HOW EASILY CAN YOU GLITCH POKEMON EMERALD?

Throughout all the Pokemon games, glitches have been present, and in a lot of cases, they can help you in your play through. While there are some very well known glitches, what does it take to do them all? Today we're going to find out how easily you can glitch Pokemon Emerald. 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!

It felt empty for some reason when he ended the glitching segment and didn't start the talking segment with "So how did I do?" at 13:39

[@jaeusa160]

Heh, same here. There was that pause and then... it wasn't there.

[@jcnot9712]

“But how did I do?”*

“Let’s review,”

Dude I was literally going to make this exact comment and assumed I was the only one who cared lol

[@PlatinumTales]

I said it out loud since he didnt XD

[@margalocaris]

If you tried this in Red and Blue, you'd take ages to get every glitch.

You can literally do anything you want within these games thats how broken they are

Fun Fact: Wally does not actually use that Shiny Ralts when you fight him at Victory Road.

[@omegazeroINFI]

@@shadowtitanx3962 and he would at any other point?

[@lychitrash]

2:10 From what i remember from my days in Rom hacking, the warp to petalburg city happens because that warp tile is mapped to 0,0 in the warp list, and since the dive warp tile is technically unmapped, it teleports to a blank warp tile, which means it has the data of 0,0. Each map has its own map number and every warp has its own number, so map 0 is petalburg city and warp 0 of petalburg is that door, which is probably why that happens.

[@Miju001]

That's awesome to know

yesss I knew about this too

Pokemon Gen 1 Glitches The Movie! Our protagonist upon realizing how easy it is to get into the Hall of Fame via Oak's Door Glitch, decides to try to break free from his reality. He explores dozens of Glitch Cities in his quest that skips Brock, He catches Mew & several other rare Pokemon & eventually breaks the game after abusing Missingno to get unlimited Rare Candies, Masterballs, & Nuggets & eventually manages to get Level 1 Dragonite, Level 1 Mewtwo, Level 1 Moltres, Level 1 Zapdos, & Level 1 Articuno. Pokemon Gen 1 Glitches The Movie 2:More Glitchmon! We have a new Yellow protagonist who by means of glitches manages to restore the Red Player & together they collect Glitchmon in the hopes of reviving the legendary Japanese Green Champion & together they quest to find Japanese Blue to see what still works in that universe. Pokemon Gen1 Glitches The Movie 3:Glitches of the Stadiums of Gold & Silver! Our protagonist team trades to Stadium & the Next Generation of games to see what happens to their Glitchmon. Then have The Gen2 games use glitches to trade them back their glitchmon as well as give them new glitchmon. We find out what happens when Gen2 Moves are transferred to Gen1. The protagonists of Gen1 entrust the Gen2 players to continue their work. Then we get a 4th Movie for Gen2 Glitches that recaps how Japanese Gold, Western Silver, & The Crystal Girls traded new pokemon & new moves to Gen1. They proceed to glitch Generation 2 every way they can! Then we can get a 5th Movie showing in detail all the uses of Pomeg Glitch, & the existence of Bad Eggs.

For the Cloning Glitch remember to never turn off the power when it's saving as it isn't necessary. Just wait for the "Do you want to save your game?" screen to show up, then you can safely turn off your game

Or softreset, and you're good to go

[@shellyvision9693]

24 hours, at least

[@nathanstraley896]

For the Emerald cloning glitch... There is no timing needed. You can finish her entire dialogue, cancel out, walk around for a sec, THEN turn off and reload and you still get the clone. I did this thousands of times back in the day

[@fireblaster4073]

Honestly, I'd love to see you cover the Tweaking glitch in gen 4. Mostly since it's one of two ways to get the not released event Pokemon like Darkrai and Shamin without buying an action replay or fiddling with your DS's internet settings

one of my annual emerald playthroughs had wally kill his ralts. i figured it had to do with natures, but until you showed the odds of that i never realized how uncommon that is. nice vid mate

[@MegaKBang]

I love pokemon glitches. Especially in gen 3. I glitched my Mew to the Island of Mew and then softresetted it for shiny. Now it's in my USUM safe file and waits for home to release onto my SWSH file

[@MegaKBang]

Took me almost one entire month to get this glitch right btw lol

[@dimwitteddingo]

@@MegaKBang does it get flagged for anything? Or is it seen as legit because I heard in sword and shield if you get a hacked pokemon it crashes your game but idk

[@Sakani17]

I remember using that duplication glitch in the battle tower a lot. I actually used it to duplicate my main pokemon and keep them in Emerald before passing them on to Diamond.

