Traveling a multiple of 65,536 steps in the void will cause the game to no longer display only black, but rather start copying the map data of normal areas due to an overflow{{fact}} after attempting to load data past {{wp|4294967295#In_computing|4,294,967,296}} bytes (each map tile takes up 65,536 bytes). Only the visual data is loaded like this; almost everything can still be walked through just as in the rest of the void. These areas are nicknamed "Fake Sinnoh"{{sup/4|DPP}} or "Fake Johto/Kanto"{{sup/4|HGSS}}. 'Fake' regions continue to repeat every 65,536 steps and are about an hour apart when traveling on the Bicycle in fast gear. | Traveling a multiple of 65,536 steps in the void will cause the game to no longer display only black, but rather start copying the map data of normal areas due to an overflow{{fact}} after attempting to load data past {{wp|4294967295#In_computing|4,294,967,296}} bytes (each map tile takes up 65,536 bytes).

As part of the paths to access Darkrai and Shaymin, the player is required to save the game in the void, so the same risks associated with the [[Surf glitch]] occur here, such as becoming trapped without a method of escape. It is also possible for, in the worst possible circumstance, the game to immediately freeze upon loading the save file, forcing a new game to be started. This can be tested for however by opening and closing an option on the menu such as the | As part of the paths to access Darkrai and Shaymin, the player is required to save the game in the void, so the same risks associated with the [[Surf glitch]] occur here, such as becoming trapped without a method of escape.
