    I think I can explain a bit why the red Seadra appears in the right corner after the battle plays a random song and soft locks the game. All that was done was replacing Cara’s glitch trainer class with a valid one so the game wouldn’t crash if you tried to initiate a battle. It is the way the end of the battle is handled that is the problem. Cara lacks a victory sequence at the end. In a battle with a valid trainer after you beat them they appear in the right corner standing there and award you money, Cara due to being a glitch trainer completely lacks this. The game realizes that it has to piece together some sort of victory sequence so it attempts to have the last Pokémon that battled for Cara initiate the victory sequence instead, but since the game was never meant to have a Pokémon appear after winning against any trainer in the game, it has no idea how to handle it and instead of awarding poke dollars for a victory it freaks out and soft locks. As for why the seadra is red it is not because it fused with a random sprite in game, as red is a primary color and cannot be created by simply fusing together the main color of two random sprites. I think it may be a consequence of the game being forced to run in game boy mode, as it already has a tendency to change colors in game, and have a color be the complete opposite of what it is meant to be in certain cases.

      The Seadra is red because Cara is actually an Ace Trainer in Blackthorn City's Dragon's Den; the red Seadra actually has the color palette of the female Ace Trainer.

      Well, the victory sequence being borked is likely due to there not being one, which just means it'll pull and unrelated location in memory and have that start running, which apparently immediately switched the textbox from "display text" mode to "execute commands" mode, thus resulting in the slurry of random sound bites before something goes horribly wrong.

    She reminds me a lot of W.D. Gaster long before his time. Even if she's just a product of faulty emulation, it's really cool that all this still lines up. Not to mention it lines up with the games' future trend of ghost girls.

    I imagine she was a strong trainer, that either went to try and get stronger, or since her team if 3 water types, she wanted to help take out the fire on the tower(but that's less probable) and got either lost or some debri (?) Fell on her and she couldn't get out, even with the help of her pokemon (and that's where the player comes in, you help her, in game perspective) ...oooorrr she died

    What if there were plans to make a female firebreather class? She clearly reuses the name and party of Ace Trainer Cara, so they must have been cut early in development, but it makes more sense to me then what you proposed. I still like your theories about her tho.

    If what I know about these early Pokemon games is accurate, there really is no actual lore to this "character"; she's not a person, she's a glitch, a line of code the game didn't know how to read so it interpreted said code as a hybrid fire breather/dragon's den trainer that only appears when the game is already struggling to interpret a bunch of other garbage data. Same thing with MissingNo., actually,.

    this is probably tied to some engine limitation or dev zone meant to make development easier, this happens in some games where devs like to create spaces inside the game itself to poke their heads into and test stuff out, so my best guess is that the devs were probably using the girl for bug testing hence all the crashing, the bugs and the weird detection.
    The use of a name and possible lore I image is probably the result of the devs making up a story to liven things up

    In pokèmon Pearl there is a graveyard full of people saying depressing things like "this pokèmon made me and my boyfriend meet"
    There is also a ghost girl in the abounded house in the forest,
    You can tell she is a ghost because is you look at her feet they don't move,you have to go into the room right next to the last one in one of the hallways,
    The house looks burnt so there might have been a fire that house, I think the gym leader (the grass type trainer) talks about ghost who rome around (after you fight her again after you beat the champion) there is all lot more that I would tell you but don't know because I have not finished the game but if you want to try it it's all on pokèmon go.

  • @ethanfranzen8684
    @ethanfranzen8684 2 роки тому +3

    2:26: That's not a glitch city. That's a glitch map, Map 0xFF00. Glitch cities like you showed with Gen 1 exist in Gen 2 and it's pretty much the same concept: just out of bounds areas in normal maps. They look kind of related, but glitch cities can be easily explored without harming the game and (most?) glitch maps cannot.
    I am glad that you showed the stuff that the ghost references, though I'd like some more technical answers.
    I have heard that Map 0xFF00 has 36 events and that this overflows into other parts of RAM, such as your items and pokémon names, so changing that RAM might affect some of those events. The ghost is, I think, part of this set of events. Stop treating pokémon glitches as mysteries. Just trace what data is being read from or written to during these events. What are the conditions for activating these 36 events and how can you force a proper emulator or real console to achieve access to them? How does the game allot pokémon teams to trainers and classes? Why does her name reference a real trainer, while her class name is an unterminated glitch class? The answers are there, just waiting to be looked at and understood. ACE is trivial to do in the first 2 generations of Pokémon games, so the player could force the game to stay together and to be accurate in doing these glitch events without other errors that normally occur from the map data overflowing.

    Unfortunately the correct answer is even more boring than the boring theory proposed in the video. She's not even a scrapped character, she simply isn't a character at all. There's no data in G/S/C for a trainer encounter like her. She's the result of old inaccurate emulators pulling together random assets to create a trainer encounter that just so happens to be creepy.

You couldn't even battle this broken npc if it wasn't for cheats. And it turns out in the end, that she is just a glitch trainer that is pulling pokemon team data from another trainer. It looking like a burned ghost doesn't have anything special because its sprite is pulling from random data.
