Cheater

[MudkipBoy]

Just wondering, does anyone else use action replay for pokemon black/White? I used it and liked it for a while... Or at least until the challenge was gone out of the game because of the high level pokemon I was importing, so it got boring. If you cheated on these games,what was your experience?

 

[Giraffe]

Cheating & Hacking = BIG NO FOR ME.

I can't stand it. I believe you should work for what you earn -- Sure, it's hard work breeding for IVs & training Pokemon, but it certainly is rewarding.

 

[lamby101]

Never cheated, never will. It's the type of game that if you cheat takes all of the fun out of it.

 

[Shiro]

I personally find it just a little irritating that some people actually have to work at something while others can just cheat the game with a few clicks of a button, but whatever. Their game, their money, their decision.

Anyway, from what I've heard from other people, Gamefreak has been taking precautions against stuff like this. There's apparently an AR block in BW and ~apparently~ some precautions were taken in the GBA games as well. Something like in if you use the AR too much in Emerald you get a Missingno glitch. I can't remember the exact details, but yeah. D:

 

[インフェルノの津波]

I hate it when Gamefreak does that, sometimes you have to cheat.

I only use the Master Balls cheat though, because I get tired of trying to catch something.

I do not actually use an Action Replay for most games; the exception is on Diamond, which I use to get Pokémon from the Mining Museum Code (It's an AR code that lets you get any Pokémon level 20 from the Mining Museum dude), and even that's just to get a Ditto or something to send over. Black and White is one of those games where I don't plan to send anything over until after the main story has ended, so I know that I've done everything in my power to win on that cartridge and not just slip another thing over to breeze through the game.

EDIT: Nui, the same thing happened to me. That's why I limit my AR usage to only one game, so I can put that useless one in harm's way and ship everything else out.

 

[nui876]

im never going to use action replay ever again. last time I used it was on my platinum and it screwed up my ds and my game!

 

[chaos11011]

In my opinion, if you are cheater, you are lower then everyone else. Even if you are the best at battling an win at everything, and you are a cheater, you are worse then the "noobs" really. Even if you hacked to make your Timburr's nature Adamant instead of Modest, you are still low.

Don't take it personaly though, because I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

 

[Eurydice]

i have never used an ar on my 5th gen games. i would like to find some codes like the cloning for when i start trading but thats about it

 

[Notworking15]

i have not, am not, and will not use cheats, even in a rut. like the above said, use cheats, and you might as well not be playing. it spoils the game for you and everyone else and puts people off, it should be that there aren't any cheats at all for it

 

[Zelda]

Meh, never really depended on Action Replay or other cheats to access or obtain something in the game for myself. I usually can get through with accepting the challenge the games have for me, like obtaining a shiny Zekrom or Reshiram. It isn't possible to get a shiny version of the two unless you cheat, and it's something I can wait on getting if there ever were to be an event for a shiny legendary.

Anyway, this discussion seems broad enough to discuss whether or not you cheat to receive things you are not able to at the time in every generation instead of just Black and White, so I'll go ahead and move this over to PGC. Just make sure not to distribute any cheat codes in this thread.

 

[Saryka]

I lost my Action Replay, which is just as well. I don't feel good cheating because I think it's so much more worth it finding things on your own, even if it can be tedious. Sometimes the adventure is part of the fun. I honestly might as well just not play if I'm gonna cheat through the game.

 

[jab2033]

The only cheat I tend to use is a Pokemon EV/data checking code in Platinum. Makes keeping track of my EVs so much easier than writing them down every time I KO something.

I don't plan on using cheats in BW, though.

 

[jcsimpson]

I've never cheated and I never will. I'd rather put in the hard work of trading, breeding and leveling up my Pokemon.

Wow, this is the first time I heard about this.

And this is why you have to be careful what you codes you get

In my opinion, if you are cheater, you are lower then everyone else. Even if you are the best at battling an win at everything, and you are a cheater, you are worse then the "noobs" really. Even if you hacked to make your Timburr's nature Adamant instead of Modest, you are still low.

I can probably understand your anger against hackers. I think this should explain it.

Type 1 Hacker (At least this is what I call it & my favorite type)

• This type of hacker has experianced the same many times, and only hacks just to bring a different kind of experiance. The hacker also protects anothers who can't hack from those who ARE hacking for the fun of it and to ruin others, in this case, few DS online games and the PsP online games.

Type 2 Hacker (My least favorite)

• This type of hacker who actually does hack for the fun, doesn't care about others, and also does ruin the games at times.

& I can actually understand this, I hate those who hack Pokemon's ability to make them "battle worthy".

i have never used an ar on my 5th gen games. i would like to find some codes like the cloning for when i start trading but thats about it

There isn't any cloning code for this atm (& There probably won't either).

i have not, am not, and will not use cheats, even in a rut. like the above said, use cheats, and you might as well not be playing. it spoils the game for you and everyone else and puts people off, it should be that there aren't any cheats at all for it

Ugh, it really all depends on the hacker, rather they want to spoil the game for others and spoil themselves, or neither.

I really wish people stop dis hackers, & really all depends on the hacker.

Why do some people find cheating in games so immoral? Anyone who cheats does it for fun, or find something too challenging for them that they need a little help. My name is Zet and I'm a cheatoholic, I use cheats purely for adding more fun in a game and if you don't like it, spheal with it.

If I were to buy an AR again, I would probably only use it for masterballs and rare candies in b/w.

 

[Sydian]

I don't find any fun in cheating, but if I have no other way of getting a Pokemon (such as Arceus, Darkrai, and friends as I had no Wifi and don't live near a Toys R Us) then I don't see a problem in hacking those Pokemon in, as long as you're not giving it crazy illegitimate movesets/abilities/etc.

 

[Heliotrope]

I've used an AR before on my Pearl version for Quick Egg hatching, EV/IV checking and money to buy vitamins with. I'm against cheating on my White version (since I absolutely don't want to risk anything) but the only time I ever did was to ease some of the redundancy of breeding.

But now I just ride back and forth on my bike... boring but, eh. It's safe.

No, not many of us do like it & we do deal with it.
Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

For me, I'd say the worst hack is a hacked Pokemon. D:

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Actually, I'll say I've hacked events in Platinum.

There was no way else I was going to get Darkrai and friends, you know?

I cheat because I need certain things, and I won't stop to cheat some legendaries, since they're so hard to get battle ready.
