A big thanks to all of my wonderful subscribers for being so patient and enduring the content drought! I've got a lull in upcoming work and steady access to my editing software, so more content should be coming out soon.
Be sure to check out Ganahibi's channel, she's the one who first showcased all of these bugs, I just remade her video for an English-speaking audience.

Seeing Glitchfest in the title gave me nostalgia when I use to watch Scykoh when I was younger.
Ufufufu, just as planned! Gotta use those Dark-type moves to manipulate the algorithm!
@@ImportedCheese Mate you've got a plan to manipulate the algorithm and exploit people's nostalgia, guess you could say you've got a *nasty plot* to get more views.
It'll take more than +2SpA to conquer TH-cam, but it's a start...!
@@ImportedCheese alr
@@win_ini I'm afraid I'll need to ask you to explain what "alr" means >.>
Satoshi Tajiri was obsessed with collecting bugs, so it makes sense that his game will be full of them.
Bugs have two different meanings, some types of insects, and glitches in games. So I love the pun you made using the same word's different meanings.
@@ACandCC r/thanksmrobvious
@@coal9205 I was giving a compliment, but hey, that's just a theory, A GAME-
@@ACandCC that's not how that quote works

"Is this a glitch, or a feature?"
Game Freak: "Yes"
What a great game
It's so insane to believe that this GIANT in the video game industry came from this and the fact they have continued this general pattern of underdeveloped first and fixed later is wild.
Good thing SV is a complete, polished game!!!!
@@ImportedCheese thats a joke right... RIGHT?
@@floppa_gamer1111 it’s not
This pushed the hardware to its limits,so error checking is very rare.This allows to do some fun stuff such as trashing about 90% of the memory and still having the game run
You aren't allowed to say that according to pokemon fans. The games are great and it's totally not suffering from the tight release schedule that left SV launching in a compromised state. It's fine...
Obvious sarcasm
So we've barely even walked outside of Pallet Town and that was already enough for a whole video. I can't wait to see what sorts of things we can do when we actually have more than one Pokemon and more than two items in our inventory
To be honest, I don't actually know the extent of what's possible. I know that at some point we'll be able to walk through walls and clone ourselves, but there's no predicting what else the spaghetti has in store o_O
@@ImportedCheese wait
Clone ourselves?
@@juliewinchester1488 Yeah, as early as epsiode 3, I think
They reworked the code for the Japanese blue release because the original source code for red/green was too fragmentary and unstable to continue being used for new games. Since international releases were after the Japanese blue release, they just went ahead and used the blue code instead of making a third set of code. Not because of any one specific glitch.
Source? Im interested to read a bit more about these early days of development
@@Deez-Master I'll try to dig up an article later. It might be in fragments though, most info about gen one development has been pieced together from interviews. It's not like there's a codified history somewhere
Held together with gum and a staple
“Type advantage against the trainer” made me laugh, as did “rocket surgeon”
The "type advantage against the trainer" was just a throwaway joke, but give what I've seen recording part 2, we might actually be able to interact with enemy trainers in battle o_O

Imagine pouring hours into the game and you get softlocked.
You must be a regular on Pokemon videos lol :)
@@ThirdyMeowy they are a poketuber lol

Pikasprey made a career doing that.
Some of these clutches are impossible I for so damn close to getting the girl to go into the grass. And then I fucked it. How can got manipulate where she goes other than standing in her way and praying to the rng gods?
Imagine leavin Pallet Town and then returning to Professor Oak 20 minutes later with his Parcel with a "Charizard...?".
A malformed steroid filled undersized charizard having a seizure on the ground

