Glitch: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

There is a degree of controversy of what is a glitch, such as whether intended mechanics that lead to unintended exploits are classed as glitches (such as [[date change exploit]]), or whether accidental exploits (such as [[red bar manipulation]]) are glitches.

In the Pokémon speedrunning community, [[go past the Marowak ghost without a Silph Scope]] is allowed in glitchless speedruns, despite it not being the developer's intention for the player to skip Marowak without the Silph Scope. ~~Red~~ ~~bar~~ ~~manipulation~~ is ~~allowed~~ ~~but~~ ~~realistically~~ is ~~impossible~~ to ~~avoid~~ ~~without intentionally trying to~~ ~~avoid~~ ~~getting~~ a ~~Pokémon~~ to ~~low~~ ~~health.~~ ~~[[Bike~~ ~~Shop instant text glitch]] was once allowed as well, but later banned~~.

In the Pokémon speedrunning community, [[go past the Marowak ghost without a Silph Scope]] is allowed in standard glitchless speedruns, despite it not being the developer's intention for the player to skip Marowak without the Silph Scope (and became the convention). A later category known as "Any% Glitchless (Classic)" bans using a Poké Doll on the ghost Marowak.

Red bar manipulation is allowed but realistically is impossible to avoid without intentionally trying to avoid getting a Pokémon to low health. [[Bike Shop instant text glitch]] was once allowed as well, but later banned.

Some differentiate between "bug" and "glitch", for example possibly by identifying a bug as something that was clearly an error in the programming code, i.e. Game Boy ASM etc. ([[programming logic error]]) however the properties of such exploits for distinction between bug and glitch can be vague. Another distinction is of glitch being an error in computer hardware rather than software, however a different definition of glitch was later socially constructed in video gaming communities.
