The Craziest Glitches in Every Pokemon Game

sorry I’m late today, traffic was awful

I love how when proceeding from gen 1 onwards there are fewer and fewer glitches but when you hit gen 9 its like CHAOS ZONE

Considering my childhood SON OF A GLITCH is MIA this is the next best thing!

In Alpha Sapphire I encountered a glitch that I have never heard anyone talk about, but completely freaked me out. I played through the game, having a ton of fun and getting hit with nostalgia left and right (original Sapphire was the game that got me into Pokémon). I beat Steven, auto saved my game at the Hall of Fame, and watched the credits. I get to the point in the credits where it shows the final Wally battle, and the game freezes! The credits keep rolling and the music keeps going, but it doesn’t transition past the Wally scene. After the credits and music stop, the game is frozen. I reset my system and try again, and nothing. I’m completely freaking out. I haven’t had my 3DS for that long and I’m completely new to the concept of games that you can download patches for, so I think my game is permanently corrupted, and I lost my beloved Pokémon. Thankfully, a friend helped me download the patch to fix the bug

Seeing a whole video of the craziest glitches in Pokémon games made me remember of a weird glitch that happened my copy of Brilliant Diamond. I was helping my brother with a trade with Dialga but as the trade happened, his game crashed and ended the trade. When we loaded back into our respected games to continue the trade, it got cloned! So... task failed successfully? I still have the cloned Dialga in my copy of Violet!

Lumiose city glitch deleted a full odds shiny quilfish from my first playthrough of Y

About SV, you left out the glitch that made a lot of trainers lose their save file for a time.

I actually got the bad egg glitch in emerald completly by accident, I didn't even do anything I just turned the game on and suddenly my Azumaril was a bad egg, and when I turned the console off and turned it back on again it was back to normal still one of the weirdest pokemon moments I've ever experienced

I was in college with X/Y came out. There were sooo many rumors about that Lumiose City glitch beyond it just soft-locking your game. Things like it bricking the 3DS or corrupting the game cartridge itself. I was one of many to be legit scared to even enter Lumiose, lmao. It was a lot like playground rumors about Missingno or Celebi or whatever; it was honestly a lot of fun.

8:04 The Dreamyard plays this song, and it has a lower level where you can hear it slowed normally

the glitched audio bit in this video genuinely freaked me out for a second… i’m way too old for that to happen 😅

A fun fact about the coin case glitch is that you can create ANY Pokemon with it or even make a Pokemon shiny. I used it to create a WHOLE BOX of shiny Moltres on the virtual console version of Pokemon Silver that I then transfered to Home! Truly the best glitch in Pokemon history.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Pomeg Glitch in gen 3, which basically allows you to perform ACE (Arbitrary Code Execution), allowing you to create and run limited amounts of code in the game

2:44 You can also activate the coin case glitch with Bellsprout too. Also, the following pokemon do not activate this glitch at all: Weepinbell, Marill, Ledyba, HootHoot, Hoppip, Aipom, Wooper, Misdreavus, Snubull, Shuckle, Sneasel, Ursaring , Teddiursa, Slugma, and Delibird. The only pokemon that crashes the game for some reason is Umbreon

I remember playing pokemon red as a kid and killing something with my charizard and getting wayyy too much exp. He leveled up over and over and when he hit level 100 he kept gaining exp and reset to level 1 and still kept going. It relearned the early level moves and had its stats reset but I've never found any documentation on it

I remember experimenting with powers beyond my knowledge (AR and Gameshark) when I was a kid. Glitched my games to heck and back, but I remember having several "bad eggs" in FireRed and Emerald. Cool to know!!

The lower pitch theme of the Pinwheel Forest can be heard in the basement of the Dreamyard.

"Bird" is mentioned in the Puffy song 'Hajimari no Uta' used in the Lucario movie. It is during the break where the types are mentioned as friends.

Surprised there was no mention of the monochrome Pokemon in early gen 6. That one had everyone fooled as a new ultra rare shiny esque type.

9:40, it is indeed because of Sparkling Aria as the basis, but it’s because it is the Sparkling Aria is programmed as a healing move becauae of the burn removal part of that. As a result, the AI thinks it and all Z Move variants are healing moves.
