[selce]

other than the missingno cheat back in blue havnt cheated on a pokemon game...then again the last game i had before i got soulsilver was blue

Then tomorrow I go to school, and see that everyone else who has the game has a party that consists of all the legendaries in the game, a few legendaries not in the game, and they're all level 100.

I don't suppose that half were shiney too, were they?

I suppose that I could understand hacking event Pokemon. They're not exactly hard to get, but you only really get one chance...unless it just plain hasn't been realeased yet (looks at all the Arceus users).

I always "Completed" the game before cheating.

But... the main part of pokemon's gameplay is levelling up and catching things that are hard to catch! That's like playing a Total War game and limiting yourself to archers only.

Hell no! Nothing felt more satisfying than pounding the Elite Four with my completely hand-raised (not a single Rare Candy!) level 100 Blastoise.

Raising your Pokemon is the most satisfying part of the whole game.

I once did the Missingno cheat in Red though, but purely because I was curious how it looked. The thing's useless anyway.

This. I cheated back in Red and Blue, both to get Missingno and because everyone else in my school was doing it and if I hadn't then I would have been unable to compete with their Lv. 100 Pokemon. I haven't cheated since, aside from using an AR to get some Pokemon, but that was so long ago, I don't even remember what they were.

My pride and joy is still my Lv. 100 Kyogre from Sapphire.

Though this makes me wonder. Am I the only one who breeds Pokemon he catches at high level so he can raise them from the ground up?

Arceus has actually been released, got him at an event in GAME shortly before the UK release of HG/SS. It triggers an event in-game as well, nice little cut scene and such.

OT: I have glitched the hell out of the original Red version out of curiosity, but on any game after that generation I haven't cheated. I actually like the process of building a party, from starting with some ideas to actually doing the grindy parts.

That is unless you count filming a Nuzlocke run of Fire Red using an emulator...but I use an actual GBA version for playing it properly (to obtain pokémon for my DS games etc).

After beating it I will hack to my heart's content. Raising an actual team takes far too long.
