Invalid money division discrepancy

The invalid money division discrepancy refers to an inconsistency for dividing glitch money values in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow between the cartridge and Virtual Console versions.

Example

The value hex:11F0C6 would be displayed as 11[bad tile]0[bad tile]6 Pokédollars on the Trainer Card in both Game Boy and VC RBY.

When halved on a Game Boy it becomes 5[bad tile]563, but when halved on the Nintendo 3DS it becomes 54483.

Speedrunning

For the catch 'em all category of Pokémon Red and Blue, speedrun.com have listed the following in the rules addressing the discrepancy:

"The 3DS Virtual Console version is not allowed due to an error in how money manipulation is emulated."
