Alright folks, let’s jump right into how I messed around with cheats in Pokémon Rocket Edition. Because yeah, I was curious about that ‘fast level ups’ hype everyone talks about.
So first thing, I was kinda lazy and didn’t want to grind levels the old-fashioned way. Saw people online bragging about easy Rare Candies and instant max levels. Thought, why not give it a shot myself? Found myself digging through shady fan forums on my laptop late at night.
Step one: Getting the actual cheat codes. Sounds simple, right? Totally wasn’t. I spent forever searching things like “rocket edition rare candy cheat” or “instant level up glitch”. Tons of results popped up, but half were dead links or pages full of weird pop-up ads. Felt like wading through digital mud. Finally grabbed a few codes that promised Rare Candies and one for infinite Master Balls, ’cause hey, why not?
Next hurdle: Actually applying these bad boys. Pokemon Rocket Edition is a ROM hack, right? Playing it on an emulator on my PC. I use a pretty popular one, the name doesn’t matter much. Here’s where I messed up big time the first go.
- Loaded the ROM: Standard stuff.
- Opened the Cheats Menu: Easy find.
- Went to Add New Cheat: Typed in a Rare Candy code like a champ. Or so I thought.
Game froze solid the moment I tried to use it. Just locked up completely. Annoying. Turned out I copied the code wrong, missed a digit somewhere. This happened two more times with different codes. Patience was wearing thin, let me tell you.
Finally got a valid Rare Candy code working:
- 0100C4ED
- 0100C4EE
Made sure every single character was perfect. Activated it in the emulator’s cheat menu.
Booted up my save file. Went into my bag… and boom! There they were, Rare Candies stacked up in my inventory. Crazy. Fed one to my poor level 5 starter. Zapped it straight to level 6. Kept feeding, kept leveling. Went from level 5 to level 50 in about a minute. Felt hilariously overpowered and totally broke the early game.
Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Tried a different cheat later for max stats.
- Game started acting buggy, wild encounters glitching.
- Random crashes popped up after a gym battle.
Had to turn that specific cheat off. Lesson learned? Too many cheats at once = unstable game. Pick and choose carefully. Save frequently, especially before activating a new cheat! You never know when it’ll explode.
So, do cheats work? Oh yeah, they work. Fast levels are absolutely doable, especially with Rare Candy codes. But here’s the real kicker… the fun wears off stupidly fast. Crushing every battle without any effort gets boring quicker than you’d think. Plus, the constant worry about save corruption is real. It was a fun experiment, but honestly? The grinding might be frustrating, but beating the game legit feels way better in the end. Cheats are just a temporary shortcut that kinda ruins the trip.
