'''Teru-sama''' (Japanese: '''カビチュウ''' ''Kabichū'') is an [[List of unobtainable items|unused]] [[item]] in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. It can be obtained by using [[glitch]]es.

==Purpose==
'''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.
The Teru-sama is akin to [[Missingno.]] in the [[Generation I]] games; it was created by the [[Game Freak]] developers as a filler for the empty spaces in the internal item list of the games' {{wp|ROM cartridge|ROM}}. Beyond this purpose, it can be sold for {{PDollar}}19660.


==Acquisition==
==In the core series games==
By modifying the [[Bag]]'s item data to include items with certain index numbers or by performing the [[Celebi Egg glitch]] with a [[move]]'s index number that matches the index number of the item, the player can obtain a Teru-sama. There are 29 variations of it in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and 25 in {{game|Crystal}}, with three of them having unique effects in all games (when forced to have a Use option).
===Price===
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>

The following Teru-sama become exclusive {{game|Crystal}} [[key item]]s when traded from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. In the Korean versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver, these Teru-sama (except for the {{key|II|Egg Ticket}}) were renamed to match Pokémon Crystal but they are otherwise unchanged. When viewed in {{g|Stadium 2}}, they show up as the exclusive item from Pokémon Crystal, even if the games connected to the [[Transfer Pak]] are Pokémon Gold and Silver.

Teru-sama IDs 0x46, 0x73, 0x74, and 0x81 are items in Crystal and {{g|Stadium 2}}. They are respectively the [[Clear Bell]], [[GS Ball]], [[Blue Card]], and [[Egg Ticket]]. Save for 0x81, these Teru-sama were renamed in Korean Gold and Silver to match the names of the corresponding items in Crystal.

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; the Poké Flute still works, although the audio only plays if used on a {{status|sleep}}ing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. The Poké Flute also does not affect the sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} in [[Vermilion City]].

In all the [[Generation II]] games, Teru-sama with index numbers '''0x06''' and '''0x38''' actually have an effect after being modified to include the Use option onto them, which reveals that they are actually leftover items from the [[Generation I]] games.
{{YouTubeEmbed|n938w96Uf_I|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Johto}}


* Teru-sama '''0x06''' works as a faulty version of the old [[Town Map]].
Teru-sama IDs 0x19, 0x2D, 0x32, 0x5A, 0x64, 0x78, 0x87, and 0xBE occupy item ID slots which would be unsuitable for containing obtainable items, as they are [[List of Pokémon by wild held item (Generation II)|replaced upon trading from Generation I to Generation II]].
* Teru-sama '''0x38''' is the [[Poké Flute]] and works exactly the same; however, the audio only plays if used on a {{status|Sleep|sleeping}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. It also does not affect the sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} in [[Vermilion City]].

All other items called "Teru-sama" (item IDs not mentioned above) serve no practical purpose other than to be sold.


Teru-sama '''0xBE''', if forced with the Use option, triggers an invalid pointer, indicating that it was likely never intended to support the function.

==Name origin==
===Acquisition===
Teru-sama, as the English name, may be a reference to [[Teruki Murakawa]], a member from the [[staff of Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and [[Staff of Pokémon Crystal|Pokémon Crystal]] listed as a programmer under "US Version Staff" in the English versions and as part of "Korean Coordination" under "Korean Version Staff" in the Korean versions.
:''See [[List of items by index number (Generation II)]] for the Teru-sama item IDs.''
By performing the [[Celebi Egg glitch]] with a [[move]] ID value equal to that of an item ID, the player can obtain a Teru-sama.


The Japanese name ''Kabichū'' (カビチュウ) is meaningless but it combines ''kabi'' (カビ) from {{p|Snorlax|Kabigon}} (カビゴン) and ''chū'' (チュウ) from {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, or {{p|Raichu}}.
==In other languages==
Teru-sama, as the English and European name of the item, may be a reference to [[Teruki Murakawa]], a member of the [[staff of Pokémon Gold and Silver|staff of Pokémon Gold, Silver,]] and [[Staff of Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]]. ''sama'' is a {{wp|Japanese honorific}} used for people of higher status than oneself.


==In other languages==
The Japanese name ''Kabichū'' ({{j|カビチュウ}}) is meaningless but it combines ''kabi'' ({{j|カビ}}) from {{p|Snorlax|Kabigon}} ({{j|カビゴン}})—potentially in reference to programmer [[Kōji Nishino]]—and ''chū'' ({{j|チュウ}}) from {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}}.<ref>[http://wiki.ポケモン.com/wiki/カビチュウ {{j|カビチュウ - ポケモンWiki}}] <small>{{j|「おそらくカビゴンのカビとピカチュウのチュウを合わせて開発者の遊び心で造られた言葉と考えられる。」}}</small></ref>
