@@domdude64dd that's fair, I used to do the gen 2 box switch cloning A LOT as a kid, so I kinda got numbed to the potential risk, until one day I accidentally "reverse cloned" my E4 team in Emerald and lost my Breloom and Walrein... Oops
4:12 The cloning glitch in the Battle Tower can be tweaked to make it easier for item duplication. Instead of cloning the Pokémon along with the item, you can just duplicate the item. All you have to do is essentially the same thing with the item as you do with the Pokémon. Just give the Pokémon in the PC the items you want to clone, exit and save, withdraw the items, then speak to the lady. Reset and there you go, duplicated items without duplicating the Pokémon itself. It’ll save a lot of time when you decide to release the Pokémon you cloned. You’ll be able to just clone the items without cloning Pokémon.
The game isn't set up to handle negative HP, so when it goes to -1, it wraps around to 65535. When you take damage it slooooooowly drops back to your actual maximum. The reason for the wraparound requires some understanding of computer science, but the gist of it is that negative numbers and very large positive numbers look the same in binary and it's up to the program to decide whether this number is allowed to be negative or not. (The term is "integer underflow")
This video just appeared on my recommended. Normally I dont watch pokemon videos, glitch comps have always had my interest. This was one of the first videos Ive sat through 30+ mins without getting bored. Everything from the music volume to the jokes and dialogue were perfect. Keep it up
Thank you very much, I'm glad to hear that. Good to know the music's at a good level too, I usually re-render all my videos 3-4 times just to adjust audio levels cause they never feel good enough
So with the dupe glitch you can clone entire boxes worth of items without making excess clones. The link battle lady also saves your current bag so using this, give items to your pokemon in the PC, save the game, take the items back, do the dupe, go back to the PC and take your cloned items.
Missed the mail glitch in ruby/sapphire. By using thief on your own mail-holding pokemon in a double battle you can equip more than 6 slots of mail on your party. This lets you duplicate items even in ruby/sapphire. It also causes very minor tile corruption in the overworld, but nothing gamebreaking. In firered/leafgreen and emerald you can no longer use thief to steal mail. In fact, most methods to steal mail were patched, so trick or covet won't work either. The only way in those games to do the mail glitch is to use another glitch involving knock-off + recycle to override your held mail. Sadly the move recycle is completely unavailable in pokemon emerald as only porygon and mr mime learn it. (maybe you can use the move sketch to get it from a trainer or battle frontier pokemon in emerald, but since you have glitzer popping and the dupe glitch in emerald already you don't really need the mail glitch). Anyway, in firered and leafgreen the mail glitch has a different effect compared to ruby/sapphire. In fr/lg you can also use it to duplicate items, but additionally, instead of causing minor tile corruption, it messes with the data in the boxes. This allows you to use arbitrary code execution in fr/lg. With this you can kinda do anything, if somebody bothered to write a code for it (the codes are input by using the names of your boxes). For example get ho-oh/lugia/deoxys events.
4:00 the worker probably no longer is recognized as the NPC ID thats assigned to move in the script after changing maps. I'd have to look at the script to be sure but when you enter a new map the NPCs are loaded again, and so the game can't find the NPC to move. You can still talk to the worker though because it doesn't need to reference the NPC ID, just the script attached to the NPC. My guess for the text box moving up is that the slide out animation just moves the entire canvas for UI text. I bet if you had the menu open that would slide back too. The title card disappears after the animation completes, but not the text box, which is why it snaps back - it resets back to the initial position. Interesting find though. Most given item events operate similarly with the Bag is full message. Maybe similar glitches can occur elsewhere.
This was a well-made glitch video because you tested a lot of questions I had about what you could do while in the glitched state. You didn't just show us how to get into the glitch.
damn, the battle tower dupe glitch was so fun. I was the only one in our friend group/neighborhood eho knew how to do it and cloned all their pokemons and items. Good times. If i remember correctly, it was even possible to clone a full box at once
It’s worth noting that an extension of the Emerald Cloning Glitch is you can also take items from Pokemon in other boxes and these will also be duplicated, being held by the boxed Pokemon and also in your bag (meaning you can mass duplicate items such as rare candies). This is because the game saves the Pokémon in the player's party along with other data such as planted berries and Day Care Pokémon, but not those in the PC, so anything you interact with in the PC will remain. I just wanted to mention this as few videos mention this detail.
