Wait... There Are Cheat Codes To Avoid All The Hassle?

Again, the answer is yes. For every single Pokemon Game, you can actually use a cheating device and thus enter cheat codes to obtain all the known the Pokemon. These devices are known as Gamesharks and Action Replays, and they can be bought usually online for not an outrageous price. Gameshark Codes can be used on the first and second generation Games, while Action Replay Codes can be used on the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth generation games.

The process of entering Gameshark Codes and Action Replay Codes is actually a relatively simple and easy process. If you have a physical copy of your early generation Games and the early handheld systems they were played on, you can easily hook up the Gameshark Device and begin entering codes. Most Gameshark, and even Action Replay, Codes first require a Master Code, so keep that in mind before entering other codes. Also make sure the codes are actual working codes, as a bad code can serious damage the saved file on your games. If you are playing an online version of a game, on either a Visual Boy Adavance or My Boy Emulator, there should be a place or tab to access entering codes and the process is the exact same when physically entering Gameshark Codes on a copy of the game.

Action Replays work in almost the exact same way as the Gameshark does, except it's for the newer Pokemon Games. Most codes also require first entering a Master Code, and bad, non-working codes can disrupt saved game files. Everything else about the process is basically a carbon copy of the the way Gameshark is used, on phsycial game copies and virtual ones too.
