Today we're going to find out how easily you can glitch Pokemon Black and White. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below!

Gen V glitches are super interesting because these are without a doubt the most stable games/generation in the series. No Cute Charm glitch (Gen 4), no Berry Glitch (Gen 3). It feels like GameFreak really had a grasp on the hardware they were using in Gen V. All of these seem like things that fell through the cracks rather than poor programming or something. I'd like to see a Gen 4 glitch video again. Some super cool stuff has been found. Get it done John! Cool video dude.

[@KinjiroTheThunder]

i like the Cute Charm Glitch, it gives you lots of shinies in, I'm pretty sure, every gen 4 game

[@Coyoteari]

For real - it’s so wild how you go from gen 4 with the tweaking glitch, to gen 5 with....a few hit box and sprite errors at best

[@amberhernandez]

I like to call gen V the ultimate flex from Game Freak. They finally had a good understanding of what their software was capable of, and they pushed it hard. Every time I go over Skyarrow Bridge or up Celestial Tower, I just get that rush of a good cinematic camera shift and can't help but smile (unless the Deino I'm watching isn't Timid 👀). Black and White are my absolute favourite games in the series, partially because it finally felt like a game that knew what it wanted to be. The other reasons would take up a lot of time and energy that I'd rather not put into a text wall at 2:40 AM. :)

The slow-speaking old lady glitch reminded me of a neat little detail in Black and White. Conversations with N are one speed *faster* than what you have set in the options. Perhaps they applied the inverse of this to her on accident?

[@cosmicfate_]

or maybe on purpose, because two different npcs having that in reverse order seems a little hard to overlook/mess up

5:00 That also means that the colour change is hardcoded for each dot on the map, rather than simply being "if(isFlyable) then do(ColourChange)"

[@kirblevitation]

Other people also pointed out that the old lady speaking glitch means that they code npcs separately theres also a grass tile that just has the grass texture but doesnt work like a grass texture (no pokemon spawn and there isnt the rustle effect present) wich means they also code those individually 🤔 i think thats pretty interesting

[@jcnot9712]

Breezey not a big fan of the glitch series, but any other thing related to mystery dungeon would be great.

[@lovaniagengar7941]

There are long paragraphs ahead I know 5 things about Mystery Dungeon glitches: 1. If you hold l or r during an attack animation or a getting hurt animation, everything will stop until you let go of the button. No text boxes will appear, no Pokemon really does anything, attacks won't show up. If you do it while a Pokemon is taking damage and wait a few seconds, the Pokemon will leave its getting hurt animation and return to its idle pose. It most likely only occurs in Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team, Explorers of Time, and Explorers of Darkness. I haven't been able to test it outside of those games. 2. In Red Rescue Team, it's possible to corrupt a few things via wonder mail. I believe one of these is seeing the debug map. 3. In Rescue Team, by inserting a specific series of Wonder Mail codes, you can begin entering older ones. 4. In the first release of Blue Rescue Team, there was a fatal error. If placed in an original DS or DS Lite, it can communicate with a copy of Red Rescue Team that has been inserted in the GBA slot. However, first-print Blue Rescue Team cartridges would check if the GBA game was Red Rescue Team. If it wasn't, your save data would be gone. And now, a spoiler warning for Super Mystery Dungeon. 5. In Super Mystery Dungeon, during a specific chapter, your partner would get scared. If you ran up a slope in town and back down in a specific way, keeping your partner on the slope, your partner would fail to run back to you. If you go far enough away from your partner, they will cower in fear. However, if you walk to a specific spot, your partner will warp off the small ledge, but will appear to run quickly to you. It's hard to see due to being night in the game and serves no functional purpose. I've only done it twice with myself being a Piplup and my partner being a Snivy. The second time was trying to recreate the glitch, with my first time being an accident. I do have an idea of why this occurred. Because the partner always tries to catch up to the player, as you're forced to allow him to stick by your side like glue, he'll automatically run towards you, taking time to check for anything spooky and shudder in fear. By moving the way I did, my partner went to a lower part of the ledge, but the awkward angle had made the game think about where to place Snivy. Running at the side pushed him both directions along the slope. The game must've realized "oh hey the shuddering in fear animation should play now" and the animation pushed him off, all of the aimless running caught up, and he had come by my side.

[@Dukstless]

There aren't that many glitches in Mystery Dungeon, honestly. I remember some people posting sprite corruption, but no idea how that works.

[@bedavis9157]

Could you do something for either mystery dungeon or ranger games?

[@TheJunky228]

yes!

