i took a bunch of screenshots of using a cheat i knew wouldnt work, but I wanted to see exactly what it would do. the cheat's description was:
Anthrax: 6FBFD8CF How to get him: Walk around a field and you'll find it. Capture it and it will be a Rhydon. Then after it updates the Pokédex don't nickname it. Then go and capture it again this time it will not mention the Pokédex, nickname it Anthrax and go pick it up at the Pokémon Center.
Anthrax was a rumored "PokeGod" and seeing many of these cheats, i tried a few out. I tried one that did absolutely nothing, but then again i didnt rly try to do anything. then i tried this one and heres the screenshots that i took.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DJC4ZRJWits a zip folder to the several screenshots that i took. from memory, everything that happened went something like this
I saved the game, saved state, and then entered the cheat in that order so I would be able to go back in case something horrible went wrong. I went out into some grass and followed the instructions. what appeared was a short pink rectangle of pixels that played the sound when a pokemon uses sing as its cry. the name was jumbled by letters and boxes and whatnot. I sent out some random pokemon and threw a masterball (one of my many thx to cheats) and caught the pokemon. it showed its pokedex data (or not. there was no sprite for the pokemon, no description where it would normally be, and random boxes for the pokemon information that included the height and weight and crap) and then it asked me if i wanted to give a nickname to RHYDON. i said no, and it was sent to my PC.
I proceeded with more walking when i ran into another pink rectangle. I sent out the same pokemon and again, threw a masterball. this time it didnt show any data for anything, but this time instead of asking me if i wanted to give a nickname to RHYDON, it asked if i wanted to nickname a jumble of letters and colours and shapes that didnt form words. i called it ANTHRAX as i was instructed.
I went to the Pokecenter in lavender town (the closest town) and went to the PC, picked up my ANTHRAX and took my first screenshot in the pokemon menu. i took a few more screenshots of stats and stuff and then went out to the grass to try out some shit, and i turned off the cheat here so i could run into some real pokemon. i put RHYDON in the top of my party and when I got into a battle i ended up fighting a lvl 18 pidgey. this was normal for the area. I sent out RHYDON and the sprite was normal, but he was pink instead of brown (i took a screenshot of that but i accidentally saved over it ). he did his stupid 'sing cry' and i started fighting. or at least i tried. as the screenshots indicate, he had no moves, and he refused to use struggle >_> and also, when i pressed down at the moves menu, the volume of the game's music would go down, and when it was completly silenced, RHYDON's regular cry would play.
I had to do something for my turn, so i attempted running. that didnt fuckin work. then it turned out that the enemy pidgey was not only sleeping, but was also level 44 for some reason. boy was i Goddamn confused. and on top of that, Rhydon was poisoned. no worries though, both pokemon's health was infinite, you could tell by the fuckin health bars flyin off everywhere. so i switched out to my mew that i didnt use codes to get, and my side of the screen seemed to have turned to normal. I started attacking with pound and seismic toss. the health was firing downwards, but when it never killed it and the health always filled back up. then pidgey woke up and used bite. WTF!!! so i threw a masterball at it and the pokedex registered a mother fuckin vulpix and i was on my way.
i put anthrax at the front after this. i was walkin around and the screen was doing the flashy thing to tell me my pokemon was poisoned. of course. anyways then I got into a battle with a level 17 sandshrew i think. i sent out anthrax, who was a big pink pixelly square with that damn 'sing cry' again. and within seconds. before I really got to do jack all other than look at his empty move set, the game went REAL pixelated, and turned white. i pressed some buttons but fuck all was happening beyond the battle music still playing, and I didnt even get to take a screenshot that battle. so i loaded my state and was back to just after i saved. things were back to normal again. whew.
it was a fun ride. anyways there was some stuff i left out that wouldnt be worth explaining considering i have the screenshots to tell you for me. so go ahead and look at that link way up there, if you took the time to read this than good for you. if not, well i hope you at least looked at the screenshots.
