Pokemon Gold 'SPECIAL' area on the town map - Page 1

Pokemon Gold 'SPECIAL' area on the town map

This code changes your default location according to the town map.

01XXD7C5

i.e 01 is New bark town
02 is the route after new bark town

I changed the value to 00 and surprsingly it drew the words 'SPECIAL' as a possible error message for an unknown area, I tried higher values like FF and turned the code off and scrolled through glitched locations such as  "'v    yGOCGBYE' and other strange names but this 'SPECIAL' area is quite strange, it probably isn't for the special stat because it was changed to Sp attack and Sp defence.

I don't know this is just a town map modifier but it proves they do exist, the hex for 'SPECIAL' is 00 but if I enter 00,00 in the door modifier the game will just crash but the names of the towns are interesting
