This dude was selling Pokemans with modified move sets for up to $80 a pop and could now face up to 5 years in prison.

Is this not insane? Or do you think he could face a much less severe sentence and the 5 years prison and $30k just the upper limit for this particular set of crime?

People can spend their money on what they want. The issue here really isn't people paying for Pokémon hacks. It's that the Japanese courts are sending people to jail over selling them.

What do you think the deeper issue here actually is? Disrespecting Pokémon?
