Cheaters

    Pico has already done the best that they could to ban who use cheat engines.  Most people don't see the harm in using a cheat engine, because they attract attention.  However, cheat engines get annoying, and they actually do do more harm than you may think.
    First of all, using a cheat is unfair.  That person gets advantages that a normal Pico player would not have.  For example, the Gummie, Casino, and Token cheats can give you a great amount of Gummies/Casino dollars/ and tokens.  You may think, "Why would it be bad that I have all these Gummies/Casino dollars/tokens?  I can buy a lot of things now."  Of course it'd be great to buy all the things you want/need, but it's unfair to others.  People take their time to earn everything, while all you have to do is download a cheat, set up some things, and then you get an unlimited amount of Gummies/Casino dollars/tokens.
    Second, cheats are distracting.  People who use the cheats to grow or shrink are creating a lot of attention.  Every time somebody grows into a giant, or shrinks to the size of an ant, every Pico in the room begins asking how you did that.  Doesn't that get annoying to others who already know the trick, and to yourself?  Also, I don't think other Pico players enjoy seeing a giant Pico face in their screen, or a tiny ant running all over the place.  Then there is the "Made in Heaven!" cheat where a person can change the day.  If you're at a park, or in a room with the sky wall, a person using the cheat can change the time of the day (there is morning, evening, and night).  Some people use it repeatedly to the point where it looks the sky is flashing and it feels like a strobe light.  There's the cheat to go completely naked, which is a tad disturbing.  I don't think we enjoy seeing a completely nude Pico.  We're given clothes for a reason.  Another distracting cheat is the gender hack.  If you already made up your mind on one gender to begin your Pico with, why not stick to it?  I know you might be curious as to what the Shop has to offer for a different gender, but it can get quite confusing when you see a Pico with a mustache wearing a dress...
    Third, a cheat is a cheat!  We all know that we're not supposed to cheat on a test, or cheat during our relationships.  It's the same thing with Pico!  Using a cheat is against what the creators of Ameba Pico has created.  What we have and do, were all intentions of what the Ameba Pico creators had in mind.  If you suddenly use a cheat, I don't think the Creators would be happy, because they would feel like you didn't appreciate what they gave you, so you had to find a new way to entertain yourself.
    Some common and rare cheats are adding different colors to your speech bubble, changing the font of your dialogue, the ability to spam, changing the language area of your profile to whatever you want it to say, making your name blank, being able to use ice skating actions outside of the ice skating rink, being able to "wobble" like you were swimming when you're not in the ocean, etc.  There probably are so many more cheats that I can't even name or haven't even seen, but if you see anything peculiar, report it to Pico!  These cheats are against Pico rules, and by using cheats, you are making the game unfair to others, and you can ruin the game.  Pico was created the way it was for a reason, so don't go and change it.
