This is Gordon Ramsey level of cooking folks. Watched it once to (try and) take it all in. Will probably watch a few more times to do the fun stuff. Excellent work as always Jefe :D
amazingly detailed video, but the biggest 'FU' to me was finding out that these will not be legal until given Pokeblocks which requires trading... i have both FireRed and Emerald, but only 1 ds lite, no gbas and no link cable... guess i gotta get on that then.
You could always use an R4 with the DS Lite to extract your save data, and then move the pokemon over manually. There's a DS homebrew app called "GBA Backup Tool" that can take GBA saves and put them on the SD Card. Could even connect 2 copies of mGBA and do the actual trading, if using PkHex isn't your style. Cheaper than buying 2 systems and a link cable.
makes me so so happy to see new glitch discoveries like this, always thought frlg and platinum/hgss were untouchable... and now they BOTH have ace!!!!! here's to gen 5 (Haha)

@@PapaJefeYTis it normal for codes to spawn invisible bad eggs ocasionally in box 13? and rarely even visible bad eggs(the duplication and reverse duplication helped deal with them thankfully)
@@HHHjb_ Make sure you always use Yellow Hand when interacting with the ACE glitch mon, that seems to be the main source of when I get the bad eggs in Box 13.

Is there a ace code for resetting move tutors? I like breeding my teams normally and having a code like that would save me from having to use hack roms with infinite tutors
There's not one yet, but that's not impossible. I believe Emerald has a code like that already, just a matter of finding the right RAM addresses. I'll put this on my list of things to look into. The other one we're looking at is forcing Pokemon to evolve, so we can bypass trade/happiness evos. Still lots to do!
its fun to watch this video as someone who has no pokemon glitching experience besides fucking around with an action replay in heartgold. that spreadsheet may as well be a digital devil summoning program to me. you are doing actual magic, and i can only watch and try to absorb whatever glimmers of insight i can from the work of a great mage
0:05 "And it's all because of...MAIL" Me: "Wait, did I click on a video for Gen 3, or Gen 2? But ALSO WAIT; THE VIDEO CLIP IS FROM GEN 2, TOO??" BRUH, really though, how did it take them like ~6 (at least?) years to make MAIL not be broken?? I mean, aside that there was no reason for them to care about it, because none of us did...
I love watching Pokémon speed runs, or any speed runs tbh, because of the glitches. But this honestly takes “glitches” to a whole new category. I loved watching all of the 1+ hour video. Definitely earned a subscriber with this super well put together video. Stay awesome friend!
The interesting thing is, I don't think there is a way for modern Pokémon games to detect these manipulated and, effectively, genned Pokémon if they are used in tournaments. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I'm more interested in Event Pokémon being preserved with these type of exploits, without needing additional hardware or software.
I just love the phrase "unencrypting pokemon". It's amazing. "We turned fireblast into a glitched item" and "using this berry we can put sketch onto any pokemon" is just so crazy. Also, in spite of how incredibly crazy and fun this is, it reminds me that the overwhelming majority of competitive players just cheat their pokemon in. Or at the very least, they use Pokemon showdown, which doesn't require an hour of setup to build a basic team to test things out.
This video has been instructive and enjoyable so far, thank you! Around 42:20, I notice the names of the boxes are being changed for the Fast Clone Glitch. But the prior step taught me the names of the boxes determine the TID & SID, which determine that shiny 6 IV Eevee. So, how does renaming the boxes not affect the TID & SID, and by extension, the would-be cloned Eevee?
@@amoinoacid you only have to change the box names and do the glitch pokemon swap once, and the TID SID change is permanently applied to your save. After that you can enter new codes.
Haven't seen the video yet but it makes me so happy just to see fire red and leaf green brought up decades after their release. Makes me so proud to be a Pokémon fan
That was almost as convoluted a crafting system as Path of Exile. I like Path of Exile. I also like Pokemon Gen 1-4... ... I need to see actual gameplay of this team though =)
Finally catching a good video from the source of a glitch Hunter like this is so awesome!!! Good job and great work and content Bro!!! To you and all involved! ❤
I have a problem hitting my seeds. I found a good one with the ten lines, my settings are: sound='mono', l='lr', button='start', select='yes'. When I load the game, I hit start and select at the same time and hold them until I can select my safe file. But every seed I hit, select is checked with "no" instead of "yes". What do I do wrong?
