The official description of this glitch<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/adaj/info/index.html 『ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド・パール』における「壁の中から戻れなくなる」件に関するお知らせ] [Announcement regarding "being stuck in a wall and unable to return" in ''Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl'']</ref> roughly translates as follows: |
||
"After entering the Union Room from the 2nd floor of the Pokémon League, if you go up to the 2nd floor of the Pokémon Center, you may enter the wall (i.e. the [[void]]) and become unable to return." |

Other bug reports specifically mention that this glitch happens when the player ''turns off the game'' in the Union Room, and that when the player loads the save file they find themselves not in front of the Union Room, but at some other place where they have saved before. Only after this [[Wrong warp (Generation IV)|wrong warp]] will the "broken escalator" part of this glitch happen. |

This glitch is potentially more dangerous than the [[Elite Four door glitch]], both because it can more easily happen in normal gameplay, and because even if the player does not save in the void, the "broken escalator" phenomenon will persist. |

Nintendo has published an official method of recovery<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/adpj/info/how_to_recover.html レポート前の場合の修復方法] [Method of recovery before saving the game]</ref> for when the player didn't save in the void, but still has a broken save file that would trigger this glitch if they take the escalator. |
