Then again, I've successfully saved under Super Glitch, so there is a possibility your save will live, but I doubt it will.

And able to load the save file or just been able to save? (Sometimes Yes/No boxes can become glitched)

TheZZAZZGlitch once did a video and showed a way to use super glitch to change your name to a valid blank one allowing you to save, maybe you did something similar?

Loading had no problems. Name was around 39 characters based on viewing save raw.

Bulbasaur at lv153 that knows explosion?

Is explosion the only move it knows?

No,  Explosion is 3 our of four of it's moves.
The other move is whatever it's third move was. (eg; Mega punch)
Because 3 is safe from the corruption because it's a multiple of 3, meaning that the 3rd move is unaffected.
The same applies for any other multiple of three in the corruption.
(Please correct me if I am wrong)

This Also explains why your third Pokémon isn't corrupted (except for it's glitched HP).

Thats interesting because normally having a name too long causes the save file checksum to fail which means the game should delete it.

Well normally saving the game will either work and say its saved but then on a reboot the save file will be gone (The game deletes it due to thinking its corrupted with the invalid name) or you can't save because the Yes/No dialoge box becomes corrupted and the game crashes.

However for some it seems they are able to load the save file even with an invalid name so I am thinking there is more to this.

Basically, best way to destroy data.
It's kinda…scary, in some ways.

ALL THE Z's!
ALL OF THEM!

I heard an ACE setup could somehow safely save your file. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yup. You jump to the save routine, then control is returned to your script by the ret at the end.

Nope, that'd just save, but keep your file corrupted.
You'd have to fix your name then save.

I once (accidentally) saved (and freaked out) and successfully reloaded while under some pretty bad Super Glitch effects. Shit happens. Sometimes you just get that corruption that sums right.

Funny little trivium. In the Japanese versions the hex:99 character is (ha). So by performing the ZZAZZ glitch a lot of ("ha") appear in your name (hence the glitch could be named for instance the "hahaha glitch") and hahaha happens to be of course an expression for laughing.

I tried some interesting things with the ZZAZZ, and I wanted to post it in this thread.

1) I read pages back, the third Pokémon of your team will not transform into Bulbasaur if this Pokémon is Mewtwo, and had the 2nd slot of our team. And I read that one Pokémon transform into Eevee, but I don't know who was. Well, I put Mew in the second slot, and my Pokémon turned into Pidgeot. After that, I thinked why happens this, and I went to the Hex List. Could be that, depending the Pokémon (may be his PokéDex number?), the Bulbasaur will get down his decimal/hexadecimal number by 1, and thus, transforms into the Pokémon hex/dec number correspondent? Like this:

153 - Bulbasaur
152 - Starmie
151 - Pidgeot

https://glitchcity.info/wiki/The_Big_HEX_List



2) And I tried a trick similar to the remaining HP bar glitch. After activate the ZZAZZ, I went to the Pokémon Center to deposite all my team. After that, I picked them up, and I went to the daycare to let some Pokémon. Curiously, some Pokemon let down to 100 (or up to 80, 90…) if their level is bigger.

The method I used to let the team in the PC was one that let me to quite almost all moves of the Pokémon, thus making a Cooltrainer Pokémon. I uploaded this method 4 years ago, I put here the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE44JJUt2qQ

I think with this method you can obtained fusioned Pokémon depending on the Pokémon you have in the team and their distribution (or I don't know if this also depends of their stats and movements). I upload some captures of fusioned Pokémon:

If I put some fusioned Pokémon in the Day Care, I could receive another different Pokémon which I left. Note that If the colour of some Pokémon change to green, the Pokémon that we will receive could be Bulbasaur. Putting some Pokémon with colour different to green, I obtained other Pokémon like Kangaskhan, Persian, or the most interesant of all, some glitched Pokémon:

I post here a video which I uploaded to Youtube to show the walkthrough I realized: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy4lv5Pw9mI



I don't know what to think about those glitches. They are very complex because started with a Superglitch and alter a lot of things in the game. I post there things here to find some answers!

1) Hmm that's odd. In terms of your party immediately after ZZAZZ glitch, I don't know whether the species should matter as I've always been under the impression you can only get Bulbasaur (without the glitch in 2)). Also party Pokémon 3 and 6 will not turn into Bulbasaur. However, if you perform the ZZAZZ glitch with 2 or 5 Pokémon, your party menu won't freeze after opening it. What you're describing about the Pokémon (Bulbasaur?) transforming into Pidgeot sounds like international dokokashira door glitch.


2) This glitch sounds like the party Pokémon box data shift glitch, in fact you don't have to set it up with ZZAZZ glitch and can set it up with Super Glitch too (see here). It happens because the 0xFF terminator is removed, hence the game shifts all data back by one byte on the first Pokémon upon depositing Pokémon 2 or above.

I had another strange experience with the ZZAZZ. I used this time a Pokémon with 251 Special to activate an encounter with a trainer glitch. In detail, has appeared a Trainer with blank name. He has in their team a Cubone with level 9. I fight with him using a move, but the trainer uses a X Attack. Successively, the battle stops and sound glitched sounds. Those sounds ends with the song of victory against the leaders/champion, and a box text appear. You can press A to continue, and the battle immediately ends with a glitched screen, and other box text.

I checked what could happen if you start the battle in another city, so I use Fly to other cities. The battle would be the same, but the box text changes, because these box have text from NPCs or posters from the city you visit.

The most interesant of all, it's that you can continue your game without effects caused by this glitch. This effect looks like the Too Bad! The trade was cancelled! effect. And couriously, in the wiki says that this trainer could activate this effect, but this does not appeared to me. I wanted to try this in other games, and I checked this in the spanish Yellow's version, and the trainer appears, but the game collapses (freeze with a white screen). I also checked it in the  Blue version, and I saw the same that in the spanish version.

I put here this because I don't saw it in the wiki. I also upload a video to Youtube, where I test the effect in all places with using Fly, I let this if someone want to see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu0eC4Z6DQ4
