[[File:Pokémon Yellow glitch dialog 44h.png|frame|right|CeruleanRoute City6 glitch dialog hex:44, caused by the [[Trainer escape glitch]]'s [[Trainer escape glitch#Text box ID matching|text box ID matching]] trick, with "Wow! Tons of Pokémon stuff!" shelves.]]
'''Glitch dialog''' or '''glitch dialogue''' refers to the text displayed and the sounds played with invalid message box data in the Pokémon games.
 
Glitch dialog is normally undecipherable and is nonsense without rendering the text box data as pure code and looking into what it was meant to be. Glitch dialog may use glitch characters, that may be taken from other areas of the screen. [[GlitchDex/RB:000|'M (00)]], [[GlitchDex/RB:254|'M (FE)]] and [[GlitchDex/RB:255|'M (FF)]], for example use glitch characters in their name.
 
Control characters such as the name of the player (hex:52 in Red/Blue/Yellow) or the name of the rival (hex:53 in Red/Blue/Yellow), or ROCKET (hex:5E in Red/Blue/Yellow) may appear in glitch dialog.
 
In Generations I and II, when a hex:00 character appears in the middle of the text data, an [[Error codecodes (Generations I and II)|error code]] will appear, in the format "(X) ERROR." (Red/Blue) or "(X) error." (Yellow) with everything after it not shown.
 
In Pokémon Gold and Silver error codes were untranslated and appear as "(x)Df-"

It is very common through hacking, but there are glitches to force glitch dialog as well, including (note this list is not meant to be exhaustive):
 
[u]===Generation I:[/u]===
 
*Through the Pokédex entries of glitch Pokémon.
Line 23:
*Through the [[Seafoam Islands text box glitches]] (Pocket Monsters Red, Green, Blue (JP) only)
 
====Example text box ID matching method====
[u]Generation II:[/u]
*Through [[glitch Unown]].
 
[u]Generation III:[/u]
*Through glitch moves obtained with the [[Generation III bit set glitch]].
 
===Example text box ID matching method===
In Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow, the player can use the [[Trainer escape glitch]]'s [[Trainer escape glitch#Text box ID matching|text box ID matching]] trick to get glitch dialog when they return to the place where the Trainer they escaped from was.
 
Line 35 ⟶ 29:
 
The same method can be used in Pokémon Red and Blue, but the shelves load value hex:42. In this case, returning to Route 6 loads three glitch characters followed by "66 ERROR".
 
[u]===Generation II:[/u]===
*Through [[glitch Unown]].
 
[u]===Generation III:[/u]===
*Through glitch moves obtained with the [[GenerationPomeg IIIdata bit setcorruption glitch]].
