This is one of two glitches in the games to be officially acknowledged by [[Nintendo]],<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/adpj/info/ ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド・パール/お知らせ]</ref> with the other being the [[surf glitch]]. In early copies of the Japanese versions, after entering the [[Union Room]] on the second floor of the {{si|Pokémon League}} building, which shares the layout with the second floor of any regular [[Pokémon Center]], the player will end up in a wall and not be able to return.

In the Japanese versions, a boulder in the [[Slowpoke Well]] can be {{m|Strength|pushed}} over a [[ledge]] into the [[Water tile|water]]. The boulder will act as if it was on dry land. It was removed in the localizations.

{{GlitchResearch|If the cloned Pokémon is traded out to another game, or leveled up in the Pokéwalker, does the game accept?}}
When a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is successfully transferred to the [[Pokéwalker]] but the game is turned off before [[saving]], the Pokémon would appear in both the Pokéwalker and the [[Pokémon Storage System]] box it was in prior to the transfer. However, attempting to bring the Pokémon in the Pokéwalker back into the game would cause it to be {{pkmn2|released}} into the {{pkmn2|wild}}, even if the original Pokémon data had already been deleted or moved, such as being [[trade]]d or released. This is because the data of the Pokémon that was transferred was not saved onto the game, thus the game will not recognize the Pokémon that is on the Pokéwalker, therefore it releases it. The game only recognizes Pokémon caught from the Pokéwalker and the Pokémon's data that is stored in the game after the transfer. This is to prevent external or third-party devices from transferring Pokémon data onto the game.

===Walking Pokémon position glitch===
===Walking Pokémon position glitch===
If the [[menu]] is opened while the [[walking Pokémon]] jumps off a [[ledge]] and the player checks the status screen of any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[party]], the Pokémon will get a little bit higher up, so viewing the stats of a Pokémon continuously will result in the Pokémon going off-screen.

===Corrupted save file cloning===
===Corrupted save file cloning===
Occasionally, when the [[Saving|save file]] gets corrupted, the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} data is kept. When this happens, the game can still be saved, but the save file will be unable to be loaded. With the assistance of another handheld and another game, the Pokémon can be [[trade]]d from the game with the corrupted save file. After the trade is completed, if the game is rebooted, the Pokémon traded from the corrupted save file will be in both games but the other traded Pokémon will be lost.

In Western versions of the games, if a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has a non-English or non-Japanese character (for example, á, é, í, ó, ú, etc.) in either its [[nickname]] or [[original Trainer]] name and it is sent through [[Pal Park]], those characters will be converted into random kana.

===Trade cloning===
If a player is [[Trade|trading]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and one of the handhelds is turned off at a certain time, the Pokémon that was traded to the game that was not turned off will appear in both player's [[Party|parties]]. However, this glitch is very difficult to perform and quite commonly corrupts the [[Saving|save file]].
