On a slightly unrelated note I noticed that Pal Park didn't label the Caterpie perfect initiator holding a glitch item as invalid. I didn't choose to migrate it, but it makes me wonder whether transferring 0x1C7 (Azure Flute) is in fact possible and if that would work for obtaining Arceus in Diamond/Pearl?

This will not work. You need to set the correct flag via ACE in gen 4 or getting it from a PokéMart. Getting just the item will not do anything.

I see, like with the Generation III tickets then. Thanks.

Awwww, now it's just getting a decent moveset.
Wait, maybe you can glitch FR\LG with this parcel a bit, attempt trading it over, then grabbing the parcel, and try to give it to Oak. I want to see what happens.

Just going to show off my baby, aww.

It feels so much better getting success on cartridge.

EVs on Dots were:

1 Speed
93 Defense
251 HP
0 Attack

And it underwent a double corruption so I could get the Oak's Parcel.

Related to the invalid genders, I see some sort of a pattern, lots of effects repeat or are the May/Leaf variant of these.

I was also curious about transferring Glitch Items to Colosseum/XD in order to get some Rare Items inherent to these versions (if one of them could be useful in a certain way).

Glitch Moves can all go through Pal Park, but no Glitch Pokémon can (theoretically, based on what I tried).

I'd love to see some examples, if you get a chance.

I did some testing years ago on console to try and exploit some glitches, but XD: Gale of Darkness is reeeally tough to glitch. As it happens, I didn't specifically manage to test glitch items as I hadn't yet figured out how to obtain them by that stage, but judging from the results I found (in the link), they would either disappear on arrival into XD or be invalid/unable to be traded, etc. http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6868.msg195390#msg195390

EDIT: As it turns out, I in fact did try send a glitch item (????????/"Octomarks") to XD: Gale of Darkness. It was indeed unable to be traded. http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6868.msg195057#msg195057

There's one thing I keep meaning to say every time I read all of your descriptions: a better translation for 'exemplaire' in English would be 'copy' - e.g. 'a copy of item X'. Otherwise, everything else is always easy to understand - and thanks so much for going to all of this incredible effort.  ;)

Also, now that I went through my old posts looking for my research on XD: Gale of Darkness, I found this old thread of mine. Seeing as you now know almost all there is to know about glitch decorations, is there anything more you could say about this Japanese-exclusive glitch? http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=7006

And another thing, has anybody tested this (hatching 19C from a corrupted Egg)? Just realised that I'm still kinda curious about it after two years.  :P http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6868.msg195578#msg195578

And finally, I don't know if this is relevant to anyone, but in case you weren't aware, it's possible to send Pokemon with glitch moves from Emerald to Ruby/Sapphire (without the game crashing during the trade) by bypassing the trade altogether via Pokemon Box: Ruby & Sapphire. As far as I know, there may well by now be a better method of avoiding those crashes, but I figure it's worth throwing out there. 8) http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6868.msg195747#msg195747

Yeah. :) Sadly you're not allowed to trade until you've received the Pokédex (according to Bulbapedia), but would like to see if having it on FireRed/LeafGreen can cause anything else to happen after you've delivered it.

Aha, I getcha, so it's like the 'Guess Who?' glitch via the Slateport Fan Club Reporter. Do any of the glitch genders cause any other adverse effects apart from crashing?

Thanks for the language correction. I thought that "exemplary" was more adapted to the situation, but I'll go with 'copy' now.
At first, I was writing some procedures in French then translating them in english, but it turned out to be easier to start in english and then go back to french. I also have many things only written in english now, and a part of my viewers ask me for a french translation :p (I made a huge file for that but it's still a work in progress).

Glitch Decorations have this annoying habit of screwing the camera, making you oftenly unable to exit the secret base. They also don't have a sprite (when placed somewhere, you can't find them unless you use the PC in "Deposit mode"), and all the ones that I could place (some couldn't) and that allowed me to leave the secret base didn't seem to have any kind of interaction (Holding A when facing the decoration didn't do anything).

Some glitch decorations may have an interesting interaction (I don't know how the game manages that.), and we may be able to place them in a secret base with ACE. (I couldn't find where and how placed decorations where managed, unfortunately), this is still unknown.

Many thanks for making me learn that glitch moves couldn't be traded to RS with normal trades (even if it's a hindrance) as I thought that it was possible.
This means that only strings of 24 bytes can be written safely on a Pokémon (overwriting Miscellanous and EVs substructures) to be traded to RS with normal trades.

Regarding Pokémon 0x19C (Egg), the Egg of an Egg hatches into an Egg.
You can even do Eggs of your Egg with Eggs, and they will hatch into more Eggs.

I ended up with Egg multiple times when playing with AR codes when I was a kid (mainly because I was using codes for US versions on a French one and without an Anti-DMA) and I played a bit with them (even though they are weak as hell).
I screwed one of my files by breeding an Egg and something, and obtaining an Egg that crashed my game during the hatching sequence. The issue was that the Egg only needed a few steps to hatch, and even by flying to a Pokémon center I couldn't reach the PC without hatching the Egg.
Thus, I was forced to start a new file. I think I lost 3 Emerald, 3 Fr and 1 Lg files due to AR (the last one is a save tranfer issue, the others are idiotic code uses).

Well, if getting attacked by birds after using Fly counts…

I'm curious as to why you find it easier, actually. Do you live in a French-speaking country at the moment, or would you mostly use English in your day-to-day life? I speak some French, Spanish and Irish (not as well as your English) but I don't think I would ever be able to use any of them over English if I had to describe something in detail to people.  :P

Oh, one small thing I just remembered is that 'identifier' rather than 'identifiant' would be better.

I've managed to obtain one in Emerald, but of course I can't remember the very glitchy name, and I don't have my Pokemon games with me until I go back to Ireland in June.  :)

Just like you said, it was invisible and adjusted the camera (I was able to see like 8 tiles further into the void than normal), but didn't do anything important.

What kind of interesting interaction?

Had you tried to trade between R/S and Emerald on an emulator before?

So in some cases, it's just a neverending loop of the same type of Egg hatching from the same type of Egg after the same amount of steps?

And you can breed this type of Egg (with a Ditto, I'm assuming)? That's honestly hilarious.
