-'''Teru-sama''' (Japanese: '''カビチュウ''' ''Kabichū'') is a [[glitch]] [[item]] that appears in [[Generation II]]. There are 29 variations in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, and 26 in {{v2|Crystal}}. It appears to have no other use than to be sold for {{PDollar}}19660. It is kept in <!--either the [[key item]]s or -->the items pocket<!--, depending on the index number-->. Teru-sama is a data filler between actual items in [[Generation II]], like [[Missingno.]] is filler between Pokémon in [[Generation I]].
+'''Teru-sama''' (Japanese: '''カビチュウ''' ''Kabichū'') is a [[List of dummied out items|dummied-out]] [[item]] that serves as a placeholder for item data in the [[Generation II]] {{Pkmn|games}}. There are 29 variations in {{Game|Gold and Silver|s}} and 26 in {{Game|Crystal}}. Regardless of variation, it can be sold for {{PDollar}}19660. Its purpose is akin to [[Missingno.]] in the [[Generation I]] games.
-The Teru-sama is found at the following hexadecimal index numbers: 06, 19, 2D, 32, 38, 5A, 64, {{tt|73|Gold and Silver only}}, {{tt|74|Gold and Silver only}}, 78, {{tt|81|Gold and Silver only}}, 87, 88, 89, 8D, 8E, 91, 93, 94, 95, 99, 9A, 9B, A2, AB, B0, B3, BE
+The Teru-sama is obtained by modifying the Bag's item data to include items with the following hexadecimal index numbers: 06, 19, 2D, 32, 38, 5A, 64, 73{{Sup/2|GS}}, 74{{Sup/2|GS}}, 78, 81{{Sup/2|GS}}, 87, 88, 89, 8D, 8E, 91, 93, 94, 95, 99, 9A, 9B, A2, AB, B0, B3, and BE.
 ==Use==
-Teru-sama located at certain index numbers can become Crystal-exclusive items when traded into Crystal. Index number 115 becomes a [[GS Ball]], index number 116 becomes a [[Blue Card]], and index number 129 becomes an [[Egg Ticket]]. When viewed in {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, the Teru-sama will show up as the corresponding Crystal item, even in Gold and Silver.
+{{GlitchResearch|What is the actual effect of using the Generation I Town Map?}}
+Teru-sama located at certain index numbers can become actual [[item]]s when traded from Pokémon Gold and Silver to Pokémon Crystal:
+* Index number 115 becomes [[GS Ball]]
+* Index number 116 becomes [[Blue Card]]
+* Index number 129 becomes [[Egg Ticket]].
+When viewed in {{G|Stadium 2}}, the Teru-sama will show up as the corresponding Crystal-exclusive item, even in Gold and Silver.
-Two Teru-sama, through hacking a "use" option onto them, actually have an effect. One brings up the [[Town Map]]; it displays the [[Kanto]] map for less than 1/10 of a second, then when returning to the item menu, the tiles become glitched. Another item is the [[Poké Flute]], which works exactly the same as in [[Generation I]] ({{status|sleep|waking up}} a Pokémon in battle), but remains silent.
+Two Teru-sama, after being modified to include the <code>USE</code> option onto them, actually have an effect. One brings up the [[Town Map]] from [[Generation I]]<!--, which displays the [[Kanto]] map for less than 1/10 of a second, then when returning to the item menu, the tiles become glitched-->, while the other is the Generation I [[Poké Flute]], which works exactly the same but remains silent.
 ==Name origin==
-Teru-sama can literally be translated from Japanese as "Lord Sunshine" or "Master Sunshine", coming from the word ''Teru'' (''Sunshine'' or ''to Shine'') and the suffix ''-sama'' (an honorific that shows extreme respect and is most often translated as "lord" or "master"). It is possible that ''-sama'' is actually a typographic error, and that the name should be ''Teru-tama'', which would translate as "Sunshine Ball", which ties in with the [[GS Ball]]. Despite this, its Japanese name is completely different.
+Teru-sama, as the English name, is likely a reference to '''''Teru'''ki Murakawa'', a programmer who appears listed on the staff of [[Staff of Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and [[Staff of Pokémon Crystal|Pokémon Crystal]] under "US Version Staff".
+Its Japanese name, カビチュウ ''Kabichū'', could be a corruption of ガービッジ, a {{Wp|wasei-eigo}} for "garbage". Since it is a placeholder for item data, with no otherwise useful purpose, it can refer to {{Jwp|ごみ (プログラミング)|ごみ}} ''gomi'' (also commonly spelled in katakana as ゴミ), the Japanese equivalent of {{Wp|Garbage (computer science)|garbage}} in programming jargon, although ごみ is used to refer to {{Wp|municipal solid waste}} as well. Of note is that カビ ''kabi'' is part of {{P|Snorlax}}'s Japanese name, '''カビ'''ゴン '''''Kabi'''gon'', while チュウ ''chū'' is part of {{P|Pichu}}'s, {{P|Pikachu}}'s and {{P|Raichu}}'s Japanese names.
