Glitch City RAM manipulation (Cut abuse): Difference between revisions

 

'''Glitch City RAM manipulation''' is a glitch that allows the player to edit RAM by cutting trees in a specific [[Glitch City]], named ''RAM City''. This allows the player to change a value in RAM from a specific set to another specific value.

 

==Uses==

* Each of these values change to another fixed value.

* Not every byte can be changed this way.

 

==General pattern==

 

The only true requirement is the ability to CUT. The current methods of accessing the Glitch City currently require the player to access Fuchsia City, but a method only requiring Pewter City will maybe be developed.

 

==Accessing the Glitch City==

# The player should stand here : [[File:GCRM_entry_point.png|frame|right]]

# The RAM City can be accessed by walking left until the player is standing on water ; the player will be at coordinates ($DC ; $63).

 

==Reaching the correct place==

 

To fix the number of items in the PC, you can either retrieve 59 items from your PC (difficult) or use [[Arbitrary code execution]] (longer but 100% safe).

 

===Manipulating Pokémon===

 

To change the species of your 5th party Pokémon, go 90 steps left (92 in Yellow) and 123 up. Refer to [[The Big HEX List]] to find out who can be converted into who. (Example : Lickitung into Exeggutor)

 

====Changing attacks====

 

Example of modification : turn Flamethrower into Solarbeam ! Gives a Fire Pokémon a good defense against Water-type Pokémon.

 

====Changing EXP====

 

If you modify IVs or EVs, the stats won't be re-calculated ; you must either deposit the Pokémon in the PC for the stats to be recalculated, or level up.

 

====Changing stats====

Note that it is perfectly fine to switch Pokémon while in the Glitch City ; but the screen won't be refreshed, so you will have to either open the START menu (temporary) or move away, then back (permanent).
