Perpetual spinning effect
The perpetual spinning glitch, also known as the spinning glitch, is a glitch in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow.
Summary
If the player performs the Safari Zone exit glitch but makes their 500th step be on a spinning tile, the effect will persist while walking normally until the player uses another spinning tile.
Furthermore, depending on the location that the glitch was set up, it is possible to temporarily change the player's overworld sprite to a different one while the glitch is in effect. For the English versions, the correspondences are as follows:
Location | Type of sprite |
---|---|
Pallet Town | Professor Oak |
Viridian City | Professor Oak |
Pewter City | Girl |
Cerulean City | Girl |
Lavender Town | Boy |
Vermilion City | Girl |
Celadon City | Police officer |
Fuchsia City | Swimmer |
Saffron City | Boy |
Cinnabar Island | Professor Oak |
Indigo Plateau | Police officer |
Other locations | Girl |
