Gen V glitches are super interesting because these are without a doubt the most stable games/generation in the series. No Cute Charm glitch (Gen 4), no Berry Glitch (Gen 3). It feels like GameFreak really had a grasp on the hardware they were using in Gen V. All of these seem like things that fell through the cracks rather than poor programming or something. I'd like to see a Gen 4 glitch video again. Some super cool stuff has been found. Get it done John! Cool video dude.
I like to call gen V the ultimate flex from Game Freak. They finally had a good understanding of what their software was capable of, and they pushed it hard. Every time I go over Skyarrow Bridge or up Celestial Tower, I just get that rush of a good cinematic camera shift and can't help but smile (unless the Deino I'm watching isn't Timid 👀). Black and White are my absolute favourite games in the series, partially because it finally felt like a game that knew what it wanted to be. The other reasons would take up a lot of time and energy that I'd rather not put into a text wall at 2:40 AM. :)
The slow-speaking old lady glitch reminded me of a neat little detail in Black and White. Conversations with N are one speed *faster* than what you have set in the options. Perhaps they applied the inverse of this to her on accident?
that lady is in the same building as N's zorua that you get in Black2/White2... any chance that lady is related to N in some type of way? We don't know anything about his family, its possible
@@lemonicdemonade09 I mean Johnstone literally says in this video "she's missing a specific batch of code that matches her speed to the text speed" so no, I don't think hers is on purpose. I imagine N's is on purpose tho, because it's actively called out.
Other people also pointed out that the old lady speaking glitch means that they code npcs separately theres also a grass tile that just has the grass texture but doesnt work like a grass texture (no pokemon spawn and there isnt the rustle effect present) wich means they also code those individually 🤔 i think thats pretty interesting
ok, John, since you ran out of glitches and oversights to talk about, here's a funny one: This particular glitch/oversight happens when you're using Rollout against a Gym Leader, like Brycen, and it causes something interesting to NOT happen, that being the little cutaway that happens when that trainer is down to their last Pokémon. To be more precise, if you keep knocking their Pokémon out with Rollout, the cutaway won't happen like it normally does. (Someone please let me know if this has happened with other similar moves or Gyms)
There are long paragraphs ahead I know 5 things about Mystery Dungeon glitches: 1. If you hold l or r during an attack animation or a getting hurt animation, everything will stop until you let go of the button. No text boxes will appear, no Pokemon really does anything, attacks won't show up. If you do it while a Pokemon is taking damage and wait a few seconds, the Pokemon will leave its getting hurt animation and return to its idle pose. It most likely only occurs in Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team, Explorers of Time, and Explorers of Darkness. I haven't been able to test it outside of those games. 2. In Red Rescue Team, it's possible to corrupt a few things via wonder mail. I believe one of these is seeing the debug map. 3. In Rescue Team, by inserting a specific series of Wonder Mail codes, you can begin entering older ones. 4. In the first release of Blue Rescue Team, there was a fatal error. If placed in an original DS or DS Lite, it can communicate with a copy of Red Rescue Team that has been inserted in the GBA slot. However, first-print Blue Rescue Team cartridges would check if the GBA game was Red Rescue Team. If it wasn't, your save data would be gone. And now, a spoiler warning for Super Mystery Dungeon. 5. In Super Mystery Dungeon, during a specific chapter, your partner would get scared. If you ran up a slope in town and back down in a specific way, keeping your partner on the slope, your partner would fail to run back to you. If you go far enough away from your partner, they will cower in fear. However, if you walk to a specific spot, your partner will warp off the small ledge, but will appear to run quickly to you. It's hard to see due to being night in the game and serves no functional purpose. I've only done it twice with myself being a Piplup and my partner being a Snivy. The second time was trying to recreate the glitch, with my first time being an accident. I do have an idea of why this occurred. Because the partner always tries to catch up to the player, as you're forced to allow him to stick by your side like glue, he'll automatically run towards you, taking time to check for anything spooky and shudder in fear. By moving the way I did, my partner went to a lower part of the ledge, but the awkward angle had made the game think about where to place Snivy. Running at the side pushed him both directions along the slope. The game must've realized "oh hey the shuddering in fear animation should play now" and the animation pushed him off, all of the aimless running caught up, and he had come by my side.
I’d like to see a video where you task yourself with obtaining every TM in one of or multiple of the main series games. In some of the later generations it is quite the endeavor and I think it might make for an entertaining video.
