==Explanation==
This glitch happens when a NPC becomes visible for the first time since the player has entered the map. It happens either naturally when a text box pops out on the same step (Celadon City and Cinnabar Island Amazing Men) or can be humanly provoked by popping the start menu on that step; in that case it only works if at that precise time you enter a new map.
The Amazing Bike Seller is considered a special case of the first case, because for some reason the bike uses the "hidden objects" code path, which takes precedence over updating sprites. Reading signs or talking to NPCs won't work this way.
In both cases, the NPC appears at the top left corner of the screen, '''at the time the player enters the map'''. That means that, for example, if the player has moved three steps left and one step up since entering the map, the NPC will appear three steps right and one step down from the top left corner (this is the case for the Celadon City Amazing Man).
