@@Archer690Channel I mean to be fair, the overwhelming majority of Scarlet/Violet glitches were purely cosmetic with no effect on gameplay, clearly unpolished but it's not like the engine itself was a coding mess with plenty of ways to destroy your game like with R/B/Y. There's a reason people still talk about the bugs in this game almost 30 years later whereas people generally stopped posting about silly-looking errors in Scarlet/Violet like a month or two after it was out, because "glitchiest game ever" material isn't characters sliding around with derpy faces, it's *being able to inject code and reprogram the game by messing around in the pause menu*.

The irony of Psychic being immune to Ghost instead of weak to it is that even if it worked as intended, it still would have had no effect on the competitive meta. The only ghost type moves in Gen 1 are Confuse Ray (a no-damage status move), Night Shade (which does set damage based on your level), and Lick (bad). So since Bug has no good moves either, Psychic still basically would have had effectively no weakness, whether they were coded as weak to Ghost or not.

AND the only Ghost line is also Poison, which makes them Psychic weak. AND the only Ghost line has a terrible Attack stat, and Ghost is physical. It's like the Psychic type is under 4 layers of protection against Ghost. They're behind 4 proxies.

Tbh I think that's a big part of why this oversight exists to begin with. Both ghost and dragon type are treated as quite rare and exotic, as there is only 1 line (3 pokemon) to represent each type in the entire game, and the few moves of either type that exist are (for the most part) atypical. Dragon Rage deals a set amount of damage, so even if dragon was super effective against another type, that wouldn't come into play. The same can be said for a move like night shade (which always deals the same amount as your level). Confuse Ray is a status move, leaving Lick as the only "normal" ghost type move that could theoretically get a super effective buff in the game...and it only deals 20 base damage (making it much weaker than Tackle, which dealt 35 in Gen 1). Even if this oversight was corrected, I doubt anyone would bother trying to use Lick as part of an anti-Psychic strategy when it would be more effective to use any move that deals more than 40 damage instead. To make matters worse, since the only ghosts in Gen 1 are dual Ghost and Poison types, that means that Psychic is super effective against them, making them a bad matchup vs. a Psychic type, which was allegedly their entire purpose. Yes, Gengar is quite fast, so if it knew a move like Gen 2's Shadow Ball, it had a chance of killing the opponent in one shot before it's weakness came into play, but not in Gen 1. The best you could do in Gen 1 was immediately use Hypnosis which had an accuracy of 60%. If the move hit, you could follow it up with Dream Eater, which (for some bizarre reason) is a Psychic Type move, despite the ghosts being the only Pokemon in the game to learn it naturally. Aside from Mew (who learns all TMs), Drowzee and Hypno can learn it via TM, which makes sense, but they don't learn it naturally. In Gen 1, Dream Eater is positioned as a signature move for the ghosts, but not only is it the wrong type, but as a Psychic type move it is pretty worthless vs. a Psychic type Pokemon, as the damage will be halved due to their resistance to Psychic Type moves. You might be better off just using Night Shade...that or never using Ghost Pokemon to fight Psychic Types. A much better choice would be a Pokemon like Snorlax or Chansey that can tank damage and use physical moves that take advantage of the enemy's low defense stat.

Funny piece of trivia about Kinesis. Initially in Sword and Shield, they deleted a whole bunch of moves from the game, and one was Kinesis. Now if you ever bring over a Pokemon with one of these removed moves and check the move description on the summary page, the game will tell you that the move can't be used and recommends deleting it off that Pokemon. When the Isle of Armor rolled around, they re-added Kinesis alongside the Abra line, as well as a few other signature moves of returning veterans like Dragon Hammer and Shadow Bone. However, Game Freak made a slip-up (shocking). Even though they reprogrammed in Kinesis, they forgot to change the move's description. The move itself functioned the same as ever, only the game shamed you for having it on your Alakazam and told you straight to you face to just delete it. Eventually they realized this error, and updated the move's description to reflect its actual effects with the Crown Tundra update. Really exciting move you guys made, where you forgot to change important data for it twice

A fun thing about Focus Energy is that some people assume it's always detrimental to use it, but if you have stat boosts from something like Swords Dance, landing a critical hit ignores those stat boosts. So if you're at +6 and land a critical hit, it'll deal way less damage than it should. So Focus Energy technically does have a use there even if no Pokemon is realistically going to want to use the moveslot and extra turn on that. Pretty funny how a bugged move's only use case is thanks to another oversight.

Going out of bounds won't work due to the reasons you mentioned, but overwriting your y/x coordinates (item #34 quantity/item #35 ID respectively) appropriately during an expanded inventory glitch is how I managed to get it.

I guess that during cutscenes the game doesn't check the "walkability" of specific tiles and assumes all tiles are part of the floor. However NPCs are rendered at the same level that the character and are always impassable, unlike tiles, so the game doesn't let your character occupy the same space.