There's a missing glitch, there's one in the tower with dead Pokemon I think on the 3rd floor with the psychic trainers when you press B they change the direction they're looking
I miss this game so much. It was and in some respects is still the best pokemon game released to date. No remake could ever capture the magic and aesthetic it had...
An Octopath style remake could, they'd also have to revive or remake certain aspects like the DW to really get down the experience. There was so much unavailable now which is why i've feared a remake. They're the single hardest games to ever do the same way again purely because of how many things were intertwined with temporary mechanics at the time. Websites dead and gone, whole systems like the Entralink also practically impossible without redoing. Some of it was also evolved over time like Pass Powers becoming O-powers. Some of it being outdated like the Inferred stuff, the AR, and so on. i truly believe though that given time and the effort needed they could remake all that but it is quite a lot.
6:11 Actually that one glitch (the Kadabra evolving via trade even with an everstone) first appeared in the Gen 4 games. And in those games, at least, you couldn't stop a trade evolution (like how you can't stop a stone evolution). Don't know if the glitch still exist post Gen 5 though. Sure would have been better if that everstone Haunter in Snowpoint City had been swapped with an everstone Kadabra in the Sinnoh games huh ?
I know this is old, but it's actually intentional for Alakazam! The glitch first started in Gen 3 where you could evolve Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler and Haunter whilst they hold an everstone, Kadabra is the only one keeping the ability to evolve, even if it holds the everstone. And I think the trade for the everstone Haunter is a reference to this glitch, which they intentionally kept for Kadabra.
@@Linagarasu actually (i know this is old), but I think it is intentional because someone sued the pokemon TCG for Kadabra, saying it copied their likeness, so they wanted to force evolve Kadabra in as many cases as possible to prevent further lawsuits
Kadabra evolving despite its Everstone might be intentional: it's been a thing since Gen IV and hasn't changed since. My guess is that it might be because of that one case where a magician (Uri Geller) sued Nintendo because Kadabra's Japanese name was a corruption of his name. Moreover Kadabra hasn't appeared in the anime or the card game since those copyright claims, so it might be a decision from Game Freak to subtly get rid of Kadabra without removing it completely.
The Kadabra thing is entirely intentional, it stems from a lawsuit from a bit back about kadabra being like a magician, so he sued and now Nintendo forces Kadabra to evolve. Idk if it still is in effect today but it is in older games.
Someone has probably said this already, but Kadabra evolves into Alakazam even with an Everstone attached due to the Uri Geller lawsuit - not an oversight, the Everstone override was also present in XY/ORAS as well
I’d speculate that the Ninjask with such a high speed that it subverts Trick Room is actually a type of underflow glitch, in which the speed counter reads so high that the game actually interprets it as a negative value and thus as “lower” speed than the opponent. The only question would be why this only happens in Trick Room rather than in standard circumstances, to which I would say it’s possible that values set by Trick Room are potentially what cause this underflow, like some kind of speed calculation that adds an extra value to the integer and thus causes the underflow or something. You see stuff like this a lot in gen 1 with like, Recover not working when you’re at 255 HP, or certain high leveled Pokémon stats actually wrapping back around to counting as super low numbers
The Kadabra one is actually intentional, as a "magician" named Uri Geller sued Gamefreak over Kadabra's likeness to him. As such, Kadabra stopped appearing in the Pokémon TCG and in the Anime.
there is a glitch you missed! if your doing a tripple or rotation battle and 2 out of your 3 pokemon faint in the same turn yout game becomes softlocked and wont let you switch out either fainted pokemon
I think it'd be neat if you did a video on some of the glitches in Gen 2. It's not quite as absurdly broken as Gen 1, but there are plenty of interesting things you can do, including ACE
I came across that hidden grotto glitch while i was doing a professor oak challenge for black 2 by accident too. It kinda freaked me out since I was minding my own business and all, but still, it was kinda cool.
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum for the next glitches episode please! I'd love to see more coverage on the tweaking glitch as well as the other glitches in the game!
Kadabra's evolution is not a glitch or oversight. In Japan, a magician sued GameFreak over Kadabra's physical features. I'm not sure which side won, but Kadabra is not affected by the everstone.
Poor gen 4. Always getting passed up. For other glitch videos, I would be interested in seeing X/Y being broken. Or could you do a video comparing how the glitches change when the move was made between 2D and 3D?
gen 4 gets ignored in a series about glitches. i wonder if it's because gen 4 glitches have been view whored to death on youtube and there is literally nothing new or interesting to say about it anymore? i wonder if it's because when talking about pokemon games gen 4 almost always takes the spotlight and recieves the most accolades despite the fact that the whole thing is sub-par. i wonder if it's because people will never shut up about gen 4? gen 4 was meh to me. didn't care about it when it came out. actually might have liked it a little. the mere exposure effect has made me loathe everything sinnoh because it *never* gets passed up. it gets shoehorned in to every scenareo, whether it fits or not. for crying out loud i've seen reviews of pokemon black and white where they started talking about gen 4 for over a third of the video!
