Cheating and glitches have been a part of the Pokémon series from the very beginning, and Pokémon FireRed is no different.

A remake of the original Pokémon Red game that started the worldwide phenomenon, Pokémon FireRed came out in 2004 and let an entire new generation explore the Kanto region and catch the first 151 Pokémon.

The game remains incredibly popular all these years later, which of course means the cheats remain popular as well - so if you're after unlimited rare candies, max stats or of course a way to catch the elusive Mew, we have you covered.

In other Nintendo news, thanks to Black Friday, you can now get the Nintendo Switch, Mario Kart Deluxe and three months of Nintendo Switch Online for only £259.99 from the Nintendo Store.
How to use Pokémon Fire Red cheats
If you're playing the old-fashioned way with a GameBoy Advance and are using a Gameshark or Action Replay to cheat, then all you have to do is type in codes to activate your chosen cheat - though beware that some of these codes are rather long!

However, these devices usually require a master code to be used first. The master code for Pokémon FireRed is as follows:

3AF85ACA C4D18CEC
8E883EFF 92E9660D

Simply type in the master code using your Gameshark or Action Replay and you're ready to cheat - all you'll have to do is enter the codes for your chosen cheat which are all listed below.

However, if you're using an emulator such as the Visual Boy Advance for Windows, you'll have to follow a few more steps to use Pokémon Fire Red cheats:

Open up the VBA emulator
Now select File, then Open and now choose the Pokémon Fire Red ROM
Select Cheats and then Cheat list from the VBA menu
Select Gameshark
Enter your codes of choice
Select OK twice and you will be back in the game
