Do you guys consider this cheating?

To use an action replay simply to obtain the tickets not the pokemon themselves seeing as how it is impossible for me to ever go to one of the events to hand them out. I don't see what is so wrong here as I'm not altering any stats of my pokemon I just want to be able to complete my Pokedex without having to fly to the US to do so.

Although what does the pokemon community say on this?

Technically, yes, it is cheating, no matter the justification.

Personally, though I having nothing against doing it, as you're only using an alternate means to get pokemon that Nintendo has, essentially (indeliberatly, as well), prevented you from obtaining.
 
Thanks I don't see what the difference is the pokemon are offical just the tickets have been altered using a way since not everyone can get these tickets. Nintendo does the exact same thing as these gamesharks do...is it just offical because they press the modifier instead of you? I could see if I were masterballing pokemon or catching 23 celebis but i'm just getting the tickets as I know i'll never be able to get them via Nintendo.

Use of AR is cheating. I don't do that. My pokedex is 384. I have not Celebi and Mew. I am waiting for Nintendo event...

I would say its cheating, because AR is considered a cheating device. Like you said your just getting the tickets not the actually pokemon, but in the eyes of many this is still cheating because you had to use the AR to get them.

I'd say it's cheating
 
Nintendo doesn't come to Aussie for events.

Although we arent supposed to talk about it, I still have some input, and I hope all these peolpe who get their panties in a knot about anything with GS/AR can understand this:
It might be cheating, but its fine. Not everyone can go to a stupid event. That simple. And as long as you dont do any stupid cheats like inf. Health or 999 stats you should not have anything to be ashamed of.

and I hope that you can understand this.... the only pokemon that cannot be obtained except by ticket is mew and deoxys.
Celebi is unobtainable except for download.
Ho-oh is on colosseum.
Lugia is on XD.
Jirachi is on the US colosseum pre-order or the PAL pokemon channel.
So that makes Mew and Deoxys (celebi too but there is no ticket to cheat for so it's just plain cheating for one) the only pokemon that cannot be obtained unless in an event.....
Do you absolutely need to have those 2 (just 2!!!!) pokemon?????
they are not needed to complete the dexes. What is so important about them that you have to cheat for them? I don't have them and probably never will...... Why do you have to obtain them at all?
my "panties" are not in a knot.... i just don't understand the logic that becase you can't get access to 2 pokemon that cheating becomes an acceptable option.

So you must have been to an event which is impossible for some people.

I agree with pelican.
Also, the tickets WILL NOT WORK if you simply have them. I have a cheated Eon Ticket in my Ruby, and it is impossible to use it. The Nintendo Download machine also conveys to the game that the proper object of programming has been put into the game, so the guy at the dock will actually have a different reaction. In other words, the item alone means nothing. You actually have to use a warp code to get to those places, and that is much more cheating than just getting the tickets.

The only pokemon he would have had to goto an event for would be Deoxys...... But... in europe.... Nintendo Of Europe IIRC had a faux-event where you could send them your cartridge for a deoxys ticket download.
Not necessarily goin to an event, just taking advantage of something that happened. The only Pokemon I do not have are mew, celebi, Lugia, and Deoxys. Once I get XD i'll have lugia. I do not plan to ever have th others because I will never use a cheating device ever on my games nor do I expect to ever goto an event.

If the pokemon are caught fairly then yes it is not cheating
You call a event that is only held in only a few towns around the USA, fair? It isnt fair that so very few people will get their hands on a "legit" legendary. People dont choose where the events are held at and all. <i>That</i> <b> is not</b> fair.

It is cheating, but I can understand why you did it. I think it isn't right that these nintendo events are only in Japan, and a few chosen cities.

Well, it isn't illegal, but it's certainly unfair. I personally did use a code on my FR cart so I could go to Birth Island and Navel Island, do I feel good that I had to? No, but I also don't have the time or money to drive a couple hundred miles just so I can get those tickets, plus I don't think my job would like me leaving for a few days so I could get a Pokemon.
