Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Cheat Codes and Unlockables for Nintendo 3DS

Remakes. Some of us love them, some of us loathe them. I think remakes are a good thing for gaming especially with certain games being stuck on retro consoles and the price of said consoles continuing to skyrocket. However, remakes aren’t quite the infinite money glitch that the game industry thinks it is. It must still be a good remake and reimagining that keeps the original’s soul intact.

Pokemon Alpha Sapphire released November 21, 2014, is a remake of games from the third generation of Pokemon. The game received good reviews from critics and even became the fourth-best-selling Nintendo 3DS title. Despite these accolades, many fans of the series would see these as the beginning of the end for Pokemon as these started a collection of lackluster remakes from The Pokemon Company. You can read our review here.

Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Premise

While this title is a remake of the third-generation title, Pokemon Sapphire. It also brought over plenty of changes made later in the series, such as type split, unlimited Tms, and triple battles. This remake also simplified the already simple Pokemon formula causing some fans to criticize it for babification. I believe this game is a good introduction game for a young child but should be skipped if you’re a veteran fan. Just play the original or Pokemon Emerald.

Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Cheats

Berry Master Wife Codes

The Berry Master’s wife returns from the original Ruby and Sapphire, trying to figure out the first word of specific phrases. If the player inputs the correct word that fits the phrase, the Berry Master’s wife will award the player with a rare berry. Make sure that the other word is in CAPITAL letters, otherwise the player does not get a rare berry. Also, keep in mind that these phrases only work once. After that, the Berry Master’s wife only gives out common berries.

Legendary Pokemon

Complete the indicated task to find the corresponding Pokemon:

Azelf, Mespirit, and Uxie: Soar with different Friendly Pokemon in your party to find Nameless Cavern. Visit it at different times to randomly encounter Azelf, Mespirit, and Uxie.

Note: After you have captured one of these Pokemon, you must wait twelve hours before capturing another one.

Cresselia: Soar regularly until you encounter it near Ever Grande City at Level 50.

Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion: Use some well-trained Pokemon to find Pathless Pain. Visit it on different days of the week to randomly encounter Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion.

Note: After you have captured one of these Pokemon, you must wait twelve hours before capturing another one.

Dialga, Giratina, and Palkia: First, obtain Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie. Then, Soar with a Psychic-type trio in your party to find Dialga or Palkia in the Dimension Rift.

Note: Finding Girantina requires temporal and spatial finesse.

Entei, Raikou, and Suicune: Soar with different Legendary Pokemon in your party to find Trackless Forest. Visit it at different times to randomly encounter Entei, Raikou, and Suicune.

Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom: Soar with a very high-level Pokemon to find the Gnarled Den.

Note: Capturing Kyurem requires having both Reshiram and Zekrom in your party, which is difficult because they are exclusive to one version of the game.

Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus: Soar with a Pokemon that reacts to weather to encounter Thundurus or Tornadus.

Note: Finding Landorus requires the power of Lightning/Storm and having both Tornadus and Thundurus in your party.

Regigigas: Capture Regice, Regirock, and Registeel. Soar to Pacifidlog Town, and enter the house located on the east side of the Pokemon Center. The girl will tell stories about another Legendary Pokemon called Regigigas that she learned from her grandfather. Then, put Regice, Regirock, and Registeel in your party. Have Regice with a Snowball, Icicle Plate, Icy Rock, or a Never-Melt Ice to hold. Give Regice a nickname; go to the Name Rater in Slateport City to learn how to give a nickname. Defeat or catch Groudon or Kyogre at the Cave Of Origin.

Note: You must wait 24 hours after acquiring Regice, Regirock, and Registeel. Once those steps have been completed, Soar to Route 105, and travel towards the Island Cave. Enter the cave’s rear cavern during the day. Save the game, then move towards the center of the area. If all conditions are met, the ground will shake, and Regigigas will appear.
