Ok, there is this place in the original pokemon games called Glitch City. Nothing is important about glitch city, just odd to go there. Some even say missingno is obtainalbe there, but it isn't proven. I have been there, never seen it. Anyways, this glitch is a lot more detailed than the others. And the credit is of course wikipedia, you can go there if you want to get more information.
|Going there|
Glitch City can be activated by following these steps:
1.Bring a Pokémon that knows Fly
2.Go into the Safari Zone and then go back out through the same door twice.
3.When asked, "Leaving early?", say no.
After being sent back into the Safari Zone, save the game, shut it off, and turn it back on.
4.Leave the Safari Zone again, and you will be asked if you want to enter the Safari Zone and pay $500, even though you are already in there. Say no.
5.You will be sent back into Fuschia City. Once you are in Fuschia City, use a Pokémon to Fly to Cinnabar Island.
6.Go to the east (right) coast, and Surf up and down with a Pokémon that knows Surf. You will run into Pokémon that are usually seen in the Safari Zone. Surf until an announcement comes up that reads "Ding-Dong!" when you have taken 500 steps.
7.You will be sent to the Safari building. When you leave the building, you will be in Glitch City.
|Reason for Occurring|
"Glitch City" is essentially what happens when the game does not know which map to insert the player into, so the player is plunked into an area that does not exist. Glitch City may only be entered if the Safari Timer hit 0 while the player was in a map that has no doors or cave entrances (such as Sea Route 20). After the character leaves the Safari building after their session is over, the game tries to put them back onto the map they were previously in. However, if there were no doors or cave entrances (or entrance points of any kind) then the player finds him- or herself in Glitch City.
|Location|
There is more than one Glitch City, and one can find them by going somewhere other than Cinnabar (like Cycling Road or Victory Road).This means that you can create different glitch cities depending on where you are when the timer sounds. The Seafoam Islands and a few routes allows the player to move around; however, in most other Glitch Cities, the player will be surrounded by glitches and unable to walk around.
When a player uses their map in the Glitch City accessed through the Cinnabar Coast, it will say that they are in the Sea Route 20. However, Glitch City looks nothing like the Sea Route 20. (The player's map depends on which Glitch City they went to; for example, if the player goes to Cycling road instead of the Cinnabar Coast, the map will say the player is on Cycling Road instead of Sea Route 20). The Glitch City accessed through the Cinnabar Coast is located below Sea Route 20.
|Highlights|
The most common Pokémon found in the Glitch City accessed through the Cinnabar coast are Tentacool. A player can also fish for Pokémon in this Glitch City.
Going too far to the left or right will often get the player stuck in an invisible wall. If one presses Start, often the graphics and pixels of the city will change briefly.
In Pokemon Yellow you may also see Pikachu running in random places.
There is a connection with this and the Missingno glitch. The area in which the surfing part of the glitch takes place has some sort of 'unspecified' designator given by the designers which makes numerous glitches happen.
The music in the Glitch City accessed through the Cinnabar Coast is the same music theme as the one played on routes.
In Glitch City, pixels and graphics from different parts of the game are mixed up (see picture). The land and water can also be mixed up so sometimes it appears that the player is standing on water or surfing on land. This is usually caused by using a fishing rod or pausing the game (which causes parts of Glitch City to change). If the whole city turns to water (which is sometimes possible), the player can keep surfing forever until the player gets stuck or the game automatically shuts off. (However, a player should not surf for long distances while in Glitch City, because it can corrupt a player's game.) In the Yellow version, if one goes to the right, they will find a row with 3 9's. If you walk into this, Pikachu will disappear. When you walk out of it, Pikachu will follow your "recorded" path back to you.
In the Glitch City accessed through the Cinnabar Coast, in some cases you are able to surf in northern direction until you reach the barrier that normally prevents you to leave Sea Route 20 northward. When reached, however, the graphics become even more glitchy and the entire game freezes. If this is done while playing Pokemon Stadium, it will say the game has been corrputed, but the game is actually not corrupted (Pokemon Stadium just interprets it as being corrupted).
Because invisible walls that trap the player exist on the western side of the city, going north is usually the only way to escape the "normal" Glitch City. If a player goes to the westernmost "checker-board" water pattern in the city, and goes left of it one square and then right one square, this will enable the entire city to become water (when the player presses "start") and allow the player to swim north until they reach the barrier that normally cannot be crossed (causing the game to freeze). Once the player is far enough north, before reaching the northern border the player can swim west or east for a long period of time until the game freezes.
The reason the game freezes when heading too far north, west or east is because the player is surfing into a location that does not exist in the game's memory; as a result, the game cannot function. It also happens in places that do exist but are completely altered. For example, when the player is able to surf considerably far north and then surfs west, they will reach where Cinnabar Island should be. However, because the game is in a glitched state it does not recognize the Island and when the player tries to go where the Island is, it will freeze. (The reason flying out of Glitch City successfully ends the Glitch is because those places are in different parts of the games memory.)
