IIRC the items with index >=$80 have the same effects as their <$80 counterparts. So item $81 works like a Master Ball, and it's unusable in the overworld. "Rival's effect" is caused by using >=$80 counterparts of items that open the party menu (e.g. Rival's is the counterpart of Water Stone). Do note that Super Glitch effect is triggered when the Use/Toss menu is opened, not when using the item.

Yeah, I'm well aware of that, but thanks anyway. Additionally it is triggered when you try to sell the item.

I also looked into it before and found that the first 20 letters of its name are copied to a buffer and you get a buffer overflow when bytes are copied to $CF4B when there is no 50, just like CoolTrainer.

Yes, TheZZAZZGlitch discussed this when he explained why a certain glitch item didn't execute arbitrary code from a certain location. But I didn't know the Rival's effect = Pokémon menu item +80 relationship. That's useful to know.

Hello there,

Not sure if this is the place where I should say this, but here it goes:

When playing Pokémon Red, and battling Koga in Fuschia's city's Gym, I was battling his Weezing, having 6 pokémon, but only 1 (Pidgeotto) not fainted. Weezing used selfdestruct, I pressed B, and while his Weezing exploded and fainted, my Pidgeotto remained intact and I did not lose the battle.

Don't know if this is a glitch, but this fact sure happened to me, so please check it out and if it is possible. Thank you.

Best regards,
Pokemaniaco

One bug that occurs for me any way is that when I press submit changes the page goes blank, but the changes have been submited, I think, they atleast show up in the recent changes so I guess they do. Could someone fix this please :)

This isn't a bug, but I just wanted to say your site is PERFECT in DSi Column View, but it shows ALL of the sidebar FIRST, so it's not entirely perfect…

I reran mediawiki's maintenance script for rebuilding the search index so now search should work properly.

For GlitchDex, the sound frames show an error page which say, that the site doesn't has content yet.

The news "News: Report any bugs you find on the WIKI in this topic." points to http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6361.0.html , which is a 500 Internal Server Error :D
It should point to http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6361.0.html , I guess ?

I know this is double-posting, but this bug is completely unrelated to the previous.

While here, I found

Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory

Error code: 127

in the Thumbnail column of the table.

EDIT : Fixed (http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6361.msg203025#msg203025)

That's because of the server migration, which changed how the links are bulid, this affected the redirect to the forum rule list as well. Please fix this senpai.

Yep, I knew about server migration, but it's sad that the old syntax existed (it used deprecated URL syntax :/)

Also 100% unrelated, so yay for postingposting (double-posting, lol4punz)

The GlitchDex extension seems to be broken ; this page :
fails to display h Poké 's ID
Identifier: {dec} ({hex})

has a mistake on his family :
GENGAR HYBRID")

has a blank "Cry" box,
states that it can only be obtained via cheating, even though there's ACE :
This glitch Pokémon is obtainable with a cheating device only. Consult our list of Pokémon Gameshark Codes.

and has empty "moves" boxes.

I don't try to blame / flame anyone since the rest seems to work well, but it doesn't work.

I also have some presentation suggestions, but this topic seems inappropriate.

[EDIT]
Also, the "Method of obtaining" box is wrong, even though the "Other info" box is right :
Method of Obtaining
This glitch Pokémon is obtainable with a cheating device only. Consult our list of Pokémon Gameshark Codes.

Obtain: RB:195 can be obtained through the Ditto Trick using a Pokémon with a Special stat of 195.


The "Evolution" box displays "{evolve}", yeeeeet the info in the "Other info" box is right.

Also, the info is redundant in the "Other info" boxes. That's not a bug, though.

Plus, clicking on any ID in the main page leads to the same page.

Also, it's funny that it tells you:

,
but it also tells you:
Obtain: RB:195 can be obtained through the Ditto Trick using a Pokémon with a Special stat of 195.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE!!!
Oh, and here's the page's code, looks like intended:
'''h Poke (GENGAR HYBRID)'''
'''Dec: 195'''
'''Hex: C3'''

'''Stats Lv.5:''' Atk 12, Def 11, Spd 16, Spc 19, HP 21

'''Stats Lv.100:''' Atk 161, Def 133, Spd 239, Spc 289, HP 246

'''Stats Lv.255:''' Atk 392, Def 351, Spd 627, Spc 678, HP 611

'''Attacks:''' Lick, Confuse Ray, Night Shade, HM02 (Lv., Conversion (Lv.17), Pound (Lv.104), TM24 (Lv.175), Tackle (Lv.186), Pound (Lv.195), Super Glitch (Lv.205)
Type: Ghost/Poison

'''Evolution?''' Gloom @ Lv.225

'''Obtain:''' RB:195 can be obtained through the [[Ditto Trick]] using a Pokémon with a Special stat of 195.
'''
Yellow Equivalent:''' Z4

'''Notes:''' Pokedex freezes game

RB:195's Pokédex screen freezes the game. To get around this, Gengar's entry must be in the player's Pokédex. Because RB:195 is a Gengar hybrid, the presence of Gengar in the Pokédex causes the game to skip displaying RB:195's Pokédex screen.

At last, it fails to display 4 4's types (they display as {type1}and {type2} respectively), for now I tried to fix it by changing the "{glitchedtype}" to just "Glitch" maybe that's the problem? Well, I failed. Changing this one word destroyed the whole page, now the extension doesn't even work, trying to revert back to the stable version. Well, I think I've killed it, even reverting back doesn't work.

This affects every GlitchDex entry, here are the screenshots of both h POKé and 4 4s pages. I seem to (again) have issues with uploading the images (even Imgur doesn't want to cooperate), I'll ask ISSOtm to upload these here.

Someone added wiki formatting to that page which broke the parser. I reverted that change.