Ohhh that's my bad! I didn't explain what "Select" meant exactly. If your seed has "select=yes" then you want to hold select through the entire boot sequence. that extra button being held through boot up is what slightly shifts the seed. You'd keep it held for the whole cutscene, and then add on the A/Start press and hold at the title screen when the beeps come.
@@PapaJefeYT Just out of curiosity, why exactly does holding Select change things? Did they code the seed selection to manually check if Select is held (and if so, increment it?) or is it more of an indirect effect? This stuff is very interesting to me so I'm just curious.
@@OldDistantHermitit's actually not coded specifically to have an effect. It's a side effect of how they pull the seed from a timer that's constantly running on the CPU. The timer is deterministic, but the CPU handles everything including inputs. Basically by holding the button, you make the CPU do ever so slightly that much more work, and so it changes the output. Sensitive but predictable if you do the right things
@@PapaJefeYT That's really cool. Thanks for the explanation, and love seeing the work you and everyone else is doing shown off in a way that makes sense for everyone :)
Is there a way to get to the more advanced parts of this without the RNG manips? I struggle with the timing due to a skill issue with my hands, and even when practicing on an "easy" manip like Eevee I never even seem to get close (using the bingo sheet method to track I never seem to get ON the sheet)
@@jerematic the absolute easiest way would be to use the "Create a Pokemon from Nothing" code but put in a non-glitch species. Pokemon generated that way are also unencrypted, and would been completely usable with the mail system. Because their TID/SID/PID are all just 0000 0000 Now they will be slightly more difficult to make competitive/legal, because you'll need to use corruption to tweak their IVs/Met Data. However if you just want to play around with the mail glitch, that's the easiest entry point.
@@PapaJefeYT Thank you for replying! So long as any pokemon created this way are able to PalPark to Gen 4 and be used in the battle frontier i don't mind about comp/legal You've done an amazing job with all of this!
This is somehow just as nice of a compliment as trying it out, because it means the video might reach a larger audience just for ambient Pokemon related longform watching.
@@PapaJefeYT i personally think these "legal" methods of generating pokemon are too tedious to do, but how they work under the hood and the effort that goes into optimising these methods are really interesting to hear about. keep it up
@oniondesu9633 yeah at this point I don't even need better methods, or more Pokemon. I just enjoy solving the puzzle and making it work. Glad you found it interesting!
Thank you very much for this video and the info! I had just followed your other video on how to get ACE on LG but I was not getting good results with the RNG manip... now with your advices on calibrating the tool and checking the seeds I can see light at end of tunnel! Hope now I can get 6IV Shiny Deoxys as I always wanted since I was a kid!
@ let’s go! Just food for thought as I was not having luck with RNG manip I saw there is a code in e shark for seed manipulation and teleport but it requires the glitch move on a Crobat to execute (Seipnir guide has a code for it but it’s for the other method of ACE, not grab ACE). I thought that maybe with the code you created for the clone glitch Pokémon you could also use it to create this Crobat with the glitch move. With that you can have both forms of ACE without needing an Emerald copy of the game. What do you think? Is it even possible? Thank you again!
@eLMCe we've definitely talked about finding a path from Mail Glitch ACE to Crobat ACE, but the route isn't solved yet. There's quite a bit of legwork involved in recreating all the Emerald stuff, but I think it can be done!
Can’t wait to see something along these lines at a GDQ, and watch the runner jump through hoops trying to convince the audience they’re actually playing Pokémon and not doing any glitches.
Thanks for the explanation! It's so cool that I've spent almost all my free time during last week messing around with it. I was wondering if I can use experience values from exact levels for any pokemon or move. In order to do so, I've modified my version adding the growth rates to the data and creating a new sheet that shows which pokemon, item and move match with each of those experience values for each rate. I haven't spent much time checking it yet, but I think it could be useful. I've also added to the workshop the level calculation, an extra search field that shows which levels correspond to the value for all exp curves and a table that gets the origin data from the current pokemon. If you're interested, I can share it.
that sounds super helpful! You can join my discord and share your version, I'll add the improvements when I get the chance. Yeah you can use experience to arbitrarily get any Move/Item/Species, as long as its not a glitch move that crashes the game when you swap G->A to move it around.
