Teru-sama: Difference between revisions

'''Teru-sama''' (Japanese: '''{{j|カビチュウ}}''' ''Kabichū'') is a group of dummy [[item]]s that serve as fillers for the internal item list in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. There are 29 variations of Teru-sama in Gold and Silver and 25 in Crystal.

Teru-sama can be sold for {{PDollar}}19,660 at [[Poké Mart]]s. The buy price of {{PDollar}}39,321 is 0x9999 in hexadecimal or 9999 in {{wp|binary-coded decimal}} (BCD), the latter being the format used by {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}} for storing money data. The Generation II games instead use plain binary integers for money instead of BCD; however, the buy Teru-sama price uses the old format, suggesting that they were added early in the development of Gold and Silver.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_and_Silver#Teru-sama Pokémon Gold and Silver - The Cutting Room Floor] (price info courtesy of IIMarckus)</ref>

Teru-sama IDs 0x06 and 0x38 are respectively the [[Town Map]] and [[Poké Flute]] from Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow and they can be enabled by hacking in the "USE" option. The Town Map is faulty and causes bugs while the Poké Flute still works, although the audio only plays if used on a {{status|Sleep|sleeping}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. The Poké Flute also does not affect the sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} in [[Vermilion City]].
