I don't really care if you clone your shinies. :) What I'm talking about is just cheating with the gameplay, like my cousin does. He doesn't train his own Pokemon...or catch them really. He didn't even do the Gyms...he got a friend to...

I have an AR Advance and an AR DS. I ALWAYS play through the game without help the first time. Then, I only use the AR for trivial things, like money and quicker level ups. Oh, and I use it for TMs.
However, I have a fierce policy to NOT use it to capture or hack pokemon. The ones you're fighting are all caught myself, only they have TM moves I'd have to breed for to get otherwise, and they leveled up in half the time to save me the trouble.

I own an Action Replay DS, but I do not know how to use it ironically. I bought one for "legit" purposes. (Ex: Cloning, free items, etc.)
I don't use an AR to hack pokemon or obtain otherwise unobtainable pokemon, such as Arceus, Darkrai, and Shaymin.

E4 Glitch says hi. Oh and movie Darkrai.
Though I don't know about using that glitch to get Arceus...

I never owned a cheating device, it's not worth the money IMO.
I see no point in getting a game if you are too lazy to play it.
If you use cheating devices to get events you might have reason, but for me getting events that way doesn't really count. Cheated event Pokémon aren't really special since they aren't hard to get. I'd rather have none than cheated ones.

That's still cheating (excluding movie Darkrai). Just because you don't need an external device to do it doesn't mean it's not cheating.

Most people just use an AR to get infinite of all items. Which is understandable because for certain TMs like Stealth Rock, having only 1 isn't enough, and people don't feel l like painstakingly saving up points from the Battle Tower to get TMs like Earthquake or searching for a bunch of Luvdisc to get a Heart Scale. I think people using an AR is get Event Pokemon is also understandable because Nintendo's whole event system is ridiculous and most people aren't able to make it to them and would you rather drive all the way to NYC for an event, or just use a AR to get it in 5 mins?

I say as long as you're doing things that would be possible within the game SOME kind of way (not events), it really isn't much to get fussed up about. Having all the good TMs is possible through a combination of the Battle tower and Battle Revolution, and also through breeding. And if I want 15000 exp. from beating up a lvl. 2 wild starly, who cares? I could train my Gengar upt o lvl. 50 the traditional way.
What should you care if my Gyarados has Earthquake from Battle Points or from my AR? It's not an illegal Gyarados, and unless I told you it wouldn't make any difference.

I don't cheat, in fact, I consider the use of walls, Ubers, and certain OU pokemon cheating, just because they take away from the fun of battling.

I think I've seen this post somewhere else before... either way, it made me lol. The part about walls, I mean.
I have indeed cheated long before, it was the Emerald Version. I basically outgrew New-Gaming FireRed version to Obtain the TM's I needed for the game, I cheated using the "Obtain all TM's", makes life easier
oh, for those of you who say that cheating means you are a lazy bum and not knowing how to play? I could just tell you to get a life, k?

If you think about it...that doesn't make sense. xD
We're all entitled to our own opinions, and that's mine. Personally, if you think that hacking every Pokemon, cheating on Gym battles and in gameplay doesn't make you lazy then I don't know what does. T.T
The only problem I have with people who cheat is Wi-Fi usage. It's very annoying and frustrating when every trainer you battle seems to have all of the unobtainable Pokémon in their shiny form and level 100. Some people out there, like me, actually spend time and work hard to train Pokémon. It's just a let-down that so many people take advantage of technology.

Hilarious. :D
Just don't use Pokes caught in Cherish Balls on WiFi, or else you'll be called a hacker, even if the Poke itself is legit.
