If the glitch was successful, a Continue option will be present when the game is started again, but the player's party will be replaced by the existing party data in the SRAM. In particular, the player will be able to access their Pokémon screen even if they never received the starter (unless the party data in the SRAM had 0 Pokémon).

==Explanation==
When saving the game in Generation I, the game calls three functions, each only saving a part of it, and the parts are in fact overlapping:
* The first function<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/
* The second function<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/
* The third function<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/
Besides being used for a full save, the third function is also used after trading a Pokémon in the Cable Club. Presumably at least one of the first two functions is also intended to be used somewhere else, but they don't seem to be in the final game.
