Does anyone else but me have one of these? It's kind of like a Gameshark but you can actually manipulate the saved data in the Pokemon games up to Gold/Silver/Crystal such as changing your name, having Pokemon past level 100, teaching them unlearn-able moves, etc just like a Gameshark. However, the best feature of it was being able to actually back up your saves and transfer them to other carts. The worst part about it was it was SO BULKY that it was almost impossible to play the game and the start-up music was probably the worst ever for a video game.

I remember those when I worked retail in the late 90's, early 00's.  Nobody ever bought them, and when they did, they ended up being returned about 75% of the time.  Never owned one since the games that they made them for didn't appeal to me.