IN THE EMERALD DUPLICATION GLITCH There is another way to efficiently duplicate items. It uses the same mechanics of save timings as the mon duplication but some changes include: 1. Leave a box or two boxes full of 30 mons 2. Assign them a hold item 3. Save the game 4. Withdraw the items from all the 30 pokemon in the box 5. Trigger the glitch by talking to the npc and then reset. Once you go back in game to check your PC, the pokemon in the boxes will be holding the items, but the other items will be in your bag. This is the more effective way of duplicating BOOST items such as Calcium, PP UP, Rare Candy .. and some other items such as Master Balls.
Gen 3 was the best looking and most iconic however gen 4-5 had better stories and music. gen 6 was the easiest, gen 2 was the biggest improvement and gen 1 was the most replayable.
Regarding riding a bicycle in sand, it's easier when you're a ten year old because you are smaller and your bike is probably also smaller so you apply a lot less pressure and don't sink into the sand nearly as readily. Also, it depends on the condition and texture of the sand as well as the tires of the bicycle, which given the amount of off-roading you do in Pokemon, I think it's safe to assume they are outfitted for varied terrain.
There’s a glitch to get swords dance on shedinja. Shedinja copies ninjask’s moveset, so if you wait until level 25 to evolve nincada and teach swords dance, that’s the only way to get swords dance shedinja. It cannot learn it with TM.
It's incredible how some of these bugs can completely change the way we experience the games, like duplicating Pokémon or exploring out of bounds. Special shoutout to the Decamark glitch-it's both eerie and captivating to see how the game reacts to these exploits. I really loved the mix of technical explanations and fun demonstrations; you can tell you genuinely enjoyed exploring these anomalies. This is a true gem for nostalgic fans like me, and it makes me want to revisit these games with a totally different perspective. Out of all these glitches, which one is your favorite or surprised you the most? And do you think other generations have glitches that are just as creative? 👾
Hey, thanks for the kind words! They keep me motivated to keep making these things :) Think I gotta go with the Decamark glitch too, it's just so limitless, I feel like people will constantly make new discoveries with it! I know firsthand Diamond and Pearl has the tweaking glitch (which I've made a video on too). That one holds a special place in my heart as it was one of the first glitches that really got me into all this! I don't think the newer games have glitches as crazy as these, but maybe we just haven't found them yet...
Pay day glitch makes sense. Meowth really did pick up $250. It doubles when it enters your inventory. But until you touch it, it's the value meowth pick up!
hey! i remember that dupe glitch from gen 2! i remember thinking it was some schoolyard hogwash at the time, but then my friend showed me on his gameboy and i was floored. it was nearly the same sequence too. deposit a pokemon in the pc and initiate an unconventional save. in emerald's case it's the battle tower. but in gen 2 the game saves when switching boxes because old lol. and when it says SAVING DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER! you switch off the game _right_ when the text finishes. then when you load your save, you have whatever was deposited in the first box both in the box and in your party still!
Do the currents affect anything when you walk on them or do they do nothing? I always hate exploring those routes but if I can just walk on the water and not be affected, that'd make things a lot easier
Gotta ask, with the catching trainer pokemon glitch, after KO'ing the Latios, can you still encounter/capture it again (equally, being able to set the glitch up as many times as you wish) as i think Gen3 still had the rules that a KO'd legendary/roaming was dead for good but i could be wrong.
good question, no you wouldn’t be able to encounter them again. Legendaries only started respawning in gen 4 so I guess you would have to pick whether you want the latios or a trainer’s pokemon. I probably should’ve mentioned it in the video, but I forgot they don’t respawn in the older games
@@CWillyHD oh okay, still, could be useful as Latios/Latias wasn't banned from battle towers so you could by chance find a trainer with one/both, certainly would be useful for someone with a singular version or who already has the roaming as just wants to grab a few easy lv100's. Still, great video, it was really interesting to see.
26:36 i assume that's due to an overflow. you know of 256 being an overflow but other numbers can act like that, the one I think being used as the maximum of a 16-bit signed integer, being 32,767. unsigned it'd be 65,535 but for some reason damage must have included calcs for negative numbers?
For the Dewford Gym sand animation glitch, it's probably not actually a glitch at all. The animation of footprints in sand supersedes all other visual data on a tile, so the footprints would be placed on top of the gym wall itself, not on the sand with the gym wall on top of it. It was very likely an intentional choice to make those unique tiles simply not do the footprint animation and avoid this problem altogether.
