That's really how it's meant to be played. A lot of people have a hard time grasping that unfortunately and stop playing all together.

I don't really have any other option, to be honest. I barely have time for video games as it is. Pick up and play is awesome for me!
Haha, welcome to my life. I barely have time for games now. Shuffle fits perfectly for my moments to spare, or to motivate me do do something.

Anyone think that these hacks are showing some future things to come. Like I noticed one of the hacked Pokemon sitting number 1 in the leader-boards for me is primal Kyogre and hes not even in the mega slot so i assume hes either a separate Pokemon form Kyogre, or we might be getting a second primal bar in addition to the mega bar??? (fingers crossed). Or maybe Im just getting my hopes up it is a hack -_-
Primal kyoger & groudon is special, they are not mega

Looks like North America needs to be cleaned up again. Wonder what the ultimate solution to the absurdity will look like.
Is your version up to date (V.1.1.5)? Have you tried redownloading the data updates?
Last Friday, on the day of the big update, there was also a small update that removed the FB settings, so you couldn't login or logout but you could still send and receive hearts if you were logged in prior to the update. They were probably trying to stall for time while they figured out how to block the infinite hearts trick, however, they restored the FB settings a few hours later with another update.
It's possible you have an older version that doesn't have the latest fix.
For reference, I just did my Mega Charizard Y run with all 3 items purchased.
3DS NA Region
Score: 55,710
Rank: 410 / 94,524
So there are less than ~400 cheaters at most at this point.
I just checked & wit my score of 46,149, I'm ranked 2269, but once again, I see damn cheaters with Ditto & other Pokemon unobtainable at the moment. I think I should be fine if I want to stay above 3500, but might do a last minute run to see if I can get a better score.
No idea but 4 events are ending so probs a decent amount. Escalation, event and daily pokemon are my guess.

It seems like they're in a cat-and-mouse game with regard to cheaters. Perhaps they should start considering adding some controls so that impossible Pokémon or scores are immediately rejected.
10 more hours or so before the Charizardite Y competition ends and the cut off for getting the stone is ~6,5k on mobile and ~22k on 3DS.
It's a bit surprising how few people have entered the competition; about 700'000 on mobile and 60'000 on the european 3DS board, which means about 400'000* thousand for all 3DS regions. Since Diancie was given out to commemorate 5 million downloads, that means than only about 1 in 5 people are participating in the competition, which seems really low since the special stages unlock very quickly after starting the game...
Getting the stone on mobile is way easier; 1 out 3 participants will get it while on 3DS only 1 out of 5 will receive it. On the other hand, 3DS owners can also get a Mega Speedup if they place at the very top while mobile users, similar to the early 3DS competitions, can't.
I placed on the 30'000th spot with an itemless score of 14k and feel pretty safe since the cutoff is 250'000 people. Will still check in the last hour in the unlikely case I fall outside the first 250'000 and do a quick item run.
*Estimate based on the number of prizes given out in each region.

I don't get why Ditto even has data in the game yet? Why not make him like 10AP with power of 5 or something until it comes out?
Fell out of the top 2.5k for mega speedup. Gonna have to give it yet another try, already done 3 full item runs
. Have a score of 43704 @ 2,748 in EU. I hate that they've changed the speedup to top 2.5k now.
Edit: score of 46,578 @ 1874. Should be safe once they remove all the cheaters too. Thought I was going to mess it up since I had a really bad start but a decent combo at the end saved me.

Got a pretty good Meowth run: 6800, or 6000 after Moves+5 use.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll make the 3500 cut-off (NA). Down to 3200 already and tried another run but couldn't beat my high score.

They are actually doing a one-week cleanup. Distribution for the mega Charizard Y is supposed to happen on October 5th.
It was changed during the competition.
That's only on mobile
I sure hope so. I think that's why I've been around the 1700 range, as it seems I'd go down, but then back up again after hackers were removed.
If I get below 3000, I might do one or two more runs to see if I can beat my score & have a bigger safety net.
Anyone wants to take a guess what events start tomorrow? Everything ends today (Regice, Mew, Diancie, Zard competition) so some new events would be logical. I'm afraid a new escalation battle and/or Safari will arrive as they are easy heart wasters. Palkia has to come soon too.
I've gotten lucky on him a few times and dropped him to ~1/4. I'd level up your ghosts/get mega gengar if possible and try a few more item-less runs before going at it again. I ultimately used the +5 move and beat him, will definitely need to use a lot of items to S-rank it though but still leveling guys so meh.

Should be safe for the candy. And finally caught/S-Ranked Sliggoo, so I'm good there.
Boo urns. I don't want to have to level them up again when I have Groundon a nearly max level already.
They are functionally identical to mega anyhow so I'm not sure why Shuffle would treat them as entirely different pokemon :/
The hackers sure are persistent; top 5 is alll 9'999'999 again.

Hope some of the scores are hacked. I got a slightly higher score but it's still outside the top 3500.

I played it really close because I didn't want to spend more coins on it so I hope hackers didn't push me out of the top 11k in the last few seconds. Fingers crossed for new main stages + mega (Gardevoir?)

Oh, snap. I got distracted doing something else and totally forgot to come back and try to catch Regice. First Pokemon I've missed.

I'm fine with this. Gives me time to train Charizard (got the Mega stone aw yis) and my Dragon and Ice pokémon. Also I missed Keldeo the first time around.
