Evie's list of things she wants to do, or has recently come across but doesn't know much about. Feel free to add details if you like.

General

Document the Transform endless battle change between Stadium Japan and Stadium non-Japan in an article and video

Create an article for box breaker glitch (Generation I)

Keep the name OLD MAN or PROF. OAK

This effect has been known for really long, and involves OLD MAN or PROF. OAK trying to catch a Trainer's Pokémon, getting the 'out of Safari Balls' message, and keeping the altered name after battle. Nowadays however, we have information on how to do it without a cheating device (e.g. participants glitch. This could be an efficient way of fixing an unterminated player name and regaining the ability to retain a save, though you'd be left with either the name OLD MAN or PROF. OAK.

Boulder smuggling

By just changing current map (D35E/D); subject to D36E/D being safe, you can move boulders to other maps from places like Victory Road after an encounter. Probably due to certain places being not regarded as cave maps, this may or may not disable encounters, but you can memory edit D059/8 to work around that.

If you want a more precise warp, you can adjust D35F-D360(-1) and the coordinates too.

So what happens when you push boulders where you're not supposed to?

Some maps don't support the boulder sprite; so boulders might transform into rotating player sprites. You can still push Reds around and they even update to Red cycling if you use the Bicycle. (Another map that supports the boulder sprite is the Safari Zone iirc(?))
You can still push the boulders around; so with enough manipulation I guess you could make your own sokoban game.
I actually found this out before by changing FF map connections to valid maps, but if you push a boulder out of the map it will disappear (probably the same reason for any disappearing NPC)
Somehow I was able to manipulate a boulder so that a Trainer was standing on top of it. I could no longer push the boulder as the Trainer took priority.
The spin tiles in Viridian Gym will make you walk through a boulder (or Trainer) if it's/they're blocking the path.

Walking characters after Yellow MissingNo. addendum

Like with the Red sprites from boulder smuggling, using the Bicycle can cause walking Red characters to start cycling too (or Surfing if you used Surf iirc). This does seem familiar maybe someone else documented it too.

Momentary Surf dismount menu sprite glitch

Surf from the Cinnabar Island coast and dismount, but not the most common way. Instead dismount by opening the party menu and choosing Surf. In Red/Blue but not yellow, there can be a momentary transition glitch affecting the font and certain menu sprites like generic monster (becoming Red facing down), and some others being other orientations of Red (I think someone else may have also mentioned this but if you do this with ????? the game locks up).

(To-do: Why does this happen)

Select glitches

(To-do: Expand, work this out and add relevant memory addresses)

This article is a list of closed menu Select glitches detailing the memory areas they corrupt.

Party

2nd-6th Pokémon

The Pokémon in that slot is swapped. If over the number of party Pokémon, this can be a glitched Pokémon or an anedepami if (number of Pokémon+1); the latter is known for dokokashira door glitch at the beginning of the game with only one Pokémon and at least two items.

Can also be used for Partial switch glitch

7th Pokémon

(document)

12th Pokémon

Can be used for warp by Nidoran♂ glitch

13th Pokémon

Can be used for second type glitch, expanded inventory, warp by Nidoran♂ glitch

14th Pokémon

Can be used for item creation Select glitches and second type glitch

Moves

2nd-4th move

The move in that slot is swapped. If move does not exit, may give the player - (Generation I move).

5th move
