* In [[Kanto]]-based [[core series]] games, before obtaining the [[Boulder Badge]], a person blocks the path out of [[Pewter City]] to {{rt|3|Kanto}}. In [[Generation I]] games (except {{v2|Yellow}}), the [[Pewter Gym skip glitch]] allows the player to bypass this person and then talk to him from the right side, an action the developers did not anticipate. | |||
:As the path the person walks is dependent on the side the player talks to him from, the game attempts to look up a path based on the player's coordinates. Specifically, the game looks in the memory and tries find the coordinates (y=16, x=36 or hex:10 24) at an address ending in 2, 6, A or E. It then executes a path based on a two byte pointer following the coordinates, but the game may seemingly never find the coordinates at an applicable address and soft lock. | |||
