All the time
My next BulbaFriends will be tough without it - promised myself not to use it
It's my first instict - get my team to 5 Heart Amie before continuing journey
Amie is too much fun, love the Pokemon reactions (happy, sad, mad, annoyed)
My YouTube channel full of them (I need to do more)

v - will now play with their favorite Pokemon in Amie

Amie? That silly little cuteness thing they put in gen 6? Eh, I don't think I've used it for a while, I must admit. I was going to use it for both pokeruns but... Amie is cheating.

V doesn't cheat at pokemon.

If they put it in the game as a means of befriending Pokemon, it's not cheating. By your logic, HP, Trainer Battles and catching wild Pokemon are also cheating.
In any case, glitches yes. Cheating...not on my actual cartridges or on Showdown!

V can't fall asleep at night.

Sometimes can, sometimes can't.

Trainer battles cause the pokemon to have the ability Sturdy even if they can't have Sturdy? Trainer battles cause the pokemon to shake off status conditions just because they "love" you? Train battles cause a pokemon to earn boosted XP without the drawback of the traded system?

V wants to chase shiny objects.

Nah, too busy to chase shiny objects right now.

My point is that Amie has become a game mechanic, just like Trainer Battles. It is a legitimate way of getting some extra benefits, should you be willing to invest the time, as opposed to using something like an AR to hack Sturdy or Shed Skin or Lucky Egg onto your Pokemon.
Super Training is a similar concept, but is basically rendered ridiculous by horde encounters.

V doesn't EV train their Pokemon

I don't.... Probably one of the many reasons why I don't belong in competitive battling.

My point is that XY, and ORAS are FAR too easy... especially with the new Exp Share (Which a lot of people do turn off)... Amie makes the easiest games on the 3DS and even the easiest games in the franchise even easier.

V is pretty busy but always makes time to chase shiny objects.

No, but my brother does.

HP, there's a big difference between a game being easy and cheating. Besides, you don't have to use the Exp. Share or Amie.

V is too tired to think of something creative...

V Is feeling lazy.

Quite.

ME. Amie is still cheating as it makes the game unbearably easy. I refuse to use it.

Don't get me wrong. It's cute. But it's wrong for me to use it.

V wants to throw things at people.

*throws a rule book at ^*

Just because you find that it makes the game laughably easy, doesn't make it cheating. Nobody is forcing you to use Amie, and you can't tell other people not to use it since it is a legitimate part of the game. I'm not saying it's a good or bad feature, but it is a feature. By definition, a feature is not cheating, since it is meant to be accessible and usable, as opposed to something like a female Gallade or an illegal moveset or ability.

V agrees.

I do. Amie is alright and thise games are hard. Also who cares about the game it's all about competitive battling. Also xy is kind of hard to nuzzlock I got like 5 bird pokemon and lost most in the ice gym battle.

V agrees with my statement

Sort of agree
first off, no idea what 'Nuzlock' is
Amie doesn't do anything on competitive battling
(I use Amie for in game and for my YouTube channel)
Competitive Battling for me is for fun, it's not only " all about competitive battling"


v - will have fun winning, or my case (more than likely) loosing online Pokemon battles

I've only recently gotten into it. I need more battle practice, but in order to do that, I'd need some free time, which I do not have a lot of right now.

V has too much free time on their hands.