@@PapaJefeYT Done! You can check it out whenever you want. In fact, all the growth rate stuff started because I was trying to get the M block to look like the following bytes: 0x0000 or 0x0010 0x2180 0xFFFF 0x3FFF 0x0000 0x0000 This is an invalid combination of EVs (you can't reach it through regular EV training), so I had to get creative. Move 0x3FFF is partially stable: I managed to switch it around with 3 moves (the other two were valid low-value moves, I believe they were Pound and Gust). But that's all, when I add a 4th move, the summary becomes unstable. On the other hand, I don't think the move 0xFFFF would be stable, so I think this way is a dead end. I haven't been able to apply the MailGlitch corruption for this so far. I finally managed to do it in a weird way with an ACE and it wasn't easier. But, I want to be able to do it with the MailGlich, so I'll keep trying and looking for other ways.
Could I please have some help setting up the glitch? I used the double battle method and recycled an oran berry on the mail-holding Mr Mime and have given my 5 party pokemon mail, have put Nina in Box 3, slot 1 and gave my sixth pokemon mail, but the mail display screen just has ordinary dashes (- - - - -) instead of question marks. I think the mail is writing to memory since the mail disappears and I can clone items, but I’m stuck. TIA
it sounds like things worked the first time, but strangely you didn't see the ????s of NINAs data. Dashes would indicate there was no pokemon in Box 3 Slot 1 when you checked. Performing the glitch a second time won't have any downsides aside from having 1 less available mail slot, but it sounds like you're moving along fine now.
I've loosely followed R/G/B/Y, G/S/C, and R/S/E glitches for several years now, but NEVER would I have thought FR/LG could be cracked open like this! YES! MORE GLITCHES!!! I've always adored Pokemon glitches this RULES
I absolutely have to try this sometime. Did ACE through item underflow in RBY and bad cloning in GSC to get 8F for legal Mew and Celebi egg respectively, so this is exciting for me
Not always. Encryption key takes in the full PID and the SID and TID combined, so order matters. For example: FFFF0000 xor 0000FFFF would yield an encryption key of FFFFFFFF But for shinies, it only takes each half the PID and the TID/SID separately. FFFF xor 0000 xor 0000 xor FFFF = 0 Which is a square shiny, but would not be unencrypted.
@PapaJefeYT oooooh ok thank you, i was actually about to try this and had gotten to the point of rng maniping the eevee and wouldve wasted a decent amount of time messing with it
Hey Jefe, I had a question; I wanted to try this out (on a much smaller scale), but I already have grab and move ACE set up, and no Retro Mail Knock Off glitch ready to execute the mail corruption. Before I get too much further, do I have to get it re-set up? I don't mind going through the process again, I think I still have the trade Farfetch'd and I made some clones of the trade Mr. Mime.
if you've already setup the Knock Off\Recycle once to do Grab ACE, then its permanently on in your game. Just give mail to all your pokemon again, and you should be able to access the glitched 7th mail slot still.
@@PapaJefeYT Oh sweet! I was about ready to go through the whole process again with the souped up trainers from the VS Seeker. I'm so happy I don't have to go through that all again. Thanks! I can't wait to get started!
1:40 I'll like and subscribe to anybody with a red wings banner in the background. Not only do you have great taste in sport, but also in franchise too!
Cool, so now gens 1-3 basically have Gameshark level of mon-genning, but with no drawbacks for competitive. Next step is to find some cross-gen data manipulation that turns a Weird Magikarp into whatever we want for Home.
