Weird glitchmart in Yellow

While I was randomly entering Gameshark codes, I found an item with a hex of 74 (whose real name is too long for me to remember). Conveniently enough, I couldn't afford it. However, after the 'You don't have enough money' message came up, the entire background was changed to 'Zowayix' repeated over and over. Then when I exited the shop menu, I got into a battle. A Metapod appeared (it was a fish apparently) and was poisoned. I didn't even send out any Pokemon somehow. When I selected Fight, nothing happened, so I selected Item and I automatically threw one of my Master Balls. Then it said I caught a Ditto.

In conclusion, WTF

Even more strangely enough, I can't seem to replicate this.

Nice. If you catch a M and then choose to give it a nickname, bet then decide not to you stay in battle with it, but if you catch it again it's a ditto.

Hence the almighty mascot of the forums! But seriously, this story should be more visible. I didn't know what it was about 'till now. ^-^

Hahaha, why did the Metapod think it was a fish? :P

In all seriousness, that's just plain weird. And cool. Good luck replicating it.

And hooked Metapods so rock

That sounds like an effect of a corrupted gameshark code.  The code could have got corrupted in the RAM somehow but, hard to tell what happened.

In my Red/Blue Itemdex experiments, the Hooked Metapod is a direct effect of using a glitch item.

Oh…so that's where the Hooked Metapod comes from…

Yet, I can't replicate it. It just crashes…

Hang on, I'll go look it up in the Itemdex. I'm sure it's there.
