This thread is just for discussions about hacking in Pokémon series. In case you have hacked explain

1. how
2. why you hacked.

Just for beginning, I´ll admit it: I have.

1. Action Replay
2. Arceus (obvious, isn´t it?)

But now I find hacking too risky. You´ll never know what can happen...

1. AR Max.

2. I'd like to see you finding events in the middle of the Balkan, and no way in hell am I gonna buy a colloseum for a Jirachi.

Only once with on my Diamond with action replay I wanted to get through the game quickly so I used the rare candy cheat and raised my pokemon to 100.

It doesn't matter now because at the time I didn't have Wi-Fi and I also eventually deleted the file.

I've used Action Replay a few times. Mainly for cloning, or making Pokémon (nothing I would use in battle).

I've hacked with GameShark codes on ROMs, but never on the actual games. Just don't like the idea.

I used an Action Replay for a little to get Pokemon (not legendaires) that I couldn't normally. I would never use them in battle though, I just needed them to breed with!

Yes, I did a loooong time ago. In my diamond I used an AR to get arceus, found where shaymin and Darkrai were (using walk through everything), got lots of money and all TMs and more. I was so bad . After my friends game got every single glitch and bad egg possible after a certain code, I got scared so much that I released all of the cheat pokemon, wasted all of my money, got rid of ALL of the TMs and . I haven't used action replay for about 3-4 years, but I still have it but I will never use it again.

I would always hack my roms using gameshark. But I never really did anything on my real games unless it was a glitch like missingno. I like to mess around with my games. I don't know though...

This forum.

has been hacked.

Well we (Cat and me) hacked it off forumer.com because it started there then he wanted to move it.

I have hacked before, and will never do it again. It was to get a freakin' Feebas... in which I felt I needed to add all the berries and TMs to that... Needless to say, I can't access my TMs in my Sapphire anymore...

I hacked for cloning

To clone my Pokemon, duh

I used AR on my Diamond to get event legendaries. I've since thrown it away.

I've also tried to emulate YouTuber Pikalax1 by using an emulator to mess around with Blue's memory addresses in real-time (while the game is running).

For anyone interested, here is one of Pikalax's videos that is a great example of what happens if you do it the "right" way.

I have not personally hacked but i know a few others who have.
Usually their reason is they want a Pokemon from an event that's long been over.

I think if you missed the event you should at least have some dignity and simply go on without the Pokemon rather than do possible harm to your game.

I've hacked a ROM before. Like actual hacking, not cheats. I was trying to make a new game. I have one word about it. FAIL.

I hacked and used cheats on emulators, but not on a real cartridge. My friend kept wanting to use it cause he wanted deoxsys real bad. I told him not to, to never give up. He stopped playing it, but at least he didn't cheat. I hope. He nowadays says Spectrobes is better. Then I flipped him off, ahah. Not really.

As for hacks, I had fun playing on a computer without internet and doing hacks in ruby and leafgreen. I loved playing it on a computer that I played through several games on emus, abusing save states through the way, which includes gold, ruby, leafgreen, and Zelda: Minish Cap. Some others I forgot.

1.) How

Action Replay of course. I don't want to take apart the whole cart. I don't have time for that XD

2.)Why you hacked

Well I don't hack to get an advantage in the game. I only hack for fun on my Pearl Version. (I have all 3 so Pearl is my "stunt game") I usually just use Walk Through Walls or a sprite modifier. Pretty much anything. If I hack on Platinum it's only for the Wild Modifier and I chain Giratinas then shut the game off XD

I've been hacking for 3 years and still strong!
What I used or how: *******, Gameshark, and DSi AR Max
For what: Pokemon EV'd and other things. I never used cloning. I also have modifier.

Never actually hacked a game as i have no idea how to do it but i do own an acekard 2i, which i must say is the best thing i have ever brought! especially for pokemon, makes games more enjoyable and with the amount of money i have spent on video gaming i deserve a free break. With pokemon i would never glitch the pokemon or anything like that but i do add the item cheat on so i have rare candies on, makes EV training easier.

