3rd Gen Is cheating THIS bad? [question]

[Nicolosi]

Pokerus is the best side effect about using gameshark

I knew someone who actualy got pokerus and didnt use gameshark. This is possible but it is almost one in 189537.472 to 1

But the berry glitch happens to me a lot of the time. But I rarely use berries I just use potions and antidotes

Really????
I once got it, withougth GS or AR.
But, my cartdige broke

just to express my intrest I HATE BAD EGGS THEIR THE MOST EVIL GLITCH IN THE GAME EEEEVIIIILLLL!!!! thank goodness i used an emulator XD

but on my emulated game a certain cheat turned the Key item "Tea" into the item ?? which does nothing! and i now can't go to saffron! + there are a million bad eggs in my pc :'( . but that nothing comared to what happend next. i found a shiny Pidgey and i caught it... but it had TO GO TO MY PC AND IT TURNED INTO A BAD EGG!!!

Just to update anyone who's interested...

I've discovered that berries disappearing is actually a normal part of the game. I did an experiment on a freshly opened Emerald game; I planted two berries, and kept a close eye on them. One I would pick each time I got to it in time (as a control, as we say in the science geek world), and the other I left alone, didn't even touch. It took approximately 5 days for the untouched berry to vanish. So I don't know why it happens, but it's normal (annoying as it may be). I've also noticed some berries NEVER vanish, like Leppas. I've yet to see a Leppa Plant just up and say bye bye. It's also possible that others berries take longer to vanish, I chose the Pinap berry to test it on, because it's one of the fasted growing berries out there. Maybe one week I'll do a test on EVERY single berry possible, and write my own guide. I'll call it...the "Brownian Berry Glitch", Brown, of course, being my last name. ;-)

Although it's not really a glitch... it just sounds cool.

But the lesson is: DO NOT PLANT BERRIES UNLESS YOU PLAN TO PICK THEM.

This is especially important for those rare berries. Plant them, pay close attention, water, and pick. Do not plant another one unless you intend to repeat the process, as they usually do not last forever, like that little chick in the Pretty Petal Shop tells you. She's a liar!! haha

I remember that when I used an AR on my Sapphire, when I got my first TMs and tried using them, the game just froze. I do NOT intend on using it again.

Once, when I had a gameshark and only the old Gold, Silver, Crystal, etc. existed, I used it. But it screwed up my games and I had to delete my account on them and it was just a big pain. Of course, I never used them to get my team to lv. 100 or anything, mostly for walking through walls and getting shinies, but I deleted it right after I did that because I felt bad for cheating. The point of the game is to have fun and to challenge yourself, not to cheat.

i have a BLACK gameshark (there is a difference) and i used almost all the cheats, but nothing THAT bad happened except 4 maybe a bad egg or 2 and i screwed up thingermajij. and same with AR.

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I used both GS and AR and I never had this problem before, its probably the code you were using or something like that.

I just got my action replay last week and nothing bad happened maybe that was the case for the older versions or you just got a bad one.

I've already said that the berry stuff happens normally in the game (at least in a vast majority of them). I call it the Brownian Berry Glitch, although 'glitch' doesn't really mean anything... it's more like "Brownian Berry Vanishings". haha, oh man am I lame.

There are much worse things to happen due to cheating, like Bad Eggs.

Bad Eggs always interested me... do you think Nintendo put that glitch in on purpose, to sort of punish the cheaters out there? It seems too organized and... clean to be a simple glitch brought on by gameshark/action replay alone. What do you guys think?

I agree that bad eggs were put in by Nintendo to punish cheaters.