[@IrisXen]

Big brain iq right here

[@LaytonBehelit]

The pomeg glitch opens up the door for a very powerful glitch called Glitzer Popping, which can basically act like an in-built action replay.

[@edwardrobinson5470]

Yep. That and the cloning glitch is my favorite glitch in emerald.

[@jenofjennifer]

10:53 yay my first Pokémon *drags Ralts' corpse*

[@seth64_]

If memory serves me correctly from when I used to mess with Advance Map back in the day Petalburg was the first map listed in the bank. So maybe it’s just a failsafe like the Chris Houlihan room from A Link to the Past?

[@lucasgarcia8285]

Gen 3 is my favorite gen!!!! Growing up I loved watching gen 3 glitch videos so I’m happy to now follow a KZbin channel that have more information on these glitches that I use to love!

[@wibblemu9]

My friend lost my jirachi trying to do the clone glitch. I'm still salty

[@TheActualAldo]

You don't need to turn off the game during the oddly long pause. All you have to do is say yes when she asks you if you would like to save the game. Then, wait until that pause is over, and when the summary window shows up and wants to confirm with you if you would like to save, just say no, and confidently turn it off/softreset. The saving (and cloning) happens during the pause so after it's over you can safely restart your game, no crash, just clones

[@alexandercns]

Gen IV has some of the most interesting glitches in the entire series, so I'd very much like to see that one next.

[@sourlemon1002]

“How easily can you glitch Pokémon emerald?” Pretty frickin easily

The clone glitch can also be used in reverse to delete pokemon. Super useful for removing bad eggs

[@Zackeezy]

My friend and I were playing blue version. He was showing me the speed run you do by manipulating code. He beat the game but kept playing. We encountered some weird glitches. Since he used brock skip, the NPC that normally tells you you can't go was gone. Well we kept messing with it and found that if we tossed a certain item, it would reset the sprites. And we were able to do Brock skip again to go all the way to Cerulean cave. Well we reset and thought "yo let's do brock skip but instead of speedrunning we catch mewtwo and beat the game with just mewtwo" so we tried. Come to find out, you need surf. Well, defeated, he kept messing with items in the code and we found an item that when used, lets you surf! So we moved it up in the inventory so that moving areas wouldn't overwrite it. We also moved some code that was seen by the inventory as master balls. We went back to cerulean cave and caught a lickitung to accompany us through the cave along with our bulbasaur. We made it to Mewtwo and caught him. He beat three gyms with this mewtwo before getting bored and abandoning the run. I would love to see if there's a way to find a consistent way to do that.

[@warburner87]

you probably already found it out by now, but check out the pokemon blue RBA run, reverse badge acquisition. it does exactly what you are asking and really quickly too. i think it was done at a marathon, one of the gdq's iirc, so you can get some runner commentary on the run as well to help you figure out what is going on.

[@RTDelete]

Hey, been a while since I’ve been here, glad to have rediscovered this channel

[@ChickasaurusGL]