I don't like hacking, so I never hacked.

I always believed that hacking is unfair, so I never tried it before.

I hacked when I was smaller. 2 years ago I used Action Replay. I've hacked ROMs to. Just for curiosity.

I only used hacking to get previously unreleased events and for tournaments where everyone (well almost) has lv 100s. I just needed to level up a bit (well, more than that...)

In middle school, I hacked my Gold a few times, just because the entire idea was "new" to me at the time, and had some fun with the game. Then I believe I hacked Pokemon Ruby before I finally grew tired of the idea. I believe I used a Gameshark for Gold, and an Action Replay for Ruby.

I hacked a lot on ruby and sapphire, but not anymore. And all items/pokemon I transferred over are legitimate.

1.Yes.2. Tried to get Zoroark using a sprite replacement of Darkrai. Failed. Sprite was too big. resized it, still didn't work.:/

I wanted to try ******* for fun, but I don't own an AR...

I've never hacked any game I've ever owned. Anything I've ever acheived in anything has been my own legitamate effort.

I remember in...I believe it was silver? I tried hacking my friend's Smoochum for her because she *really* wanted one of my pokemon (don't remember which it is anymore) and the only thing I wanted was her Smoochum, which she didn't want to trade. Someone at my pool had demonstrated how to copy pokemon to me, so I decided to try it.

Usually when you put the pokemon in a box or in your party, then turn off in the middle of saving and you fail, it ends up in either your box or your party. What you are trying to do is cut it off right in the center while it's being transferred and it exists in both.

...somehow, it disappeared. Just disappeared. It was nowhere to be found. It was like it had died. My friend almost killed me.

This was a one time thing, so I had never planned to do it again, but the bad outcome just reinforced the fact I wasn't planning on trying again, and I haven't done it since.

I *tried* make a hack a few months ago.Failed horribly.

I have hacked the 3rd gen games with an Action Replay.

I have two.

1. ARDS
2. Because my sister bought one.

1. AR Pro/XTreme/Online/Whatever it actually is (cartridge says XTreme, instruction book says Pro, menus say Online)
2. To mess around with my sister's dead-save-battery Pokémon Gold.

with *******
I wanted to get pokemon i could never get but afer the game kept crashing i deleted the game file and now everything works perfect I never hacked after that!

I DO HACK WITH AR AND *******. I AM A LAZY ***. I DONT WANT TO SPEND 1 MONTH MAKING MY POKEMON ALL PERFECT

ALSO I HACK POKEMON FOR MY FRIENDS TO USE SO I DONT GET ALL THE HACKING COMPLAINTS! Er, I mean, glory?

does cloning pokemon with a r4 card count as hacking

I used to be really good at hacking roms, but I don't do it anymore. *don't underestimate me*

I hacked a ruby rom so you could and made a thing called "getaround cavern". Then I connected it to all cities and pokemon league. And I made sure you saw wild Porygon and Eevee.

I'm trying to make a hack of Ruby right now with several fake Pokemon that look pretty cool, I'm still praticing on drawing them though, but I am starting with the starters and their evolutions, being a grass fox, a fire werewolf, and a water..... well, I was going to make it an otter, but then Nintendo made Mijumaru, so I am having a tough time deciding what the water starter should be.....

I sort of hacked.My friend's ds broke and he got a dsi, but he wanted a shiny charizard so bad that he asked me to do it for him. On my ds.

I've hacked Mario Kart Wii.
It's hilariously fun to mess with the computers with infinite star power and stuff

Pokemon?
No, I haven't.

I did along time ago.

Pfft modifying RAM data is not hacking, hacking is modifing the actual ripped ROM binary.

1. Hex Editor, Tile Layer Pro, a modified Gold Map for Pokemon Red and Blue.
2. I wanted to make my own Pokemon Game.

1.AR
2.platinum(to have a shiny 100lvl lucario lol i love lucarios)
