Hacks-Hate 'Em or Love 'Em?
 
I thought this would be an interesting conversation.

Discuss your opinion on hacks here!

Do you like them or dislike them?


Do you use hacks on a regular basis?

If you make hacks, do you make legal hacks or illegal hacks?

Why they are liked:

You can change any part of a Pokemon, including stats, moves, etc.

Why they are disliked:

They can potentially ruin a game.

They are frowned upon in Wi-fi


Personally, I don't mind if I go up against a legal hack, but illegal ones drive me crazy!

You sort of mislead me with the word hacks. I do like them, even though I don't use them much, because it makes raising Pokemon just that little less tedious. I only use "hacks" to make legal movesets though.

Don't like em. I like to know I earned my pokemon.

I think hacks are perfectly fine to use as long as the hacked pokemon have IVs not above 31, not insanely high stats, moves they couldn't normally get, etc.

Breeding can be fun for some people who have the time and patience to get pokemon with nearly perfect or perfect IVs and natures, but it's really not fun for a lot of people, so I think using hacks is perfectly fine, as long as it's nothing crazy.

... Of course, there are always going to be those people who claim that hacks ruin the game, but personally, hacks make pokemon more fun for me. I would not be playing pokemon today if I wasn't able to hack pokemon, because honestly; I don't have the time or patience to get everything legitimately. I don't have the time to play through the pokemon games on GC to get the legendary beasts and other pokemon with special moves. There are other examples of things like this in pokemon, too, but that's just one of many. XD

I guess I can understand why some people dislike hacks because it would take them hours to get a pokemon with good IVs, but that's just the way it is, unfortunately. Personally, I don't even think IVs should exist, it would solve a lot of problems (in my opinion). :P

You took the words right out of my mouth there.

I have done some Pokesav requests for myself and some friends, but otherwise, I don't seem to use it as I have to copy those LONG codes into my AR as I lost the cable.

Discussion of hacks isn't allowed. If we wanted to have an open discussion on hacks, a staff member would've created it~
