Is this wrong?

[ChronicEdge]

Since I lost my DS, I've been playing Crystal like a fiend. I now have a new DS, and I plan to get Diamond or Platinum in the near future. While I've been playing Crystal, I've become very attatched to my team (Typhlosion, Dragonite, Suicune, Forretress, Skarmory, and Espeon). When I have my new DS game, I'm going to borrow my cousin's GameShark and "move" my Crystal Pokemon onto Diamond by generating a Pokemon of the same species as each of my Crystal Pokemon, each one at level 100 and possessing of their respective Crystal moves and stats, and all of them with a neutral nature. Then, I want to use this team on PBR online play. Do you think this constitutes as cheating? I'm not changing moves, stats, levels, IV's, EV's or anything else. I'm not even going to use 4th-gen TM's on them. I've also checked the Pokedex at pokemon.marriland.com to make sure that no Pokemon has stats exceeding their respective max (and they, heh, don't). I don't think it's wrong, but since I'd be playing against other people with these, I won't do it if a lot of people aren't cool with it.

Thanks for the input, sorry for the lengthiness.

I'm not sure if PBR will accept these. I know it won't accept crazy hacks, like a Pokemon exceeding max stats, but this I'm not sure about.

Personally, I wouldn't mind. Myself, I don't use cheats to get my Pokemon, but that's me. As long as they're legit, I wouldn't mind. Other people might not take so kindly to it.

I do see where you're coming from, though. You could easily (well, not easily) just raise the team again on your Diamond or Platinum, but you've technically done it on Crystal.

So yeah, I wouldn't mind.

I think it's okay, since you yourself trained that team on Crystal, so pretty much hacking them onto another gen game isn't cheating. The only difference is that the DS didn't support the color games, but it did the Advance ones. I see nothing wrong with that, but is, well, my opinion only.

I dont think its ok. DP was never designed to b able to get the pokemon from GSC and using a gameshark to do so wouldnt b right. I mean, a lot of other people have played through GSC like a madman, training their pokemon to b the best but cannot transfer them into their DPPt. So in doing so would b kinda cheating. But u should ask somebody u knows more about PBR.

PBR won't accept hacked Pokemon and rightfully so. Besides, using Pokemon with neutral natures and no EV training is bound to result is morunful losing all the time on PBR.

I don't know how your going to do that exactly because system of the old games is different then the new games so I don't know how you're going to make the crystal team exactly the same.
Anyways, I would just recomend making the Pokemon all over again without gameshark, that's what I'm doing with my crystal Pokemon.

Does D/P just not accept trading from G/S/C, or the G/S/C Pokemon itself? If it's the first, you could theoretically borrow someone's R/S/E version, then transfer your Pokemon from Crystal to R/S/E to D/P.

My two, er, pence, on the matter.

My friend Aran does what I call acceptable hacking. He tends to hack Pokémon into his DS games at their natural status, at level 1-5, and train them up from there. It's as simple as making it appear instead of another wild Pokémon, I think.

If you do that, I can't see how people would have a problem - as long as you avoided the temptation of hacking stats etc.

No, there is no compatibility between GSC and RSE =[ they were released four years apart and are on different systems. The way you can transfer RSE/FRLG to your DS is that the DS games take the Pokémon off the cartridges and the GBA game isn't really aware.

Do you have 3rd gen games? If you have them then you can catch the ones not available in D/P/Pt and transfer them over. If you don't then you don't have much choice besides cheating I guess..............

I had Ruby, Emerald, and FireRed, but they were all stolen.

Such is my life of late...

HASEO!!!

Aww... I HATE hacked pokemon! In my opinion, they're not real (Which is quite true)
Why don't you just earn your team? For example, you could use the GTS to obtain them , or you could catch them on your other GBA games (Firered, Emerald ect) and send them using Palpark. Not by Cheating! :@

I can't get them off of a GBA game 'cause I don't have an extra fourty dollars to spend on a used copy of Emerald (which is, in my opinion, a ridiculous price). As far as the GTA goes... I quite frankly cannot stand traded Pokemon. I've seen to many OT's named "matt" or "SOMETHINGJAPANESEINALLCAPITOLLETTERS," and not being able to nickname them does NOT improve the situation. I wouldn't have a problem trading for a female and then breeding, but what am I supposed to do about Suicune? He/She ended up becoming the focus of my team, man.

If you can get them over I say you should go for it. You aren't cheating, not really, anyways. I just see it as finding a way to keep your hard earned team alive.

 

[Echoing Song]

I wouldn't really see that as cheating...

I mean... you love your team right? You just want to do something otherwise impossible and move them from 2nd to 4th gen...

I would probably do the same thing myself if I was in the situation you're in
