News Reporter trick

This article is incomplete. Please feel free to add any missing information about the subject. It is missing: There is a lot more to this trick, such as how to use it to unlock Faraway Island and Birth Island; in combination with double corruption.

The News Reporter trick is an extension to Pomeg data corruption glitch, but more specifically, to any glitch that allows the player to obtain a Decamark. When the player views the summary of a specific Decamark, it causes a buffer overflow; causing the game to cause mass corruption of the memory. There are Decamarks with names just long enough but not too short, that can be abused for this glitch.

Applications

• Corrupting the 'used Pokémon in battle' flag to an invalid value (Pokémon #104). With careful use, the player can lose HP on that Pokémon to set an event flag; tricking the game into allowing the player to access Faraway Island or Birth Island if the tickets have been obtained with double corruption.
• Nickname any Pokémon (Generation III)
