Turns out he was using a modified iso on a memory card. This would buff Pichu’s abilities to make him more ‘viable’ in competitive play, but only under very specific conditions. Like, if the player chose controller port 4, made Pichu wear goggles and held L while the game was loading. They also had to press down left on the D-pad, if that wasn’t already enough steps.

So if I chose blue Pichu without having my controller in port 4 (or simply took port 4) I could stop the cheat from happening?

This was forever ago. Also, the article is wrong. The people that found out about the hacking didn't have the version of the hack where the changes were only active on port 4 goggle Pichu.

Also ignores the hacker's side of the story, but nobody believes him anyway.
