> None of that really bothers me. The most tedious part has to be done either way (typing in the code). I could see the advantages though, either way I'll probably be forced into using it as support for coin case wavers.

TM25 is also much more convenient when developing code, since you don't have to fix the stack - which also requires SMC'ing an `inc sp` in. Thus more boxes can be used, leading to more powerful codes.
Speaking of fixing the stack, I wonder why this wouldn't work :
`
xor a
ld [$F199], a ; Menu lag-less
add sp, $FF ; dec sp
pop de ; Incurs an additional pop
pop de
pop de
pop de
or a
ret nc
`
instead of the classic
`
xor a
ld [$F199],a
pop de
pop de
inc sp
pop de
or a
ret nc
`
(Note : if for some reason "add sp, $FF" is infeasible, "ld hl, sp+$FF" followed by "ld sp, hl" should be possible)
The point of this setup is that it still fixes the stack, but doesn't require SMC anymore. So it could be moved to a later box ?

That's helpful! I'll try it out when I get the chance.

Over 99 glitch blocks for items:
They don't seem to change based on location or anything it seems.

Aren't you forgetting a (LD [$83ff], A)?
Never tried without it, but I thought this one was necessary.
Edit:
Just tried a do-nothing-then-return-to-game code and it worked:
`Box 1: ppéD9éZ (XOR A; XOR A; LD [83ff], A; LD [f199], A)
Box 2: .9'l'l'l'lx'd (ADD SP, ff; POP DE; POP DE; POP DE; POP DE; OR A; RET NC)`
Should work as a footer in any box for Coin Case ACE (fill out the space before with 5s).
Always viewed the stack-pointer as a "don't touch" object so my knowledge in this regard is very limited. Great job finding this.
Edit²:
Turns out (LD [$83ff], A) isn't only not required, but removing it also removes the part that turns the player character invisible.
Using these as the final 2 box names works without problems (at least nothing obvious). :)
`Box n-1: pppppéZ (XOR A; LD [f199], A)
Box n : .9'l'l'l'lx'd (ADD SP, ff; POP DE; POP DE; POP DE; POP DE; OR A; RET NC)`

These glitch tiles stay the same across locations because this the default VRAM for the bag. Once an item exceeds a quantity of x99 , the higher section of the quantity is displayed with tiles of the current VRAM, starting at VRAM tile $00

Thanks for the testing, spamviech ! Hopefully this will make Coin Case a bit easier to work with.
As for sp, remember that every time you push and pop, you're modifying sp :p
One pop implying incrementing sp twice, and one push decrementing it twice. This new approach basically decrements once and pops 4 times instead of incrementing and pop-ing 3 times.
By the way, the write to $F199 instead of $FF83 (not the other way around, I guarantee) was because of an above post suggesting the use of F199 instead to avoid the menu lag. I didn't test this, so I didn't know what the side-effects were. Anyways, thank you for making this small adjustment !

Caved, got TM 25. Lots and lots of wild shiny Sneasel.
Now the question is how to change my existing codes into TM 25 format? Otherwise just stick with coin case for them, I guess.

Knew that one already (kind of), that's why I didn't really touch these instructions as well (aside from "you need this as a footer").

Think that was my post, but I only added it there. Didn't know you can completely replace it.

So I haven't had a chance to test yet, but are both the wild encounter any Pokemon and shiny encounter any Pokemon TM25 only codes, or is it just the shiny encounter one? If it's both then I'll have to cave in and get TM25 too like Dragon Arbock lol.
And great video Torchickens, though I wish you showed the caught Celebi's moves to show the start moves. :)

They look like TM25 codes (no bunch of 'l at the end).

This means they will probably be able to be moved to Pokébank when such services become available. There might still be OT issues with Mew, but these can easily be resolved with an OT editor, and I can make one if needs be.

For Coin Case, this adaptation should work:
Edit: Need to take a closer look at this. There appears to be sth. else going on compare to usual.
Edit²: Still don't know how this OAM DMA loop thingy works, but at least this code does:
`
Box 1: Ap'v8é'm25
Box 2: péZ(mult)0(male).9
Box 3: 'v'vé52p0'm
Box 4: éJ9p0(female)'l'l
Box 5: éK9p02'l'l
Box 6: éL9p'd555
Box 7: p0?yyéé'd
Box 8: p0éé(female)'dyy
Box 9: p0ké0'dp'd`

Nice work! I'll add this to my video when I release it.
Edit: Make sure to replace 55 with yy, enabling interrupts during a Pokemon encounter crashes the game.

Thanks, will test later. Though I'll probably only get Celebi with this method. More challenging to get the rest the normal way, even though 1% and 5% Pokemon are so annoying to find sometimes. Currently post Elite Four searching for Furret and Pikachu on Routes 1 and 2.

Insta-Death exploit
Box 1: Ap0'méJ95
Box 2: p0(female)éK955
Box 3: p02éL955
Box 4: pé12p'd55
Box 5-6: (Doesn't Matter)
Box 7: péA'lé9'dy
Box 8: p'dyyyyyy
After using, all trainer/wild Pokemon will immediately faint on the first turn (move,item,etc.), and any Pokemon the trainer sends out afterwards will immediately faint upon being sent out.
Insta-death exploit (Coin case version, thanks ISSOtm and spamveich!)
Box 1: Ap0'méJ95
Box 2: p0(female)éK955
Box 3: p02éL955
Box 4: pé125555
Box 5: pppppéZ(mult)
Box 6: .9'l'l'l'lp'd
Box 7: péA'lé9'dy

> May make a video of it like Nostalgia suggested, and if you make one too I'll add a link to it in my video description.

Torchickens, could you also link to it using cards? :) They appear on the top-right side of the video player and automatically hide under a circular i button.

> I already have the AVI and WAV ready, but I can't combine them yet, i've been scrambling for a video editor that can do this to no avial.

`ffmpeg -i "/path/to/my-awesome-video.avi" -i "/path/to/its-dope-audio.wav" -c copy "/path/to/yay-we-have-sound-now.avi"`
:P

Video is finally up. Curse ye slow internet speeds
I might make more videos for codes like Insta-Death exploit and some other codes i've written.
Like I mentioned earlier, definitely not Torchickens or Crystal_ quality.
