Pokemon Red Cheats
There are a number of cheats that can be used in Pokemon Red, these involve either entering codes using a gameshark device connected to your GameBoy, or if you are using an emulator, entering codes that you find in the cheat menu of your emulator. While the game is loads of fun without cheats, and we always encourage players to try to see waht they can get out of the game without cheats, using cheats to skip grinds or to add some enhancements is a great way to prolong the life of a game and squeeze some more enjoyment out of it.
You'll find on SuperCheats master ball cheats where you can get a load of master balls making it easy for you to catch any Pokemon in the game. There is also an Item Modifier cheat, so you can select which items appear to purchase in the Poke Mart. With this Wild Pokemon Modifier cheat you can select which Pokemon you want to meet in the wild, and if used at the same time as this Level Modifier you can set at what level the Pokemon you meet will be.
There are loads more codes besides the ones we mentioned, either on this page below, or over on our Pokemon Red GameShark Cheats page.

How to get to Glitch City
SAVE WARNING - Once inside Glitch City, DO NOT save your game. If you save your game within Glitch City, the save file will become corrupted and you will not be able to load it properly, forcing you to abandon your playthrough and start a new game. As utilizing this glitch involves Flying to Cinnibar Island, an area only explored during the latter half of the game, it means you'll probably have played for numerous hours that you don't want to lose, so use caution with this glitch. _______ Follow these steps for the only known way to access Glitch City, a 'city' comprised entirely of 'glitched' pixels: 1. Enter the Safari Zone in Fuschia City. Pay $500 to play the Safari Game. Once inside, exit. The clerk will ask if you're "Leaving alreadY?". An..
Get all 150 Pokemon as you progress the game
Ok maybe not ALL 150 (I got at least 140) but this cheat can make you encounter Pokemon from the other game (Like Magmar from Pokemon Blue on Pokemon Red!) So just do the simple Mew Glitch on another trainer besides the youngster and the swimmer and you can get other great Pokemon like: Chansey Golem Gengar Nidoqueen Nidoking Hitmonchan Hitmonlee Magmar Electabuzz Scyther Pinsir Kadabra Rhyhorn Omanyte Arcanine Blastoise And since they will be level 7 they will be easy to catch (level 7 Chansey can even be caught with a simple Pokeball!) But beware: Missingno. Can be encountered as well! The second part is getting Tauros and Kangaskhan: Go to safari zone and go to the are..

First, start off with CHARMANDER, then level up only CHARMANDER until you get to PEWTER CITY (Level 16 - 20) should be enough!) you can evolve him (level16) if you want, but I managed to beat BROCK with him as CHARMANDER even though he should of evolved into CHARMELEON. Get some POTIONS (about 4 or 5), then take on the other trainer inside the Gym, after you've done that, heal it at the POKEMON CENTER (don't use your POTIONS just yet, you'll need them when you take on BROCK. Then SAVE before you begin the battle, then if it goes wrong you can resume where you were and battle him again. He will first let out his Level 12 GEODUDE, use CHARMANDERS EMBER attack until it faints, use your POTIONS if CHARMANDERS health is too low after battling GEODUDE. Next BROCK will l..

Example: If your name is "ABCDEFG", there comes L129 Golbat, L131 Snorlax and L133 Missingno. Note: If in your name is not 7 letters, the last letters are "empty". Letter: level: Pokémon Empty: 0/80 'M Space: 127 Missingno. A: 128 Golduck B: 129 Hypno C: 130 Golbat D: 131 Mewtwo E: 132 Snorlax F: 133 Magikarp G: 134 Missingno. H: 135 Missingno.

Get onto Cycling Road without a Bicycle!
Okay, so you may have deposited your Bike in your PC or never even bothered to get one, and you really can't be bothered to pick it up so you can get on Cycling Road. There's a simple solution. When you enter either of the guardhouses that separate Cycling Road from Celadon/Fuschia City, walk so that you that the counter is right next to you. When the guard stops you and says that you need a Bicycle, keep on pressing Left on the D-Pad and after he's finished speaking you will walk past him anyway. A very convenient and useful glitch!
