Partially unused and glitched: Difference between revisions

Line 11:
*Many 'Pokémon' that retrieve [[placeholder]] data in general, such as [[??????????]] and the function to make its sprite a "?" in a circle, [[? (glitch Pokémon)]]'s sprite; in those cases they are commonly forced as [[glitch Pokémon]] so bring some invalid data with them (such as base stats for glitch Pokémon with index numbers other than 0 and 252-276/index numbers greater than 439). Possibly [[- (glitch Pokémon)|-]] (while appearing as an Egg named "-" that partially behaves like one, it has base stats and types which are glitched and were never intentionally programmed. This is a similar case to [[Generation II glitch Egg (disambiguation)|Generation II glitch Egg]] before it, and its back-sprites which are glitch sprites).
===Items===
{{Main|Unused items}}
*The unused rank names and badges, such as かいがらバッヂ (ShellBadge) or プチマスタ (Petit Master) are a [https://tcrf.net/Development:Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue/Miscellaneous_Data#Badges_and_Ranks leftover from development] (their names are corrupted/[[mojibake]] outside of the Japanese versions), but unintentionally can be forced as glitch items beyond the index number of the last valid non-TM/HM (Max Elixer; 0x53) with invalid effects because the data structures for the names are close together (this also applies to the names of floor destinations beginning with [[B2F]], strings from the new name screen such as [[ItemDex/RB:176|JACK]], etc.)
*[[????? (0x07 glitch item)]] and [[????? (0x2C glitch item)]] are remnants of unused items but are considered glitch items. The ????? (0x07) can be used as a substitute for Surfing and was called Lapras (ラプラス) in the source code leaks, but item 0x2C (an item that brings up Oak's message that it isn't the time to use it) still has no name ("???") even in the source code leaks. ????? itself is the later version of the ??? placeholder item name for items that haven't been finished yet or are never meant to be used. In the source code leaks, there were more of these items. (Some ???became Safari Ball, BoulderBadge, CascadeBadge, ThunderBadge, RainbowBadge, SoulBadge, MarshBadge, VolcanoBadge, EarthBadge, unused PP Up; though it is possible some of the ???split into items with a different intended purpose).
*The item versions of the BoulderBadge through to EarthBadge have valid names and effects, but do not appear as actual items and may be considered as glitch items. However, they appear in a different form for the list of badges at the badge man's house in Cerulean City; where instead selecting them brings up a description for that badge. The BoulderBadge and CascadeBadge act like throwing bait and throwing a rock in the Safari Zone respectively (affecting the opposing Pokémon's catch rate), while the rest bring up Oak's message that it isn't the time to use the item.
*The unused PP Up copy may also be considered as a glitch item, and brings up Oak's message that it isn't the time to use it. It also has a different price at the Poké Mart (worth 9800 Pokédollars instead of 0).
*The unused inventory version of the Pokédex.
*The unused inventory version of the Safari Ball. This has been carried forward through the Pokémon generations, and finally became a legitimate item (without a cheating device) in Pokémon Sword and Shield's The Isle of Armor expansion as a possible item from the [[bp:Cram-o-matic|Cram-o-matic]].
*The unused inventory version of a Game Corner Coin. In the source code leaks, it was called the パチンコダマ (Pachinko Ball).
*The set of unused rank names and badges, such as かいがらバッヂ (ShellBadge) or プチマスタ (Petit Master) are a [https://tcrf.net/Development:Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue/Miscellaneous_Data#Badges_and_Ranks leftover from development] (their names are corrupted/[[mojibake]] outside of the Japanese versions), but unintentionally can be forced as glitch items beyond the index number of the last valid non-TM/HM (Max Elixer; 0x53) with invalid effects because the data structures for the names are close together (this also applies to the names of floor destinations beginning with [[B2F]], strings from the new name screen such as [[ItemDex/RB:176|JACK]], etc.)
*The [[Teru-Sama]] (カビチュウ) are remnants of unused items but may also be considered as glitch items. There are 32 different Teru-Sama in Gold/Silver, and four of them became Pokémon Crystal exclusive items; Clear Bell (hex:46), the GS Ball (hex:73), the Blue Card (hex:74) and the Egg Ticket (hex:81). Its international name may be a reference to Western-release programmer [[bp:Teruki Murakawa|Teruki Murakawa]] and the Japanese honorific [[wp:-sama|-sama]], and its Japanese name as an unexplained pun on カビゴン (Snorlax) and ピカチュウ (Pikachu), although there has been an internal joke within [[bp:Game Freak|Game Freak]] pertaining to [[bp:Kōji Nishino|Kōji Nishino]] looking similar to "Snorlax" and apparently eating moldy (黴, ''kabi'') food. It is typically not possible to use the Teru-Sama (only give them to a Pokémon or toss them), unlike the ????? from Red/Blue/Yellow. The purchase price for each Teru-Sama is 39,321 Pokédollars but this may have been a side-effect of Game Freak potentially using binary-coded decimal for items in Pokémon Gold and Silver in the past but no longer using it in the final versions (because 39321 is 9999 in binary coded decimal; which would have probably made it 9999 Pokédollars at the time). Originally, a few of the [https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_and_Silver#Cut_Item_List original items behind the Teru-Sama] were discovered thanks to data-mining; for instance, Teru-Sama 0x38 will act as a Poké Flute if a Use option is hacked on to the item, and more (but not all) have been found thanks to the source code leaks.
*There are duplicates of [[TM04 (useless)|TM04]] and [[TM28 (useless)|TM28]] in Generation II without any uses, only to give, toss or sell them for 19660 Pokédollars. The item descriptions match the real TMs. Their index numbers are located just after the real TM04 and TM28 items.
*TM51-TM55 from Generation I (which have the effects of HMs Cut through to Flash as disposable TMs) have their names as a result of a subroutine to generate TM and HM names based on the index number. HM08-HM13 also exist in Generation II.
 
===Trainers===
*While [[TrainerDex/RB:000|Trainer 0x00]] (accessed with a Special stat of 200 during the [[Trainer escape glitch]]) is a [[glitch Trainer]] with no signs (except its placing as the first indexed Trainer counting 0x00) of ever being used in the final games, it may have belonged to an unreleased [https://tcrf.net/File:PokemonRGBY-Dealer0.png valid Trainer] according to the source code leaks.
