In the GBA Pokémon games. I realized the Safari zone counts steps, but not shifting directions in the same square. But the chance to encounter Pokémon occurs when you shift directions. So you can tap up, down, left, right and change direction in the same square and have an infinite # of Pokémon encounters without taking steps. It made catching rare safari zone Pokémon much easier.
I remember 25 years ago or something playing Pokémon blue and being able to exploit infinite master balls. That was one of the greatest exploits ever.
25 odd years on and I'm now furious I never knew this, stupid 5 year old me.
this would of been worth it's weight in gold on the playground back in the day.
