Yeah, i really think it ruins the fun of the game. The only "cheating" i can really condone is cloning.. maybe. You get to keep your precious pokemon and receive one you don't have. But i can understand why people bash that.

Yeah, I used to dupe with the pokemon holding items. I don't really trade any significant rare pokemon so it was never a need for me. but yeah, I don't consider it hacking unless you do what I did with items. xD again, I don't do that anymore.

Im my opinion yes you are because it takes up your time, and someone that cheats can complete it in 5 mins... Legit people cannot do that within 5 mins of starting a game, if people know what i mean
I know I do. I am going to complete it legitly and you know what? It will be great, cheaters that do that lack the feeling of accomplishment after completing the pokedex
I cheat. :/

I have other things I want to do besides running around searching for Pokemon, and breeding them to perfection. :/

It's only a video game.
Yes it is a video game but outside of getting 8 gym badges beating the League and raising a pokemon to level 100, breeding and catching more pokemon essentially is the point of pokemon. Take away that and what fun do you have?

No, they are the same if I can say I dislike Smogon for so and so, I got the proper reason why I dislike Smogon. WWE is more of a "I just really don't like the show because it suck." Same way for the movie call Twilight and the same way I can do for the Scorpion King 3. I also hate stairs, caves, the ocean, planes, snow, and Missouri.

But you know what I don't hate? I will never hate Pikachu.

But you can't say you dislike Smogon for so and so because you didn't give a valid reason. "Their members hate you?" Well people here hate you and you don't seem to have a problem with this site. You have given NO proper reason to hate smogon. "I don't like this show because it sucks?" That makes no sense at all.

You hate the Ocean and Missouri? Get out.

Well....I know I don't like you. Also, are you still on about the three people example? It wasn't three people you know. Now I dislike Smogon more.

You hate Smogon more because you gave wrong info? lol

Well the Bible says to forgive so I know I should, but cheating's still not cool. Even if I used hacked pokemon for fun I would let someone know to be sure they were okay with it and I'd have real pokemon waiting in the wings.

Again, just another reason why everyone should just replying to you. As I've noticed, you stop and then you start again, usually with good points and somewhat decent answers. But the longer you talk the more you just prove that you should just be ignored. You posted this like 10 pages ago already. Why post it again? When you run out of arguments, just shush, please.

BACK ON TOPIC.

many smogon users have had the same idea, honestly, it's just that many have given up due to the fact that the vast majority of the population of serebii are smogon-bashers who barely know what smogon even does. the above article is a good read and will hopefully explain that point. The Human ego/pride is a terrible thing to mess with, and once you go against what they think is 'right,' you'd get more people complaining about using Smogon tiers, which would also mean more people hating Smogon.

as for smogonites joining the discussion, i myself am an avid member of that community and i believe some of the other users posting here may be.
This would be the best. I mean, sure, it would be difficult and quite buggy at first, but once this ran off, a lot of people would be more educated. And anyone claiming anything out of ignorance would not be able to hold their argument long, because tiering and Smogon rules would then become accessible outside of Smogon, thus preventing anymore excuses. It would no longer only be a Smogon thing, it would be a Pokemon community as a whole thing.

Only problem with this is that you'd get more people enforcing the 'Smogon rules/tiers,' which is one of the few, more intelligent arguments in this thread.

A few years ago, I watched a video for the cloning glitch in Emerald on Youtube, and then decided to try it on my own game. I experimented on a Makuhita and it worked! Then quite while later, I tried to do it on my Regis... but I think I forgot a step or did it in the wrong order because instead of cloning them it deleted them entirely from my game. D: I stayed away from that glitch after that.

After long debates where he cannot win, Diz~ does this. Once he's backed into a corner, Diz~ resorts to just spewing garbage. It's like a little kid throwing a tantrum.

And how do you deal with little kids throwing a tantrum? You ignore them. Which is what I suggest we do with Diz~, because it's pointless. He's gone on like, 20 pages worth of ramblings about the same thing, and it's gone nowhere.

Debate? Ahhhh I see. It nice that people are paying attention of how I think about Smogon. It like, I'm walking on the rainbow.

Personally I don't care for Smogon. Does that mean I hate them or "Have a problem" with them? No. I believe that everyone should be able to play the way they want.

I don't bash Smogon because they play differently then me, and I expect them to do the same for me(which they do).

Everyone just needs to relax and have fun. It is just a game, after all.

What are you talking about? They've had Individual Values since before you were (probably) born. Your logic really astounds me. They ASSIGN pokemon in the game possible Individual Values and then YOU CATCH/BREED them to get/pass on Pokemon with said values. The whole system was purposely put into the game to be used, which is why they have a CHECKER just for that. (And they have, since like, Sinnoh (it may be Hoenn, but I'm pretty sure its Sinnoh).)

There is no way that you can prove RNGing is cheating. While EV'ing, on the other hand...

So don't try to "drag" RNGing down by making it seem dirty when in reality you can't think of an excuse to prove that RNGing is cheating/not cheating.

That was too easy.

had two in the last 24 hours:

Desperately breeding a Rhyhorn for my VGC team, being thrilled at the stats and hurrying to EV...then offing a wild Ratata by accident o_O At least it's only 2 EV's (item equipped) so it's not too damaging...doesn't help that I have no Speed berries on that cart.

The second was a few hours ago when I realized that TCG for GBA has an auto save if it powers off mid game (her batts died mid-match and it loaded right up mid-battle when I hit the switch)...how come they all don't do that?!?!?

I'm so lost on the current convo that I'm going to just skip over it and state my opinion.

Use of internal methods like RNG (not really cheating, but whatever), cloning, etc. Not a big deal. I personally have that 'Spirit of Pokemon' bug, so I'm not entirely for it, but I mean. If you do it and we battle, I don't care.

Use of external methods like PokeSav, AR, Game Shark (do those even still exist?), etc? Well, depends. In-Game? Cheat to your hearts content. It's in-game. Do whatever floats your boat. Make your character walk on water if you like.

But if you're battling others? Well, I have two opinions.
a.) Non-competitive/casual. At LEAST let the other person know. And if you're using hacks like "ATTACK IS NOW 999!" and such, LET THEM KNOW. They're most likely expecting a clean, fair fight. That's the exact opposite, unless they're doing it too.
b.) Competitive. You better not. That's really not fair. RNG is fine. IVs and EVs aren't even cheating. Having a better strategy is not cheating. Tiers are not cheating. They play fair, and so should you. Random Match-up, offering a battle with someone in the Competitive Section, etc. It's not cool. They expect a fair fight. Have some courtesy and just go somewhere casual where they will accept your cheated Pokemon.

Those are my thoughts. :)
 
I used to know this girl, traded hacked Pokemon to a dozen guys. One of them found out about it, beat her up so bad she ended up in a hospital on Guererro St.

What a story mark

Its fine to cheat, otherwise how could you get half the event pokemon without Wi-fi?

RNG i'm a bit iffy on, but i wont stop you from using it

I just find it ridiculous that people spend so much time analyzing a video game that's meant for younger children. Nothing against them, really.

Gamefreak created these things that are analyzed. Some people are obviously going to put time into seeing how it all works and how to create the 'perfect' team blah. And I don't know these people enough to make a judgement about them as a whole.
