Glitch item: Difference between revisions

Types of glitch items:

*[[Unterminated name glitch item]]s: These are items without a 0x50 byte in the first 20 characters of their name. They can be used for various [[buffer overflow]] techniques with specific tiles on the screen. When the A-Button is pressed on them without a [[0x50 sub-tile]] present on the screen, it is most likely the game will freeze.

*Lag name glitch items: These cause the items list to temporary freeze until the player taps A or B a specific number of times while scrolling up/down. It is advised to tap B instead of A due to the risk of a game freeze from an unterminated name glitch item, which could freeze the game, and potentially destroy the save data, especially on Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console versions.

*[[Partial escape glitch item]]s: These allow for the player to partially escape from a wild battle, or restart a Trainer battle.

*[[:Category:Screen data saving glitch items|Screen data saving glitch items]]: These allow for the player to create a copy of the screen while the items menu is open, which is useful for [[Rival LOL glitch]] or a similar glitch.

*RAM name items: These are not known to exist in the English versions, but an example is [[ItemDexJP/B:000]] from {{JB}}.
