:::And that's a neutral stance on things how?  It'd be like someone saying a page for Scientology shouldn't be on Wikipedia because they think it's 'morally wrong'.  Regardless of peoples view on it, the information should still be posted from a neutral stance.  Besides, lets not forget about people who use codes to play the game a second time with a different experience, ie. having a different starting pokemon, or people who use codes to explore the games programming and such.  --[[User:Malorie|Malorie]] 19:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

:::::Yes, I want the codes to be listed on Bulbapedia, if that's what you mean.  Isn't Bulbapedia designed to be a resource for all things Pokemon?  Deleting pages of information, despite how factual and accurate it is, seems somewhat silly to me.  If nothing else, I think at the very least, external links to such codes should exist.  Blocking out an entire aspect of Pokemon because some users frown upon it (and, conversely, some people approve and encourage it), seems to defeat the point of having a wiki in the first place. --[[User:Malorie|Malorie]] 20:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)\

::::::You're not getting it, are you.. cheating is frowned upon here. We are not Wikipedia. We don't have anything on cheating because we don't allow it, hence why pages on GameShark codes and the like are deleted, mainly because they are a bunch of of 'unencyclopedic' bullsh*t. If you want cheating codes, go somewhere else. {{User:TinaTheKirlia/Sig}} 20:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
