Incorrect codes on devices such as a [[Action Replay]] or [[GameShark]] can result in encountering [[glitch Pokémon]] and then the game freezing. In addition, a game may freeze if the player has used too many cheats on it, thus rendering the save file unplayable and the game permanently damaged. Game freezes are often accompanied by an odd buzzing sound; however, sometimes the normal music for wherever the player was before the game froze can be heard. Frequently, a loop or constant replay of whatever sound was being played prior to the freeze will be played.
