Except for SCV this thread didn't seem to be going in the right direction. It seemed like it was filled with other experiences of cheating. The one with the cartridge in ketchup was pretty funny LOL about the licking. Anyway, I used to be a cheat addict no matter what people told me about ARs screwing up your game or something like that I cheated anyway. What stopped me was a bad egg.
I cheated to get a level 100 torterra with pokerus, and the ability wonderguard. The cheat wasn't confirmed but I entered it anyway. Well much to my dismay I got a bad egg. However, back then I had no idea what it was. I did a bunch of google research and found out what it was so I realized that the torterra I wanted was not going to happen. I quickly shoved all the eggs in the PC, since I foolishly made duplicates of the eggs without knowing of their evil, and then just left them their never touching them again. On the plus side they gave my empoleon pokerus which I spread crazily.
What I would do is enter in a cheat and think for a moment of the consequences. Then if that doesn't work, tell a friend "I need to stop cheating take my --insert cheating device here-- and keep it from me forever, or give it to someone you'll never speak to again and say "Merry christmas!" Then run away. My action replay, I still have it, but plan to never use it again. I hoped this help.
