Talk:List of glitches (Generation I)

Surfing outside Turnback Cave

I just thought that I'd point out that you can surf outside Turnback Cave with no music. What I did was I used Rock Climb, then immedietly got onto my Bike, then rode up to the water and press A (to surf). This all happened in a period of about 4 - 5 seconds, and I surfed around on the pond with no surfing music. It seems to only work the first time you try (I've done it twice), and this is for Diamond. ~Takhareon 01:00, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Hm... Maybe we should get another source... Anyone? CuboneKing 01:16, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I've heard of situation around Spring Path where riding the bike causes the music to stop, but I couldn't get it to work. Can you repeat it? If not, it might just be dust jamming the system or something. --SnorlaxMonster 01:22, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I could make a video and YouTube it, if its neccesary, but yeah, it might be the game having trouble handling all the action, rather than a glitch. ~Takhareon 01:40, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, a video would be good, but all I wanted to know was if it could be repeated. --SnorlaxMonster 01:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, what I meant was: I've had this happen to me on two separate occasions (different days). The glitch occurs, then I try to repeat it (get off the pond and repeat the steps taken) and it doesn't seem to work. So it only works sometimes. I'll try to make a video, anyway. ~Takhareon 02:01, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Glitch with supereffectiveness using a move normally not very effective

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IeGdpFRGtQ

As seen here, Discharge was used by Maggyo against a Denchura. Strangely, it was deemed supereffective by the game. Should this be added? - 050294 03:31, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

The video has been taken down, so it was likely a fake. --SnorlaxMonster 13:01, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Kecleon glitch

The following comments come from the talk page of the Kecleon glitch, which was merged into this page --SnorlaxMonster 12:31, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

What

What the heck is the Kecleon Glitch? Pokedex493 18:38, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Also, the Kecleon Glitch article page should not be deleted because articles about glitches should always stay on there. Pokedex493 18:40, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

The article tells you exactly what it is. Also, the article should be deleted and the content paced on list of minor glitches. The whole purpose of that page is to stop pages like this from being created. --SnorlaxMonster 01:39, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Per SnorlaxMonster --Chickasaurus 14:14, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Cause

Note: This is based somewhat on presumed data. I'm pretty sure the game does this though.

Couldn't the cause of this come from the Kecleon only aiming for whoever its item or attacked it? If the Pass Scarf causes it to attack the enemy, the chain reaction would then cause it to act as a team member, as Kecleon's data causes it to be on the opposite side of the one it attacked. Since the enemy is then defeated, Kecleon follows the team to the next floor, but doesn't go farther than this because the game would only make it act like a team member, rather than being one.

That seems right to me. That's basically how I thought it worked too. --SnorlaxMonster 12:52, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

That seems right to me too, but I've never tried this glitch before, so I don't know. Pokedex493 23:04, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

'Cause it's not a glitch. It's with all Pokémon that battle the player (barring Run Away when HP is low). ^ht14 00:35, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

There's a difference. Those will still attack, not just follow the player. Not to mention that the Kecleon are faster than the team, and can easily be able to defeat it. Never activated it before either though. Turtwig's A-B-Cs (talk | contribs) 00:37, 11 September 2010

It may be a glitch.---Pokemaniac2000 02:36, 29 September 2010(UTC)

Discussion regarding potential deletion

This article has been marked for deletion. I'm not really in a position to give my opinion here... it seems just as notable as plenty of other glitches we have/have had articles on, but at the same time, it is sort of walkthrough-ish. Personally, I think all glitches with the exception of a select few should be merged into one article for all the glitches in each game, with subsections for each glitch. That's just me, though. Discuss. The article will likely be deleted within the next week or two if no convinving arguments are presented. --P o L i 19:35, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, that is kinda what list of minor glitches is for, and what is really wanted is that it remains there but doesn't get its own page. However, having specific glitch sections on the articles of the games themselves is a good idea. --SnorlaxMonster 00:43, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

To me, this seems better suited to the list of glitches as opposed to just deleting it or giving it its own article. --ZestyCactus 00:45, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

I suppose it's decided then. Anyone want to volunteer to condense and move it? --P o L i 19:08, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Did that a while ago. Since there seems to be consensus, I'll just redirect this page there. --SnorlaxMonster 03:06, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Similar to the cut glitch

Giovanni drops a Silph Scope at the Game Corner in Generation 1, and it's possible to appear on top of it. Looking back, I wonder if that's normal.

Also, certain Pokemon cries will sound glitchy every couple replays in Generation 1. Pikachu's cry sounds different every six plays, for example Zouje 17:43, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

1. So you can just walk on top of it without a collision? How do you appear on top of it?
2. Can you link to a video of this please? I'm interested. --SnorlaxMonster 10:42, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

1. Basically if you fight him from the left hand side the Silph Scope item ball appears in that same spot but remains invisible because of the priority of the player's sprite until you walk away. You can also stand on a boulder in Gold/Silver via the same stand on a tree method from Red/Blue and jump from a ledge and land on a person in Vermilion City.
2. Interrupting certain sound effects can cause minor 'oddities' such as these (try playing Electabuzz's cry immediately after Jynx's for instance). There is a related 'music doubling trick' where a 'sound effect is playing' flag doesn't activate the first time but I haven't been able to replicate it. --Chickasaurus 16:37, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Raimon Gym Trainer glitch

Could the glitch occur with Rich Boy Roland? Seeing as both him and Lady Colette are the only trainers are in the roller coaster cars, Roland could possibly be able to trigger this glitch. Also, can you still talk to Colette while she is on the track or does the game act like she is not there after the battle? - unsigned comment from Super goku (talk • contribs) 21:18, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Grass next to stairs glitch

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTe-BTQbw-s

Should it be added to the list? If it does, can someone do? My english sucks. :/ •●MΣƬΛПG●• 21:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Marowak Ghost Glitch

Is there any proof that the Marowak Ghost-Pokedoll event is actually a glitch? Considering you can use a Pokedoll on pre-Scoped Ghastly to end battles, it doesn't seem likely that it is really a glitch. After all, the Marowak Ghost is still coded as a Pokemon, just an uncatch-able one. Scorponis 19:23, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

For me it is a glitch. First for bypassing a major event, second because it doesn't occur in Firered/Leafgreen versions. •●MΣƬΛПG●• 20:47, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Poké Radar

I noticed that when I have a chain of Pikachu on my Poké Radar in the Trophy Garden on my Pearl version, and I go into a spot on the edge of the grass, even if a Pikachu turns up from it, my chain ends. I am using a Max Repel to block all other Pokémon, and have a high enough level in my first slot for the Repel to work. Should this glitch be on here? EnosShayrem 15:37, 17 February 2011 (UTC) If you walk 7 or more steps to find a pokemon with radar the chain can break. Not a glitch. OwnageMuch 03:31, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
