>modding encounter rates and stats Hell yeah. Never did it for the sake of getting a Mon though or using these things outside of the game, I mostly just enjoyed messing about with tiles, encounter rates and Mon parameters in things like Advance Map and YAPE
>hacked mons Fuck yes
>quick saves/quick loads Is the Pope Catholic?
>using any outside unofficial hardware for a desired effect C'mon guy, what was life without using the Action Replay/Gameshark/Device of Choice to discover shit like Faraway Island or the fun codes on the DS that let you change camera angles or Character Sprites?
The issue isn't cheating, it's it's you're making those altered parameters affect others that you're being an ass.
If you want to use a Huge Power Slaking on cart knock yourself out, but taking it online like madmen in XY did before GF realised they could make and enforce rules and regulations for online play is where you become a dickhead.
As far as VGC is concerned you're playing for prestige. If you want me to consider you a world champion, the least you could do is actually play the game you're champion of, no matter how asinine.
