Method #1: Fuchisa city $500:
DOES NOT WORK IN YELLOW
Requirements: Must not have surf
Step 1: Defeat every trainer up to Fuchisa
Step 2: Release any Meowth/Persian
Step 3: Become too poor to buy pokeballs
Step 4: Pick up all game corner coins and waste them all
Congratulations! You have now bricked your save file, no surf=no cinnibar

Method #2: Saffron city $100
Same thing as above
You are now too broke to buy water for the guard!
Method #3: Stranded on an island that gets blown up when generation 2 comes around:
MUST NOT HAVE ANY RODS
Step 1: Go to cinnibar
Step 2: Release surf user
Step 3: Release fossil Pokemon
Step 4: Release fly user
Step 5: Release any pokemon that can learn surf/fly
Step 6: Heal at cinnibar tra-I MEAN POKEMON CENTER
You now can't get off cinnibar. Enjoy starving to death or getting killed by a volcano
Method 4: Lorelei:
Step 1: Make the ONLY Pokemon in your party a Primape/Poliwrath/Ivysaur at ~Level 30
Step 2: Teach that Pokemon rage
Step 3: Deplete the PP of all moves except for rage
Step 4: Toss all PP restoring items
Step 5: Save
Step 6: Fight Lorelei
You now can't knock Dewgong out (It'll spam rest because Psychic >Fighting/Poison and you aren't strong enough to knock it out with three crits) and it can't knock you out (Rest won't damage you) so you have to 1/256 miss 20 times back to back. Good luck with that
ESCAPES:
Escape for #1:
Trade a Meowth from a different game or trade surf via stadium 2
Escape for #2:
Trade a Meowth from a different game or trade a drink via stadium 2
Escape for #3:
Trade a surf user, fly user, or a prize pokemon from stadium 2
Escape for #4:
1/256 miss rage 20 times back to back
Yeah, good luck with that!

Method 3 is also defeated by trading a Pokémon that knows Teleport or Dig, if you didn't heal at Cinnabar.

I'll add a quick method to softlock even though it's not glitchless :
1. Don't obtain the badges for Surf or Fly
2. Use WTW to go to Cinnabar
3. Heal there
4. Drop any method of enabling WTW again (such as the required items for 8F/ws m)
You are now stuck ! :D

I genuinely thought this was going to say something like "smash the cartridge with a brick".
