Glitch: Difference between revisions

Furthermore, it is generally understood that intended mechanics leading to unintended exploits does not count as glitches. Many speedrun strategies are likely not how the developers envisioned the game to be played, such as intentionally going to low HP to shorten sound effects (i.e. [[red bar manipulation]]), or using X Accuracy and X Speed with one-hit KO moves to sweep opposing teams, but they are logically consistent with the intended mechanics of the game, so most people would not consider them glitches. On the other end of the spectrum, something like the [[trainer escape glitch]] also stems from the "intended mechanics" of engaging trainers, but clearly leads to glitchy results. The big ambiguity is where "game mechanics" end and where "gameplay strategies" begin.
