* The [[Pewter Gym skip glitch]] allows the player to bypass the person blocking the path out of Pewter City prior to defeating Brock 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. | * The [[Pewter Gym skip glitch]] allows the player to bypass the person blocking the path out of Pewter City prior to defeating Brock and then talk to him from the right side, an action the developers did not anticipate.

*It is possible to become trapped at several of the game's cities that aren't accessible on foot by reaching the location with no Pokémon capable of using the move Surf or Fly. While the game has a number of measures intended to prevent this, such as preventing the player from releasing Pokémon if they have HM moves, it is possible to bypass this by placing them in the [[Pokémon Day Care|Day Care]], then warping to the location to be softlocked in by using [[Teleport]]. If the player has no money to purchase items, and no items that could aid them in catching a Pokemon capable of using Surf to escape, the player is effectively trapped and unable to escape.<ref>[https://www.fanbyte.com/features/soft-locking/ Meet the Players Who Render Games Unplayable], ''Fanbyte''</ref> | |||
