Pokémon Glitches/Bugs/Mistakes Thread

No there's not really, you posted a fucking video, WELL AINT THAT NEAT, you're posting a little known fact as if it's some groundbreaking discovery, some little known fact that goes against the purpose of the game itself, so who gives a flying fuck? Who would honestly play the game like that? It wouldn't be enjoyable at all, I mean that's all there is to say. It's a nifty little error in the game for those who purposely don't want to have a good time.

That's where you're wrong my hasty friend~ There are plenty of people, myself included, who like to find out what happens if you go off the rails. Obviously, most of us aren't going to do it the first time playing the game; usually it takes a couple of playthroughs to know the ins and outs, before you try to start breaking the game. It's interesting to see what sort of things can happen if things were to play out differently. Sometimes, programmers even include a little something for people who do otherwise, such as the aforementioned Crystal (failsafe of having no Pokemon is, you automatically win!). It's also useful to find things that would otherwise be useful for speedrunning a game.

Pokemon Gen I games have plenty of these sort of glitches that you could use to skip around. For example, there's the save stepping glitch that you can use to skip past the Youngster who takes you to go see Brock when you attempt to pass his line of vision. If you perform it correctly, you can completely bypass him and continue down route 3,. Useful for those people who started with Charmander, and don't want to tank their way through Brock's Gym.

I believe the same glitch can skip you pass the guards on Victory Road.

There's also a legit way to walk through walls in Gen I, through the use of the Safari Zone. Doing the save stepping glitch, you get your way outside of the Safari Zone while you're still considered inside, and walk 499 steps. Make the 500 step be that of the location of a ledge you'd normally jump down, and the PA will call the player back while they're in midair. Congratulations! You can now walk through walls~
