The current [[bp:Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]] "Catch 'em All" speedrun route obtains all 151 valid Pokémon using a variety of intended methods and glitches. The glitch used the most to obtain Pokémon is the [[LOL glitch]]. The run also performs the [[dry underflow glitch]] early on both the PC and the item pack, and uses the [[expanded item pack]] extensively to obtain Master Balls, Rare Candies and glitch items, warp around on the map, and do other memory corruptions.
 
The run also uses many [[luck manipulation]]s. Most of them are to encounter specific Pokémon in their intended habitat, either by [[Luck manipulation (Generation I)#DSum manipulation|DSum manipulation]] or by [[Luck manipulation (Generation I)#Hard-reset RNG manipulations|hard-reset manipulations]] (including a Pidgey at the beginning for [[Brock Through Walls]]). Two other manipulations are used near the beginning, to get a desired Trainer ID and to death-warp from a trainer twice for a x255 item stack.
Line 66:
** If the player died to the first MissingNo., repeat the Spearow manipulation above. If the player escaped, the leftmost trainer will not be usable, so [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTG2Wu6euGU do a manipulation with another trainer] instead.
** Since the "13 ERROR." glitch text box points to the Route 11 trainer defeat flags, escaping from the first MissingNo. will set the first byte to 0x08 (TX_ASM), leading to a crash. '''Therefore, in this case the player should flash the Start menu instead of reading the Vermilion Harbor sign.''' (The guide states that reading the Harbor sign crashes even if the player died, but this is unconfirmed either way.)
** Don't bother running away this time. Since we want to be at the Pokémon Center anyway, selecting a weak attack and (hopefully) bebeing killed by MissingNo. first is faster.
