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?

I looked up and see that PKHek doesn't have Japanese lang supported. Plus Japan is mostly console, console gamer that is not very good at English + PC skill may need this service.

Not to mention if the guy doing this know the risks involved and charge high. Or people know the risks and don't do it leads to low supply/high demand.

It's possible there is an easily available Japanese software for this too. More often than not because of the language barrier the Anglosphere and non-Anglo countries don't interact freely for stuff like this.
