My vow is permenent. Shaymins coming!

As long as they weren't hacked to have unusually high or beneficial stats and whatnot, then I'm perfectly fine because it doesn't give you an advantage over a legit event Pokemon.

But um... I play online battle simulators nowadays.

I don't like AR's or anything like that, however with that being said, I am willing to use one to obtain event Pokemon by giving myself the Old Sea Chart, Mystic Ticket etc. and then going to the boat and getting to the islands that way.

I mean in all seriousness Nintendo GIVE you the items anyway not making it any different to AR, it's not like you have to do anything in the game to get them and then get access to the events.

As long as you only use AR to get the items and enable the event, then it's fine.
But I don't agree with simply teleporting to the islands and catching the Pokemon though.

Used it once because I was bored... Because the USB port broke. AGAIN. God this ticks me off... -.-

Evangeline McDowell February 3rd, 2009 8:04 PM

I'd feel neutral. I don't have anything against ARs anyway ^_^

Heather February 7th, 2009 6:13 PM

I would feel uncomfortable about it because i partly ruined my pearl with an AR

WiiMann February 7th, 2009 6:18 PM

It's fine if you live way far away from any where that has events but i mean if you can afford to there then why not jsut go but it's not my decision i won't judge ya if you you don't judge me

mtr12 February 7th, 2009 6:20 PM

I don't really care if anyone uses AR. I do, but only to catch the guys.

"Shadow Lugia" February 7th, 2009 6:47 PM

Since I live in a place near all the events, it doesn't come into play for me. The only event I've ever missed is Celebi, and that wan't because I was too far away, but because it wasn't a very good day to wait outside for an hour.

I think it's alright, to do, though, if you're not close to the event.

DarkAkatsuki February 7th, 2009 7:34 PM

Well, I don't hack pokes, but sometimes I think it's ok to hack to get an event pokemon.

salmence33 February 10th, 2009 2:39 PM

No.
I hate cheaters an I'm not going to be one.

sab February 18th, 2009 5:55 PM

I figure If it's the only way that you can get the pokemon, by golly, do it. I also "fun" codes(like to transform your sprite into a green [email protected] ) but I don't belive in "I want to use a code that gets you infinate raquazas." It is fun when people do the clonning glitch and say somthing like agron 9 and under and you rip them off!

zacnoa345 February 18th, 2009 7:15 PM

I did all my events without AR but I would recommend it for getting hard or pokemon that are not available in the certain region.

fenyx4 February 18th, 2009 7:22 PM

I'd prefer AR and PokeSav (PS mainly), because Nintendo can't honestly expect everyone to "catch 'em all" with one cart!! I know trading is emphasized, but some people may be in an isolated area with no one to trade with and may have NO MEANS AT ALL getting to the events. Plus, a lot of events have passed, as someone mentioned earlier. So as long as they're used simply for obtaining Pokemon (or getting shinies, since they don't affect gameplay), it's fine. But max stats, 1 hit auto-kills, etc. is just wrong. And max stats is stupid anyway. The only differences then are the pixels on the screen representing the Pokemon's sprite and the Pokemon's species+nickname. And there's no fun in that. If I'm buying a Pokemon game and playing, obviously I want to become a Master, which can be extremely hard without other carts, AR, & Pokesav. So AR for event Pokemon is absolutely acceptable, IMO.
