(For the time being, removed improper uses of "void" that obviously mean "abyss".)

==Mechanics==
InWhen Tweakingtweaking, the game unsuccessfully loads nearby map data which was previously not present on the screen. Within these games maps are broken up into 32x32 squares which are only visible at any one time. When players move out of this region, the next 32x32-tile square is loaded in order to replace the tiles two areas behind them. However, when a player is moving at relatively higher speeds and in specific patterns in between the points at which extra map data is loaded, the game will fail to <!--re-->load the map data properly.
 
==Void exploration==
''See [[Void]]''
 
Tweaking and Void Exploring are often regarded as two completely different glitches because of the fact that graphics and collision data has to be activated after exploring the void for a player to access an area as it would appear in normal gameplay. Void Exploring by itself (if performed wisely) is safer than a complete tweaking run, as it is easier to ensure that the player does not trap his or herself so that he or she cannot escape and it is easier to ensure that the player does not save in an invalid map location or a map with no location data (such as the tentative Jubilife Gym), thus crashing the game with a black screen. When Void Exploring, crashes from invalid map data, called BSoDs (Black Screen of Death) are still possible by testing and <!--not -->using the Explorer Kit (this is not to be confused with a Blackout or Freeze, as a Freeze occurs when an unexecutable script is attempted to be executed, and a Blackout is a temporary absence of graphical data, caused by any number of things). If any [[flag]] is activated in-game via Tweaking, for example by first recieving the Pal Pad in a downstairs Pokémon Center area, this will also affect the player's relative map location in some way.
 
==Background==
Line 15 ⟶ 20:
After a fairly long time period of disappointment from some fans of the Surf through Elite Four door glitch, a few months after English versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the Tweaking glitch was first discovered in areas such as Jubilife City and the route below Solaceon Town by performing the method described above.
 
When the Tweaking glitch has been performed successfully, the player will hopefully be able to travel through a black "[[abyss]]" (invisible abyss) when he/she enters a building from behind, so that he or she can access a desirable location. However, sometimes the player cannot access the correct abyss and occassionally the game may [[Game freeze|freeze]]. If the player wants to escape the void, however, they can use the moves Fly, Dig or Teleport if possible, enter a building or other warp.
 
==Arceus==
In January 2016, a method for discovering Arceus through a trick known as the "[[retireRETIRE glitch]]" (named after a menu option that was only intended to be used in Pal Park) was discovered.
 
This trick works by running Hall of Origin's script 3 upon choosing to retire.
 
Additionally segments of the Hall of Origin were originally available through the use of tweaking (without the retire trick) in the past, although none allowed the player to encounter Arceus.
