Tweaking

The squares which are bordered by loadlines on 2 sides are named as follows: Top left:1, Top right:2, Bottom left:3, Bottom right:4. This is the generally accepted way to show a tweaking pattern. The infamous tweak in Jubilife that allows you to enter the void and get Darkrai/Shaymin will be my example for this. The necessary steps in the pattern would be: 2, 4, 3, 4, 3, ridden on the highest ear of you bike at full speed. (Many videos for this have 2 extraneous steps at the beginning, their only purpose is to gain speed) The result of this tweak is to load a section of route 203 into the western section of Jubilife, minus its graphics. This result is called an Opposite Tweak.
The other, easier to produce result is shown in this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF_zb1wi3BU. It is called a diagonal displacement, is done on the lower bike gear, and is generally visible. It is called a diagonal displacement because it displaces an area northwest of you to northeast of you.
In Platinum, doing the diagonal displacement pattern on the bike's highest gear will sometimes produce very odd results. In one of these, shown here, the Z axis is changed so drastically that the screen goes black. The last area in which you have refreshed the graphics appears to have an effect on the results of these tweaks, and especially on whether they freeze or not. The basic result of this pattern is a visible Opposite Tweak. Fastbiking this pattern rarely works in Diamond/Pearl.
I'm going to post a bit on the void glitch later as well. ^^
