Today I went on the irc looking for help for Pokemon white and the entree. I had mentioned that I was playing on an emulator and was promptly banned and given the message "piracy is a big no no"
1. emulation≠piracy Everyone on this forum who knows about emulators should know this.
2. I live in a small town so no one I know has a copy of either Black or White.
3. I don't get out very often so I don't see the need to run my DS battery down and I prefer being on my computer.
4. I feel all forum and irc staff should assume, (at least if there is no mention of downloading a given rom during a conversation) that the person seeking help legally owns the game.
