Okay, so... when I was in high school and was on my DS-3DSi, you could buy a game shark. You'd put the game shark into the cartridge slot and put the game into the game shark and it'd pull up all the cheats you could use for the game. You pick which ones you want, launch the game, check to make sure it worked, save the game, and any changes made are saved to your game.
The main thing I used this for in Pokemon was to get EVERY SINGLE POKEBALL. And not just one of each. I'd get the most you could get of every Pokeball. It's not helpful for shiny hunting or anything, it just made me happy to be able to match Pokemon vibes with the Pokeball. The loveball is still my favorite, and I'm kinda miffed that the one time we got them in Scarlet and Violet, they only gave us two.
So it got me back to thinking about gamesharks. I knew that people could mod their Switches to get cheats, but I'm not that tech-savvy. In fact, the idea of modding anything more than my Sims 4 game sounds terrifying. So I went to look at see what there was in line with what I remember using for the DS. And I did find the Switch Up, but reviews were... mixed? And while it had info about using it for Sword, Shield, Diamond, and Pearl, there wasn't anything about Scarlet and Violet.
So I wasn't about to throw down $40+ for something I wasn't even sure would work. And while I know my ex is tech-savvy enough to mod my switch and get me what I want, his last words to me were that he "doesn't want to have to take care of" me. Plus, I probably can't afford his fees now that we're broken up. (He did stuff on my DS for free when we were together, so.)
Which is why I'm turning to Tumblr. I know if I shoot out a question here, someone will have some kind of answer for me. I'm sure I could get more responses on Reddit or something, but from my experience, Redditers have very little patience for people like me. I may be the tech guru in my house, but compared to them I'm a big dumdum.
So my fellow Tumblr Goers (or whatever our denizen name is), can anyone help me with this? Please let me know if I have to just accept that I can no longer get infinite Pokeballs or if there is some kind of hope for me.
starting a tag game! take this quiz to find out what kind of shark you are, reblog with your results, and tag a few people you think would enjoy :) i’ll go first!
i think this is pretty accurate!!

Almost everybody is here! I made a scavenger-hunt like image, featuring 141 unique characters, 20 animals, and 10 Jericho symbols to locate! The biggest piece I’ve challenged myself with, I hope you guys enjoy!