It’s the Pokedex glitch. Basically, if you don’t have a pokedex and have another pokemon in the list other than the starter, Professor Oak will think that you have the Pokedex and will not accept the parcel so you can’t progress. That’s why the sound effect appeared.
Ah...I think that pokedex glitch ended up being the first glitch in part 2!
Would this mean that, if you were to evolve your starter, the same effect would happen?
@@AgentArcadia Yep.
@@AgentArcadia It’s been documented.
Holy shit, I think I actually got stuck because of that over 20 years ago the first time I played.
I couldn't read in the language of the game so I kept killing pidgeys and rattatas and nidorans until I had a charmeleon and had no clue about the parcel thing. I think eventually someone told me what to do or I found it on the internet, but had to restart.
The first one isn't exclusive to Red and Green, it's there in all Generation 1 games.
...There was oversight (fixed in Red and Blue) where if you evolved your starter before receiving Pokedex, the game would get confused and think you already have Pokedex, without moving the old man.
Didn't know these, thanks for the tips!
@@ImportedCheese Here's a few more. ^^ [Note the category is for games not specific to generation though] glitchcity.wiki/Category:Japan_only_Pok%C3%A9mon_glitches ; or if you just want base glitch lists tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue/Version_Differences#Glitches . One of the fun non-Select glitch ones is the Saffron Gym glitch; losing to Sabrina counts as a win xD. There are various Japanese glitchers and sites out there, but just the language barrier can get in the way. In fact with the Select glitch, the possibilities are near endless just with different cursor and Pokémon/move swap combinations. That and you can use another Select glitch to get 255 items; so yeah. (In Red/Blue you can simulate Select glitch but Red/Green/Japanese Blue to an extent, just make powerful glitches trivially more easier, like with the dokokashira door glitch. They still had that SRAM glitch though/the infamous 'beat Pokémon Yellow in 0:00' one.)
@@ChickasaurusGL hello chickasaurus
@@ImportedCheese the 2nd one is also in all versions i believe. At least i know it is in Red and Blue as well :) (not sure if you can open the menu tho lol)
@@retro_nintendom8493 The first two both work in the JP and the US releases, but the 2nd one doesn't work in Yellow. To get the 1st one to work in Yellow, the girl needs to be two blocks up in the grass instead of one, since that's where the Pikachu-spawn trigger is located. The 1st one also will fail (in each version) if the girl walks away from the required spot before Oak starts taking you to his lab.
As the AVGN once said, "This game is an example where the ENTIRE *GAME* is a glitch!"
That sums up Pokemon Red/Green very, VERY well, but it's a GOOD glitch. Glitches aren't always bad, and Missingno is proof of that.
One of my favourite bugs in gaming is the W-Item glitch in Final Fantasy VII that allows super easy item duplication. The thing most don't know about this bug though is that in the original Japanese release this brain-dead easy glitch did the reverse and straight up eats the item.
That W-Item glitch is what taught me that "W" is the Japanese notation for "Double!"
I'd always see W randomly on restaurant menus here in Japan and I had no idea what it meant until I watched some FF7 glitch content. I guess W does mean "Double U" so it makes sense, but I'd never realized it...
Bug is the most common type in gen 1 since it’s filled with bugs
Professor Oak is just silently judging you for destroying the entire world with glitches lol
The way the "Fake characters" are generated is actually very simple. While the punctuation marks can only be placed onto t-, k-, s-, and h- characters, creating separate characters for da di de du do, ga, gi, ge, gu, go, za, ji, ze, zu, zo, ba, bi, be, bu, bo, and pa, pi, pe, pu, po would unnecessarily take up a lot of memory. Remember, Gen 1 has really tight memory constraints, mostly due to their poorly optimized code. The only difference between da and ta are the two small ticks above it. So, they just allowed you to enter a "ta" and add the ticks to it separately. That way everything I listed from da - bo is covered by the addition of a single character. Pa - po use a small circle instead.
It's been a while since I've played Green version, but I think you can actually put these marks over any character yourself on the name input screen even though it doesn't actually make any sense to do so over any characters that aren't t-, k-, s-, or h- characters and the circle only makes sense over h- characters.
So it looks like the characters that are not ok with having the tick marks are the r, m, n, w, and y ones? Which of them were in the video?
@@japanpanda2179 the glitched Charizard's name is "Anedepami" but the ne and and mi take tentens, which doesn't correspond to any phoneme. If you wanted to try to pronounce it I guess you could maybe say "Angyedepambwi" or something like that
When you said that Bug types were the most represented type in gen 1, I was like "what ? That can't be true" and I started counting until I realised.. yeah, THAT bug type lol
I was expecting the answer to be "Bird" because of all the MissingNo.s!
@@Cherodar XDDDD sameeee
"The game just starts saying your trainer name over and over again--"

7:14 So there's japanese accent marks, and those are the result of them getting put on characters you're not supposed to
I figured something along those lines was happening...there's no new characters, just crazy accent marks. I can only imagine how wild things would get if kanji was actually in these games.
@@ImportedCheese yeah, instead of having separate graphics for the accented characters, the accents are programmed as characters themselves that appear above the previous character. That means they can appear over any character, even when that doesn't make sense. I think even numbers.
This is why every string of text has an empty line above it.
@@ImportedCheese 入、、
@@ImportedCheese When those marks ゛called "dakuten" are put on characters that don't normally have them it's how people represent yelling, since they don't have capital and lowercase letters like English.
When they're put on characters that do normally have them it changes the sound (t becomes d, h becomes b, etc.)

