#MODIFY POKEMON RED SAVE FILE CODE#
The result is a glitchy mess, but each Pokemon game has the same save file when it’s done.Ĭombine this virus with arbitrary code execution, and you have something remarkable. Basically, given the ability to manually edit a save file, it is possible to replicate this save file over a Game Link cable. The basis for this hack comes from, who created a ‘virus’ of sorts for the first generation of Pokemon games. If this hack existed in 1998, kids would have lost their god damned minds. You can do it on a copy of Red or Blue on an original Game Boy. Don’t worry, you can just trade me all your good Pokemon. However, if you started a new game – thus losing all your progress and your entire roster of Pokemon – you could test this theory out. Due to the storyline of the game, you didn’t have the ability to get to this truck the first time you passed it. Legend said if you went to the SS Anne and used Strength to move a truck sprite that appeared nowhere else in the game, a Mew would appear. If someone on the playground had a Mew, they really only had a GameShark. You could not acquire a Mew except by taking your Game Boy to a special event (or to Toys R Us that one time). It was a psychic type, which was overpowered in the first gen. Mew, the 151st Pokemon, could learn every move in the game. In the first generation of Pokemon games, there is a spectacularly rare Pokemon. The payoff? This is an arbitrary-code-execution virus for Pokemon, and maybe the most amazing Game Boy hack of all time. Of course, most Hackaday readers were twelve at least once, but we’re just going to do this anyway. Before we dig into this, I need to spend a paragraph or two conveying the knowledge of a twelve-year-old in 1996.
