Walking out of bounds in Crystal...

GameShark code for walk through walls, crystal only:
9100FAC2
9100FBC2
9100FCC2
9100FDC2 As far as I know, there is no way to walk through walls without a cheat in crystal, and there almost certainly is no way to do it at the start of the game. Although on a side note, I don't know why crystal codes all start with "91" rather than the normal "01". When I type them in, it works fine either way.
Here's the first thing to note: Unlike in gold and silver, walking out of bounds out of your house by walking down does NOT crash the game. It does if you head left, and I think it might if you head right, and heading up takes you to a different place.
Note: These videos are slightly loud. Not too loud, but lower your volume slightly. My recording settings must have changed.
Here is a video of the first kind of look. I did not get my Phone or anything else. (The time is offset because for whatever reason, I included starting a new game… Don't ask why…)
The second time, I collect the phone. The map changes slightly. (Most noticeable with the platforms at the end). In addition, that random collision zone at the "Top" (or bottom?) changed. Which is queer. I also uploaded a second video on this, but I have no idea why. It does show the bag corruption occurring on entering this map though.
Even weirder is the fact that I made a video for getting the map card but no phone. This is the only video of mine that has a description, which states only "Basicly to show this off. There is more to this.". I wish I documented my findings better.
Looking further back at my videos, I find that a lot of them have broken sound. Looks like a cable broke without me knowing. Or youtube broke without me knowing. Although I have a ton of savestates.
I came across a set of older videos of crystal. These ones are overdocumented…
In most of them, I walk out of bounds down, then out of bounds up, then out of bounds down until the game crashes. At that point, I keep moving until I get a glitch message like this one.
A Pokémon named ?, learning ??????????????????????.... It seems that a Pokémon like this learns a lot of moves when I step out of bounds. Maybe the out of bounds creates this Pokémon. I'll need to watch for memory corruption, although there definitely is some (as seen by the bag).
And then another time, it opens the stats menu of a charmeleon named BBBBBBQRRRQW. Interestingly, this Pokémon shares the moveset of the earlier ?; and also, it has an OT of ?. It may be default data, or it may be corrupted. But the commonness of ? is interesting.
I remember the context of this one: I loaded a savestate to try some more stuff, and then I received a phone call. But not from anyone I recognized; instead, it filled the screen with question marks.
And then there is this video. I have no idea what exactly happened around here. All I know for sure is that a trainer of the class "A double kick" is stalking me. And according to the description, the associated save state is gone now. I have no idea how.
Any comments on what is going on here? This was a lengthy post, and it is more for documenting these events than anything else. But it is weird. And the variety of effects I was getting is interesting too.
Oh yes, I remembered a few other things. First off, those glitch messages can appear in other places, along with audio corruption. Here is actually one that is kind of creepy, when combined with the corrupted music.
And another thing I remembered: That glitch city is a secret passage. I'm going to upload a video for this.
[20 minutes later]
I made a 20 minute video. Yay. So much for concise. I did too many interesting things. I just recorded second, 2-minuite video. So that will be uploaded first, and then my long adventures in pointlessnessland will be uploaded.
The 2-minute video will be here.
The longer one will be here. Note that there are some flashing lights due to the game being weird.
Generally, these effects are interesting. No idea if they are useful at all. They definitely relate to "No Windows Avali-able for popping", though.