Underrated glitch showcase! Though, I'd recommend testing to make sure these glitches aren't present in the International version. Pretty sure the first 2 can happen in American RB.
So funny that 2nd glitch that is NOT unique to Red/Green from Japan. That can also happen in the US copies of Red/Blue it just doesn't do the menu bit, instead it'll poof your sprite and then it just plays a single long tone effectively freezing the game.
I did not know this! So it's actually WORSE in the "fixed" version, then?
@@ImportedCheese Yes xD Also pretty sure nearly all the bugs in this vid are indeed actually in "fixed" copies of these too. Not just that 2nd one, I know 1 is for sure. There are a LOT of ways to do stuff like glitch 4 too.
Excellent transition between every glitch!
Thank you! I have a bit of downtime at work and my boss asked me to brush up on Photoshop/Premier so what you end up with is uh, Kenshiro taunting Doge as he weeps by a gravestone, I guess.
Not only have I learned about japanese pokemon glitches but also not to judge women onto tall grass. Thanks for learning me goodly
You played Digimon music, you earned a like and sub for that one. I have a weakness for Digimon, even more so than Pokemon.
It's my greatest shame to have put the inferior -mon music, but if we're warp digivolving, we gotta have the music!
P E P P E R B R E A T H!
I grew up with and love both series unconditionally. however, my first love will always be Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 on Gameboy. So much so that I was absolutely GUTTED when I learned there was a 3DS remake of Monsters 2 that never released internationally.
"reworked the western release."
Understatement of the century
Can confirm, Green is a MESS. I've had it fail on me for literally no reason, and it deleted my entire file.
Your videos are actually so good relative to the amount of views you currently get. I'm glad I found them. Hope to see your channel grow!
Thank you so much! Stay tuned, I'll do my best not to disappoint!
You're underrated. I haven't laughed this hard at a Pokemon video's jokes in a good while.
Eyyy thank you! Let's! Viewing! Glitches!
I remember playing a bootleg version of Green that came in from England. It crashed after I defeated Bruno
The most damage Bruno has ever done
@6:30 the 90's and early 2000s was a lawless time, i remember getting cigarettes for my grandmother at 12 yo.

I actually laughed when you made the joke about rearranging your limbs. Hope you get more views 'cause you deserve them!
Thank you so much!

Trivia that may be funny to you, Omar: TH-camr Pikasprey once encountered a weird bug with Ditto... just randomly. And thing is: _That was an until then undiscovered bug._
Gen 1 is _so_ broken, people still find new bugs and glitches to this very day... and that's amazing for all the wrong reasons. xD
I like to imagine gen 1 is being held together with hope and paperclips.
bruh I'm not even sure they had the paperclips tbh
@@ImportedCheese Ah right, my mistake. Rubber bands then.
Now at 32 years old ive come to terms with the fact that ive always been a bug catcher... now I wear it proud 😁
You already forgot
Glitch 6: sound based moves are music to my ears
All sound based moves use sings animation (at least in the international version)
I didn't know this!
Some really cool and interesting glitches for Pokémon Green. Also I really loved the sprite for Charizard in this so cool.
"Back in reality, we are gonna make a savestate in our emulator"
What a f@*$ing line!!
i feel like if i was a kid and unknowingly stumbled upon these glitches i'd have been terrified

So the Mongols came over ready for war, and died in a tornado (actually a typhoon), but then they came again, and had a nice time fighting with the Japanese but then died -in a tornado (actually a typhoon)- because the Ghost of Kanto sent Buried Alive after them.

