How do you feel about Pokemon clones & hacks?

I think using action replay is fine, as long as you are not using it to create ridiculous things such as Wondertomb, No-guard Pokemon with Sheer Cold, etc and try to trade with others' legitimately hard-earned Pokemons through WiFi.

I hack / use AR on ROMs because it is fun, while on my DS cartridge I'd play it legitimately and seriously. The only exceptions to this are events, which I use it only to activate the event then catch the associated Pokemon legitimately, because I know that I would never have a chance to receive a Mystery Gift Card, event Pokemon, etc.

So yeah - Using cheats / hacks with moderation is perfectly okay, it's just those who decide to go over the line, screw others and 'ruining the fun of the game'.

As for cloning, I have no grudge against it whatsoever, considering that it is actually quite beneficial for those who have a trade shop, etc.
 
I will admit, I used to hack certain Pokemon into my games, but ONLY the Pokemon. It was usually for a trade evolution or to get a version exclusive. Only now since HG has come out that I can trade freely between my games, without having to cheat for them.
