Expanded party: Difference between revisions
→In {{RGBY}}
Line 8:
An expanded party can be obtained with the [[SRAM glitch]] (including from a save file erased with Up+Select+B, which will give the player 255 party Pokémon), [[Super Glitch]], special menu [[select glitch]]es (by swapping lift destination and Cerulean City badge man entries), and arbitrary code execution.
===Without using the SRAM glitch===
Another means of obtaining the expanded party is as such:
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
*Optionally (but recommended so viewing the expanded party doesn't freeze the game), the player can withdraw a Pokémon from the box, resulting in a party size matching the [[The Big HEX List|index number]] of the chosen Pokémon (for instance, withdrawing Exeggutor makes the expanded party not freeze but changes the party size to 10 (0x0A), and withdrawing [[GlitchDex/Y:255|Q (0xFF)]] makes the expanded party not freeze but keeps the size at 255)). Only the first species byte of the stored Pokémon matters.
===Applications===
From the expanded party, it is possible to perform many tasks; such as:
Line 27 ⟶ 29:
Sometimes freezes occur when switching certain Pokémon beyond slot 6 or with a closed menu Select glitch due to the [[zero maximum HP glitch]], in which one of the Pokémon has 0 maximum HP but over 0 current HP. This can be worked around by having a 0xFF Pokémon above the desired slot to place the 0 maximum HP Pokémon, so the game doesn't have to handle the HP (with the problem possibly caused by a division by zero when the game attempts to draw the HP bar).
===Banning in speedruns===
The expanded party has been banned from 151 Pokémon speedruns for both ([http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Red/Blue/151_Pok%C3%A9mon#Rules Red/Blue] and [http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Yellow/151_Pok%C3%A9mon#Rules Yellow]); the rational that using the glitch to obtain Pokémon wouldn't be seen as obtaining them.
