>>35057464You are using outside sources to get a pokemon.
If I use a trainer in any other game to unlock all the weapons and max out my level. Or buy gold in an online game. Is it cheating since I'm still within the games limits?
Yes.
Nobody cares if you cheat. If you want to inject a bunch of pokemon or gameshark or get a friend to do it for you. I don't care.
I have a perfect IV japanese ditto, I don't give a shit.
But when you try to play it off as not cheating, then it becomes shitty. It is cheating.
