Hey everyone. So I'm new to the forums, but I've got some experience with hacking/breaking the first gen of Pokemon games.

When I was in college, for a few months I sorta took up Gameboy programming as a hobby. Then I found the Pokemon Red disassembly on github and used that to do some ROMhacking. But at the time I was more of a lurker, so I didn't share anything I did anywhere. Then I gradually lost interest, but I still have all the notes and code I made from back then.

So now I'm decently familiar with the Gameboy CPU and the structure of Pokemon RBY, and I really enjoy digging into those games, experimenting, figuring out why unintended behavior happens. It amazes me that we can still find new stuff about these games almost 20 years later.

All hail the Legendary 8F and his follower, the Coin Case.
If you're in ACE things, there is 3rd gen ACE currently getting the final polishes, and 4th gen is in the scope.

Welcome to GCL ! Because the world isn't large enough, we need to glitch more out of it.

Other than headaches and loss of control (and/or depending what you're losing control of), these effects seem pretty desirable to me.

Loss of control in this case could relate to three things:
1. Seizure
2. Stroke
3. Loss of control over your game