Hi! Nice video. ^^ Thanks for the credit in your description :) (I've noticed a lot more of the really popular Pokétubers [in your range like 100k-1m+) are covering Pokémon glitches in more depth now and also since Sword/Shield have major glitches now.. It would be cool to see more people do it. There were a good number already, but e.g. in the past Tamashii and Scykoh did some, and MissingnoXpert was popular (but most glitch information is there already found; just obscure). It seems in the past, the most popular Pokétubers have tended to only do them in brief detail until more recently (unlike say Mario glitchers like Pannenkoek), and some real but powerful glitches are left obscure. There are hardcore glitchers who frequently find new stuff even in Generation I (I guess I'm one, but programming stuff I tend to just catch up with the more tech communities like the pret (Pokémon disassembly) communities- also TheZZAZZGlitch and Crystal_ are better programmers than me) since like 2008 before lots of KZbinrs did commentary, but strangely we tend to be obscure. I recommend Metarkrai for some of the most in-depth Pomeg stuff. I do a lot of Generation I and II stuff including stuff at a glance seems complex (there are two big glitch communities really, and many more smaller obscure ones.. Glitch City Laboratories and (in another sense) organised Pokémon speedrunners though the latter seem to be more often on say, Discord). While to some extent these exploits are popular already; for instance, there is an actual 'glitch' (no ROM hack) (the actual bug is redirecting the flow of code to RAM through glitch scripts, bad OAM DMA etc.) lets you redirect the flow of code to create your own S.S. Anne Mew glitch got a lot of views on a channel related to Games Done Quick or similar (also say.. there is "LGFly"; the 151 catch em all video and what Shenanagans does, thanks to what the speedrunners and people like luckytyphlosion did - I notice a Pokétuber made a video about LGFly not too long ago, though LGFly is dated now) you can in fact create virtually any glitch you want now in Generation I/II with ACE within hardware constraints and size of the ROM (in speedruns though, there are categories that ban ACE etc.) (ACE though.. for instance, you could literally make the game say "Stop cheating. OK thanks." and give you a Mew. Or even play custom PCM sound effects (for Pokémon Yellow which uses them like the "Pikachu!" sound effect on the title screen, and it's seems people still don't know) like I found out my own method how to do it even though my "Mario 64 File Select" sound effect fills up like a whole section of the save file (in the past someone else tested ACE to the limit though to feed new code every frame with button presses and like.. turn Yellow into a simulation of Pokémon Gold). Also I made a custom tileset Mario Land Glitch City that plays that heavily compressed Mario 64 File Select theme, and you can even do arbitrary code execution in Generation III. (These aren't ROM hacks; but are basically modifying the save file and temporary in-game variables like PC Pokémon to an extreme, just enough so it could pass as one. Another thing you can do is set up a randomiser with an original official Game Pak and no cheating device with enough patience. Wipe the save file and the randomiser is gone until you set it up with glitches again though. But anything you can code you can do now; even (which have been done) Pokémon Tetris and Pong). Also you can create your own custom Pokémon. They aren't really new Pokémon, but you use arbitrary code execution to mess with the sprite pointer (or use one of the rare glitch Pokémon with WRAM glitch Pokémon sprites etc.) to read the sprite from RAM (the previously mentioned temporary in-game variables like your PC Pokémon) where you can make your own (I did Shrek).

[@jaredcrosby3832]

The Emerald Safari zone was the best Safari zone on the Gameboy tbh. Just grinding pokeblocks to get the right natures and the general feel of the zones just made it way more interesting to do versus Kanto and Sinnoh too

Aw man, I was hoping you would mention the Thunderbolt sound effect glitch. It's happened to me a total of 4 times so far in the last year!

[@CallMeFreakFujiko]

For Pokemon Essentials, the "Underwater warp" locations are actually based on the map above the underwater map and vice versa. It's possible the hideout's map is above Sootopolis in the list and happens to match the coordinates with that house. Or maybe not. It's much easier to fool around with Essentials than the codes for the games themselves so I'm not entirely sure how they made the games.

[@UnassumingVirgo]

I feel like Heart Gold and Soul Silver would be good games to cover, since I haven’t seen much coverage of them glitch wise.

Romhacker here, yes the house in Petalburg City has a warp on its door with the number 0 on the map 0 which is the City. So generally any glitch that would warp you with missing warp location info is probably going to default to that specific house.

Besides the point he made on 2:14, I believe that you were teleported their because the game freaked out and sent you to point of origin, that being the house you spawned at.

[@ScyrousFX]

3:02 The collision is actually correct for this tile in Mirage Tower. The diagonal ladder tiles aren't programmed to have a player walk behind them (which is why in every other instance, they're always in front of a wall). So while the collission is correct, it's the boulder tile that is missing.

There's a glitch I found a few years ago using a GameShark. If you go to the battle frontier and rent their Pokemon, you can use the teleport cheat as you walk through the door into the arena. Then, you'll have successfully stolen 3 lvl 100 Pokemon from the battle frontier, but you'll lose the team you originally had before starting so be careful with that glitch.

[@FierceMask]
