The '''SRAM glitch''', also known as '''Save corruption glitch''' and '''Save abuse glitch''', is a glitchmethod thatof performing a partial save in {{RBY}}. It notably allows allows the player to perform the [[send party Pokémon to a new game]] or [[255 Pokémon glitch]] asimmediately soonafter asstarting theya arenew in their roomgame.
 
Keep in mind that when attempting this glitch, the necessary timing is very precise (a handful of frames, ie less than a quarter of a second), so emulators and savestates are privileged.
 
==Procedure==
The principle of the glitch is:
# Start a Newnew game
# Play as much as you wish, without saving
# Begin to save the game
# At a very precise moment, power off/ or reset the console. The timing is version-dependent and is easier on {{Y}}.
 
The cue is to power off/ or reset after the "Yes/No" dialog box has disappeared, but before the text changes to "Saving..."
 
Holding START+SELECT+A+B will not work, as the game prevents soft resets while it is saving.
Line 23:
The [[send party Pokémon to a new game]] glitch has the only difference that you have to start a new game while a save file from which you wish to import your Pokémon present. However, failing the glitch may render the file unattainable; if the save file is marked as "destroyed", the glitch still has a slight chance to work if attempted again.
 
If the glitch was successful, a Continue option will be present when the game is started again, and the player will be able to access their Pokémon screen. In the case of the 255 Pokémon glitch, the screen will lookappear liketo itshow isnothing blankin the party.
 
There are two ways the glitch can fail: either when rebooting the game the message "theThe savefile filedata is destroyed!" will appear, which indicates (the reset happened too early) whichand will remove the Continue option, or a Continue option will appear but the Pokémon screen cannot be accessed, indicating that (the reset washappened too late). Attempting the glitch is still possible.