@@ImportedCheese haha bill wurtz go brrr
I had Pokémon Red in English but at somepoint in time my brother got me Japanese Green. Now I couldn’t speak or understand Japanese and as I kid I thought it was basically the same game, but now as an adult that I know so much not just glitches that were different about it I want to break it out and play it

hey, I'm actually a cultured Piloswine, American is not my first and only language!
Fun fact: In the Japanese versions of gen 1 you can actually use the PC potion without any pokemon in your party, though to no effect, but it's super cool to see that you can open the pokemon screen without save corruption.
I did not know this! I'll see if I can fit that into part 2.
@@ImportedCheese Shoot I didn't know you would respond, I edited it to be more specific if that helps in any way.
@@AstroWasUnavailable Ahaha, I'm still small enough that I try to parse through as many comments as I can. Thanks for the detailed edit, I might try to squeeze that into part 2!
Glitch 1 (The Pallet Town Patrol) also works in the western versions! I remember pulling it off as a kid (in either Red or Yellow, can't remember which one) after reading about it online 😆
I always likes it when people are using their actual learned abilities, such as being able to read a foreign language, into entertainment. :-D
English is a foreign language for me, since I am from Denmark. But I also understands Chinese (not even close to fluently) but good enough for now, unfortunately. Just like learning to play an instrument at some point you hit the level where you are able to do what you want, and improvement is only to be professional, so most people stop at that point.
But back to what I was saying. Thanks for a fun video.
This takes me back to the good old days of seeing videos of Pokémon glitches
Most of the Red/Green glitches were fixed in Japanese Blue, which are what all releases outside Japan were based on.
I was not expecting a video of this quality from such a small channel, genuinely a really good and funny video
Hey, thanks for watching, and for giving a smaller channel like mine a chance!
@@ImportedCheese I always enjoy finding these smaller channels with good content
I love the way you talk and make references to stuff dude, subbed!
more bug catching...eventually
Found this gem of a channel. Worth a sub without a doubt.
Your humour throughout the video is incredible. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Brave Heart and You Wa Shock in this video. The information was interesting but those music cues just elevated your video in my eyes.
Oh hell yes. Charmander warp digivolve to CHARIZARD
You'll never hear Digimon music on this channel again, I hope you enjoyed it.
I'm just finding out about this series now and it's glorious! Figured I might as well start at the beginning :)
Pls watching!!
I love early Pokemon glitches, I love your sense of humor, this is right up my alley!
Thanks for watching! We have...9 episodes out atm!
How much more broken could it really be? Item swap? O-oh, I see... yes that is quite a bit more broken. Well glad to see you are still making videos, you're my favorite new/small video maker, your quality is much higher than views would suggest. Just need to hope you please the algorithm god enough to one day have it deign to slap a video into everyones face and you get 100k views.
Thank you so much for your support! Still waiting for that 100k Doubleslap combo; if it does happen, it'll be because of viewers like you!
If you encounter a trainer while inside a wall, the game thinks all your pokemon have fainted and you will instantly blackout in any battle. Even if you heal at a center, it won't help.
This comment is for the youtube algorithm
So was my like to your comment
So is this response to your comment...uh, and also to thank you for watching, I really do appreciate it!
@@ImportedCheese I just wanted to say that i really appreciate your content. I think it is really high quality and I can't think of a reason why you don't have more views.
Thank you! Grab your friends, sit them down and force them to listen to my rambling XD
I think he took the dome fossil
I just found your channel and I’m really enjoying my stay :D
Hey, thanks for watching! Look forward to Green Glitches part 5 this weekend...ish. No promises xD
!this was super fun 偉大 映像 great video!
偉大?! That's quite a complement, thank you!
I dno if its just because its 2.30am but damn Im loving your style of humour
Sometimes I come back to this video to see where I started on this channel, and how far this channel has come in a fairly short time. Can't wait for the gen 9 tier list part 2!
Thank you! Let's! Evolving!
Your writing and jokes are amazing. I love this shit.
Thank you! Although in this case I must confess that a few are just translations of the original Japanese video. A few! I'm not a complete hack, although in this case I might be a hAcKeR.
@@ImportedCheese Yeah I checked out her channel. She seemed to have a ton of videos which was impressive but sadly I don't speak Japanese.
I think even if you don't speak Japanese, it's interesting to see how different videos made for a Japanese audience are. There's a lot of text-to-speech, and due to how many homophones there are in Japanese there are often subtitles, even for native speakers who aren't hearing impaired in any way.
The reason that Pokemon was rewritten from the ground up for international releases was actually because the code couldn't be translated from Japanese to other Languages without breaking the game.
If there's more reasons, these glitches are probably it.
Huh... So the urban legend I heard years back about player whose pokemon in Red or Blue never recovered, no matter how many times s/he tried with poke center heal, may have been either inspired by that 0 hp glitch or by a glitch similar to it... 🤔
It very well could have. The spaghetti works in mysterious ways.
Thank you the gods of the youtube algorithm for delivering this hilarious video. Insta subscribed.
"How easy is it to break Gen 1"........
1) Turn on the Gameboy.
2) Congratulations, the game broke.
SWSH blows this out of the water for glitches, they just do not care anymore.
Top level entertainment as always!
Who is this paid shill? He's only watching because he has ulterior motives!
...Thanks for your support, Dylan, if that IS your real name...
oh my god the item underflow glitch sets up the perfect creepypasta material
Explored in later episodes!!
Thanks for the video!
Although you may prefer the air, thanks for landing to watch my video xD
Man, I guessed Normal at that question in the beginning.
Oak to Red missing the door:
"You were close"
jesus your channel is really underrated
Aw, thank you!
It's an honor for a uh, Pickle to say so!
4:20 - So basically Pokémon Green was shouting "Meme" before it was cool.
Green had the first Nopon
first video of yours i watched, cant believe it's been 2 years
Veteran viewer!
@@ImportedCheese veteran indeed
the international red and blue have version exclusives and in-game trades based on the japanese red and green but text based on Japanese blue
I did not know that o_O
This is the best pokemon content on youtube✨
LOL that was funny! well done!
The pokemon conquest music gave me nostalgia
would love to see this series come back
Every time someone asks, I delete the next episode instead of posting it LEAVE ME ALONE
Anyway, eventually
“Glitchfest”
How dare you stand where he stood
Aaaah, I love glitch videos. :D
This is probably how those unboxing fetishists feel about unboxing videos.
I am glad to have uh...fulfilled your fetish ahahah. Thanks for watching!
@@ImportedCheese :D
God, glitchfest.... that's a name I haven't heard in a really really *really* long time
This video is so good that I can almost forgive showing the close up of the spongebob butterfly!
Just joking, I'm sure you can do the first glitch in the american versions though
Wormy is adorable, I don't know what you're on about.
I think the second glitch might also be possible in the overseas versions, but I think in parts 2 and 3 I go deeper into glitches that truly are Japan exclusive.
I miss scykoh's glitchfests :(
I find that thumbnail oddly terrifying.
Okay this is pretty funny XD you've got a new subscriber!
Thanks for your support! Just out of curiosity, how did you come across this video?
@@ImportedCheese I actually saw a comment from you on another Pokemom video!
Thanks for taking a chance on my content!

