i have owned almost every version available of pokemon since gen 1. i worked hard for all the pokemon i caught and dedicated many hours into these games. i transfered all my pokemon from all 5 gen 3 versions (S,R,E,FR,LG) to my diamond version. after i beat pokemon white and got to the part where you could finally transfer pokemon to gen 5, i was estatic. i could keep the pokemon i had trained and put all my time into in the last 2 gens and bring them into the future (none of them were too good, but you get attached). i come to realize that i cannot find my diamond version. i looked everywhere in my house. no where to be found.
A year later i finally ask my brother if he had seen it. he asked me what it looked like. i showed him the white version cartridge and said it was like this only blue. he then told me that my dog (a puppy at the time) found it and destroyed it. he had forgotten to tell me.
All that time wasted, destroyed by an animal that didnt know any better (she gave me the puppy eyes and i forgave her right away)
i decided that i would recover all of my pokes by hacking the ones i liked the best into my white version. i even added shinies of my favorites and legends that were very difficult to get (i did it through some website that would send the pokes over gts). i never passed them off as legit. i never tried to trade them and i never battled with them. they were only there to replace the hard work i had put into my games before this. i have not transferred them to my version of pokemon Y (i dont think they even can be brought over) nor do i plan to.
i have told this before in other places and i got a lot of flack because people have such strong feelings against hacking (i dont blame them). what do you guys think? am i in the wrong for hacking? would you have done the same thing in my situation?
