Super Glitch: Difference between revisions

Super Glitch can cause some rather strange effects. The most famous scenario is a chain of events starting with the music slowly fading out before stopping altogether known as the '[[TMTRAINER effect]]'. The opponent's name then changes to "TMTRAINER" followed by several lines of [[glitch]] dialogue, and the {{stat|HP}} of his or her Pokémon rises to a very large value which is often larger than the amount of max HP that the opponent Pokémon has, causing the HP bar to stretch and wrap around the screen. (The filled part of the bar also instantly jumps from empty to full repeatedly before fainting (0HP) during damage animation due to the fact that the calculations to display how much fill in the bar in percent has been overflowed, thus causing the fill to wrap between empty and full.) It will display that the enemy Pokémon is {{status|poison}}ed, but the game will state that it is {{status|freeze|frozen solid}}, followed by the enemy Pokémon becoming hurt by a {{status|burn}}. This burn will often deplete all of the enemy Pokémon's health, causing the giant HP bar to loop several times before all the HP is depleted, causing it to faint. If the battle is won before the game freezes, the glitch Pokémon that used Super Glitch may grow to a random level (sometimes even exceeding level 100). Sometimes, many random Pokémon not part of the player's team evolve right after a battle. On such cases, Pokémon that cannot evolve can evolve into themselves.

On occasion, a player may return to the game after a battle in which Super Glitch was used, but everything will be severely glitched. It will appear as if some Pokémon are poisoned in the player's team as every few steps a Pokémon faints. However, these Pokémon will have glitchy names and were never part of the player's team before the battle. Some positions of the map will be glitchy and volatile, as if parts of [[Glitch City]] merged with the regular map. The player's name will have changed to a scrambled string of symbols. The player will be unable to view his or her Pokémon (if the Pokémon option is selected in the menu, a blank screen will show from which one can't escape) and hence it becomes impossible to {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}. Pokémon will disappear out of the Pokédex after taking a few steps. The music everywhere (except in battle) becomes eerie and glitched. The game may unexpectedly freeze at any point. The player may also randomly get stuck. By using the "deposit" option in the PC, it is possible to reveal that the game has given the player a lot of Pokémon, many of them with names made entirely out of glitch characters and with stats exceeding 999. Many of these Pokémon will crash the game if the player attempts to interact with them.
