>>32710673My first Pokémon game was Diamond when I was 10. August 7th, 2007.
I wasn't a faggot who skipped the story, but I did forget what I was supposed to do around the part of the the game with the lakes.
Long story short, I action replayed past the fatty to Sunnyshore City and beat the game before fighting Dialga. The permanent ramifications were that I couldn't walk to Sunnyshore without being kicked back and had to fly there, and I glitched the game to where Mesprit can never be triggered, so it's impossible to catch. My best friend at the time traded me his.
Also, I cheated the Nat Dex full and accidentally saved the game. The Manaphy egg from Ranger I had the always shiny code on, I forgot about it and saved with a hacked-shiny, legit Manaphy and felt like a dumbass.
I learned my lessons after that and by the time I got Pearl/Platinum (forget which I got first), I payed more attention and always take heavy precautions whenever I used cheats. I tend to not cheat at all anymore though because it kinda ruins it a lot of the time now.
