In Ruby and Sapphire I spent quite literally 2+ years....

My first time in FR/LG, I got a shiny Charmander with Adamant nature.

One thing i never understood.

Using and AR to get a shiny legendary is cheating (i agree), but resetting the game to REPLAY AN EXPERIENCE INTENDED TO BE PLAYED ONLY ONCE to get a shiny is legit.

IMO, they are both cheating

The "save" feature exists so that you don't have to play through the game without resetting. If it can be done with only your DS and your game cartridge, it's not cheating in my book.

So twitching so that you can walk through walls isnt cheating?

Using the previous D/P elite 4 door surf black hole glitch is not cheating?

Don't think that counts.

It always counts.

I've found a bunch of legit shinies, but I've probably put more time into Pokemon games than I have into MapleStory.
