Oh yeah guys, again, I wasn't saying that changing the date was "bad", and thank you megamewtwo for pointing out that it isn't necessary either. Cards of the Heart had just posted a few definitions, and it looked to me like changing the date fit most of those definitions (again, not that I think it's bad or anything).
Pokemon from the future, that's so great! XD
And trust me, with as many people using PRNGd pokes at the qualifyers and worlds if they didn't like pokes with future dates they would have DQd most of the qualifyers. Plus the guy I talked to who was checking my cart didn't mention them checking for that specifically.
The point I was trying to make though is that changing the date is deceitfully altering the game data which sounds a lot to me like what AR does. Now, how much alteration is "cheating", 5% by changing the date,or 95% by using an AR? I'd say both. Again, not that I think RNG is bad.
And thanks again for all the clarifications.
Oh, and BTW, they have a bit on acid rain in the "sticky" DP research thread I think.
