Thread: Your Opinion On "Cheaters"

I, myself am what some people would call a "cheater", i use an action replay. Judge me!

But what i'm wondering is, what does the community think of us "cheaters"? I personally only use codes for finding pokémon that are just to complicated to catch. And i never use any codes for shiny pokémon or to affect the game so i have a large advantage.

So what are your opinons. Are you a "cheater" as well and if so, how and why do you "cheat"?

I use AR/ Action Replay! So I can catch the legendary event pokemon. Also, Meloetta, Genesect, and Keldeo.

In my opinion, playing through the game and collecting Pokemon without an AR is preferable, but it's your game. You can do what you want with it. Personally I dont cheat to get Pokemon or get through the game, to me cheating takes all the fun and enjoyment out of the game and defeats the entire purpose of it.

I only cheats at the very start of the game so i can have more interesting pokemon to use throughout the game. And post game to give me something to do. I never use them during the main story line

It depends on what you use it for.

I keep it to money and alternative payment methods. Never Pokémon, or unavailable items.

I only use an action replay for getting events I miss, decreasing the number of steps to hatch an egg, and to change the season occasionally because i simply dont have that much time on my hands. Unless you are doing the 999x rare candies, all items, full pokédex, etc, i see nothing wrong with it

I always play through once without cheats. But then when I play through again, I'll use cheats.

I think they're lame and shouldn't be allowed to play Pokémon.

If it's available for you to use, take advantage of it. This is franchise is very competitive-heavy, so take advantage of what ever tools are available to you. Me, I play "organically", no cheats for me.

Your game your choice, as long as it has nothing to do with me that will mess up my game then I don't care.

I only use money cheats when i need em. The rest of the time I do it normal style. Sometimes I switch over my pokemon to another game and use cheats like "catch trainer Pokemon" when I'm bored. And then, I'll corrupt my own save file so I don't get tempted to trade the trainer Pokemon to my other games.

I only use hacked Pokemon on the Battle Subway and the like, and even then it's just because of how hilarious an obvious hack like shiny Sturdy Shedinja in a Cherish Ball is. The easy BP doesn't hurt either

Personally I don't like cheating and would never do it. I don't really mind people who cheat a little as long as their cheating doesn't affect me. I despise people who get 900 of every item and level 100 Pokémon from the start of the game though. Just, Ugh.

Doing it for your own lolz and your own leisure is your choice, but I would prefer if they are kept to yourself.

I used an action replay for the sole purpose of cloning. I had a trade shop awhile back and made it public knowledge, and whenever someone traded me a shiny I would clone it so I could keep a copy of it for myself. Same went for event mons and legends, and anything else I wanted to keep. I don't think it's a big deal really, unless you're hacking shinies and trading them to people without their knowledge.

I also cloned items so I could have enough Lucky Eggs for all my mons, but that's basically the same thing.
