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. | While the [[GameShark]] was the most widely used cheating device in the late 90s, it was actually an Action Replay under a different name.

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. | Cheating devices such as the Action Replay are primarily used to enable, disable, or modify sections of a particular game's scripting code.
