#### New Glitch Region in Crystal??

It could be a whole new world to explore….
Just watch the video.
I didn't see anything like this on the 'Glitch Regions' section of the wiki, so I'm hoping it's new :XD:
All that's required are the move-thru-walls Gameshark codes for Crystal
Going to to this area changed a few things, kind of like the glitch cities in RBY:
-Name is changed
-After a while, the Frame Type changed as well
-The time instantaneously changed (it changed to 12:32 AM)
At first I thought there was a certain region that it was bound to, but now I'm not sure. It seems to lie between a nonsensical and real-world existence, as large fragments of Saffron City and Lavender Town remain intact as well as notifications that say you are in a new location still display among the skewed landscape.
Oh, that stupid Alan always calls me whenever I do a video… never when I'm not doing anything…

My Ex-girlfriend's video is in the related section of your video. :D She also occasionally lurks on these boards as a guest too. ;)
On a more serious note, I wouldn't be too surprised if there were tons of glitch regions we didn't know about.

Ah ok :XD:
Oh just found another Glitch Region in Crystal:
On Route 17 (Bike Path) if you go up the path starting from Fuschia City without a bike and continue to go left, you enter it. Should I add these to the Wiki?

Go ahead. They'll have to be tested, but I can pretty much trust that you're correct.

I am pretty sure that the first glitch region you found is just a scrambled version of Lavender Town, sorry to disappoint; but we do need a section about Pokémon G/S/C on the 'Out of bounds' article and how it can change other bytes such as the time, the name and other bytes, or we could make a general page about the Glitch City effect in the Generation II games. There is some logic behind why the game changes your time but I can't figure it out yet, once my time was changed to 65535 hours.
As for the other glitch region on Cycling Road I cannot really test it because I have Pokémon Gold when I went left of Cycling Road the game simply crashed.

So it was an 'Out of Bounds' area and not a Glitch City? What are the differences between them? What specifically makes a glitch a Glitch City and an 'Out of Bounds' area? (This willl be valuable to know for later :))
Oh and one more thing: when I was doing these glitches in Kanto, I did not have access to the Kanto map. I do not know if this makes a difference but I thought it might be important to mention.

For the Route 17 thing, it is pretty much the same behavior as the area in Saffron, so it would be in the same category. I'll try to get a video of that up as well.

I thought about it again… I don't think this stuff is ready to post on the wiki yet; I think I was getting a little ahead of myself. :XD:
There are still some things I'm not comfortable with in these glitch regions…
Oh discovered something new!!
While I was exploring through the glitched area, I had a random battle encounter AND a phone call at the same exact step! It was the strangest thing…. it was playing the battle music but the screen displayed only dark-gray random textures and allowed the pause menu to come up. It looked like this (only the first 23 seconds were relevant. the rest was just attempts to recreate the conditions for the instance to reoccur)
It exhibits the properties, again, of the RBY glitch city as it replaces random characters with the ?9 and glitching my inventory. I would have looked into more stuff about this, but I forgot to save and when I went to go to the key-items pocket, the game froze.
(Sorry it's not in Youtube form; I didn't feel like it was worth a whole video)

If Mystery Zone and —- are in "Glitch Regions," I see no reason why this shouldn't.

Go ahead and add them if you like. Keep them all on one page though, called something like "Pokémon Crystal Glitch Regions."

Okay, I will add them later on today. Any new region findings I will put in the wiki.
