Action replay users: Why do you use it?

[Arlo]

I use it on the fourth gen and earlier games for extra TMs. There's a code for R/S/E that duplicates any item you use so you never run out, and that's the easiest way to do it. For DPPt, I just add extra TMs to my bag as I need them. I do that because I like to use lots of different pokemon through the course of a game, and there's no way that I can pick just one to get a TM move.

Since TMs are reusable in fifth gen, I don't need to do that any more so I stopped. Then I ran across the show IVs/EVs codes, which are great (I used to use an IV calculator to try to figure out IVs), so I've started using it again for that.

I use it to experiment with various codes and that's it. I don't use it to cheat.

I use it for cloning, checking IVS, etc. I also use it to walk through objects, just for fun (particularly if you're on a new save file and can obtain DPBox).

I've only ever used it for getting unlimited items/potions. I used to use it a lot a long time ago but now I kind of see it as cheating. I would only use it after I completed the elite four and everything else. (Not saying that people shouldn't use it, just I don't enjoy using it in my game anymore)

I use it to get events that aren't available anymore, see an egg's contents and to level up faster for evolutions. I don't trade or go online with hacked Pokemon. It ruins the fun.

I've only used it once and that was in my Pearl game.

My brother's friend used it to give me some hacked shinies that I kept for Pokedex purposes and to get event Pokemon like Shaymin.

Otherwise I don't like to use hacks and cheats because I like to play the game normally.

I like changing my sprite on pokemon crystal to the fat guy :D
