Glitch: Difference between revisions

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]], possibly [[go past the Marowak ghost without a Silph Scope]]), 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 standard glitchless speedruns, despite it not being the developer's intention for the player to skip Marowak without the Silph Scope (and allowing this glitch became the convention). A later category known as "Any% Glitchless (Classic)" based on Japanese community rules bans using a Poké Doll on the ghost Marowak, as well as hard resets (which allow for [[luck manipulation]]).