@@CWillyHD Use move items option on computer. Then remove held items from pokemons which are stored in computer. You can do this with as many pokemons you want. I duped hundreds of rare candies at once as kid. The rest of duping glith is exactly same as while duping pokemons. Register as in open level and restart withour properly saving. As a result every removed items will be duped. I figured this out myself as a kid. It worked with pokemons, and it worked with items too.
more commentary on this! i did some experimenting and it seems that you can use the pokemon storage system (LANETTE'S PC) for this glitch, but not the item storage (PLAYERNAME'S PC). a similar risk to depositing pokemon at the wrong time exists for items as well. it seems like the game saves the pokemon storage system when you save in front of the PC, and saves your items and party passively when you talk to the clerk. i wonder why it works differently for the item storage; is it stored in the same location in memory as the bag, or perhaps are held items saved as an attribute of a pokemon whereas bag items are saved differently? im curious if anyone familiar with code has a clue what's going on here.
20:29 when u fight a trainer the data about that trainer remain in ram and it "flushes" when u start another trainer battle, Nintendo handle it really bad imo, but somehow i really appreciate those glitches.
Maybe that water current glitch is a thing because it looks like the new route transition line could allow for you to be fishing on route 134, but fishing on a 133 tile, causing some weirdness in the caught Pokémon's info? So maybe it just pushes you off that only viable tile to avoid it. But then again why not jsut make the island a perfect rectangle and avoid it entirely, idunno.
4:52 ohhhhh so that's why. I did this countless times in my original copy of Emerald, but one day I realised I lost a magneton, it wasn't in the daycare, i didn't tranfer it to gen 4, and I didn't imagien having one because it was registered in the hall of fame, so i probably lost it because I put it in a box right before doing the glitch, it makes sense
Emerald item cloning can be done by withdrawing only items and not any pokémon. The “Move Items” feature. I have 200 rare candies and 50 or so PP ups and Master Balls from doing this. Pretty short and easy process once you have a full box set up with the item you need to dupe on a regular basis.
I have a level 81 smeargle with full PP on spore, false swipe, body slam, and milk drink, and it wasn’t through hard work… Cloned him and sent him to gen 4 as well
The meowth one is because when you defeat a player. It says they gave you this or you earned this money. But because meowth is picking it up, it doesn't display that. When it should be saying both.
When i was a child i accidentally found out about a glitch i never saw anywhere. I could walk on water before the second batch and catched a tentacool at level 35. It only worked on my Saphire edition but not on my Friends ruby
Can you use Mean Look on the Roaming Pokemon to Catch it. Imagine a Shiny Sceptile from Battle Tower in a Dive Ball. I think someone Caught a Shiny Swampert in R/S using this glitch
honestly just gotta find an internet archive or some other website that offers it for download. Then just follow the rest of the steps. Sorry, I don't think I'll be making another video on it. Nintendo took Citra down for a reason, so I'm just glad they didn't completely take my video down (yet....)
can someone please answer me this one thing thats bugged me for years about emerald. My brother took my game for about 20 seconds(Been playing for like 10 mins so fresh game, ( He didnt own any Action replays so im baffled even more by what happened) i was JUST leaving oldale town on my way to petalburg, but just a few steps outside of oldale is when my brother took my game off me, turned around, did some secret stuffs and when he gave me the game back I had an old rod? Anyone know wtf he did and how he got me a magikarp aswell? cause im baffled to this day still and i KNOW he didnt have an AR, any help is awesome!
The game actually does seem to save everything but the pc. Not "the party, bag, and nothing else." So it won't let you repeat move tutors for example, or dupe battle points, or even abuse item storage *on* the pc. Also you didn't mention that you can withdraw items en masse from the pokemon holding them in the pc to dupe the items directly, allowing you to just carpet bomb withdraw held items from entire boxes of pokemon, getting stacks of rare candy, ppmax, vitamins, ev berries, every tm. Whatever. Figured that out as a kid. It's more or less the predecessor to gen 4's normal vs "a lot of data" saves. Turns out most of what needs to be saved is data in the pc which they learned they could cut on save times by skipping. I guess that prototype was in front of us all along.
I don't think the 256 thing is coincidental. It's also the total number of possible combinations when writing binary code. The 256th one would be the reset point, as it would be "00000000", which doesn't match up to any character.
