The purposes of these error codes were never documented by Nintendo. They can appear in multiple ways through various [[glitches]] such as different variations of the [[Ditto Trick]]. |
||
'Legitimate' error codes appear to range from 1 to 99 however, other error codes do exist such as the [[Zero Error|0 error]] and errors which use other symbols in the byte which manages what symbols should be displayed in game such as a "B6 error". Error codes in this generation however, often appear within [[glitch dialog|glitchy text]], so what may actually seem like an 'error code' may not be. |
|||
These in theory, are often considered to be beta elements because there is no evidence to support whether the game 'deliberately' makes these error messages appear, or whether they appear by coincidence (but were once planned to be functionable) from the effects of the [[glitches]] themselves. |

In Pokémon Red and Blue, error codes are displayed in the form of "X ERROR". In Pokémon Yellow however, they are displayed in the form of "X error". The exact reason for this is unclear, although the string "error" is used once in the game; if the player attempts to print out either the highscores for [[bp:Pikachu's Beach|Pikachu's Beach]] or the [[bp:Diploma|Diploma]] but recieves a [[Error codes#Printer errors|printer error]], when he or she returns to the overworld he or she will recieve the text "PRINT error!". |
