Once you have beaten all 16 Gyms and Red, go to Saffron City. Inside Silph Co, you will find a man who will offer you one of the 3rd gen (Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald) starting pokemon, one of which is Torchic.

If you evolve it from a Torchic which you will be given by one of the professor's: however, I recommend you get one of the other ones cuz you can get Torchic on the Pokewalker ;) haha that's what I did :D now I got a Treecko AND a Torchic haven't trained the thought... anyways lol that's the best I can give ya :D
feh!you dont need action replay!just go to silph co. after you met steven stone several times,and talk to him,choose red stone,he'll give you torchic.
In the new Pokemon HeartGold game, you can catch new Pokemon such as Beldum, Latios/Latias and you can choose between Treeko, Mudkip, or Torchic. (Can all be obtained through Pokemon League Champion Steven from the Hoenn Region.)
After you beat red an get the kanto starters go to saffron city an go into the tall building called Silph co and there is steven he will give you a hoenn starter .
Torchic is the best.