The reason the Hi Jump Kick glitch happens is because the wDamage WRAM entry is zeroed out too early for the recoil to actually apply. Ergo, the game defaults to 1 damage, which is the minimum possible without division errors. Stadium has the 1/8 recoil in the move description, but likely fails for the exact same reason. It's really odd... The fishing in statues thing happens because the Good Rod and Old Rod have their own encounter tables, and statues are considered to be water. If you use the Super Rod, it won't work, because that has to pull from a separate list of encounter tables!

Not a useless glitch, but curiously between Gen 1 and Stadium 1 is that the 1/256 glitch was fixed! ...except they did it in a really crude way in just running the calculation again, and this won't repeat twice. What this means is in Stadium 1, there's no longer a 1/256 glitch, but instead a 1/65536 chance of missing any move.

Focus Energy can still be useful even though it's bugged. If you want to use the badge boost glitch with something like Swords Dance or Agility and you want to not crit to do less damage, you can use Focus Energy to quarter your chance of critical hits, this doing way more damage with an attacking move than you would if you got a critical hit. You could still get unlucky and crit anyway, but still a very small chance of you critting unless the move is a high critical ratio, but other than that, it's a strat.

I know you didn't mention these glitches in this video, but when chatting with a friend of mine, I realized that he knew very little about old Pokemon glitches. For example, he had no idea that "Missing No" was a real thing, and assumed it was an urban legend like finding a Mew on that truck. When I insisted that it was real he was adamant that I was full of it, even after I explained how to encounter it. Finally he looked it up and we found a KZbin video proving it, and you should have seen the look on his face haha. I followed that up by showing him the way to catch a Mew without cheating and by the end of that conversation he was questioning life. I wonder if he will go on to look up all the weird glitches now out of morbid curiosity.

You should tell him that the mew glitch allows you to encounter every single pokemon in the game, including glitched pokemon and trainers, by using a ditto. Or that it's possible to inject your own custom code into the game to do whatever you want it to do.

I figured that certainly, you were going to mention how due to the devs simply programming Pokémon as unable to be statused by the secondary effects of moves of their own type (which did the intended job of preventing Fire-types from being burned and Ice-types from being frozen), Beedrill's Twinneedle could poison Poison-types. This also meant that the Beedrill and Venomoth lines were the only Pokémon truly immune to being poisoned in Gen 1, as the Bug-type Twinneedle was the only move that wasn't Poison-type that was capable of poisoning.

The most famous examples of this would be Lorelei's Dewgong using Rest or Lance's Dragonite using Aggility against Fighting and Poison types.

fun fact about focus energy: it doesn't so much cut your crit rate as it turns off your focus energy. which is to say, the reason behind gen 1's absurdly high crit rate is that pokemon _effectively get focus energy for free,_ because having focus energy on not only halves your crit rate, but it also skips past an instruction that _doubles_ your crit rate. or, in other words, the code is set up to check if energy has been focused, then take the calculated crit chance and either decrease it or increase it, which is exactly what you'd expect focus energy to do ... except the check for focus energy jumps to the decrease part, not the increase part

This is nonsense, and not how any Pokémon game works. In Gen 1, a critical hit is determined by the game choosing a random number between 0 and 255 If this number is less than the user's base Speed ÷2, then it's a critical hit. (Example: Electrode has base 140 Speed. The game chooses a random number in between 0 and 255. If that number is 69 or less, then it's a critical hit. Slowbro needs to roll 14 or less) If you use Focus Energy, then the number that the game rolls must be less than the user's base Speed ÷8. (Example: Electrode. If the random number is 17 or less, then it's a crit. Slowbro needs to roll 3 or less) If you use a High-crit ratio move (Karate Chop, Razor Leaf, Crabhammer, and Slash) then the number must be less than 8×[Base Speed÷2] (Example: Electrode. The game picks a random numner between 0 and 255. If that number is less than 560, it's a critical hit (1/256 chance to miss, so it's only a 255/256 chance to crit))(Slowbro needs to roll 119 or less) Focus Energy + High-Crit move = 4×[Base Speed÷4] If the game rolls 139 or less, Electrode will crit. Slowbro needs to roll 29 or less

The glitch where focus energy reduces your critical hit chance is actually a positive in some scenarios. Because crits in gen 1 ignore all stat changes, including your own stat boosts, a critical hit by a pokemon with more than +3 on its attacking stat will do less damage than if it hadn't been a crit. Therefore intentionally reducing your critical chance has at least hypothetical utility in Gen 1, e.g. in a nuzlocke run where consistency is key (I don't know if any Gen 1 nuzlockes actually use focus energy though)

It's likely they copypasted the Chansey and forgot to set its pathing off of "turn down".

The fan club glitch is very useful in speedruns/challenge runs because you get the bike voucher and can then immediately warp to Cerulean (assuming you last healed there) to pick up the bicycle from the shop
