it this way than to send out distro carts like in the days of gen 4/5 to ever single gamestop/ toysrus/what other place is doing an event.
Hoopaning!
Anyone tried if this works with mobile networks?
Would be easier to use your android phone than router.
>>24766388
I don't know why you think it'll be hacked. All that's happening is the mystery gift server checking to see if you're connected to a network named "McDonalds Free WiFi" before sending the hoopa.
Going to mcdonald's or not won't change anything.
>>24766266
is this true? I'm lazy t o change the router's name but know how to do it.
>>24766266
get that pokemon killing shit out of here. We're already a dead board as it is
>>24766568
Yes. It works this way too, and it's even easier than changing the router's SSID
>>24766388
You literally have no idea what you're talking about. Go back to /wfg/ with your bullshit.
>>24766388

>be injector/wifi pw changer
>hear about actual banning a taking place
>Fugg. I accidentally fucked up some injections and whatnot (wrong moves, other lazy shit)
>check pgl, injected comp teams, wifi trading
>all clear not banned in any way from anything
People like you are the worst. Stop trying to fear monger over a kids game. Nothing is getting banned from shit. Nintendo does not care about this like you seem to think they do
>implying Nintendo cares to be the cheat police on every single one of their children's games lmao
>>24766276
That just about makes sense.
>use phone as as a wifi tether
>mfw it fucking works
I NEVER HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE AGAIN!

What episode is this from?

How do you do this from an iShit phone? Doesn't seem to be able to change anything.

Teach me?
>>24767102
I tired taht shit but my fucking 3ds cannot connect to the internet, yet it detects the hotspot. This only Works because they method is via internet, not local wireless. get off your horse.
>live in Sweden
>get keked out of Hoopa altogether
I won't let them get away with this! This will have severe repercussions for Game Freak!
>>24767163
I'm not sure if you can. When setting up the wifi hotspot, you have to make sure it's a completely open connection with no security.
Afaik, iphone won't let you do a completely open connection and requires that you use a password.
>>24767296
Just open whatever wifi hotspot app or service you have on your phone.
Make sure the SSID is exactly "McDonalds Free WiFi"
Also make sure you set the security to None, so that you don't need a password to connect.
After that, set up the 3ds connection like normal. Make sure that there are no other nearby connections your 3ds will pick up.
>>24767322
>>live in Sweden
Move to England.
>>24766388
topkek
Just because you went to McDonalds without knowing about this doesn't mean you can spout misinformation to try to scare people that got it from home. Get fucked.

>GTS
Event mons that are in the Cherish Balls can't be traded via GTS anyway.
>>24766279
Disgusting pedophile. Bet you're white.
>>24766266
Or you could just leave your house and go sit in the McDonalds parking lot and kill yourself fucking faggot
>>24767322
DIE HAMMERS
>>24766266
It's a regular internet distribution. Just it checks SSID before it distributes it. It's actually a really smart way to do things too. For every one of us who does this there's dozens who don't know how to change their SSID and will go to mcdonalds.
Think about it this way. If you were going to roll this event out as a nintendo rep talking to mcondalds reps, would you
>require mcdonalds managers to set up something locally to distribute Hoopa, hardware or software configuration
>just do a global distribution that checks SSID so it takes effect in every mcdonalds instantly without effort on anyone else's part
What they're doing now is logistically easier by far.
i live within a one minute walking distance from a McCancers and cant be fucked to go get hoopa. dont know why just have no drive.
Is there any recommended software for PC to do this? I tried virtual router, but it forces me to put a password, I also tried the connectify trial, but it doesn't allow me to fully change the ssid. I could try my phone, but tethering is taking into account in the bill.
>>24768409
There are people out there, myself included who actually don't live close to a McDonalds. Nearest one to where I live is nearly two hours away.

Åk tillbaka till ISIS
My McDicks doesn't have McDonalds in the wifi name!
Not that I give a shit becauseI don't have a 3DS
i just got hoopa, does it do anything or do i just stash it and move on?
There's a MacDonalds across the street from where I work. no idea why I didn't bother to pick any up until now
>>24768701
Tethering isn't that expensive, besides, you'll use it for 5 minutes max.
Alright anons
Help me with this. Step by step if possible. How do I get my jewelry genie?
>>24770316
Go into your router settings or setup another wifi hotspot.
Make sure the SSID (the name of the connection) is exactly "McDonalds Free WiFi"
(without the "")
Make sure that security is set to none (NOT WPA2, WEP or whatever)
Link to that wifi using the 3DS and mystery gift from the game.
>>24766279
>fat ass
>fat
I don't think you understand what that word means
>>24770341
Holy fucking shit thank you kindly anon
I hope everybody restored their WiFi passwords afterwards.
>>24770430
she thinks it's pretty big
Wait, so can we use this to get Japanese or other foreign exclusive events?
Just gotta change our Wi-fi to the moonrunes that's used over there?
>>24769413
you get a bottle that changes its forme if you take it to a pokémart in ORAS I think other than that no it does nothing
I injected a WC.
If everything matches, it's still technically legitimate, right?Right? ;-;
>>24770799
I think it checks your 3DS/Game
>>24766266
>how exactly does this work
* When 3DS tries connecting to the internet, certain "Nintendo Zone" SSIDs are automatically recognized even without changing your settings
* Pokemon games detect if you're connected to one of them, then reports that SSID to the server to ask whether any events are available for it.
* Animal Crossing does the same thing
* Some other games (like Streetpass Mii Plaza) also report the MAC address
>Does this mean we can stop going to Nintendo zones and Gamestop events now?
I believe this is the first American Nintendo Zone Pokémon event. This same method will work in any future ones.
You can't (easily) spoof GameStop or other distributions that aren't Wi-Fi based.
>>24769391
Same. Every McDonald's I've ever visited in my city uses WayPort_Access and attwifi, so I can't even get Hoopa without this trick.
>>24770799
Mystery Gift is region-locked. You can't get Japanese events with an American game, even if you choose Japanese language and go to Japan.
Um, does this work in australia too, or just america?
>>24770799
you would need a japanese 3ds I'm pretty sure
How do I get Hoopa's not-shit form?
>>24772693
Try it.
It's still an English region 3DS, I think?
