    I would say my favorite glitch is the Gen 1 desync glitch, when you use a damage rate move in an online battle if the number of hits isn't equal in both games the battle will desinc and you can theorycally win and lose a match at the same time.

      @@thefaz3744 I'm not sure about the specifics of the multihit desync, however I do know about a similar rng-based desync based around Psywave. Psywave, for whatever reason, has different damage ranges depending on which player is viewing it, so it can potentially appear to do 1 damage for one player and 0 for the other, causing a difference in HP and so a desync.
      Other desyncs include being thawed by a Fire move while not having selected a prior move, selecting Counter while your opponent is hovered over a counterable move but having them switch to an uncounterable one, and a lot more.

      @@thefaz3744 It's a messy explanation to the glitch, but basically if you use psywave in a multiplayer battle you're doing different damage rolls in the same battle depending the point of view, so you can KO and not KO your opponent's mon at the same time. This makes the game crash eventually.

      ​@@xaropevic7918 Reverend explains it in his video on niches in competitive pokemon, but basically, due to a glitch involving the EXP All item, you can knock out caterpies to gain stat exp in everything but the Special stat, allowing you to max everything else out, therefore allowing you to legally attain any amount of special stat exp with the other stats maxed out.
      The same can also be done for attack, which allows min-attack pokemon to be legal (such as any pure special attackers that want to minimize confusion damage.)

      not exactly the same, the Mewtwo overflow requires going up to at least +4 (usually with Amnesia) and then getting a Special drop (usually with Psychic). specifically in that order, +2 -> +1 -> +3 doesn't work.

  • @theshoddystrawman
    @theshoddystrawman Рік тому +1

    The reason why the stats roll over is because of hardware limitations.
    How computers store information is reliant on bits, and each bit has 2 possible storage values, which are 0 and 1.
    How computer scientists decided to make this work for technology is to use base 2 in coding (or binary), but essentially
    Instead of counting by 10s (11 = 11), they counted by groups of 2s (11 = 3). So something like 101 would be 9 in binary.
    Not all hardware can handle really large numbers easily, as you have limited space within the cartridge and how much to allocate to each element in the game.
    But what happens if you're at max capacity and need to keep going? Because of how they're stored, going from 3-> 4 would look like 011 -> 100
    So when you're at something like
    11111111 and you need to add something else to it, despite the fact you cannot add anymore, everything flips back over again, so it results in 00000000.
    So the values literally roll over.

      You could always just trade a pokemon to another game, teach the tm, then trade it back, or you could have a pokemon hold a tm while you trade them. I believe in some gens you can also pass down tm moves via breeding.

      Pretty sure any fix in multiplayer would just lead to a desync against the other versions, hence crystal keeping it in multiplayer.
      Also, I feel like a lot of these edge cases help give gens 1 and 2 their identities, even though they don't have abilities or (in gen 1's case) items.
