==Pattern==
I read this on Glitchcity.info: "BTW, there's a pattern to this glitch: Bulbasaur is HEX 153, Explosion is HEX 153, the letter Z is HEX 153, and the Bulbasaurs are Level 153. The glitch just sets all of the game's variables to HEX 153. Also for some reason the Pokemon, the third letter in your name, and the third move in you Pokemon's move set are spared. three is the magic number." This should be mentioned.[[User:Kiryu|Kiryu]] 00:19, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

:Having played with the game code a fair bit, this seems familiar to me: I suspect it's actually the graphic decompression routine gone out of control due to the Pokémon having garbage graphic data. The graphic compression routines include commands such as "fill with 2-byte pattern" (0099 in this case) and "fill with byte, skipping every third." These exactly match the symptoms. Another hint is that it corrupts the player's trainer and Pokémon graphics - the first place an out-of-control graphic decompression routine is going to trash is the other graphics right nearby.

==Yellow==
What exactly are the Yellow variations of this glitch? This can be answered by putting the Yellow variations on the page.--[[User:Dragonbeastx|<font color="blue">DRAGON</font>]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|<font color="yellow">BEAST</font>]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|<font color="red"><sup>X</sup></font>]] 07:05, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

==Multiple==
"It can be encountered by using the Ditto glitch with a Special stat that has a decimal number of any multiple of 251, 252, 254 or 255." Is this correct? If so, then a Pokémon with a Special stat of 507 should behave like 251 (506 mod 256 = 251) but ignore the ZZAZZ glitch (506 is not a multiple of those numbers). Likewise, 507, 508, 511, 763, 764, 766, and 767 should work for the same reason. Also, is 253 supposed to be excluded? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 14:23, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
