Glitch City Laboratories Archives

Well first off, thanks Torchickens for the videos. Since you were wondering, I discovered the summary overload trick.  ;)

Voltage: after research last night, I can confirm that the cloning trick does indeed work on FR/LG!  :D The only difference is that your Pokémon will be healed in the center afterwards. Looking for the correct switch option is very difficult and probably brings you to about the 90th up-press or so.

I must admit I was previously mistaken about the seemingly benign nature of FR/LG's data beyond the sixth slot. While perhaps those Pokémon up until the 40th slot or so give no damaging effects, there are numerous instances of more interesting specimens.  :D


Here's a bunch of stuff I discovered last night:

-From one test only (this is liable to change), the 141th slot is the final accessible slot, causing a freeze when passed.

-With high enough slots, the same messages as in Emerald are produced: "An EGG can't battle!" and "Bad EGG has no energy for battle!"

-Some Pokémon in very high slots produce this message when attempted to be switched in: "      1    has no energy" Proceeding to then scroll upwards leads you directly to the cancel button.

-One most interesting example I found was the slot that gave this message: "  ÁÁ  has no energy left for battle!" Accessing the summary screen of this Pokémon (of "ÁÁ") gave a very volatile freeze. Extremely glitchy graphics and the usual freeze sound.

I feel that it is partially randomized.  I haven't done many tests, but it changes.  It does remain the same if you exit and reopen the stats menu, but not if you leave the battle (to the best of my knowledge)

I'm going to have to predict that the changed names are just a side-effect.  The volatile freeze and the name were separate.  I've seen Decamarks with different names, such as .  They seem to randomize.  In addition, stats randomize as well.  Most of them are 0. 

Congratulations, everyone. Today we can finally say that the Pomeg glitch can damage your game.  :)

I'll be sure to test this on my FireRed then when I have time later.

Also, Torchickens, you might want to alert your viewers to this potential catastrophe.  ;)

[li]After using the move, look at your Party Screen and exit out. You will now be in another battle setting.[/li]
[li]Once, it changed it so I was in the Battle Frontier Facility where they judge you. (forget what it's called)[/li]
[li]One time, it crashed the game.[/li]

[li]The move name is apparently "a DRAGON move" (possible placeholder?)[/li]
[li]It always keeps missing, except one time where it put the foe asleep. Unfortunately, the battle animations were off so I don't know what it was really using.[/li]
