I have no quarrel with cheating in pokemon, nor towards anyone else that does it. If you get more enjoyment out of the game you own by walking through mountains or fighting with 255 EVs in every stat, go for it.
Go online with crazy mons' if you want (sturdy shedinja :creep:), but you'll be banned pretty quickly.

Yeah, I have a ton of hacked Pokemon from when I had my first Pokemon game (HeartGold). I love to use them in single player, and sometimes with friends (after getting permission to use them) in local battles, but I never use them online due to the fact that I don't want to make things unfair.

I think in Black, I even got a Shiny Genesect that had 255 in all hidden stats (ButI didn't know that it had 255 in all hidden stats until years after that). Never used it online once.

Most people don't mind cheating if it's purely done in singleplayer. It's when they take their cheating and use it in multiplayer that it becomes an issue since it ruins the playing experience for others.

Cheating makes the games story, progression or any reason to play it useless. I haven't used cheats in a game since I was a kid.
Same.

Now, I only cheat in order to find secrets and hidden objects in my favorite games. (Why did that remind me of boundary break?)

I cheat to make some Pokemons shinny (I like some colors), and to evolve Haunter, but I never play Pokemon online so...

That's perfectly fine, given that you only play online.

That reminds me of the first shiny Pokemon that I got legit...

...good times...

The Only Time I Cheat In Pokemon Games Is Only At The Start Of The Adventure To Build My Team(Mainly Consists Of Water,Fire,Grass,Flying,Electric/Fight And The Final Slot I Leave It For The Legendary Depending On The Game) And I Raise My Team With No Cheats. I Only Use Encounter Codes To Get A Charmender And Treeko As Well As Pikachu As They Are My Favourite. Cheating Pretty Much Makes The Game Easy So The Eccounter Code Is The Only One I Use.

I don't care about genning legal Pokémon. They're no different from the same Pokémon bred in game. I've bred tons of legitimate Pokémon too and that's just a boring grind and biking around. There's no skill in breeding, it's just time consuming.

I don't care if someone cheats in single player. That's their game, their experience, and doesn't effect me in the slightest. But I do hate when people cheat online or trade fake pokemon.
