I want to know, can you do the "dokokashira" door glitch in the Japanese version of Pokemon Blue?

Perhaps not via the 'usual' method because similarly to Pokémon Yellow the Japanese Pokémon Blue is quite different. For example, there are a number of dialogue changes. This is probably not a good example here but in the Japanese Blue game you can trade a man at Cinnibar a Kadabra instead of a Raichu.

Isn't Japanese based on the same basis as the non-Japanese Red and Blue rather than the Japanese Red and Green versions which are a previous engine. So "Green-specific" glitches wouldn't work.

With Glitch City, I believe it messes up the invisible warps that are between doors and such. Basically, these warps keep track on where the player is, and where the player will end up next. Being in different areas in the game while executing the GC glitch changes the warps, and thus you end up in pretty strange places in the game. For example, once I came out of the PokeMart in Saffron City, I forget which route I was on when the "P.A" text showed up.

OK, so a while back, I had restarted Red version, and the Snorlax between Vermilion and Lavender….  It wasn't there.  At all.  Can anyone kind of explain this?

My original thoughts were that perhaps leaving the Safari Zone gatehouse should always take you to the 'previous location' - as suggested by changing XX to the Safari Zone gatehouse and walking to the bottom exit after turning the code off in the location manager code 01XX5DD3, so if you run out of steps in another location the function (i.e. appear outside of this building - the Safari Zone house)  probably becomes invalid for other areas, hence the game manages nearby unrelated pointers to translate such data into tile data?

Its difficult with this theory to explain why you would wind up in the Pokémart though. I've never actually done the Glitch City trick too much, when you winded up in a Pokémart did you get taken to the Safari Zone gatehouse first? If not I guess the Safari Zone gatehouse isn't always used constantly as people may have thought and you may have been transported to the Pokémart instead of the gatehouse.

I was experimenting, since I was young and my cousin told me about the lame rumor that there was a 9th gym in Glitch City and that's where Mewthree was at in my Yellow…  :XD:

Ah, the good old days lol.

Whoo, boy.  I was doing the Ditto Glitch in Red, except instead of fighting Ditto, I was just going back to the gambler's route after fighting the trainer, to see what I would find.  I had previously done this with all trainers before Bill's house.  In addition to Mew, I had managed to get Cubone, Scyther, and Gengar.  Anyway, this time, something seriously screwy happened.

I flew away from the Gambler and returned to Lavender Town.

I went north and fought the hiker who uses Onix and Graveler.  The one who says something about mountain air.

I returned to Lavender Town.

In anticipation of something particularly hard to catch, I went to the Pokemart and bought 20 Great Balls.

I entered the route.  Instead of the menu coming up, a text box appeared and said "You look good at Pokemon, but how's your chem?"  Or whatever that guy says.  Next I find myself fighting the Super Nerd.  I beat him, and then after the battle, another text box comes up, this one filled with glitchy text, and I fight the same Super Nerd.  This time, after the battle, it ends.

I walk on the route, and it's stopping me after every step I take.  It does some strange sound effect, plus Missingno.'s cry after every step.  And trainers weren't noticing me, and the start menu wasn't working, although the A button was, though only when I was talking to that one lass I had already beaten.

I reset the game and did the whole thing over again, only I skipped the part where I buy Great Balls.  This time I just found a Gastly.

So, uh, what the hell?  It's pretty clear to me that buying the Great Balls screwed me up.  But how did it do this?
