Discuss.
All it supposedly does is make the game think you are taking 500 steps per step or something like that.
I don't personally do it, but do you consider it to be cheating?

I'd actually like to know if this impacts the coding of the Pokémon involved.
Personally, I don't own a cheating device, so this isn't an option for me.
It's a personal thing. I think it's cheating you out of the real experience if you partake in it, personally- it turns breeding from a labor of love into an impersonal assembly line.
I like to think that I've worked for the nearly perfect Pokémon I choose to keep and raise.

I say that anything that breaks the game code is cheating. And fast hatching is well, kinda cheating. But I don't fast hatch. I wait for 5 eggs to appear, take about 500 steps, and repeat.

I like to think that I've worked for the nearly perfect Pokémon I choose to keep and raise. The only thing I use my action replay for is IV checking. I feel the same way. I just hatched my swinub the legit way and I do feel like I accomplished something. Tell me, do you go for exactly perfect 31 IVs?

31s across the board? No way. That's borderline impossible, unless you're extremely lucky.
...Granted, I used to do that. Try spending 40 hours breeding a single species, only to have your entire program torn apart when a jerk steals your DS. The closest I've gotten was four 31s; I haven't gotten that lucky for a while now.
---
I prioritize the stats I need, and breed accordingly.
For instance:
If I was going for an Espeon, I would breed Eevees until I got several Timid ones with 31s in their priority stats: Speed and Sp. Atk. Gather them together, as some should have three 31s by the time I breed for Natures, and continue inbreeding until I get the one I need. I also search for a 0- or close to it- in Atk.
...Why's that?
In my Special attackers and Special tanks, I aim to minimize the damage I take from Confusion recoil.
I generally aim for three 31s and at least 20s in other stats.

Kyrenx I don't mean to sound like an a-hole, but five stats still isn't all six. I'm sure you can testify how difficult it was to even obtain that, needless to tack another 31 IV onto that Pokemon. In either case, legitly obtained Pokemon with 31 IVs in all six stats are as rare as UFO sightings. If it wasn't, then there wouldn't be any use for AR or hacking Pokemon in general, since most who do such things usually defend thier reasoning with "lack of time" and/or laziness.
If someone came forward claiming that they naturally bred a Pokémon with 31s across the board, I would be more than a little skeptical. The imperfections are what make a competitive Pokémon plausible. 3nodding

The most I have gotten (legally) was four 31 IVs on my Swinub. :s I can't imagine how time consuming/lucky it'd have to be to get straight 31s unless you RNG.

Having a Pokemon with anything more than four 31 IVs is showing off anyways. 2 or 3 are about the standard. xd

It's somewhat cheating since others work real hard to hatch it their own way......

Personally, I don't see what's so wrong about using a quick egg hatch cheat to hatch an egg faster. If it alters a pokemon's code [post egg hatch] then I can see the issue. But as for the simple purpose of the cheat itself, big deal. "Taking the work out of it" doesn't resonate well when it is not difficult at all to ride back and forth between routes repeatedly to hatch eggs. To me the real work is the part where you know, you actually breed the IVs correctly, the natures, the egg moves, etc. But if riding a bike up and down a lot gives you pride and accomplishment then hey, more power to you. I just disagree that this particular step in the process is "hard work".
