With Gold & Silver coming right up, I'll like to write up some useful glitches that everyone can use, for a slightly more fun-tastic experience! From our shared personal experiences, no glitches were removed from VC RGBY, so it'll likely be the same scenario. Using PC to Clone Pokemon [International and Japanese] This is one of the best glitches ever, somewhat the easiest to use, and earliest one can use! While the main intended effect is to clone your Pokemon, but it has a fun side effect: it reverts you to an earlier save state! Meaning, you can redo certain events, depending on how your plan your save points. [meaning, between the 1st save state and performing the glitch, you don't save anywhere in between] Example: 1. Collect all starters (1st save before getting starters from Elm, perform the glitch after depositing your initial starter) 2. Re-activate Roamers (1st save state before roamers, perform the glitch after catching all roamers) 3. Catch Multiple Stationary Pokemon (1st save state before encounter, perform glitch after capture) 4. Receive Eevee, and other gifts again (1st save state before receiving, perform glitch afterwards) Glitch steps: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Cloning_glitches#Box_change_method Party Merging Trick (Bug-Catching Contest Data Copy Glitch) [Japanese Only] This glitch is extremely useful, as you basically end up cloning a Pokemon, with the combination 2 Pokemon details. Looking from the perspective of your party, your New Pokemon will have the Species of the 2nd Pokemon, and the stats (including happiness, level, moves and shininess) from the 6th Pokemon, and it'll become stable if it [the 2nd Pokemon] can evolve. <it'll revert if placed in Daycare; as good as normal cloning> Meaning, if you have a Cyndaquil in the 2nd party slot, and your 6th slot is a Shiny Gyarados, you'll end up with a unstable Shiny Cyndaquil (in summary) and a Shiny Gyarados in battle. Once your Cyndaquil reaches evolution level, it'll evolve into a Stable Shiny Quilava (in and out of battle) You won't even need hard-to-find items for ACE glitches, and it can be done as early as you reach the National Park. (Or Lake of Rage, if you wanted to make your new pokemon a shiny) This may be considered slightly easier than standard cloning, if you're unable to hit the Turn Off Power timing. Steps: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bug-Catching_Contest_data_copy_glitch Arbitrary Code Execution <aka ACE> (Coin Case Glitches) [International Only] Arbitrary Code Execution basically means using an exploit entry-point, you gain control of the game and get it to do what it wants, without external hardware (or even software) usage. However, in most scenarios ACE can only be properly executed in the late game, as you'll need to get all kinds of peculiar items for it to function. (If the item can only be found in Kanto, then tough luck. Of course there's trading, but what the requirement of the item is x99?) My favorite usage (with steps): 1. Turning a Shiny Gyarados to Species: Egg (ID. 253) 2. Change the Species of the Egg to what I want (example: Celebi ID. 251) 3. Hatch it (It becomes Shiny Celebi!) Changing a Pokemons Species: Changing to Shiny: Useful for those who want to convert a non-shiny to shiny Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NADKp7PI2XY Receiving any Pokemon: Getting it as a gift, not converting one.

Have fun~

Okay, just wanted to point to this tidbit with Stad1.

I used this glitch and the shiny Ditto glitch from gen 1 to convert a shiny Ditto named Celebi into a shiny Celebi in gen 2. I have a terrible video showing it. Also, thanks for the list of other Pokemon! I found the data online and saved it, lost it again and went searching. I found it a second time and again, I forgot where I saved it. I'd love to get shinnies of all the legendaries in gen 2 using this glitch someday.
