Only 3 times; for Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus. But only to encounter them; I caught them legitimately in battle.

I never thought I'd get them legitimately, so...
I sort of regret it now, but there's not much I can do about it anymore. Well, I can restart my game, but considering I have 450 Pokemon caught and 475 Pokemon seen, I'd rather not.

Never hacked. My friends did to see certain pokemon the wild as shinies or battle Darkrai, Arceus and Shaymin.

Yeah, I caught Darkrai legitimately. It only took two PokeBalls!

Yes. Quite a few on Diamond:

Suicune, Darkrai, Heracross, Salamence, Charizard, Sceptile, Gyarados, Ninjask, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Mewtwo, Tyranitar, Garchomp, Skarmory, Latios, Dragonite, Rampardos, Weavile, Gengar.


Those are just the ones I've EV trained.

I've only hacked Blue for Mew so I could raise it from level 5 as my "starter". Good times.

In the Air, Using Up b as an offensive move
I used AR to get my team on Diamond but only because I was too lazy to breed them all for the moves. And I kept them at level 1 with no EV's and randomly generated IV's so I could at least pretend I wasn't doing anything wrong >_> Granted, I probably shouldn't have because now my weavile has a SpAtk stat thats like 30 points below the lowest it can possibly be >.<

To tell the truth I have used action replay to get Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus. However I did catch them legal, and I never use them in battle's.

I caught/traded 490 pokemon, completely legitimately. Then, I had my friend use AR for me, in order to get Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus. It was only because I wanted to finally be able to complete my pokedex.

I'm deeply considering hacking to complete my Pokedex and build my dream team. The completion of the Pokedex and the obscurity of some Pokemon was what kept me from getting hardbody into the game. The TEDIUM....
Were I to be able to start a game of Pokemon with my six at the ready, I'd do it. Also, I always felt bad for the little e-creatures trapped in boxes more often than not. I'd rather just let 'em all run free while I zip about with my big six and a full Pokedex.

I actually did that with Pearl; I picked out six Pokemon I wanted to start with, and bred them into eggs on my Diamond. Then, I restarted my Pearl and traded over the eggs. I kept them as eggs so they'd have my Pearl as the OT and they'd obey me regardless. It is pretty nice to be able to pick whichever Pokemon you want from the start instead of being forced to get them as you go. The only downside is it's kind of nice to switch up your team every once in a while, or at least add to it, which you can't do like this. Still fun, though.

I never hacked for any, just because I hate hacking. It's completely unfair and cheats the game as well as the system. Although, I have traded for some hacks without knowing it at some points.

i dont hack anymore, but i used to use pokesav/AR to hack anything i wanted (IVs anything i want, EVs anything, moves anything etc.)(could make them look real as possible to the human eye but not to a computer program)

got caught on smogon by such a computer program then i started breeding my own, if some random person can catch you so could nintendo if you used the pokemon in a tournament.

hi miamisportsfan, remember me from smogon??

My friend hacked a Chansey with Seismic Toss before because neither one of us owned Pokemon Fire Red or leaf Green. I'm not going to spend money on every single game Nintendo makes just to get a slight advantage. If I have to resort to that, I'll spend my money where I get the best results.

I hacked to get a Wild Elekid in Emerald, and hacked the TM's to teach it Cross Chop and Ice Punch, then traded it over to Pearl and....it was a GREAT Electivire.

I hacked a few to avoid going to an event. I only did it on emerald b/c that's the only thing my gameshark was compatible for.

My friends would hack Mews in R/B/Y and clone glitch them for me. I wish I had known about the mew glitch back in the day. I started over my Red version just to see if it would work and that's a pretty sick glitch

I plan on hacking Ruby. A few reasons:

1 - None of my friends have pokemon games older than ruby. So all I have is a full pokedex, and I want a national.

2 - Deoxys.

3 - Jirachi, so I can fix the berry glitch. Yes, that's my only reason for wanting Jirachi.

4 - I want a level 100 Maganium like I had on silver version.

But all I plan on doing is encountering the baby forms of all of the pokemon, and catch them. Then I'll do the rest the hard way, especially the meganium. :ohwell:

5 - If I'm gonna catch Latios I am going to f*cking finish the 3rd gen pokedex. XD
