Obviously Pokemon aren't going to triple in value or something like that, but it's still nice to have teh feeling that you have a collection that wasn't cheated to get. That's where I will leave my opinion on this matter.

Integrity? Me and you are 17 years old, and we are fighting about Pokemon, pretty, shiny Pokemon. How much integrity do you have now, eh? Now think of it this way:

You are a 27 year old guy, you have a nice apartment in a nice town outside of a nice city. And you get the chance of robbing a jewelry store, you wouldn't do that, of course. But putting in a series of numbers to make an electronic sprite sparkle? Thats bad? I have one hacked Pokemon in my game as far as I know, and that's the level 5 Mew I tested the GTS with, which just got released. I would much rather have a box full of shiny Pokemon and get away with it, then have a case of diamonds and get sent to prison.

I'm gonna jump in here and ask a question. All my shinies I recieved through trading and I have mad respect for all the shiny hunters who dedicate their time to actually finding shinies. My question is, these people with like 40 different shinies, do they actually go out and find them all because that is amazing considering the chances. No one will answer my question and I was just wondering because I always thought they were recieved through a cheating device with the chances. Im also not accusing anyone of cheating I just think these people are crazy lucky if they actually have found them all because I've spent tons of time chaining and soft reseting haven't found one yet.

Ok, obviously this isn't a case of getting sent to prison or something, but I just think that if you are an honest person in life that you shouldn't feel the need to cheat. I myself try not to cheat or cut corners and to do everything the right way, so that I don't end up feeling guilty about it later. I guess it makes me stupid if my conscience extends to something as trivial as Pokemon, but that's just me, I don't like to cheat.

I'm glad to see some purity left in the world, but dude, come on. Lighten up, you aren't cheating, I'm not cheating. I am just saying that for a person like me, if I had an Action Replay, using the shiny code is not a bad thing. I wouldn't be caught dead trading them. But just for the sake of having them. It's easier for the "good guys" us "bad guys" never get anything, so we make it artificially. Like shiny Pokemon. Take for example, art. I can't draw to save my life. But Photoshop helped me out there, look at my sig, I made that, aragorn made the Lucario though.

personally i find it a waste of time to find shinies, and then trade them.

BOYBOY August 12th, 2007 10:58 PM

true, i do that but not in like a pokemon battle with pokesav there is a site where you DL legit pokemon so thats were i get my legit pokemon.

I've harbored an intense hatred for the Action Replay ever since I first played Metroid Prime: Hunters on wi-fi. But that's beside the point.

If I can spend 2 years to gather 6 rather mediocre shinies, then I'm obviously going to be angry if someone decides "Hey, let's use an Action Replay to get 200 shinies in one night!"
