      you can be sent to jail for using save editors and mods for personal use though. japanese law is extremely strict with that stuff, their consumer protection is literally nonexistent and unlike america they actually enforce that shit.

                Use your tiny Black personmonkey brain for three fricking seconds and consider what that means.
                “Wrongful acquisition and use of data” means modifying save DATA and ACQUIRING things the game does not give you normally
                If you cannot comprehend this even after it has been broken down for you to the point where a child could understand, you are proof that eugenics are necessary and you definitely should have been aborted because you are too moronic to live

                He's right, the Japanese are extremely backwards when it comes to anti-consumer attitudes. Remember, Pokemon company wanted to fire a couple of their long-term and well-known employees because they SUGGESTED a challenge run, responding that challenge runs are "on the same level as using a hacked game." So if they could get away with it, they would make it literally illegal just to play games wrong, e.g. challenge runs and speedruns.
