    I’d like to mention that while you can’t skip Bill in FRLG (like you can in Gen 1) by trading over a Pokémon that knows Cut, you can still skip the S.S. Anne this way. As a matter of fact, if you do this skip and then return to the S.S. Anne once you can use Surf, you can find yourself a hidden Lava Cookie (a nod to the Gen 1 truck rumor).

    When the games first came out, I had no guide and didn’t know how to get past the Marowak ghost to progress the game. When I used the Poke Doll for the first time, I thought I had found the trick to get past the ghost, and when I tried it, it worked!

      It was probably found using a debugger. Nowadays there’s been a ton of glitches and broken behavior uncovered in the early Pokémon games thanks to the reverse-engineered source code projects. Turns out GameFreak didn’t get much better at coding for Gold Silver and Crystal, but The Pokémon Company got better at testing the games so glitches could be bodged over before normal players found them.
      Like in the Gen 2 games, if you start surfing from a shore tile in one map to a water tile in another, the game fails to load the next map and you can go out of bounds. This wasn’t a problem in Gen 1. It wasn’t discovered until rom hackers started making their own maps, because it had been caught during testing and GameFreak, rather than fixing the bug, just changed any map where that was possible (New Bark Town and Cinnabar Island are big examples).

    The old "any% no save corruption" route used Brock Through Walls to get to Saffron, where you'd then grab an Abra from Celadon, use it to encounter missingno twice to set an item count to 255, underflow your item bag using the glitched item, then use the glitched bag to edit memory and warp to the Hall of Fame. You can beat the game in under 20 minutes using that, but nobody runs it now because people worked out a way to warp to the HoF while still in Viridian Forest and that takes like 11 minutes instead. Gen 1 is cool, because you can completely destroy it in no time at all!

    My favorite thing to do is to use glitches or cheats to obtain the dummy item called ?????, often referred to as the "surfboard". It allows you to use surf without any HM or badge. You can begin the game by surfing south from Pallet without ever obtaining a starter. The game will crash if you get into any battles, but you can still run from wild Pokemon. You can access a large amount of the region and even surf past all the trainers between Fuchsia and Lavender. If you also glitch or cheat in the Poke Flute, you can make it all the way to Celadon and begin the game with the gift Eevee.

    @Legendary0Hero 2 ปีที่แล้ว +339

    The Poke-doll skip is legit one of my favorite glitches, and one that actually improves the game. Gen 1 is already quite a bit more open with its progression post Rock Tunnel, but having another option that's relatively harmless (as you can go do anything you didn't), helps freshen up repeat playthroughs, and even opens up team building a bit more.
    I think there's an interesting discussion to be had about glitches, and if/how they impact the quality of the game. I know Gen 1 has a bad rep for being glitchy as hell-- and it definitely is-- but a lot of the really disruptive glitches are pretty back loaded (usually requiring super specific methods that youd be unlikely to find on your own, like Missingno.), and yet there are glitches like this that can make even casual playthroughs more interesting. It reminds me a lot of Super Mario 64, really.

      It's even more of a shame given Super's myriad of both intended, and unintended sequence breaks, and how those have contributed so much to the endurance of Super's legacy.
      And like, to be fair, from a dev's perspective like.. I get it. I mean, if you're making this thing, trying to curate this very specific experience, driving the players along this very intended path and then they just.. trade over a Bulbasaur and start walking through walls, it can be a bit facepalm-y.
      But, at the same time, I wish sometimes they'd have a bit more foresight with that kind of stuff. Glitches that can hurt the experience and be easily and unintentionally activated are one thing, but something like Backwards Long Jump in SM64-- a new player is *not* going to figure that out, meanwhile it serves to enhance the experience for veterans. The Poke-doll skip is a pretty rare case where it IS very possible that a new player would happen upon it, but the circumstances of the game's design make it pretty harmless.
      Although it wasn't perfect, I do appreciate OoT3D's attempt, where the team would remove any glitches that'd easily damage/corrupt save files, but kept popular skips.

    I thought of a good softlock. I haven't tested it though, due to it taking an extremely unnecessary amount of time, so it's entirely conceptual.
    In a short summary, it's Emerald exclusive and involves trapping the player with a very low level pokemon at very low HP and an Egg in the first E4 chamber, and then forcing said player to activate the Pomeg Glitch to faint their only Pokémon to reveal that the Egg is a high enough level that it can solo a battle with Sidney, which, if my data is correct, should allow them to both receive money and black out to the Center. They can then use the prize money to purchase at least 2 Ultra Balls they can use to catch a Goldeen to teach Surf and a Lairon to teach Strength/Rock Smash.