First off I just want to say, thank you so much for making these. These tutorials are incredible, and are such good breakdowns for the setup process for this stuff. Genuinely revolutionary stuff going on in my childhood pokemon games, and I couldn't be more excited. One question I have though is there any way you can show how to set up Move ACE using grab ACE? I noticed that there are a bunch of Move ACE codes for FR/LG that haven't been converted to grab ACE, and some of them are extremely difficult to port because of the small differences of where things sit in RAM using each method (At PC vs in battle). I don't think anyone has made a tutorial for setting up move ACE from a single game now that we have grab ACE, and I'd be surprised if it wasn't doable now. I just figured that if we can have a resource showing how to set it up from grab ACE then even if some codes aren't able to be ported, we can at least keep the utility, and make them more accessible.
I think it's possible to bootstrap Move ACE from Grab ACE, but it will take some work. It's on my list of things to look into, but I'll likely need help from Sleipnir.
1:05:55 "All I need to to do now is pick up a Mystic Water, give it to Nuzleaf, teach him cut so he has at least one move, head over to voices dot dot dot dot dot so I can switch him to A E G M, take a look at this here Beedrill and then swap Spark into the first move slot, swap him back over to exclamation points, which nets me this nice little level 100 Snubbull." This sentence would kill a medieval peasant.
Note on Bad Eggs: Interacting with either Glitch Pokemon using the White Hand can cause both invisible/visible Bad Eggs in Boxes 12/13. They should be able to either be released normally, deleted using the Fast Clone Deletion method show in the video, or by putting them into a group selection with the Yellow Hand. They are generally harmless, just some glitchy data that appears as a side effect.

I’d say the comedy glitches being real would be the best outcome! A bunch of aliens living amongst us who can perceive things differently trying to tell us about the glitches 👀
notes on the intro look like sum left by the zodiac killer - you are truly a mad man
i guess mail ain't useless anymore
The ACE stuff is cool and all, but props for the mad SPREADSHEET Skills. That's the true test of knowledge, talent and patience
This video makes me wanna learn FRLG glitches. Ive always been a huge poke fan and knew games could be speedran or exploited but the most ive ever done is trainer fly to complete the dex in Yellow
Your background lay out is the best thing I’ve seen all year
THANK YOU. I kept doing it correctly in FireRed and got thrown off by the slash in the name instead of the O.
2 minutes in to the video and its already so good. cant wait to lock in to the next hour. love watching you and blisey
To be fair, the intro is very high effort relative to the rest. It would have been very hard to keep up that quality while explaining so many different things in detail/interacting with the spreadsheet etc... But I hope you watch the whole thing! 😊
@@PapaJefeYT 100% watching the whole thing, thanks for the reply :)
This is Gordon Ramsey level of cooking folks.
Watched it once to (try and) take it all in. Will probably watch a few more times to do the fun stuff.
Excellent work as always Jefe :D
amazingly detailed video, but the biggest 'FU' to me was finding out that these will not be legal until given Pokeblocks which requires trading...
i have both FireRed and Emerald, but only 1 ds lite, no gbas and no link cable... guess i gotta get on that then.
You could always use an R4 with the DS Lite to extract your save data, and then move the pokemon over manually. There's a DS homebrew app called "GBA Backup Tool" that can take GBA saves and put them on the SD Card. Could even connect 2 copies of mGBA and do the actual trading, if using PkHex isn't your style.
Cheaper than buying 2 systems and a link cable.
@@smolbrendan5978 just tagging you with the reply, because for some reason my phone tags but my browser doesn't lmao
I will say what Jefe said is doable, but sometimes you can find some gba sps for a cheap price at like yardsales, and a link cable should be cheap!
makes me so so happy to see new glitch discoveries like this, always thought frlg and platinum/hgss were untouchable... and now they BOTH have ace!!!!! here's to gen 5 (Haha)
The stuff people like you find is crazy. I'm absolutely stunned as to of all people like you don't have more status in the pokemon community seeing the amount of work you guys put behind this lol. I'm in college still for computer science and seeing stuff like this makes me laugh like an idiot. Appreciate the content.
Using an Eevee when talking about EV's is needlessly confusing 😂
regardless, awesome video bro! really enjoyed it
Year ago was Emerald. Today is FrLg. Next year… can’t wait 😅
Pretty crazy to think we can pretty much do ACE up to Gen 3.
ACE has been possible in Gen 4 for a couple of years now.
