(I've NEVER heard of it doing that. Action Replay's abilies are only limited to what is written in the game. Breeding legends is not one of them.)

While the [[GameShark]] was the most widely used cheating device in the late 90s, it was actually an Action Replay under a different name. However, Interact, the company whom distributed GameSharks, went bankrupt. After that, {{wp|Mad Catz}} bought the name GameShark, and Action Replays were then sold to the public by their original name.

==Use and function==
Cheating devices such as the Action Replay are primarily used to enable, disable, or modify sections of a particular game's scripting code. By intercepting game code transmission between the game's software and the system 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 unobtainable items or mass quantities of items, and modifying Pokémon stats.

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.  


Although Action Replay can be helpful, it is also known to freeze the game occasionally and to cause minor problems. This is one of the main reasons why many players are opposed to them. Although codes that simply allow users to change levels, stats, and moves tended to be harmless, others like Walk Through Walls or codes enabling an instant full party of [[Legendary Pokémon]] can result in minor game glitches that may last forever, or maybe that would render the game unusable until the file is deleted.