    Use the drink item to skip the route east of Cerulean. Go through rock tunnel backwards and defeat all the trainers on the skipped route except the first lass. Deposit all your pokemon except a level 100 frozen Venusaur that doesn't know cut. Jump the ledge above the lass and save the game. You're now forced to battle her as you don't have cut to get back to Cerulean City. Her first pokemon is an Oddish that only has status moves and absorb. You can't get statused because you're already frozen and absorb does 0 damage because it's 4x weak and Venusaur has too much special defense. You never defrost and she never runs out of pp so the battle goes on forever.

      I find glitches very interesting. I'm a software dev and I just like thinking about "how does that glitch work?". Like Brock Through Walls is done by setting specific memory values which is why the pokemon needed is so specific (it doesnt actually need to be a bulbasaur, whats needed is a lvl 8 pokemon with moves at that exact PP, so bulbasaur works best early game).

    What I love in FRLG is that they broke something that worked in RGBY - the Nugget Bridge Glitch. In FRLG, lose at the bridge after getting the Nugget. The NPC will keep giving them to you. You can get nearly infinite money this way. In RGBY, they remembered to flag it so the nugget only gets given one time, win or lose.

    There is an alternate way of walking through walls (from fucia city).
    Either put all but one (non-poison type) Pokémon in the PC, or faint all but one (non-poison type) Pokémon
    Get the last remaining Pokémon on your team poisoned (recommended on route 15)
    Enter the safari zone and immediately try to leave. Select "no". This will cause you to be put back into the safari zone area.
    Save and reload.
    Try to leave again. Select "no". This will cause you to be ejected from the safari zone area with the step counter still active, but invisible.
    Save. (Optional, but will help save time if you mess up)
    Walk around, (recommended next to the ledge next to the gym) being careful to not use up all 400 steps, healing (using potions, not antidotes) and saving occasionally.
    Save on step 399, next to a ledge. (To save time in reproducing the glitch if the game crashes)
    Jump off the ledge. (This will cause the attendant to call you back to the safari zone entrance)
    (Saving and reloading beyond this point WILL cancel the glitch)
    Test if it worked by walking onto the attendants desk.
    You will find, you can walk freely around the room. (CAUTION! DO NOT LEAVE THE ROOM)
    Walk around the room until the Pokémon faints. (This will send you back to outside the last Pokémon Centre)
    Walk (or fly) around the overworld freely (Do not get into a battle, as this may cancel the glitch)
    (Some actions, such as walking in front of Blaine's gym without the secret key will cause the glitch to be lost)

      It's the same reason randomizers are so amazing. Once you know all the ins and outs of a game it becomes predictable. Doesn't mean it can't be fun to replay, but they just bring so much life to the game. You can get a broken item in your first chest, or a late game upgrade. Plenty of things you'd ignore for only having junk items are suddenly valuable, and every chest has the possibility of being super disppointing or super amazing.

      I've done a speedrun of that route. It's pretty funny all things considered. Very outdated of course, considering what we have now, but still, nice to see. I think the current route is like Brock through Walls, go to Cerulean Cave and encounter a Ditto, then do Cooltrainer?
      I've also done a non BtW run using Item Overflow, which is neat too. Way back when I was theorycrafting, I stipulated that a run using Item Overflow and BtW could reach around the 12-13 mark I believe it was. Execution and luck required is no fun though, but what can you do. Oh, and segmented runs 4Life.

    You don't have to backtrack after using Brock Through Walls. As long as the last place you healed at was either Pewter City or Viridian City, you can either use an Escape Rope or intentionally lose a battle to get sent back. Also, as an additional tip, since Pokemon don't get healed when stored in the PC in Gen I, you can deposit the Bulbasaur in case you want to use it again and don't want to go through the hassle of lowering the PP of its moves to the right numbers every time.

Did the glitch several years ago. That Bulbasaur setup alone was insane, especially when you had to do the level underflow glitch and get a Nidoking in Viridian Forrest (also via glitch) to even stand a shot with the Elite Four.
