As the player must battle another Trainer (in a different area) after escaping from the long-range Trainer before the final encounter can appear, this can cause problems if all possible available Trainers have been defeated. The [[Elite Four]] can be rebattled indefinitely, but as the A button to talk to characters remains nonfunctional until a Trainer has been defeated, it is not possible to challenge them directly. Nor can the player directly save the game as the start menu cannot be opened. | As the player must battle another Trainer (in a different area) after escaping from the long-range Trainer before the final encounter can appear, this can cause problems if all possible available Trainers have been defeated.

(The A and B buttons remain functional for the PC.) After saving, the player can reset the game; the Start, A, and B buttons will now be functional. The player can then defeat the entire [[Elite Four]] and [[Champion]] in place of battling another Trainer (as no such Trainers exist), and finally return to the area of the first long-range Trainer to complete the glitch. It is recommended to flash the start menu right before returning, to prevent a possible text box error (see below). | ||
Note that as long as the player has at least one undefeated Trainer in a different area than the long-range Trainer, they can avoid the above tediousness indefinitely. It is not necessary to defeat another Trainer after escaping, only battle one, so a player can deliberately lose to a Trainer and continue on with the glitch, and that Trainer will remain battleable. | Note that as long as the player has at least one undefeated Trainer in a different area than the long-range Trainer, they can avoid the above tediousness indefinitely.

===Text box errors and variations=== | |||
This can be also one of the side-effects of the Mew glitch If the player causes a text box to pop up before returning to the area where the long-range Trainer was escaped from, such as by talking to a NPC or reading a sign, then something other than the start menu will pop up at the end of the glitch. This is typically dialogue from Trainers on the route, which may be followed by a wild Pokémon battle, after which the player will no longer be able to move.{{fact}} Alternately, the text may be from interacting with a sign or an item; in the latter case, the item will appear in the player's inventory and disappear from the route as if they had picked it up normally. This may also allow the player to obtain items which are not currently on the route. Finally, instead of a text box, the player may trigger other glitches, such as [[glitch song]]s or [[0 ERROR]]. | This can be also one of the side-effects of the Mew glitch If the player causes a text box to pop up before returning to the area where the long-range Trainer was escaped from, such as by talking to a NPC or reading a sign, then something other than the start menu will pop up at the end of the glitch.
