Glitch Dimension: Difference between revisions

The term '''Glitch Dimension''' is a misnomer given to the consequence of a GameBoy game attempting to use an in built [[error trap]] to reset the game, but without changing the newer colour palette back to the default. It most commonly occurs in ''Pokémon Gold'', ''Silver'', and ''Crystal'' but on rarer occassions it can happen in the [[bp:Generation I|Generation I]] Pokémon games and unrelated games such as [[wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]]. It is not a new 'region' in the sense that [[Glitch City]] is, but it is commonly mistaken for the Johto equivalent of Glitch City. There are many ways to make the game reset itself into a Glitch Dimension and there are a few known ways to make the game fail to restart itself correctly without the use of a [[game-altering device]]. It is notable however, that if the player attempts one of these methods in Pokémon Crystal (or any game which is incompatible for use on the [[wikipedia:Super GameBoy|Super GameBoy]]), after the game restarts itself, the colours will change but the game becomes unplayable until it is restarted manually, as it will display the message "[[This Game Pak is designed only for use on the Game Boy Color.]]"