I haven't seen anyone cover Pokémon Snap yet. I'm not actually sure what kind or how many glitches exist in that title. If it's enough glitch content to cover a video, I'd love to see that.
hey john, I would like to see glitches on a game that doesn’t are part of the main games. how about a Pokémon XD Gale of Darkness or Colosseum glitches? love ya
Hey John. Love your vids. Always a lot of fun. I'd still love to see a vid of how long it would take to get your starter to level 100 before the first gym without glitches or cheats. Keep up the great work.
I do remember there being one tall grass tile in a forest somewhere that was visually there but acted like a standard ground tile, like it didn’t contain wild Pokémon and it didn’t have the sprite effect when you walked over it
I don't know if it's already been mentioned in the comments but I'm pretty sure that Kadabra evolving while holding an everstone has something to do with the lawsuit an illusionist filed against Nintendo some time during the DPPt run, he claimed Nintendo stole his likeness when they made Kadabra and he won, because of this you can't find Kadabra in the wild, in the later games Kadabra ignores the everstone when traded and you can't cancel the evolution either and I think they haven't brought out a Kadabra card in the TCG since the lawsuit but I'm not 100% sure about that
Honestly I'd love to see Glitch runs in terms of the Catch Em Alls. Cause I think it would be really interesting to see. Just like how you did it in Red Blue and Yellow
Could you do a video about the cute Charm "Glitch"? It took me 4 hours to accomplish that on my Perl version, but since you do not have any struggle with long time grinding I think it would be an awesome video.
I’ve heard that Kadabra evolving while holding an everstone is due to the Uri Geller lawsuit. It may be a bunch of crap, but it seems like the kind of weird concession Game Freak would try to make
I’m not entirely sure this is a glitch and I know it’s been a month since you posted this, but in my copy of white, in the celestial tower floor with multiple psychics, when I’m on the tile at the top of the stairs you enter the floor on and press the b button you can switch where the physics are looking. I’m pretty sure it works through the entire room so it would be a really good speedy running tactic.
John, I have a good idea for a challenge. It’s “Can you beat (insert Pokémon game here) with only your starter.” It’s a good idea. I have done Pokemon diamond with only Infernape. It’s hard but rewarding.
I’ve done that with every Pokémon game possible until X and Y onwards when the exp share became awesome. The only thing hard about it is the PP consumption during the elite four (if you don’t have elixirs) and when hit by a supersonic if you don’t have anyone to switch too and that’s not really an issue when you need HM slaves in the party anyway
Hey Johnstone, I’m loving your videos!! Can you do a video on which games you need per generation to obtain a full national dex? (I want to do a platinum playthrough and want to know which games I need for a full pokedex)
That grass glitch on route 3 is so trippy! I assume the 7 grass sprites are still locked to the 6 overworld tiles? Otherwise the map would break. I would be interested to see what happens to the sprite animations as you walk up and down on those tiles.
6:22 The reason Kadabra evolves into an Alakazam even with an Everstone is because of some controversy with some guy claiming either he was Kadabra or Nintendo based it off him. I don't remember.
I would like to see a "how easy is it to catch all glitch pokemon" in red/blue or yellow. There are so many cool glitch pokemon with complicated methods of obtaining them and they never get the love they deserve. For example there is a pokemon named Q> that can fuse pokemon together and in red there is a pokemon that can let you get any item including glitch items.
there's also the skydrop glitch you can do in double battles. one Pokémon uses sky drop and then another uses gravity afterwards, and then the Pokémon that was targeted by sky drop can't attack (its turns just get skipped) until it faints. I did that on a friend once lmao
Dont know if you will still see this, but you missed one. When doing a double battle and both of your pokemon die at the same time. You can't select a new pokemon to enter the battle and therefor you are stuck and have to soft restart.
Tbh would love to see s/m specifically sun as it was my favourite when I was little (diamond is my fave now but sun will always hold a special place in my heart)
(6:27) I'm pretty sure you actually cannot cancel a trade evolution by pressing B. Only evolutions that trigger upon a level up can be cancelled with B. (8:37) Actually, it's not because of a level up, but due to the fact that EVs are applied right away after every battle without having to level up starting in Black and White. So, I think it would actually be more likely at higher levels, where points gained from EVs without leveling up are more likely to occur. (8:50) Wouldn't the exit work again if you just stepped off of the exit tile and then back onto it? So, you wouldn't actually be trapped?
