Migration Problem

Hi, I'm a bit new, but have been following this site for some good tips on researching my Platinum game.

I have Sapphire, and wanted to migrate alot of Poke'mon to my Platinum, but have run into a large issue. I once used an ActionReplay to hack Latios, Jirachi and Deoxys on my Sapphire a few years ago, and to get unlimited berries (I was really young and stupid). This caused my game to do some funny things when scrolled to the berry page of the items, but otherwise it seemed fine. I recently tried to migrate a few simple Poke'mon for just 'Dex purposes, but during the transfer, it would stop and say some kind of error occurred, and I would reset the DS to a message saying my game was corrupt (!!!). This happened for both the games the two times I tried it, but luckily they both said they would revert to a previous save (LUCKY!!!). Apparently the AR screwed my ability to migrate Poke'mon...

My question is, why? I wasn't trying to transfer the hacked Poke'mon at all. Also, is there any way I could fix it? I doubt 'disabling' the cheats would really do anything. I'm scared if I will be able to trade them to another game (like a friend's) and migrate from that, or if it will corrupt that game as well. I've not been able to find much online but to restart the game (and lose a pretty-well completed 'Dex I think not!). Hope someone here can maybe shed some light, mostly on whether it would be safe to trade them to another game and migrate from there without any problems, before I go corrupting someone else's game or wasting $30 on another game.

P.S. You can give a detailed explanation if there is, I'm extremely computer-literate.
 
Using AR doesn't automatically corrupt a game. My friend used my brother's AR to get some shiny mews simply because she likes them, not really for game purposes. She has migrated plenty from her Emerald, including plenty of those mews that she hands out to people for bidoofs because shiny mew is cute. So even hacked pokemon can go into the games fine.

It could be a certain code but I've used the same codes you've mentioned and managed to migrate all my non-hacked pokemon from Ruby with no issue before I restarted it cheat-free.
