(→Save corruption: Just added a note for now. I am still looking for more trustworthy information on the exact frame windows (maybe even that phrase is inaccurate since the sub-frame timing matters).) |

If the player starts a new game while a save file already exists, and successfully performs the SRAM glitch, then the party Pokémon from the old save file will appear in the new game. |

If the glitch fails due to the reset happening too early, then the game will say "The file data is destroyed!", but the saved party Pokémon data is in fact not overwritten.

(Of course, if the reset happens too late and the save was successful, then the party would be overwritten and unable to be retrieved.) |
