The phrase refers to methods, codes, or exploits used by players to gain an unfair advantage in the fan-made Pokmon ROM hack, “Sovereign of the Skies.” These may include codes to acquire rare items, manipulate game events, or alter character statistics beyond the intended limitations of the game’s design. For example, a player might use a code to instantly obtain a Master Ball or max out a Pokmon’s IVs (Individual Values).
The appeal stems from a desire to circumvent the intended difficulty and time investment required to progress through the game legitimately. Utilizing these methods can allow players to experience the story and unique elements of the game with less frustration, or to quickly assemble powerful teams for competitive battles. This practice is a common phenomenon in video gaming history, where players often seek alternative paths to achieve desired outcomes, sometimes driven by curiosity, impatience, or a desire to explore the game’s potential beyond its intended boundaries.
