Because invisible walls that trap the player exist on the western side of the city, going north is usually the only way to escape the "normal" Glitch City. If a player goes to the westernmost "checker-board" water pattern in the city, and goes left of it one square and then right one square, this will enable the entire city to become water (when the player presses "start") and allow the player to swim north until they reach the barrier that normally cannot be crossed (causing the game to freeze). Once the player is far enough north, before reaching the northern border the player can swim east or west for a long period of time until the game freezes. | Because invisible walls that trap the player exist on the western side of the city, going north is usually the only way to escape the "normal" Glitch City.

The reason the game freezes when heading too far north, east or west is because the player is surfing into a location that does not exist in the game's memory; as a result, the game cannot function. The only safe way out is by heading due south. It also happens in places that do exist but are completely altered. For example, when the player is able to surf considerably far north and then surfs west, they will reach where Cinnabar Island should be. However, because the game is in a glitched state it does not recognize the Island and when the player tries to go where the Island is, it will freeze. (The reason flying out of Glitch City successfully ends the Glitch is because those places are in different parts of the game's memory.) | The reason the game freezes when heading too far north, east or west is because the player is surfing outside of the map and into a location that does not exist in the game's memory; as a result, the game cannot function.

Although the Cinnabar Island Glitch City is most famous, others are also notable. If a player goes to Cycling Road instead of the Cinnabar Coast to do the Glitch City trick, they will go to a Glitch City where they are always automatically walking downward. This is because normally the bicycle the player is on in Cycling Road automatically goes downward. Also, if said player tries to get on their bike it will say "You can't get off here," which is the normal message displayed when a player is trying to get ''off'' their bike on Cycling Road. It should be noted that a player goes to the southern-most point of cycling road where it is not sloped, that player will be sent to a different glitch city where they can't move at all. While doing the Glitch City glitch, if the player goes to Victory Road instead of Cinnabar Island, the Glitch City created will contain statues from the Indigo Plateau/Victory Road. In the [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow version]], if the player goes to [[Route 13]] while doing the Glitch City trick, the player will be transported to a Glitch City where any move the player makes will send him or her to the Saffron City gym. Once he or she leaves the gym, the player will be in a completely different Glitch City. | Although the Cinnabar Island Glitch City is most famous, others are also notable.
