To combat cheating, from [[FireRed and LeafGreen]] onwards, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Deoxys}} were given special programming that prevents them from obeying the player if they were obtained unlegitimately. However, this countermeasure fails if they were caught on [[Faraway Island]] or [[Birth Island]], respectively, even if the player used cheats to get there. | |||
Also, all [[Generation III]] games from FR/LG onwards use special programming called DMA (Dynamic Memory Allocation), which causes the data targeted by cheating devices to dynamically move around. However, cheaters got around this simply by using codes to disable the DMA. | |||