RETIRE made a video about it. Tho I don't remember in which Gen 4 games it worked.
I only made a video on DP, but I have found RCE's and transfering ACE for all gen 4 games.
The amount of work that went in to discovering and crafting these methods / tools is unreal.
Hopefully this video gets time segments like the previous as I completed the steps in the previous on an official leafgreen 1.0 english cartridge last time already
I just added all the timestamps!

@@PapaJefeYTis it normal for codes to spawn invisible bad eggs ocasionally in box 13? and rarely even visible bad eggs(the duplication and reverse duplication helped deal with them thankfully)
@@HHHjb_ Make sure you always use Yellow Hand when interacting with the ACE glitch mon, that seems to be the main source of when I get the bad eggs in Box 13. But yeah they are pretty harmless, just a few bits getting flipped that can be easily removed via Yellow Hand Multi-Selecting them, or releasing (depending on the bits)
I'm never going to use this stuff myself but I do always enjoy hearing you explain stuff. Also that GBA overlay is pretty funny lol
Is there a ace code for resetting move tutors? I like breeding my teams normally and having a code like that would save me from having to use hack roms with infinite tutors
There's not one yet, but that's not impossible. I believe Emerald has a code like that already, just a matter of finding the right RAM addresses.
I'll put this on my list of things to look into. The other one we're looking at is forcing Pokemon to evolve, so we can bypass trade/happiness evos.
Still lots to do!
"This guy looks to be really stable"
Move slot 2 shows nothing and slot 3 looks like it's dying🤣
I mean you saw what happens when it's NOT stable 🤣
I'm glad I can binge some more papa. Thanks for the fun content to watch brother
1:22:15 Going back and adding all the PP maxes before calling them totally complete... but leaving them all at level 99.
I wasn't sure if the EVs were perfect yet 😅
There's not a chance that I would ever do this, but I absolutely love watching and learning about it
its fun to watch this video as someone who has no pokemon glitching experience besides fucking around with an action replay in heartgold. that spreadsheet may as well be a digital devil summoning program to me. you are doing actual magic, and i can only watch and try to absorb whatever glimmers of insight i can from the work of a great mage
you understood the true essence of the material
0 hour gang rise up, Jefe dropped a banger
i had to rewatch the mail glitch setup because my mind was completely blown by the idea of just a photo of a gba as an overlay
0:05 "And it's all because of...MAIL"
Me: "Wait, did I click on a video for Gen 3, or Gen 2? But ALSO WAIT; THE VIDEO CLIP IS FROM GEN 2, TOO??"
BRUH, really though, how did it take them like ~6 (at least?) years to make MAIL not be broken?? I mean, aside that there was no reason for them to care about it, because none of us did...
@@benjaminlaureys2603 and I love them for it.
I love watching Pokémon speed runs, or any speed runs tbh, because of the glitches. But this honestly takes “glitches” to a whole new category. I loved watching all of the 1+ hour video. Definitely earned a subscriber with this super well put together video. Stay awesome friend!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Papa Jefe!
Your dedication to glitches and RNG has inspired me greatly!
i am so thankful for you
Thank you for watching 😊
You dropped this at the perfect time. Just finished work :D.
Whats the song in the beginning? Been trying to figure out the name forever
@@mjthe_great it's the area zero theme from scarlet and violet
FANTASTIC WORK!! I adore this community, this will be so fun to play around with!! Thank you for this guide!
Thank you for explaining this very clearly. I was lost watching other videos on this.
The interesting thing is, I don't think there is a way for modern Pokémon games to detect these manipulated and, effectively, genned Pokémon if they are used in tournaments. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I'm more interested in Event Pokémon being preserved with these type of exploits, without needing additional hardware or software.
I only just realised towards the end that the title is a reference to Jimothy as well. Outstanding move, Father Jeférssen.
🔥🙌 We making it out the Lost Cave with this one… 🙌🔥
I just love the phrase "unencrypting pokemon". It's amazing. "We turned fireblast into a glitched item" and "using this berry we can put sketch onto any pokemon" is just so crazy.
