The Hacking Era

The Hacking era was a time in Pokemon tower defence history where the game was in a vulnerable state.

This then started the hacking era at about April 2011 and was at its height in May 2011 when Sam wrote"Now making a game as popular as PTD is going to get attention from a lot of people. Some of those people enjoy exploiting and hacking game. This is going to happen when the game is played offline and all the information is easy to edit. So instead of fighting them I've talked to them, and here is the resolution. If anybody wants to play the game with pokemon that are easier to catch (hit them once and they will turn red), x3 exp given per kill, x5 money given per kill they can, why not? " a mistake he would soon regret.This caused a spree of hacking.

A few months later in early July Sam had had enough of hackers and decided to put a stop to it so he put up an advanced security system, this historic event is known as SAM'S NEW SECURITY this ended the hacking era. Though hacked pokemon tower defence still exitsts, any pokemon used there is branded 'hacked' and consitered useless for trades.

Many pokemon from the hacking era still exist. They are very valuable.

I hope this helps you with PTD history.
