R/B Choose your Pokémon attempted escape glitch

This glitch involves starting a new game and then walking into the grass on route 1 to trigger the normal lab sequence where you choose your pokemon.

Instead of choosing your Pokémon, hold Down while repeated pressing B to ignore Prof. Oak's attempts to prevent you from leaving.  Eventually, you will start to notice sprites of the aides and back wall flyers will take slightly longer to load.  Keep holding down while pressing B and eventually you, one of the pokedexes on the table, a ball or two off the table, and possibly your rival will disappear depending on which side of the exit you tried leaving.  You won't be able to move and instead will hear the running into a wall sound.

To return the game back to normal, press start and the map will glitch out.  Exiting the start menu will return the game back to normal.

Without save abuse or save editing, I don't think this glitch has any use.  Maybe someone can tinker with it via item over/underflow manipulation and escape Prof. Oak and Pallet Town without a Pokémon.

EDIT: This glitch does not work in Yellow.

Seems like this minor bug has been known since at least 2012.

You reckon this glitch is related to the glitch in Pokemon yellow where in the Pokemon Centre with the Jigglypuff that sings and makes pikachu sleep, if you go off screen from him and walk ages the screen glitches up?

It looks more like the screen distortion caused by scrolling past the 6th Pokemon.

Yeah, this glitch isn't actually anything new (I've done it myself for lulz) and it probably doesn't have any benefits. It's just fun to do.  Not sure what the letter A's significance is though.

Yeah that's what I thought too :)
