Pokémon Yellow: Difference between revisions

The earliest point a [[trainer escape glitch|trainer escape]] could be performed is still in front of the last trainer in Viridian Forest, and again this early in the game it is impossible to encounter a MissingNo. (or any other glitch Pokémon) with the Special stat encounter to break the game. The speedrun method for Red and Blue relies on very fine details of the game engine, and will not work on Yellow. Instead, speedrun routes of Yellow usually exploits the [[text box ID matching]] aspect of the trainer escape glitch, displaying a glitch text box that reads its contents from the OAM buffer, which can be manipulated to have a 0xFE byte as the first byte of the glitch text box, which becomes a glitch mart. Various glitch items, including the ACE glitch item [[ItemDex/Y:089|4F]], can be purchased from this glitch mart. To access this glitched mart in RTA, runners would perform a carefully designed sequence of actions consisting of both [[luck manipulation]] and glitch setup, collectively known as "THE Manip"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DonALfmjZOk Video demonstration of "THE Manip"]</ref>. One advantage of "THE Manip" is that, since it does not execute arbitrary code from the RAM per se, it can also be used in speedrun categories that do not allow ACE (where glitch items can be bought to enable non-ACE glitches like the [[Rival's effect]] or the [[LOL glitch]]).