I have a really unique challenge for you. In any generation of Pokemon game that has 2 or more games such as ruby, sapphire, and emerald do a reverse Prof. Oak challenge and catch every pokemon before you challenge the Elite 4 and the champion
Ninkask going faster than fast to "break" Trick Room is such an anime move... it would be cool to watch that sequence
Uh that would be cool
Deoxys can also do it
Yeee

Cool video dude.
i like the Cute Charm Glitch, it gives you lots of shinies in, I'm pretty sure, every gen 4 game
For real - it’s so wild how you go from gen 4 with the tweaking glitch, to gen 5 with....a few hit box and sprite errors at best
I like to call gen V the ultimate flex from Game Freak. They finally had a good understanding of what their software was capable of, and they pushed it hard. Every time I go over Skyarrow Bridge or up Celestial Tower, I just get that rush of a good cinematic camera shift and can't help but smile (unless the Deino I'm watching isn't Timid 👀).

Do you do side games? I'd love to see a "How easily can you glitch pokemon mystery dungeon" in honor of the remakes!
Breezey not a big fan of the glitch series, but any other thing related to mystery dungeon would be great.

gen 4 gets ignored in a series about glitches. i wonder if it's because gen 4 glitches have been view whored to death on youtube and there is literally nothing new or interesting to say about it anymore? i wonder if it's because when talking about pokemon games gen 4 almost always takes the spotlight and recieves the most accolades despite the fact that the whole thing is sub-par. i wonder if it's because people will never shut up about gen 4?
gen 4 was meh to me. didn't care about it when it came out. actually might have liked it a little. the mere exposure effect has made me loathe everything sinnoh because it *never* gets passed up. it gets shoehorned in to every scenareo, whether it fits or not.
for crying out loud i've seen reviews of pokemon black and white where they started talking about gen 4 for over a third of the video!
are these meant to be two separate points? for me this reads as gen 4 = x/y
1/5th of the comments on this video are about gen 4, at time of commenting. that's how shoehorned in to everything it is
Frelted yes they were. Probably should have had an “also” at the last sentence.
Chris bromley-west just cuz gen 4 is the only good gen.
I'd like to see sword and shield glitched
As it broke the tradition of Pokemon games, I'd love to see you try and break either Pokemon Colloseum, or one of the Pokemon Ranger series.
I haven't seen anyone cover Pokémon Snap yet. I'm not actually sure what kind or how many glitches exist in that title. If it's enough glitch content to cover a video, I'd love to see that.
Papa John bringing us content to take some boredom out of the quarantine
Just started playing BW. Perfect timing! Already got myself a bunch of event pokemon. (Really easy to do! Try it!)
Bro I would love to see you do a video on some of the Side series games like Pokémon rumble, Pokémon ranger, and mystery dungeon.
Pretty informative! Thanks for uploading! Also, that mid-battle EV gain softlock sounds horrible.
Man I love it when you upload.
I've been binging your channel it's been great
hey john, I would like to see glitches on a game that doesn’t are part of the main games. how about a Pokémon XD Gale of Darkness or Colosseum glitches? love ya
Hey John. Love your vids. Always a lot of fun. I'd still love to see a vid of how long it would take to get your starter to level 100 before the first gym without glitches or cheats. Keep up the great work.
The COVID-19 situation can't be that bad
*sees a poke youtuber doing a gen 5 video*
Oh Arceus, our time has come...
I do remember there being one tall grass tile in a forest somewhere that was visually there but acted like a standard ground tile, like it didn’t contain wild Pokémon and it didn’t have the sprite effect when you walked over it
that was in the farm in the sequel,
Was about time you made a gen 5 video
Loved the video. It would be would be epic if you did an episode on the medals in Black 2 and White 2
got here early, love your videos!
Welcome back!
Hi, I love your videos so much, and I’ve learned so much I didn’t know before because of your channel!
I wouldn't mind seeing you do another pokemon challenge video!
