'''Box breaker glitch''' is a sub-glitch of the [[expanded inventory]] in the PC storage items, allowing the player to access boxes beyond box 12. It can be used for both accessing [[glitch Pokémon]] (including [[unterminated name glitchPokémon (Generation I)|unterminated name Pokémon]]) and as a data copying tool.
 
There are many applications for this glitch, for example, it can be used as an alternative to [[connection copier]] for overwriting the player's name. The exact effects depend on factors such as which glitch box is used (this controls the destination pointer; which is usually supposed to be in SRAM) and the data that was in DA7F/DA80 and beyond prior to changing boxes. Using the glitch carelessly can [[game freeze|freeze]] the game.
 
(Currently, at least), the box breaker glitch is far less useful in the Japanese versions, because the game seems to repeat the valid box source pointers after box 8; so the only known uses are to see a glitch box number, clear a box, or see previous box data mirrored in another box.
==Steps==
#Set up the expanded inventory in the PC. One of the glitches that can be used to do this is the [[dry underflow glitch]].

===Red/Blue name change===
#Have a Pokémon in slot 9 with the name the player desires
#Adjust the quantity of PC item 51's quantity to x141{{refneeded}}x13. or x13(D5A0)
#Go to change boxes and immediately press A to update the player's name
 
===Pokémon creation===
Another confirmed application of the box breaker glitch is to copy a portion of the current PC box into ~FA35 (may be exactly FA35 onward). As the Pokémon Day Care data is nearby, it is possible to manipulate a desired Pokémon species into the Day Care (specifically with the lower byte of stored Pokémon 1's Attack experience); all 256 IDs should be possible, but it is possible if the Pokémon knows a HM move or the [[experience division by zero glitch]] occurs the player may not be able to withdraw it from the Day Care. As expected, having some Pokédollars is required to withdraw the Pokémon as well.
