Cheating - when is it okay?
In your opinion, is it okay to cheat? When is it okay? What's not okay?
I believe that cheating is okay to obtain things you can't obtain anymore or with another game pack. So using a code to make a certain Pokemon appear is okay, as long as it's not obtainable in your game. But hacking Fly onto a Diglett, or Hydro Pump on a Charmander, isn't okay. |
I dont really like cheating on pokemon, it ruins the game.

Personally, I think cheating ruins the fun and challenge of a game, so I don't really like to do it. If someone really likes cheating, I think that's fine, so long as they're not affecting anyone who wants to play legitimately.

I really don't see the point of cheating, it totally defeats the object of the game. If other people choose to cheat their game, that's fine by me!
|
It says i'm the only one who voted it's never okay.
well it's not |
it's OK if you do it while you play the game.
it's definitly not OK for competitive battle! |
Me, I only think that's it's okay when you clone things. Other than that, I think it just ruins the experience of the game. If you just rip through a game with an AR, where's the fun in that? What's the point of buying the game in the first place?
|
Considering that this thread is in the GenI/GenII section, and I have ROMs for all GenI/GenII games short of the elusive English Green, I think it's only fair to cheat so long as you don;t take the game seriously. I recently did a playthrough of Red where I hacked a Mewtwo as my starter and just wrecked everything in the game for the fun of it. XD

I used to cheat to get the events. Nintendo never thought about the people in small countries like Costa Rica that can't travel to the United States or Mexico (which is my case). At least all the events are on Wi-Fi now but I wish they would repeat some events so people that missed them could get a second chance (like me with the [email protected] event).
|
It ruins the point of the game. People who actually went to events or imported games to get such pokemon deserve what they have. While people who cheated, even if it's impossible to get such pokemon on their version or in their region, ruin the value of having such a rare pokemon. It's even more sad when cheated pokemon are traded without telling the receiver.
|
I don't think its ever okay to cheat on a Pokemon game or in real life.
So yeah, I thinks okay to cheat. |
lumiina: Maybe that's why Mew stopped being the rarest Pokémon in my country. Now it's Feebas.
|
I think it is ok if you have done everything in the game without cheating.
|
Honestly, I think cheating should always be permissible to accomplish the things you badly do not want to do. Eg. Grinding weaker pokemon, catching rare pokemon in certain routes not necessarily by hacking them, but by increasing the speed of the game. I now play on roms to avoid having to erase my handheld games and I personally think that the speed up button actually makes the gaming experience more enjoyable.

But meh, I don't have the right to say if people should cheat or not, as long as no-one else forces me to cheat, then but all means go ahead. Quote:

Cheating is okay when A. you're young and stupid like I was when I hacked Silver, or B. you've finished a game and want to have a little bit of extra fun with it, i.e. forming a team made up entirely of Wonderguard Spiritomb to effectively piss off everyone you know. Points if they're all level one.
|
Cheating is perfectly fine if you're having fun and no one is suffering while you do it.

I used to think the last answer when I was on a new forum (isn´t existing anymore, it got deleted shortly before the release of Platinum in Europe) where the main point was cheating. First of all, it was really fun but after a while, it just got boring (even if it´s just cheating yourself the Lunar Wing again cuz you wanna keep it and STILL being able to catch Cresselia!^^) . Since then, I think 2 is the way to go. Cheating is okay when you´re only doing it to get events like Celebi (which us Europeans still haven´t gotten in an honest way for 11 years now... and we´re still waiting...) !^^
And @shininglatios: Another reason why Mew´s not that rare anymore is that you can get one in My Pokemon Ranch!^^ |
I used to do it when I was younger but then I developed a challenging attitude so I stopped...and recently my little brother and I have been doing quick run-throughs with each generation(excluding D,P,PT cuz I don't have one) but we got HG,SS and I was beating him by three gyms then he used an action replay and beat me in the same day.
|
If its not to gain an unfair advantage in competative battling then meh, it's not a big deal imo.
The only cheats I can say i've used in RBY are the mew cheat and the glitch that lets you skip Brock's gym. |
