Input sequences designed to alter the gameplay of the Pokmon Gold and Silver video games on the Game Boy Color. These sequences, when entered into a device connected to the console, could modify various aspects of the game, such as character attributes, item acquisition, and encounter rates with different Pokmon. For instance, an individual could use such a sequence to obtain a rare item early in the game or to manipulate the Pokmon they encountered in the wild.
These codes offered players an opportunity to experience the game in unconventional ways, bypassing limitations intended by the developers. While providing access to elements that would normally require significant time investment, they also allowed exploration of undocumented game glitches or functionality. Historically, the use of such alteration devices was a popular method for players to experiment and discover new facets of gameplay during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
