Action replay for Pokemon and Animal Crossing

I wouldn't use it much but like if I have a path and a villager decided I'm moving right here, and I normally have no room to change the direction of the path to go around, I would use one, just not for stuff like bell spawning or House upgrades or anything game dulling like that, and I disagree on using it for games like Ocarina of Time 3D, like yeah one time I got through a boss and got the medallion thing and saved, quit, next day I had to re do the boss, but I wouldn't AR that..

I actually broke a game while doing it but now it least I know it breaks the game

Sometimes it can make stuff more fun and interesting but you do have to be careful.

have you heard of action replay powersaves for the 3ds

The Action Replay cartridge is really delicate, so don't expect to use it a lot.

I can agree, but sometimes gameshark or AR codes create a fun experience, depending on the game. Platformers such as metroid or Mega Man, RPG's or anyone sort of open world games. It's interesting to see what stuff is STILL in the game data even though you can't see it.

Some games have Dev rooms still hidden inside, I think Chrono Trigger is one of them. I know Zelda Ocarina of Time has many many secret rooms, new ones still being found to this day. I'm also positive there's a bunch of hidden things in games like Super Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, and so on. AR codes aren't all bad, depends on how you use them. Cheating with them just to cheat is pretty lame though

so I would use it to help me with pokemon

My friend has Action Replay for the Gamecube (or something similar to it). Every time I go to his house, we just use it for Super Smash Bros. Melee in order to be able to pick from a variety of characters. Going back to what you were saying though, game cheats in general are kill joys, not just the ones found in action replay.
