Cheating devices such as the Action Replay are primarily used to enable, disable, or modify sections of a particular game's code. By intercepting game code transmission between the game's software and the system's hardware, Action Replay devices can change the gaming experience. The use of cheating devices to modify Pokémon games has been a popular practice since the games' release in the mid-nineties. Popular applications of the device include capturing unobtainable Pokémon, acquiring normally unobtainable items or mass quantities of items, and modifying Pokémon stats. | Cheating devices such as the Action Replay are primarily used to enable, disable, or modify sections of a particular game's code.

If one uses too many codes at once, the probability of freezing rises. If one encounters freezing, it is recommended to disable recently-added codes before starting the game up again. Having less codes enabled decreases the likelihood of "paradoxes" created in the coding, thus decreasing chances of freezing. When the user turns the game back on, the trigger which prepares the execution of the code may not cause the game to freeze, and if sucessful, the user will be able to resume play. If the user has used an Action Replay and wishes to play their game without the use of codes or to fix problems and glitches caused by the codes, they can restart their game file. | If one uses too many codes at once, the probability of freezing rises.