Also, in spite of how incredibly crazy and fun this is, it reminds me that the overwhelming majority of competitive players just cheat their pokemon in. Or at the very least, they use Pokemon showdown, which doesn't require an hour of setup to build a basic team to test things out.
We don’t deserve you, Papa Jefé
You're too kind
This video has been instructive and enjoyable so far, thank you! Around 42:20, I notice the names of the boxes are being changed for the Fast Clone Glitch. But the prior step taught me the names of the boxes determine the TID & SID, which determine that shiny 6 IV Eevee. So, how does renaming the boxes not affect the TID & SID, and by extension, the would-be cloned Eevee?
@@amoinoacid you only have to change the box names and do the glitch pokemon swap once, and the TID SID change is permanently applied to your save. After that you can enter new codes.
I feel like you’d be that really fun uncle who understands all the nerdy stuff I like lol
Been following these glitches in gen 3 and it reignited my love for these games (also nice intro with the tower of god soundtrack)
Oh no it's actually Area Zero Theme from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Haven't seen the video yet but it makes me so happy just to see fire red and leaf green brought up decades after their release. Makes me so proud to be a Pokémon fan
That was almost as convoluted a crafting system as Path of Exile.
I like Path of Exile.
I also like Pokemon Gen 1-4...
...
I need to see actual gameplay of this team though =)
Great video, thank you!
Came for the mail glitch, subbed for the amazing content
Finally catching a good video from the source of a glitch Hunter like this is so awesome!!! Good job and great work and content Bro!!! To you and all involved! ❤
I have a problem hitting my seeds. I found a good one with the ten lines, my settings are: sound='mono', l='lr', button='start', select='yes'. When I load the game, I hit start and select at the same time and hold them until I can select my safe file. But every seed I hit, select is checked with "no" instead of "yes". What do I do wrong?
Ohhh that's my bad! I didn't explain what "Select" meant exactly.
If your seed has "select=yes" then you want to hold select through the entire boot sequence. that extra button being held through boot up is what slightly shifts the seed.
You'd keep it held for the whole cutscene, and then add on the A/Start press and hold at the title screen when the beeps come.
@PapaJefeYT thanks for the quick response! I will try it later :)
@@PapaJefeYT Just out of curiosity, why exactly does holding Select change things? Did they code the seed selection to manually check if Select is held (and if so, increment it?) or is it more of an indirect effect? This stuff is very interesting to me so I'm just curious.
@@OldDistantHermitit's actually not coded specifically to have an effect. It's a side effect of how they pull the seed from a timer that's constantly running on the CPU.
The timer is deterministic, but the CPU handles everything including inputs.
Basically by holding the button, you make the CPU do ever so slightly that much more work, and so it changes the output. Sensitive but predictable if you do the right things
@@PapaJefeYT That's really cool. Thanks for the explanation, and love seeing the work you and everyone else is doing shown off in a way that makes sense for everyone :)
90 mins. Yes please. Instant share to my people.
Is there a way to get to the more advanced parts of this without the RNG manips? I struggle with the timing due to a skill issue with my hands, and even when practicing on an "easy" manip like Eevee I never even seem to get close (using the bingo sheet method to track I never seem to get ON the sheet)
@@jerematic the absolute easiest way would be to use the "Create a Pokemon from Nothing" code but put in a non-glitch species.
Pokemon generated that way are also unencrypted, and would been completely usable with the mail system. Because their TID/SID/PID are all just 0000 0000
Now they will be slightly more difficult to make competitive/legal, because you'll need to use corruption to tweak their IVs/Met Data.
However if you just want to play around with the mail glitch, that's the easiest entry point.
@@PapaJefeYT Thank you for replying!
So long as any pokemon created this way are able to PalPark to Gen 4 and be used in the battle frontier i don't mind about comp/legal
You've done an amazing job with all of this!
no chance i'll ever do any of this, but you have a pretty good yapping voice to listen to in the background whilst i code
This is somehow just as nice of a compliment as trying it out, because it means the video might reach a larger audience just for ambient Pokemon related longform watching.
