Error Error

é [glow=lightblue,2,300]  [/glow]  [upper corner of text box] 4  error.

That is the message I got when walking into the Viriden PokéMart.

This is what happened -

I had been playing my blue save in a yellow game using the BrainBoy.
I went into the Viriden PokéMart to buy some stuff and then the error error
came up on the screen. My guy walked up to the counter and the shop keeper
dissapered. A text box came up that read something with jumbled text and
1s followed by a black block (repeated over and over) and then grass showed up.
I sat there with the music playing - it was a combo of the Eliete 4 and Rocket's hideout -
and all of a sudden the sound goes *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep* 
I looked at the screen and I saw my guy had vanished too. Then small line appeared where the shop
keeper was and slowly moved to where my guy was standing. When the reached the
invisabe me the game crashed and the screen when blank.

I think that happened because -
* there was no error set for the error I got and
* the game was trying to give me another oak's package.

Could you tell me exactly what cheat codes you used so I can reproduce this?

What I did was took the brainboy and backed up my Blue saved game.
I then went and restored the Blue game on a Yellow gamepack.
I had beat the Eliete 4 (with a team of glitches) and recieved all badges using the brainboy before transferring my game.

Plus, I had gotten Oak's package (in blue) using the brainboy's create item
- I think that might have done it.

Unfortunately, Visual Boy Advance cannot emulate Brain Boy, so I am unable to study this. Therefore I am neutral here; Ace and Parasite can decide what to do with this.

I went back to study it - you don't need a brainboy.

This is how you do the error error -

1. Start a new Yellow game

2. once you get into your room at the start, cheat to get a Oak's Package

3. Continue game until you have gotten your Pikachu

4. Battle Gary lose or win - It dosen't matter

5. Talk to Oak (without leaving his lab) - he will take the package

6. Go to Virden town and then into the PokeMart -
                  you get the error error.

(I think the game is trying to give you a nonexitent item)

I'll okay it. This glitch might be able to be further exploited.

How do you cheat to get the package without using BrainBoy?

How could that be done?

so it might be, like, 500124 error, since glitched dymbols usually represent a high number not representable in the limit?

I am not sure if error messages are displayed through text or hex numbers, or if they have more than 1 hex number. They might be similar to the money number format, where they use decimal values instead of hexdecimal values.

0 error is fun and sounds weird as you walk

You buy pokeballs and go to the pokemon center and heal while you are doing the ditto trick!

Also on Red or blue, if you try and run from Oak at the start of the game when you need to choose a pokemon enough it glitches and you and oak and other items dissapear and if you pause it says "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

More Errors that are not at all about the 4 error