Just for accuracy's sake: 255 is the maximum value of an 8-bit (1 byte) unsigned integer, and thus there are 256 (0 - 255) discrete values that can be represented by an 8-bit binary value. When an 8-bit value 0b11111111 (255) is increased by 1, it would require 9-bits minimum to accurately represent the new number 256. However, the value into which the devs put the value for what we're selling is likely only a single byte. Therefore, selling 256 (0b100000000) items results in the top bit not being read, and the game therefore sees 0. This is called integer overflow.
I was doing the pomeg berry glicht a few years ago om my years old file of Emerald. When my pokemon had ?/ x HP i encounterd my first ever shiny on that save file of 20 years or so old…. I didnt catch it because i didnt know if that would break my save… im still pissed. I have to try and try to time it on that same frame a few times, i roughly know how long it took still
This was the most mind blowing part of the video to me lol. It’s been 20 years and I’ve always thought it was a man with an old timey middle part hairstyle lol.
Anyone know how to make your items unlimited without cheating in Japanese emerald? I accidentally did that without knowing how I think It happened in battle frontier the seviper building 🤔
I remember in gen mingching the pokemart would give you and your friend a smartcard that you could throw into the glitch, and then the darkness befalls you.
So rare for gen 1 to have anything visibly bugged unless you force it, you're right they're much more buggy than gen 3 but this "gen 1 being horribly buggy" is blown so out of proportion @@Mimikyu_Lov3r
With the Emerald Cloning glitch, as long as you're happy to lose say a Wurmple, then you absolutely can clone 6 mons

The game isn't set up to handle negative HP, so when it goes to -1, it wraps around to 65535. When you take damage it slooooooowly drops back to your actual maximum.
The reason for the wraparound requires some understanding of computer science, but the gist of it is that negative numbers and very large positive numbers look the same in binary and it's up to the program to decide whether this number is allowed to be negative or not.

I have faith that every Pokémon enthusiast knows about bits
Will the HP ever reach a valid number again in this case?

Maybe that water current glitch is a thing because it looks like the new route transition line could allow for you to be fishing on route 134, but fishing on a 133 tile, causing some weirdness in the caught Pokémon's info? So maybe it just pushes you off that only viable tile to avoid it. But then again why not jsut make the island a perfect rectangle and avoid it entirely, idunno.
4:52 ohhhhh so that's why.
I did this countless times in my original copy of Emerald, but one day I realised I lost a magneton, it wasn't in the daycare, i didn't tranfer it to gen 4, and I didn't imagien having one because it was registered in the hall of fame, so i probably lost it because I put it in a box right before doing the glitch, it makes sense
Emerald item cloning can be done by withdrawing only items and not any pokémon. The “Move Items” feature. I have 200 rare candies and 50 or so PP ups and Master Balls from doing this. Pretty short and easy process once you have a full box set up with the item you need to dupe on a regular basis.
I have a level 81 smeargle with full PP on spore, false swipe, body slam, and milk drink, and it wasn’t through hard work… Cloned him and sent him to gen 4 as well
Good video
Appreciate it :)
Curious if FRLG has any of these glitches.
There's a lot of FRLG glitches too, look up the mail glitch.
Also, i fell on that very boulder in the Sky Pillar. Actually thought it was part of the game, rather than a glitch!
22:27 Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby
The meowth one is because when you defeat a player. It says they gave you this or you earned this money. But because meowth is picking it up, it doesn't display that. When it should be saying both.
Theres a very rare bug in Emerald where you can catch Zangoose, you need Seviper to be 1st in your party
i miss your videos
When i was a child i accidentally found out about a glitch i never saw anywhere. I could walk on water before the second batch and catched a tentacool at level 35. It only worked on my Saphire edition but not on my Friends ruby
Amazing stuff. But what sane person would be selling 250+ berries at once? 😂
10:08 my man.. why are you doing us dirty like that
Can you use Mean Look on the Roaming Pokemon to Catch it. Imagine a Shiny Sceptile from Battle Tower in a Dive Ball. I think someone Caught a Shiny Swampert in R/S using this glitch
Can you make a video again on how to get citra on laptop as the original citra website got shut down?
honestly just gotta find an internet archive or some other website that offers it for download. Then just follow the rest of the steps. Sorry, I don't think I'll be making another video on it. Nintendo took Citra down for a reason, so I'm just glad they didn't completely take my video down (yet....)
@CWillyHD k
can someone please answer me this one thing thats bugged me for years about emerald.
