Alright, that's 2 who want to do this. If no more want to join in by next Monday, the "tournament" will go on, with just those two participants duking it out.
So... I just realized, after leveling a Chansey to 100, that I can get a shiny IV 31 all Chansey with Seismic Toss. The process is a bit time consuming since my Generation IV games are... husks, but I can probably do it. Which means, in the end, I'll have 2 Normal types which people might complain about even though the end result is exactly the same as if I did it "by the book". So in that regard, let me ask:
What is your tolerance level on "legit" Pokemon?
For me, I don't like straight-out hacks. But for a situation where I end up with the EXACT SAME thing as if I did it by hand, then I have no qualms about cheating devices. An example is getting a shiny IV 31 all Legendary Pokemon with a cheating device in Generation IV or V. If that Legendary was encounterable in Generation IV and V, and was not shiny-locked (Reshiram, Zekrom, Victini), then I could've RNGed it to shiny IV 31 all anyways, so what's the harm in using a cheating device in this situation?
And to be clear, I don't use a cheating device (I also don't have one). But in theory, I'd be okay as long as I could've done it by hand.
And I only ask because if I choose to use a certain Clefable (Softboiled) or Chansey, there may be complaints about them having Generation III move tutor moves despite having hatched from Sinnoh or Johto.
