is this HACKING
 
yeah i got a AR and i got it for two reasons TM's and rare Candies would people consider that hacking because i am not giving the pokemon max iv's or something just for movesets and to lvl up so i dont waste EV's

wat u guys think?????

Darkrai Lv X June 26th, 2008 3:46 PM

Yes,I would consider that hacking.The game is only meant to have so many rare candies in it.

Captain Fabio June 26th, 2008 3:47 PM

Yes. Mainly because it craps on hard working trainers like me who actually train up to Lv. 100 and earn the TM's.

the_gurpster June 26th, 2008 3:48 PM

well yeah i know that but i already used up my tm's for my team and i was thinking that why not get 95 of them but well i guess i cant use them :(

Captain Fabio June 26th, 2008 3:50 PM

We aren't telling you that you can't use them. At the end of the day, we can't prove you will use them or you have used Rare candies to level up your pokemon. Its up to you. It is easier yes.

But the reason i do it is to get satisfaction of sticking with it and getting my pokemon up to level 100.

FalseDestiny June 26th, 2008 3:51 PM

Indeed. Do as you wish, your pokemon will suck because of lack of Effort Points anyway.

the_gurpster June 26th, 2008 3:52 PM

well i am hard-working trainer but i just thought this would be kinda eaiser for me to train and not spend three days to get a tm on here

Postman June 26th, 2008 3:54 PM

Its hacking, but its not the hacking you should be worrying about...
Using rare candies to level up, getting TMs to complete movesets, not a big deal...

Using AR to change IVs to 31, Using AR to give 252 EVs to all stats, big deal..



I use AR to check IVs and to get items. It doesnt alter their stats or legitimacy so its no diffrent from a pokemon that you IV battled to check and used a item you picked up.

Or no. You can just EV them up, then Rary Candy them to 100.

And no, I don't consider that as hacking. As long as you don't modify the Pokémon itself.

Captain Fabio June 26th, 2008 3:54 PM

We aren't grilling you, but you won't have as much respect for doing it :/
But if you don't care about that, do what the hell you want. Lol.
I have a Action Reply. However, i never use it because its in my room somewhere and, like i said before, i want to rase them on my own.

the_gurpster June 26th, 2008 4:04 PM

well thanks alot guys and/or gals i do like training them its just i am really lazy guy :) well thanks for ur comments

_Prince_ June 26th, 2008 4:05 PM

Not hacking at all, meh ... getting tm's... that's nothing.

Hacking pokemon with 999 stats and illegal movesets etc ... that's not right.
Clean hacking is fine IMO, although most people do mind.

I agree with Garra_of-the-desert, because even though getting a Pokemon to lv 100 is hard it just makes you feel a whole lot better then if you use X amount of rare candies to get a pokemon to lv 100 because if you do that you might say something like "hehehe i got X amount of level 100's and I have only been playing for 2 hours and I own everything" and to avoid being pompous I just train my Pokemon like all the other honest players.

(and yes i do have a lv 100 in Pokemon XD)

§ώαmραrt June 26th, 2008 4:18 PM

Sorry, but anything with an AR is hacking.

Good on you, you really must have no...I mean lots of time to spare, leveling up your pokemon to L100.

Most people don't have the time and have busy lives. IV breeding and EV training takes too much time anyways.

As for me l only level up my pokemon to around L60 in diamond, wifi takes the care of the rest. :P

Captain Fabio June 26th, 2008 4:36 PM

LOL at prince :P
Thats is a reason why people do it. They don't have time to level some of the pokemon up. But Wifi is a handy little thing :P
BOOST BATTLE!!!!!!

Err I know. :P Don't laugh at me -_-
You on the other hand must be having a wonderful life leveling up your pokes! :P

Captain Fabio June 26th, 2008 4:50 PM

Lol quiet you :P
Since i have graduated from college and going Uni in September I have time on my hands :D
I work to get money so when i ain't doing that or going out with mates i invest some time in Pokemon.
I have a balanced life. Is all good :D

O really!? I didn't know that... ;] Good good.
I'm gonna add your MSN. We can talk there instead of posting junk here. :P

Back on topic... yeah it's not really a hack you should be worried about and no one really cares.

AdvanceMapper June 26th, 2008 7:24 PM

It's not a hack because the AR cannot change permantily (if that's how you spell it) change the interal data on the game because the ARwasn't made for that. It was made to change insignicfict things in the games such as Rare Candy amount. Hacking is for ROMs.

Also, excuse my spelling.

airconditioning June 26th, 2008 9:37 PM

At the end of the day, a Pokemon raised on Rare Candies and hacked TMs is exactly the same as a Pokemon raised on EXP and legitimate TMs. Therefore, I don't care.

And I'm not just saying this because that's how I raise my Pokemon.

Majay-hi June 26th, 2008 11:09 PM

In way its hacking but no one cares and its easy to get as many rare candies as you need just takes a while to get enough points at the battle tower same as a certain TM's

Guitar God in Training June 26th, 2008 11:54 PM

It is technically hacking, but you can get more of those items anyway so it should be alright.
Although if you're planning to use reare candies to level a pokemon straight to level 100, you should EV train it first or else it will have lower stats than if you raised it by battling.

On the ball. The only difference is the amount of time it takes to get to Level 100, and the amount of time it takes to get the TMs.

You can also get Rare Candy from PickUp Pokemon, such as Linoone, Aipom and Meowth. That's how I usually get my Rare Candies, as I usually always have my Linoone in my party. You can actually get Earthquake from PickUp, as well, since I have a mountain of those... XD;

They actually said that they wanted Rare candy so that they didn't waste EVs; they're just wanting to get to a decent level, so that they can get EVs from the Pokemon they need to be defeating. you can't really take on a Level 41 Tentacruel with a Level 18 Pokemon now, can you? :P

Anyway, my thoughts on ARing for Rare Candy and TMs is just like aircon; so what if you're ARing them. At least you aren't ARing "the perfect Pokemon", as some usually refer to one with Max IVs, or setting Pokemon with the ability, Wonder Guard, to effectively make them invincible. The latter are the cases you don't want to be doing, if you're worried about hacking. But Rare Candies and TMs aren't even a big deal. Some do that, while others obtain both games, and trade stuff across, so they have more of. Effectively, you're doing the same thing, only instantaneous; without having to trade things across, in the most tedious manner... :P
