GameCorner: SymbolDex 9.8%

Something quite interesting I've been studying recently are 'glitch symbols', which can be forced by making the game consider that you have recieved a certain outcome in one of the GameCorner slot machines; e.g. 7,7,7. There are only a few valid symbols however, hence the other identifiers are essentially 'glitch symbols'.

I've decided to start a project documenting the characteristics of such symbols (e.g. payout for three and appearence) by identifier, this will be moved to the archives when finished like the earlier 'AreaDex'.

Note that for unknown reasons some glitch symbols show the payout, but the game will not give the "X lined up! Won X coins." message and will not grant the player the coins.

Here are the codes I'll be using:
First symbol in outcome modifier: 01XX09C6
Second symbol in outcome modifier: 01XX0DC6
Third symbol in outcome modifier: 01XX17C6

00: Normal '7' symbol. Payout (1x) = 300 coins.
01: Fragmented 7 symbol with part of Pokéball symbol. Payout (1x) = 300 coins.
02: Unknown (dialogue "X lined up" not shown). Payout (1x) = C801 coins.
03: Unknown (dialogue "X lined up" not shown). Payout (1x) = C801 coins.
04: Normal Pokéball symbol. Payout (1x) = 50 coins.
05: Fragmented Pokéball symbol. Payout (1x) = 50 coins.
06: Fragmented Pokéball symbol with part of Cherry. Payout (1x) = 1536 coins.
07: Fragmented Cherry symbol with part of Pokéball. Payout (1x) = 1536 coins.
08: Normal Cherry symbol. Payout (1x) = 6 coins.
09: Fragmented Cherry symbol. Payout (1x) = 6 coins.
0A: Fragmented Cherry symbol with part of Pikachu. Payout (1x) = 2048 coins.
0B: Fragmented Pikachu symbol with part of Cherry. Payout (1x) = 2048 coins.
0C: Normal Pikachu symbol. Payout (1x) = 8 coins.
0D: Fragmented Pikachu symbol with part of Squirtle. Payout (1x) = 8 coins.
0E: Unknown (dialogue "X lined up" not shown). Payout (1x) = 2560 coins.
0F: Unknown (dialogue "X lined up" not shown). Payout (1x) = 2560 coins.
10: Normal Squirtle symbol. Payout (1x) = 10 coins.
11: Fragmented Squirtle symbol. Payout (1x) = 10 coins.
12: Half of squirtle + Half of Staryu symbol. Payout (1x) = 3840 coins. (does not grant coins, game always says "Darn!")
13: Fragmented Staryu symbol with part of Squirtle symbol. Payout (1x) = 3840 coins, (does not grant coins, game always says "Darn!")
14: Normal Staryu symbol. Payout (1x) = 15 coins.
15: Fragmented Staryu symbol. Payout (1x) = 15 coins.
16: Unknown - Game freezes when "X lined up" dialogue should be shown.
17: Unknown - Game is forced into a Glitch Dimension when "X lined up dialogue should be shown.

Possible beta/placeholder symbols (but these do not give valid payouts)
18: Beta Bulbasaur symbol? Payout (1x) = 4385 coins.

I don't have Pokémon Crystal, but there are a ton of Pokémon Crystal codes in the codes archive.
Try these. http://glitchcity.info/wiki/index.php/Pokemon_Crystal_Gameshark_Codes
