There have been many cheating devices throughout the history of both the Pokémon series and Nintendo's lines of handheld consoles. From GameShark to CodeBreaker to Game Genie to Action Replay to even fanmade solutions made out of cobbled-together PCBs and raw curiosity, Pokémon fans have wanted to see just how far they could push - or break - their games since the series' inception.
One such product that tried to aid in this was the Pelican Monster Brain, also known as the BrainBoy. Made in several variations, today on Stuff We Play, we're looking at one made specifically for cracking Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions (NA) wide open!
