>>38356113What form of cheating though? I was under the assumption that something along the lines of infinite rare candies are the specific form of cheating, but I can't tell.
In my recent playthrough I didn't bother messing with codes for shinies and whatnot until after the 7th gym. After that, I guess I was screwed, because I had no real warning besides the joke of the green haired dude who says he's going to inject a team in to fight the E4.
