Err...yay?
It was brought to my mind from the recent Celebi/Event thread and someone said they AR the Tickets to the legendaries, since i assume that they do not have the means to go to the events, Im not really sure what to say about it, because I can relate to because there arent really any in my area =[. I have been tempted but have yet too, so I ask you guys...

If someone AR'ed the tickets and went to catch them making the pokemon look completely legit would you consider that cheating? Would their game and who ever they trade with be 'tagged' with that code?

Im curious what you guys think =], is there a line where its ok to AR? Or just say tough luck to the people who cant?

They have every right to, especially if they can't access an event. I doubt the game is tagged when that kind of codes is used, and a I considered Pokemon caught this way to be semi-legit, rather than legit/not legit.
 
Hmm, yeah, I would have to agree with you as well.

BTW very nice Shiny Collection =], you should let me in on the secrets lol ;]
 
I'm with you guys on this one. I even went and ordered an AR off codejunkies just for the sole purpose of being able to soft reset for deoxys. I dont care if people dont consider it legit or not. Its the only possibly way of obtaining it so i dont see how its a problem. I also planned on using it to get the other "unobtainables" and maybe lunatone too since i dont have sapphire and will be unable to complete the honnen dex wihtout it on emerald when i obtain it at christmas.
 
this is a bit redundant as anyone with experience knows that ar'ing sharking tickets will not get you to the islands. All this does is create an object in the game. the tickets also need to be activated which involves more coding.

cheaters usually take the very very easy route of simply warping to the island. sharking tickets is pretty stupid.

for people outside of america it is the only way they can get these pokemon. untill nintendo make them more readily available to people who pay good money for their products I dont personally care. the only mews and deoxies I consider cheated are the ones made to appear on the wrong route or that have been made with pokemon maker.

BTW you dont need an ar/ gameshark. just do it on a computer and transfer with a cart.

It depends really. If you can get to events then yes because it's really just laziness but if you can't get to an event it's understandable.

Some countries completely miss out. Nintendo Australia for example told me when I asked in a letter 3 years ago they were going to give out tour Pokemon and to keep an eye on their site. Well I'll say this much we had a tour but NO tour Pokemon. I kept an eye on their site everyday since that letter and went to the only Pokemon tour they had for the Advance versions which was dissapointing that there was no downloads.

Nintendo Australia said America was hogging the machines. I don't trust them due to them telling me 3 years ago to keep an eye on their site which obviously I'm still checking everyday. I'm still waiting and I'm now feeling like they just slapped me in the face.

I can understand why people will cheat to get to the island to get the tour Pokemon. As long as your careful and know what your doing you should be fine. Though best to study and see what results people before you had when using certain codes.

I don't use cheat devices but boy it has crossed my mind a few times. Though I won't have to worry anymore. I'm getting cloned ones of the legit Pokemon off my friend.
 
Unfortunately we can't discuss cheating devices on the forums, and that includes moral questions like these. It really all comes down to opinion if cheating for some things is "okay" or not.
