Cheating the system

[Drako]

I noticed that there is quite a rukus on if a pokemon is hacked or not so I have a question. If you were to use an Action Replay to obtain the items to capture darkrai or any other event only pkm, is that pokemon hacked or considerd thereof?

 

[Anti-Cloner]

Yes. I think that is considered as cheating. Pokemon Database may not be, but I'm pretty sure that and AR is considered cheating.

True. My next q is, have there been any online events for D/P? If so, will there by any more?

Depends on the person.

There have only been Wi-Fi events for Jap. Platnium.

Hacking is using any external device to do something that otherwise wouldn't have happened in your game.

If I hacked to get a wonder card, it's indistinguishable from receiving it at the event. If I hack to get Shayin in Diamond, it's obviously hacked because the item was never released. That's why the term "legal" exists. It accounts for anything that looks legit, but you don't know the origin of it (IE you didn't raise it/capture it yourself). For better or for worse, a proper hack is indistinguishable from using legit game mechanics and events, so the best way to identify a hack is when it falls outside of legal parameters (illegal move set, improper Pal-PArk info, etc..)

If you use action replay to obtain a pokemon, it is hacked. If you use action replay to obtain an item, it is hacked. If you use action replay to obtain something that you are not obtaining through regular gameplay, it is hacked.

Cheating is bad.
