::Sorry but I disagree, the land strip actually has no defined Pokémon data, hence the game will draw up information for the last list of Pokémon in memory (e.g. if you encounter a Pokémon in Route 1 you will encounter the same list of Pokémon in the land strip). The game also stores such data in this same byte when the name is changed to OLD MAN and then back, that particular Marowak is just because the player had an R in his/her name as 1st 3rd 5th or 7th digit (those letters correspond to a list of Pokémon), the rest of the letters or for the level ranges of the Pokémon. An extra byte makes a Pokémon appear as a ghost, and the old man trick cannot set that, remember there can are also be ghost Ghastlys too, or technically a ghost of any Pokémon. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 17:38, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Marowak's Ghost on Cinnibar strip

  • Could it be possible that the Marowak you run into (along with Mewtwo, Missingno., and 'M) while using the Old Man trick is the same Marowak that can't be captured? --Kid Sonic 18:55, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
Technically speaking, sure. The eastern coast glitch will literally just barf up whatever fits the situation. But the game designers did not intend for the Marowak goast ghost to be catchable there. 梅子 19:01, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
