Effects of 9F/10F in Red/Blue or -lg/-gm in Yellow and Lol Glitch

A while back, I was messing with Glitch Items, and I came across 9F. If you used it in battle, it would end the battle, and put you in a Glitch City (which is how I found Instant Glitch Cities). However, I didn't find much out of 9F, so I didn't look into it much.
Fast-Forward to like a week ago, I was messing with 10F this time (doesn't matter, it has the same effect as 9F), and when I used it in battle, the glitch city appeared, but this time, I managed to get out of it. I then decided to use a PP Up on Ditto (doing some testing about using PP Ups on the Cooltrainer move), but for some reason it didn't work. After some testing, I realized that I was still in a battle, but in the overworld too. Since you're still in a battle, you can catch the Pokémon you were last fighting. Flying/Teleporting away ends the effect (digging doesn't work for some reason).
Then, I tried mutating a Pokemon outside of battle. Since you can't fight with your Pokémon outside of battle (but you can still use Poke Flute/X Items/Other Stuff), you can't use the Cooltrainer move to mutate Pokémon. However, you still can use TMTrainer based items to corrupt the battle. This way, by positioning your character for Cooltrainer, and selecting (NOT USING) a TMTrainer item, you can mutate a Pokémon and catch it. The battle still doesn't end though, so if you keep chucking balls, you'll be catching Ditto's instead (most likely because the game isn't sure of the Pokémon caught, so it assumes it's a Transformed Ditto). You also need to end a real battle, by fleeing/catching/defeating any Pokémon, to fix encounters. However, it's best to just save and reset after performing the glitch, because there are some side effects, namely:
[li]For some Distorts, if you try to close/fly away from the map you were at, the Game will just softlock.[/li]
[li]Even after you fix the encounter, sometimes if you try to perform the glitch again, opening various menus outside of battle will crash the game.[/li]
[li]While not much of a problem, there seems to be a lower encounter rate after doing the glitch.[/li]
In Yellow, this glitch has way more potential with the removal of Cooltrainer, and the game screen buffering when you get into a battle. In addition, Yellow Version is more friendly when performing the glitch. The glitch items -gm and -lg don't put you in a Glitch City after the Battle, and the items 9F and vtm refresh the map, making movement easier. The reason I called it Lol Glitch is the letters -lg have the same letters at the beginning in "Lol Glitch", but if you don't think the name is "professional" enough, you could always call it "Reverse Cooltrainer", "Unfinished Battle Mutation Glitch" or something like that. (there's another reason why it's called lol glitch, but it doesn't really matter here)
[size=14pt]Procedure in Red/Blue:[/size]
[li]Get an encounter, swap any item with the "Warp Pointer Item (usually an HM) (described in this post here http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,7084.msg196617.html#msg196617)", and use 9F.[/li]
[li]Swap the Warp Pointer Item back when you are outside of battle. Depending on where you are on the map, this may put you in a bad position, so restart the glitch if that happens.[/li]
[li]Get into a position for Cooltrainer. Warping doesn't erase the effect, so you can go to any glitch city you want.[/li]
[li]Use any TMTrainer item (PC item works best since it doesn't cause any lag)[/li]
[li]Throw any Poké Ball (but you'd probably want to throw a Master Ball) to catch the Pokémon.[/li]
[li]Save and Reset to fix any undesirable side effects. This also removes the need to get an encounter to fix wild encounters.[/li]
[size=14pt]Procedure in Yellow:[/size]
The procedure for Yellow is generally the same, with some slight modifications.
[li]Get an encounter, and use -lg/-gm. If you use -lg, you have to wait for a few seconds before the battle ends. If you use -gm, it may seem like the game just softlocks, but all you have to do is open the Start Menu.[/li]
[li]Use 9F or vtm to refresh the map, so movement is easier[/li]
[li]Get into a position for Cooltrainer. Warping doesn't erase the effect, so you can go to any glitch city you want. Note that glitch cities are different in Yellow Version.[/li]
[li]Use any TMTrainer item (the 2p item works best since it doesn't cause any lag)[/li]
[li]Throw any Poké Ball (but you'd probably want to throw a Master Ball) to catch the Pokémon.[/li]
[li]Save and Reset to fix any undesirable side effects. This also removes the need to get an encounter to fix wild encounters.[/li]
