Now I just saw the image of North / West, I went something like talking to Oak ZZAZZ with glitch activated:

Instead of giving me a nickname for Pikachu and instead put Yes / No put me North / West. Someone knows why that happens?

The ZZAZZ glitch changes many values to hex:99, with the amount of addresses affected depending on the Trainers' potential win money (it caps at 9999 but this is actually a cause of the glitch, see this). At address $D12C is the box-set ID; the ZZAZZ glitch may change this to a glitch box-set with the value $99, but I haven't seen this as North/West.

Did you try viewing a Super Glitch move? North/West is value 01, and it is possible for Super Glitch to write that value to $D12C.

What happened when you chose "North" or "West"? 

Those message boxes are interesting; especially with the screen wrapping. 

It is important to note that in cases where the "Yes/no" message box would appear, the game doesn't try to set the value for what will appear.  It assumes that it will be set to "Yes/no", and if it isn't, it will display whatever value is there. 

Cooltrainer move's name pointer pretty much always ends up in the middle of boxed Pokemon data, RAM address $DA80 and beyond (BTW: this is also why Cooltrainer move sometimes takes the nicknames of Pokemon in the current box as its name).
Addresses beyond $DA80 contain a lot of 0x50 bytes, as this is where the Pokemon nicknames and Original Trainer names are stored.

The easiest way to increase the chances of the Cooltrainer move working is to try and change the number of Pokemon in current PC box. If it still doesn't work, change the number of boxed Pokemon once more and try again.

There is no clear pattern - every save file needs a different number of boxed Pokemon for the Cooltrainer move to work properly. On my main save on an emulator, I needed 7 Pokemon in the box for the move to work. On my save on the cartridge the move works only if there are no Pokemon in the box. My different, older save file required 16 or 15.

Wonder if it ever can be used for arbitrary code.

Why does Cooltrainer not work for me on official Blue VC? There's no corruption ever and that's bad because…  AxXDao needs to fill his dex. And He doesn't want to waste trainers for the Mew trick. ACE also i won't do as I don't want the risk of my save being killed, just like the two previous ones.

Also, were you camping on this thread? I just went back and replied to something and you posted.

That can happen and for some reason it seems CoolTrainer is likely not to work after a certain point. Changing the number of hex:50 in the memory is said to help, so you can try various things such as: lengthening or shorten the nicknames of your Pokémon in the party or the number of Pokémon in the current box, adding items with quantities of x80 to the inventory and hopefully CoolTrainer will start to work.

I forgot about that… *derp*… Trying this right now.

You can later move this somewhere…
My Ditto has a nickname of "CT" which stands for CoolTrainer and my Fearow (flyer) has a nickname of "h".
Also, my current box has 11-13 Pokémon in it and my other box has 4 Pokémon in it. The rest are empty.
Now I'll try CoolTrainer. If that doesn't work then items.
BUT:I forgot something, I managed to get CoolTrainer to work but the game "00 39 00 39"'d my right away.

I see, happy that it worked that time. You likely already know this but would like to share just in case you weren't aware, the reason why it may have froze is because you need to open the items menu or Pokémon menu at a specific place first and then never open it afterwards until you do the corruption; for example opening the items menu in battle before doing the corruption allows you to force a Missingno. on the opponent's side.

Yes, I knew that, and so i opened it somewhere in Diglett's Cave, then got into a encounter. It's because of backup onscreen data, right?

EDIT:Goddammit Spearow… I can encounter 'M, Normal Missingno., and Areodactyl Fossil Missingno on that goddamn coast but i got you… as well as Sandshrew's Oh, and level 151 Mewtwo's too.