Brazillian here =) i vividly remember when i was a kid, we couldnt read either japanese or english, but pokemon was still huge cos of the animated series, AND tbh back then we didnt gave a crap about piracy, so for a long time the most played(emulated) pokemon game here in brazil was pokemon green =)
I'm sure you cary about piracy now!!!
dude your narration is so funny
Thank you for watching
7:49
Pretty sure that's the Japanese equivelent to Cooltrainer, which is a name given to Move ID 00 which is usually just unselectable, but can be made a valid move with glitches, and the name comes from the move's Type in the English releases. Although, much like everything else in this, the move's more broken than in said English versions.
I mean, your guess is as good as mine
What happens if you "save, walk, reset" to your mom? Does she heal your pokemon?
Unfortunately, Charizard's HP stat is literally 0, so it has no health to even recover. You'll still faint =(
I smiled when I heard braveheart during the warp digivolve glitch
They will never take our freedom
fun fact: there was originally a sidegame to yellow, called "pokemon pink". its in the source code leak, and missing many assets
7:01
"Anedepami"
Why, exactly, was I proud to be called "an uncultured piloswine"?
You shouldn't be content with that. You gotta dream bigger, aim for at least "uncultured Mamoswine!"
I have an original green cartridge and it's so fun to just break its programming lol
Real easy, too!
