A '''glitch contact''' or '''glitch caller''' is an unused 'phone number' in the Pokégear.
A '''glitch caller''', in the second generation of Pokémon games, is an unused phone number in the Pokégear. Such callers, which may only be contacted when using a [[game-altering device]], have invalid (or no) data associated with them. Most of their names are derived from name banks in the game's memory, while others use [[glitch text]]. A full comprehensive list will be given in the PhoneDex once it is completed.
 
In the past they were only available through a [[cheating device]], but in [http://tasvideos.org/4084S.html TheZZAZZGlitch's Pokémon Gold glitched in 1:30:08.36] tool assisted speed-run, contact FF was made available via [[Coin Case glitch|Coin Case arbitrary code exectuion]] without cheats.
Most glitch callers crash the game or trigger the [[Glitch Dimension]], while others don't do anything at all. However, others trigger interesting effects, such as D8. When a player is called by D8, they will be able to walk through walls and access [[Glitch City]] for the duration of the call. Other glitch callers will play the credits (and one of them will allow the player to save and beat the game afterward.) Another glitch caller, when called, will give the player a Master Ball before promptly crashing the game.
 
Some glitch contacts use glitchy names, while others use real sounding names, such as Pokémon Gold/Silver's "Whitney: Leader" (hex:55) or "Grunt: Youngster" (hex:56).
 
Glitch contacts may only be available to call at certain times of the day.
 
==Effects==
==Method (Pokémon Gold and Silver)==
When a glitch contact is called or when the player receives a phone call from them (this may be possible to force with the GameShark code 01048FD1 depending on the contact), they can cause a variety of glitch effects, like freezes, [[Glitch Dimension]]s and effects that are unique like:
#Enter the [[GameShark]] code '''01XXC6D9''', where ''XX'' should be replaced with the [[hex]] identifier of the glitch caller (such as D8, mentioned above). Players who want to be contacted by the glitch caller (rather than the other way around) should also enable the code '''01048FD1'''.
 
#If using 01XXC6D9 access your contact list through the Pokégear. The original trainer should have been replaced by a glitch caller occupying the same hexadecimal identifier you entered. If combined with 01048FD1 the glitch caller should contact you every four seconds.
*Gold/Silver's hex:AF giving the player a Master Ball, then freezing the game when called.
*Crystal's hex:5D ("Jessica: Copies a move") giving the player a HM06, then freezing the game when called.
*When a player is about to be called by Gold/Silver's hex:D8, they will wander around before hex:D8 rings, and again after the call ends. The player may get trapped. The player is able to [[walk through walls]] and access [[Glitch City]] through this contact when the player wanders around.
*Certain glitch callers may play the credits, including Gold/Silver's hex:A9, hex:B6, hex:E2 and hex:FF.
 
==GameShark codes==
In Pokémon Gold/Silver, the code '''01xxC6D9''' replaces the player's first contact in the phone section of the Pokégear, where ''xx'' should be replaced with the [[hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] identifier of the glitch contact (such as D8, mentioned above).
 
If the player wants to be contacted by the glitch caller (rather than the other way around), they should also enable the code '''01048FD1''', which makes certain contacts call you after a short period of time.
 
In Pokémon Crystal, the equivalent first contact changing code is '''01xx7CDC'''.
