It kind of ruins the game. If you have beaten the game like 5 times then it's fun. Sometimes it is fun when it is hard. I enjoy impossible gyms that take me 5 tries. Gyms that take 1 try and 5 minutes are boring. I have an action replay but I only used it after I beat the game 10+ times.

How much are they?

I can't get one...I'm kinda softening my parents up to my pokemon gaming habits, mainly by avoiding my dad and using mum's credit card to buy manga :P

It does sound fun...particularly as my Diamond is glitchy as hell anyway...if I got a job next year, I'd definitely buy it. Just for the cloning, egg hatching, etc.

I only use it once i've completed the game to be honest! I don't think its right cheating through the game since you don't really get that sense of acomplishment!

my bros friends AR whiped all the data on all the games, so he got a new one, gave me the old one, and then the new 1 broke:)
AND i fixed my new AR
woop free action replay
lol, every AR you buy has cheats already loaded for most games (of course not all since new ones get released and you have to update them with the software!)
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

The thread isn't asking for or discussing codes for AR, so I find it fine. However, since AR can be used for more than just HG/SS, I'll move this to General Pokémon Gaming for further discussion.

As for myself, I don't have Action Replay. Always worried it would mess up my game file, plus it just ruins the fun for me. So, it's a no go on my part. :\

People who use action replay to complete the game are complete n00bs who don't have the skill to complete such a simple game by themselves. You know all they Pokemon you cheated to get, and thought they were absolutely awesome because they had 999 in every stat? Well, they aren't, because you have put no effort into the game whatsoever.

Action Replay and Poksav is slowly killing Pokemon. What's the challenge or fun in a game if you can just hack your way to victory. Then you get people who say: "Well I just use it to get my ev and iv Pokemon." People today have no patience. I'll get off my soap box.

I always use Action Replay for Pokemon games. Mainly for useless stuff like quick egg hatching, the occasional quick level up and getting more rare items and sometimes getting that Pokemon that keeps alluding me. The things I don't use it for are giving my Pokemon insanely high stats with no effort.

I'm one of the many people going around leveling up my Pokemon the old fashioned way.

Also, I have been using an AR for years and I have NOT had a game been deleted.

You are right, but i also have action replay, and i use it for various tasks.

I see her stretching out below
Land, blessed mother land
The place where I was born

Scars, she’s got her scars
Sometimes it starts to worry me
Cause lose, I don’t want to lose
Sight of who we are

From the mountains high
To the wave-crashed coast
There’s a way to find
Better days I know

It’s been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
This is still the place
That we all call home

I never use mine to complete the game. I only use it to help with leveling, EVing, and breeding. Because I don't have the time to get all my guys up to level 100 on my own, I'm too busy.

Just coming in to say that as long as people aren't asking for codes and chizz, this thread will be allowed to stay up, since there are constant AR discussion threads that go sour. Just make sure y'all ain't the next to turn it haywire.

As for the discussion itself, the only times I've used AR is for event Pokemon, and when I experimented in 6th grade to get a ton of Master Balls and Rare Candies. o3o I also have all the TMs on my storage Diamond. Other than that though, I don't like to use it.

I Use Action Replay, not ALL THE TIME, Like the thread-starter, i bought a seperate copy of Soul Silver, just for AR. But anyway, I'm not a 'n00b' for using it, You're 14, yes? I've been playing pokemon since around the time you were BORN. That is all. :) Action Replay is a wonderful thing. Accept it. Embrace it.

i have one. and i use it but all of the codes dont affect my pokemon. the only thing i really use it for is cloning and iv/ev checking. sometimes fast egg hatch but thats about it. tho i do admit i try some weird cheats on my extra copy of diamond that i restart just for the legendary pokemon.
and sometimes its fun to find the weird little things with walk through walls. which is only with extra copys of my games. (btw if u walk into the trees behind your house in hgss there is a random person there XD)

I'm using AR via emulator... Mostly for Mystery Dungeon 3, this game is quite hard to play without AR. Naturally I make a backup and save game a lot before using it. I know about some consequences from using them.

I've used Action Replay devices for years, I find them fun to mess around with after you've completed a game. :P Admittedly I have used it to modify IV's and for quick EV training but never to give them unobtainable stats. It's never messed up my save files.

I use AR only for obtain event pokemon, get a second masterball ( for emergencies) and to cause glitch on the emulator...I also use pokesav to obtain pokemon that I can't have, but I give them random nature and IVs: for example I get my chikorita like this, since GTS sucks (lv2 chiko with orrible nature for a lv100 lucario WTF?)

I do use an AR on my Heart Gold rom. I have used an AR from a friend on my IRL HG to get all items and fully ev/iv for giggles [because y'know, some people don't have all the time in the world/are impatient]. I might get a real AR sometime.
And no, I don't use the 999 stats cheats, as it is way too cheap. I have my limits.
The best expectation is to have no expectations.