@@PapaJefeYT i personally think these "legal" methods of generating pokemon are too tedious to do, but how they work under the hood and the effort that goes into optimising these methods are really interesting to hear about. keep it up
@oniondesu9633 yeah at this point I don't even need better methods, or more Pokemon. I just enjoy solving the puzzle and making it work. Glad you found it interesting!
Love you and your content man! Messing with memory editing isso fun when you know what you're doing haha
Thank you very much for this video and the info! I had just followed your other video on how to get ACE on LG but I was not getting good results with the RNG manip... now with your advices on calibrating the tool and checking the seeds I can see light at end of tunnel! Hope now I can get 6IV Shiny Deoxys as I always wanted since I was a kid!
You can do it! I believe! 💪
@ let’s go! Just food for thought as I was not having luck with RNG manip I saw there is a code in e shark for seed manipulation and teleport but it requires the glitch move on a Crobat to execute (Seipnir guide has a code for it but it’s for the other method of ACE, not grab ACE). I thought that maybe with the code you created for the clone glitch Pokémon you could also use it to create this Crobat with the glitch move. With that you can have both forms of ACE without needing an Emerald copy of the game. What do you think? Is it even possible? Thank you again!
@eLMCe we've definitely talked about finding a path from Mail Glitch ACE to Crobat ACE, but the route isn't solved yet. There's quite a bit of legwork involved in recreating all the Emerald stuff, but I think it can be done!
@ Nice! Hope you guys find it! I believe! 💪🏻
Can’t wait to see something along these lines at a GDQ, and watch the runner jump through hoops trying to convince the audience they’re actually playing Pokémon and not doing any glitches.
this video is insane, good stuff homie!
Thanks for the explanation! It's so cool that I've spent almost all my free time during last week messing around with it.
I was wondering if I can use experience values from exact levels for any pokemon or move. In order to do so, I've modified my version adding the growth rates to the data and creating a new sheet that shows which pokemon, item and move match with each of those experience values for each rate. I haven't spent much time checking it yet, but I think it could be useful.
I've also added to the workshop the level calculation, an extra search field that shows which levels correspond to the value for all exp curves and a table that gets the origin data from the current pokemon. If you're interested, I can share it.
that sounds super helpful! You can join my discord and share your version, I'll add the improvements when I get the chance.
Yeah you can use experience to arbitrarily get any Move/Item/Species, as long as its not a glitch move that crashes the game when you swap G->A to move it around.
@@PapaJefeYT Done! You can check it out whenever you want.
In fact, all the growth rate stuff started because I was trying to get the M block to look like the following bytes:
0x0000 or 0x0010
0x2180
0xFFFF
0x3FFF
0x0000
0x0000
This is an invalid combination of EVs (you can't reach it through regular EV training), so I had to get creative. Move 0x3FFF is partially stable: I managed to switch it around with 3 moves (the other two were valid low-value moves, I believe they were Pound and Gust). But that's all, when I add a 4th move, the summary becomes unstable. On the other hand, I don't think the move 0xFFFF would be stable, so I think this way is a dead end.
I haven't been able to apply the MailGlitch corruption for this so far. I finally managed to do it in a weird way with an ACE and it wasn't easier. But, I want to be able to do it with the MailGlich, so I'll keep trying and looking for other ways.
fanatstic works papa!!
For the most time I believed FRLG to be a heaven nearly completely purified from glitches, but these are astounding discoveries!
This whole thing you did here. A work of art.
Could I please have some help setting up the glitch? I used the double battle method and recycled an oran berry on the mail-holding Mr Mime and have given my 5 party pokemon mail, have put Nina in Box 3, slot 1 and gave my sixth pokemon mail, but the mail display screen just has ordinary dashes (- - - - -) instead of question marks. I think the mail is writing to memory since the mail disappears and I can clone items, but I’m stuck. TIA
Re-performed the glitch and now the 5th mail slot overflows and I’ve made it to the first glitch pokemon after wigglytuff.
it sounds like things worked the first time, but strangely you didn't see the ????s of NINAs data. Dashes would indicate there was no pokemon in Box 3 Slot 1 when you checked.
Performing the glitch a second time won't have any downsides aside from having 1 less available mail slot, but it sounds like you're moving along fine now.
