ZZAZZ Glitch

Basically, the ZZAZZ glitch is what occurs when you encounter a glitch Trainer by using HEX 251, 252, 254, or 255 in the Mew Glitch. You encounter a glitch trainer that turns all of your Pok?mon into Level 153 Bulbasaurs with Explosion, and some of the letters in your name are replaced with Z's, hence the "ZZAZZ" that I got. You can't fight this Trainer, because the game freezes if you attack. However, there is a way to escape the battle with your Pok?mon turned into Bulbasaurs. Use an item (Any item will do) and the battle will mysteriously end. You'll be left with a team of exploding Bulbasaurs. Of course, if you save after performing this glitch, your game is erased. Therefore, it's kind of pointless.

BTW, there's a pattern to this glitch: Bulbasaur is HEX 153, Explosion is HEX 153, the letter Z is HEX 153, and the Bulbasaurs are Level 153. The glitch just sets all of the game's variables to HEX 153."


I'm Restating what was said long ago. I will post pictures and more information soon. If someone else wants to then they should feel free.

Though it does say every Pokemon, the 3rd pokemon always survives for some reason, as does the 3rd letter of your name. And Every 3rd Move

3 is the magic Number.

Hey, it's ACE91's, and he's been a part of GCL since it was called just "Glitch City" (back in 2005), so I think we're just free to take it.

Also, who's idea was "Article Submissions"?

theres also the fact that bulbasaur is #001 in the pokedex, maybe that has somthing to do with why this glitch occurs

It is to do with the fact that Z, 153 and Bulbasaur are the same.

So I do think that this is approved. If I'm wrong then please correct me.

What makes ZZAZZ change most values to 153 anyway
