>>54292608My knowledge on cryptography, distributed systems and by extension NFTs is a bit fuzzy but I'll try anyway. Theorictically blockchains are secured in the sense that there is several instances of the blockchain on differeent locations. To attack the data integrity you need to compromised, at the same exact time, at least more than half of the systems hosting an instance of the blockchain so it becomes the new "Truth" which is usually admitted as impratical as best and impossible at worst.
One more thing you cannot modify data in the blockchain, you can only add more.
The best use case for a blockchain I've seen so far is making registries.
We will consider that GF will be the sole validator for the blockchain as well as the owner of the different instances of the blockchain.
Now let's say each block contains the pokémons data and has an associated token. the data contained should be only data that cannot change in-game so we don't have to bloat the block chain with addendums, this excludes the Pokémon species for example, but includes the OT, whether it is a shiny or not , catch location and game.
If the validation is done when a Pokémon is caught, as OP suggested, then The player has to be always online with a stable connection and the caught Pokémon validated before it is added to you.
if it's done only when I connect online, then I can just play offline, inject or modify the pokémons I want before connecting online, making my hacked pokémons legit.
So let's disregard the latter and go wth the former (player always online)
You could add a third party application to interpret the blockchain and host the missing Pokémon data.
And congrats you just got a Pokémon Home , just a bit more expensive to run because you will have higher CPU usage everytime someone in the world catch a pokémon in any game. And you can only play online.
TLDR: OП Cyкa
