Several different things can happen upon activating this glitch, one being that the [[game freeze]]s upon activating it. The other is that the screen turns white with a small pink rectangle in the top right-hand corner and the game restarts with different colors. When activated, it alters the colors of everything from the area the {{player}} walks around in to the wild and {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles. Also, it slows the processing speed when trying to view the player's [[party]] Pokémon when not in battle. Pitch black places like [[Dark Cave]] will be illuminated without the use of the move {{m|Flash}}. The '''<sup>P</sup><sub>o</sub><sup>k</sup><sub>é</sub>''' in [[Pokégear]] changes to ど◀ when the player enters their Pokémon selection. All fade-in and fade-out transitions are disabled.

Interestingly, the {{p|Ho-Oh}} on the title screen of Gold Version changes from a silhouette to a fully colored Pokémon.

Trading a Pokémon with the glitch move {{m|--}} onto a [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]] or {{v2|Crystal}}, then using -- in battle will cause the game to enter the glitch dimension.

===Other methods===
Move hex:FE (a move with a blank name, thus is referred to here as its hexadecimal identifier) has also been found to cause glitch dimension, but this has not been confirmed outside of Crystal on emulator, as in this video.

==Explanation==
==Explanation==
The glitch causes the game to reset unexpectedly. When this happens it repeats the process used at startup to determine what type of [[Game Boy]] it is running on. This process relies on the fact that different models leave different information in memory at startup. Since the game was already running, that information is no longer present, so the process fails and believes it is running on a [[Game Boy|classic Game Boy]]. Because of that, the game is trying to ensure backward compatibility by disabling all changes in color palettes, since the original Game Boy did not support them.
The glitch dimension is the result of the game resetting unexpectedly. When this happens it repeats the process used at startup to determine what type of [[Game Boy]] it is running on. This process relies on the fact that different models leave different information in memory at startup. Since the game was already running, that information is no longer present, so the process fails and believes it is running on a [[Game Boy|classic Game Boy]]. Because of this, the game is trying to ensure backward compatibility by disabling all changes in color palettes, since the original Game Boy did not support them.


As the game thinks that it is running on the first model of Game Boy, certain features will be locked out. For example, talking to the girl in the [[Goldenrod Department Store]] who enables [[Mystery Gift#Generation II|Mystery Gift]] will tell the player that Mystery Gift requires a [[Game Boy Color]].

{{game|Crystal}} completely abandoned any backward compatibility with the original Game Boy, so performing this glitch on Crystal will cause the game to show an error message, explaining that a Game Boy Color is necessary to play.