[@KinjiroTheThunder]

ok, John, since you ran out of glitches and oversights to talk about, here's a funny one: This particular glitch/oversight happens when you're using Rollout against a Gym Leader, like Brycen, and it causes something interesting to NOT happen, that being the little cutaway that happens when that trainer is down to their last Pokémon. To be more precise, if you keep knocking their Pokémon out with Rollout, the cutaway won't happen like it normally does. (Someone please let me know if this has happened with other similar moves or Gyms)

[@SSBBPOKEFAN]

I'm assuming Ice Ball would also work, as it's basically an Ice-type version of Rollout.

[@KinjiroTheThunder]

@@SSBBPOKEFAN Yes, that very well could work, especially if your opponent is a Ground, Grass, or Flying type specialist

[@Ylurple]

That’s happened to me with Burgh. In addition, the gym leader final pokemon music didn’t start.

[@loulou3676]

Do you not get the music change then? I always thought that was the best part

[@phil2160]

6:11 Actually that one glitch (the Kadabra evolving via trade even with an everstone) first appeared in the Gen 4 games. And in those games, at least, you couldn't stop a trade evolution (like how you can't stop a stone evolution). Don't know if the glitch still exist post Gen 5 though. Sure would have been better if that everstone Haunter in Snowpoint City had been swapped with an everstone Kadabra in the Sinnoh games huh ?

[@amberhernandez]

God I hate Mindy. There's actually a subreddit for hating her, btw. It's hilarious.

[@Linagarasu]

I know this is old, but it's actually intentional for Alakazam! The glitch first started in Gen 3 where you could evolve Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler and Haunter whilst they hold an everstone, Kadabra is the only one keeping the ability to evolve, even if it holds the everstone. And I think the trade for the everstone Haunter is a reference to this glitch, which they intentionally kept for Kadabra.

[@Saphzz]

@@Linagarasu actually (i know this is old), but I think it is intentional because someone sued the pokemon TCG for Kadabra, saying it copied their likeness, so they wanted to force evolve Kadabra in as many cases as possible to prevent further lawsuits

[@tvwhxte5005]

There's a missing glitch, there's one in the tower with dead Pokemon I think on the 3rd floor with the psychic trainers when you press B they change the direction they're looking

[@weshansen7892]

I miss this game so much. It was and in some respects is still the best pokemon game released to date. No remake could ever capture the magic and aesthetic it had...

[@lillith7257]

An Octopath style remake could, they'd also have to revive or remake certain aspects like the DW to really get down the experience. There was so much unavailable now which is why i've feared a remake. They're the single hardest games to ever do the same way again purely because of how many things were intertwined with temporary mechanics at the time. Websites dead and gone, whole systems like the Entralink also practically impossible without redoing. Some of it was also evolved over time like Pass Powers becoming O-powers. Some of it being outdated like the Inferred stuff, the AR, and so on. i truly believe though that given time and the effort needed they could remake all that but it is quite a lot.

[@8bitlord649]

I’d like to see a video where you task yourself with obtaining every TM in one of or multiple of the main series games. In some of the later generations it is quite the endeavor and I think it might make for an entertaining video.

[@JamTHEdog]

Bro I would love to see you do a video on some of the Side series games like Pokémon rumble, Pokémon ranger, and mystery dungeon.

[@wildfluffyappeared]

I’d speculate that the Ninjask with such a high speed that it subverts Trick Room is actually a type of underflow glitch, in which the speed counter reads so high that the game actually interprets it as a negative value and thus as “lower” speed than the opponent. The only question would be why this only happens in Trick Room rather than in standard circumstances, to which I would say it’s possible that values set by Trick Room are potentially what cause this underflow, like some kind of speed calculation that adds an extra value to the integer and thus causes the underflow or something. You see stuff like this a lot in gen 1 with like, Recover not working when you’re at 255 HP, or certain high leveled Pokémon stats actually wrapping back around to counting as super low numbers

[@danielle5160]

I think it'd be neat if you did a video on some of the glitches in Gen 2. It's not quite as absurdly broken as Gen 1, but there are plenty of interesting things you can do, including ACE

[@morganlollino9580]

Hi john stones. Your a good driver

[@JLMetak]

Kadabra evolving despite its Everstone might be intentional: it's been a thing since Gen IV and hasn't changed since. My guess is that it might be because of that one case where a magician (Uri Geller) sued Nintendo because Kadabra's Japanese name was a corruption of his name. Moreover Kadabra hasn't appeared in the anime or the card game since those copyright claims, so it might be a decision from Game Freak to subtly get rid of Kadabra without removing it completely.
