      Japan has a wildly different viewpoint on modification, free use, and emulation than the US.
      The culture has gray areas of morality about a lot of things, but getting caught and intentionally doing something as immoral as cheating is one of the worst things you can do and actually can haunt you for the rest of your life and affect your career and social standing

    I loved my Action Replay man, so many memories. I unlocked all the events, plus I loved to use the walk through walls cheat just to peek "behind the curtain". You could catch Darkrai and Shaymin without unlocking the event with walk through walls. Not really much of a point in doing so though since you could just unlock the event with the Action Replay. I even unlocked the Arceus event which was never even released in the US. The entire event works in full on the base game. Nintendo just decided Americans are too stupid to take the Azure Flute to the top of Mount Coronet. Such a cool event though, plus the Arceus battle music man, unforgettable.

      Yeah i had given my cartridge to my friend and he added arceus level 5 and other legendary mons along with 999 masterballs. He seemed to have also accidentally unlocked the azure flute where i managed to get the legit arceus and then i transferred that to soul silver which gave me that lvl 1 dialga or palkia and i think that was pretty much it before i got burnt out playing pokemon.

      I know there is a market for gil out there, but I personally don't understand why. It's a very attainable currency (practically sneezing in the game gets you gil) and the other currencies are locked behind tomes and quest givers. WoW made more sense with gold farms. Gold has more value than gil because their currency is three tier (copper, silver, gold). The biggest gil sink is housing and even that is determined by lottery. What do people really need a crap load of gil for?

      wish I knew about those when I was a kid, since from what understand for the GBA games (i.e. gen 1-3) those events to get those special items were a japan only thing, so there would've been no other way to obtain them.

    I've seen people sell Pokémon since the DS/3DS era. The Pokémon Company is just bitter that other people are putting Pokémon behind paywalls. No seriously, Pokémon are becoming increasingly paywalled. Pokémon like Kleavor and Ursaluna existed as usable assets in Scarlet/Violet at launch, but you couldn't actually CREATE them through their evolution methods in SV. You HAVE to own Legends Arceus. OR you buy the DLC for SV so you can catch them in the wild in the areas that open up. Totally not scummy at all!

I once sat beside a mine node and waited, and before I could even click on it infront of me, a freakin bird druid flies down and starts mining it so quickly that the pickaxe sound and animation was being done in its bird form before it turned into an elf, and then it'd promptly turn back into a bird and fly off to the next mine.

      I mean that is why Pokemon has been cracking down more and more. However, even TPC/TPCi messes up thoer hack checks in wjich they get false positives caught in their system. Kurt, the creator of PKHex, has stated that TPCi's heck check system is iadequate not only becaus eot tends to fail to detect most illegitimate Pokemom, but also returns cases of false positives. there was a recent DQ of a Pokemon (not the player) over a traded egg (which is possible to do) in which there are twp people, one with a longer name than the other. When the egg is traded from the long name to the shorter named player, it creates trash bytes since the egg originated from the long name trainer. This caused a false positive flag and a player was effectively punished because of this oversight by Gamefreak and TPCi.
      So because of the inconsistency of the hack checks judges have to give the benefit of the doubt for 99.9% of suspicious cases unless it is patently obvious the Pokemon is hacked.

    If you do that just don't play the game, as even online in most competitions they're banned, official or not, and all you do is buy them just to stare at this in your box, have "fun" in your adventure (which Pokémon games lack already, so gl with a lvl 100 shiny legendary) or collection, which is stuck on this piece of hardware and this save file.
    If you mod a Pokémon (the creature itself, not the games), at least keep it for yourself or your friends, not online.

I found out later that if you used a cheating device to roll back your save to before you got hit with the ban, it would undo the ban.
