Glitch: Difference between revisions

The concept of "non-natural glitches" is not always clear. It could be argued that, the behaviors under a glitched game state are all undefined, with none more "unintended" than the others. As such, it can be difficult to differentiate a non-natural glitches from "logical consequences" of other glitches. For example, depositing a [[glitch Pokémon]] in the Day Care results in a glitch Pokémon in the Day Care, which is definitely an unintended game state, but no one would call that a "non-natural glitch" in and of itself. On the other hand, some behaviors are surprising and unintuitive even considering the fact that the game was already in a glitched state. In the double Blue glitch example, since the player is able to play the game largely normally without the Boulder Badge, they probably would not expect anything out of the ordinary on Route 22, let alone a game freeze. Complicating the matter is the fact that "surprising and unintuitive" depends on the player's understanding of the parent glitch. A player accessing the [[expanded item pack]] for the first time may be surprised that there are so many glitch items, or that manipulating them would affect other aspects of the game, but for an experienced glitch researcher, that is just how the expanded item pack works.