I know the game boy Pokémon’s were written in Assembly that is 100% why you can do all this memory manipulation shenanigans
I've loosely followed R/G/B/Y, G/S/C, and R/S/E glitches for several years now, but NEVER would I have thought FR/LG could be cracked open like this! YES! MORE GLITCHES!!! I've always adored Pokemon glitches this RULES
It's amazing the things that Pokemon fans will discover for a glitch. This is incredible
I absolutely have to try this sometime. Did ACE through item underflow in RBY and bad cloning in GSC to get 8F for legal Mew and Celebi egg respectively, so this is exciting for me
Really Cool Glitches. I love glitching in gen 1 and gen 3 is no exception man. Save corruption is fun to play with.
thinking about it square shinies would be unencrypted by default right? since square shinies on transfer mons have to xor their pid and tid/sid to 0
Not always. Encryption key takes in the full PID and the SID and TID combined, so order matters.
For example: FFFF0000 xor 0000FFFF would yield an encryption key of FFFFFFFF
But for shinies, it only takes each half the PID and the TID/SID separately.
FFFF xor 0000 xor 0000 xor FFFF = 0
Which is a square shiny, but would not be unencrypted.
@PapaJefeYT oooooh ok thank you, i was actually about to try this and had gotten to the point of rng maniping the eevee and wouldve wasted a decent amount of time messing with it
Honestly, the title undersells the power of these glitches, wow lmao
This is my favorite content. Rng, glitches... The passion for both Pokémon and computers together ❤
LOL the eevees flying away when you deleted them was funny
Hey Jefe, I had a question;
I wanted to try this out (on a much smaller scale), but I already have grab and move ACE set up, and no Retro Mail Knock Off glitch ready to execute the mail corruption.
Before I get too much further, do I have to get it re-set up? I don't mind going through the process again, I think I still have the trade Farfetch'd and I made some clones of the trade Mr. Mime.
if you've already setup the Knock Off\Recycle once to do Grab ACE, then its permanently on in your game. Just give mail to all your pokemon again, and you should be able to access the glitched 7th mail slot still.
@@PapaJefeYT Oh sweet! I was about ready to go through the whole process again with the souped up trainers from the VS Seeker. I'm so happy I don't have to go through that all again. Thanks! I can't wait to get started!
1:40 I'll like and subscribe to anybody with a red wings banner in the background. Not only do you have great taste in sport, but also in franchise too!
I wont ever do this, but I did get sucked in watching for 40 minutes. Had to click the like and sub for that.
43:09 its like this guy is glassware left on a bunsen burner you have to use gloves to pick up
Cool, so now gens 1-3 basically have Gameshark level of mon-genning, but with no drawbacks for competitive. Next step is to find some cross-gen data manipulation that turns a Weird Magikarp into whatever we want for Home.
First off I just want to say, thank you so much for making these. These tutorials are incredible, and are such good breakdowns for the setup process for this stuff. Genuinely revolutionary stuff going on in my childhood pokemon games, and I couldn't be more excited.
One question I have though is there any way you can show how to set up Move ACE using grab ACE?
I noticed that there are a bunch of Move ACE codes for FR/LG that haven't been converted to grab ACE, and some of them are extremely difficult to port because of the small differences of where things sit in RAM using each method (At PC vs in battle). I don't think anyone has made a tutorial for setting up move ACE from a single game now that we have grab ACE, and I'd be surprised if it wasn't doable now. I just figured that if we can have a resource showing how to set it up from grab ACE then even if some codes aren't able to be ported, we can at least keep the utility, and make them more accessible.
I think it's possible to bootstrap Move ACE from Grab ACE, but it will take some work. It's on my list of things to look into, but I'll likely need help from Sleipnir.
Those were the most sane pokemon nicknames I have ever seen you use.
1:05:55 "All I need to to do now is pick up a Mystic Water, give it to Nuzleaf, teach him cut so he has at least one move, head over to voices dot dot dot dot dot so I can switch him to A E G M, take a look at this here Beedrill and then swap Spark into the first move slot, swap him back over to exclamation points, which nets me this nice little level 100 Snubbull."
This sentence would kill a medieval peasant.
A simple maneuver really 😅