My brother took my game for about 20 seconds(Been playing for like 10 mins so fresh game, ( He didnt own any Action replays so im baffled even more by what happened) i was JUST leaving oldale town on my way to petalburg, but just a few steps outside of oldale is when my brother took my game off me, turned around, did some secret stuffs and when he gave me the game back I had an old rod? Anyone know wtf he did and how he got me a magikarp aswell? cause im baffled to this day still and i KNOW he didnt have an AR, any help is awesome!
The game actually does seem to save everything but the pc. Not "the party, bag, and nothing else."
So it won't let you repeat move tutors for example, or dupe battle points, or even abuse item storage *on* the pc.
Also you didn't mention that you can withdraw items en masse from the pokemon holding them in the pc to dupe the items directly, allowing you to just carpet bomb withdraw held items from entire boxes of pokemon, getting stacks of rare candy, ppmax, vitamins, ev berries, every tm. Whatever.
Figured that out as a kid.
It's more or less the predecessor to gen 4's normal vs "a lot of data" saves. Turns out most of what needs to be saved is data in the pc which they learned they could cut on save times by skipping. I guess that prototype was in front of us all along.
I would say gender swapping Marill can be seen as a glitch
Now that you talked about them you should try to complete the game only using glitches, and using pokemon you got from glitches.
I didn't know about the fact that the duping pokemon glitch could delete pokemon if not careful so I accidently deleted a ludicolo. rip
I don't think the 256 thing is coincidental.
It's also the total number of possible combinations when writing binary code.
The 256th one would be the reset point, as it would be "00000000", which doesn't match up to any character.
Just for accuracy's sake: 255 is the maximum value of an 8-bit (1 byte) unsigned integer, and thus there are 256 (0 - 255) discrete values that can be represented by an 8-bit binary value.
When an 8-bit value 0b11111111 (255) is increased by 1, it would require 9-bits minimum to accurately represent the new number 256. However, the value into which the devs put the value for what we're selling is likely only a single byte. Therefore, selling 256 (0b100000000) items results in the top bit not being read, and the game therefore sees 0. This is called integer overflow.
@renatatostada3318 so in my mind, after 255, it would read "00000000", which is the same as the begining value which the system would read it as.
@renatatostada3318 I know that's literally what you just said, I'm just trying to simplify it for myself. 🙂
I was doing the pomeg berry glicht a few years ago om my years old file of Emerald. When my pokemon had ?/ x HP i encounterd my first ever shiny on that save file of 20 years or so old…. I didnt catch it because i didnt know if that would break my save… im still pissed. I have to try and try to time it on that same frame a few times, i roughly know how long it took still
The pokemart worker is not a man???
This was the most mind blowing part of the video to me lol. It’s been 20 years and I’ve always thought it was a man with an old timey middle part hairstyle lol.
@@unit220im pretty sure it is
24:39 my eyes is trying to learn Blaze Kick 😭😭😭
Surprised nobody has mentioned AbsolBlogsPokemon, he used that Pomeg glitch to train a pokemon inside an egg to level 100 before hatching it lol

Now if only there was a glitch that let you bypass Battle Frontier hax from your opponents.
"Today we're going way back" ow
The Sand infront of the Gym counts as the Gym.
Emerald don't has glitches, Emerald has ACE
If you're interested in the battling with an egg glitch, AbsolBlogsPokemon gets a Pokemon in an egg to level 100 before it hatches!
Anyone know how to make your items unlimited without cheating in Japanese emerald?
I accidentally did that without knowing how
I think It happened in battle frontier the seviper building 🤔
That footprints guy just disappeared....wtf was that
That first glitch is the most pointless glitch I’ve ever seen 😂😂
I remember in gen mingching the pokemart would give you and your friend a smartcard that you could throw into the glitch, and then the darkness befalls you.
Nice creepypasta ?
Read somewhere that the abandoned ship trainers were actually ghosts (shipwreck victims)
NPC ignores Chikorita because its TRASH

Wow never seen this way of cloning mons i know the old method
The cloning glitch does work in Ruby/Sapphire at the regular Battle Tower, though.
wait really? is it the same setup?
@@CWillyHD more or less, just you use the nearest receptionist to the PC. I at least remember doing it in Sapphire as a kid.
@@JohnSmith-lh3htI don't think this is true. There isn't anything documented so you're likely mixing up your childhood memory of Emerald cloning
@@cloudisfast3361 Quite possible.
