The '''old man glitch''', officially known as the '''Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick''', is a famous [[glitch]] in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. It is one of the ways in which the [[player character|player]] can encounter [[Missingno.]] and [['M (00)]]. Its name comes from the {{ka|old man}} in [[Viridian City]], who is required to complete the glitch. It is not to be confused with the related [[item duplication glitch]], which is most easily performed by first performing the old man glitch.


This glitch was not present in the Japanese [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], or {{game|Blue|_(Japanese)}}. This glitch was fixed in some {{wp|European}} versions of Red and Blue, such as the {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}} and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} versions, by making the shore tiles act as [[water tile]]s, but still remains in other European versions, such as the {{pmin|Germany|German}} version. In the {{pmin|France|French}} version, the glitch is present, but the game freezes every time a [[Missingno.]] or [['M (00)]] appears. This glitch was removed in all versions of {{game|Yellow}} by blanking the data for wild Pokémon before overwriting it, and reprogramming shore tiles to not call any [[wild Pokémon]].