I don't know if it's already been mentioned in the comments but I'm pretty sure that Kadabra evolving while holding an everstone has something to do with the lawsuit an illusionist filed against Nintendo some time during the DPPt run, he claimed Nintendo stole his likeness when they made Kadabra and he won, because of this you can't find Kadabra in the wild, in the later games Kadabra ignores the everstone when traded and you can't cancel the evolution either and I think they haven't brought out a Kadabra card in the TCG since the lawsuit but I'm not 100% sure about that
Honestly I'd love to see Glitch runs in terms of the Catch Em Alls. Cause I think it would be really interesting to see. Just like how you did it in Red Blue and Yellow
Could you do a video about the cute Charm "Glitch"? It took me 4 hours to accomplish that on my Perl version, but since you do not have any struggle with long time grinding I think it would be an awesome video.
I’ve heard that Kadabra evolving while holding an everstone is due to the Uri Geller lawsuit. It may be a bunch of crap, but it seems like the kind of weird concession Game Freak would try to make
I’m not entirely sure this is a glitch and I know it’s been a month since you posted this, but in my copy of white, in the celestial tower floor with multiple psychics, when I’m on the tile at the top of the stairs you enter the floor on and press the b button you can switch where the physics are looking. I’m pretty sure it works through the entire room so it would be a really good speedy running tactic.
John, I have a good idea for a challenge. It’s “Can you beat (insert Pokémon game here) with only your starter.” It’s a good idea. I have done Pokemon diamond with only Infernape. It’s hard but rewarding.
its not hard
I’ve done that with every Pokémon game possible until X and Y onwards when the exp share became awesome. The only thing hard about it is the PP consumption during the elite four (if you don’t have elixirs) and when hit by a supersonic if you don’t have anyone to switch too and that’s not really an issue when you need HM slaves in the party anyway
Hey Johnstone, I’m loving your videos!! Can you do a video on which games you need per generation to obtain a full national dex? (I want to do a platinum playthrough and want to know which games I need for a full pokedex)
That grass glitch on route 3 is so trippy! I assume the 7 grass sprites are still locked to the 6 overworld tiles? Otherwise the map would break. I would be interested to see what happens to the sprite animations as you walk up and down on those tiles.
XD Gale of Darkness is my favorite game, are there any glitches in that?
I love gen 5, great video!
6:22 The reason Kadabra evolves into an Alakazam even with an Everstone is because of some controversy with some guy claiming either he was Kadabra or Nintendo based it off him. I don't remember.
I love that thumbnail. It looks like the old man like teleported behind her omae wa moe style and shoved her off
I want to see Gen 1 or 2 because of the vast amount of glitches, and it would be interesting to see how many glitches you can cram into one video.
Looking forward to more Gen 5 content! ♥
I would like to see a "how easy is it to catch all glitch pokemon" in red/blue or yellow. There are so many cool glitch pokemon with complicated methods of obtaining them and they never get the love they deserve. For example there is a pokemon named Q> that can fuse pokemon together and in red there is a pokemon that can let you get any item including glitch items.
there's also the skydrop glitch you can do in double battles. one Pokémon uses sky drop and then another uses gravity afterwards, and then the Pokémon that was targeted by sky drop can't attack (its turns just get skipped) until it faints. I did that on a friend once lmao
I love your videos! Can you do some videos from Pokemon sun and moon?
so excited for gen 5's professor oak challenge
great videos and you get right to the point on everything thank you
I would love to see Pokemon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness get some love in this series. Infinite Master Balls? Yes please.
B/W are like classics to me. It was a little surprising to see all of these! Iccirus may be an exploit, though.
Dont know if you will still see this, but you missed one. When doing a double battle and both of your pokemon die at the same time. You can't select a new pokemon to enter the battle and therefor you are stuck and have to soft restart.
Dude you definitely have to do a professor Oaks challenge on these games next
great video! Can you do X and Y next?
You should do way more pokemon black/black2 videos!!
This was great. Makes it even better that's it is my favorite gen
Tbh would love to see s/m specifically sun as it was my favourite when I was little (diamond is my fave now but sun will always hold a special place in my heart)
I don't know how many there are but it'd be cool to see a video on glitches in Sword and Shield.
(6:27) I'm pretty sure you actually cannot cancel a trade evolution by pressing B. Only evolutions that trigger upon a level up can be cancelled with B.
(8:37) Actually, it's not because of a level up, but due to the fact that EVs are applied right away after every battle without having to level up starting in Black and White. So, I think it would actually be more likely at higher levels, where points gained from EVs without leveling up are more likely to occur.
(8:50) Wouldn't the exit work again if you just stepped off of the exit tile and then back onto it? So, you wouldn't actually be trapped?
I have a really unique challenge for you. In any generation of Pokemon game that has 2 or more games such as ruby, sapphire, and emerald do a reverse Prof. Oak challenge and catch every pokemon before you challenge the Elite 4 and the champion
