An Aroma Lady is affected by the Trainer Ledge/Fence Collision Glitch.

The Trainer Ledge/Fence Collision Glitch refers to a minor glitch in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire when trainers will appear to walk through a ledge, or fence in order to battle the player. A player character cannot usually walk directly through a ledge without jumping first and he or she will simply be blocked if he or she is at the other side of the ledge. As for a fence the player cannot usually walk through a fence at all, however for the bytes which manage the movement of enemy trainers these factors are not taken into account and that trainer will walk directly through either a ledge or fence regardless, presuming that the player is in the trainer's range of vision.

This glitch was fixed in Spanish versions of Ruby and Sapphire.

The Aroma Lady east of Mauville City

The Aroma Lady "Rose" east of Mauville City is the most well known example of a trainer through normal gameplay that is affected by this glitch. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, this Aroma Lady will keep changing the direction that she is facing until she sees the player at a space ranging from 1-5 steps away and then will walk up to the player, regardless of whether a ledge is in front of her or not. This does not apply to Pokémon Emerald, as the sam Aroma Lady has been placed in a different part of that Route.

It is also notable that this particular Aroma Lady states "The aroma of flowers has a magical power. It cleanses us body and soul." this is an example of a grammar error in the Pokémon games. Her dialogue was changed to "The aroma of flowers has a magical power. It cleanses our body and soul." after the release of Pokémon Emerald.

The Gentleman west of Lilycove City

The Gentleman "Walter" in Route 121 west of Lilycove City is also affected by the Trainer Ledge/Fence Collision Glitch. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, this Gentleman will always walk up to the player to battle him or her, sometimes walking through a nearby fence.

The Tuber in the Abandoned Ship

Tuber Charlie in the Abandoned Ship is also affected by this glitch. From the entrance of the ship, the Tuber is to the adjacent room, to the left, walking in a circle around some of the inner rooms. If he faces to the right and the player happens to be in his line of sight, the Tuber will approach the player, walking through the black wall in the process.
