A '''glitch''', also known as '''bug''', is a software error that can lead to unintended behavior in software like the [[Pokémon games]]. It can be triggered from mistakes within the game's code or by exploits that were not anticipated by the programmers, thus causing the game to react unexpectedly. Glitches present in Pokémon games may have diverse effects, such as the disruption of graphics or audio effects, the occurence of [[glitch Pokémon]], or the corruption of [[save]] data. When noticed, glitches may be fixed in further releases of a game by its developers. Starting in [[Generation V]], {{wp|Patch (computing)|patch}}es may be released that fix glitches in Pokémon games directly.

It can be triggered from mistakes within the game's code or by exploits that were not anticipated by the programmers, thus causing the game to react unexpectedly. Glitches present in Pokémon games can have a variety of effects, such as the disruption of graphics or audio effects, the appearance of [[glitch Pokémon]], or the corruption of [[save]] data.
 
When noticed, glitches may be fixed by its developers in later releases of a game or derivative games. In some games, such as {{game|Ruby and Sapphire}} and {{g|X and Y}}, {{wp|Patch (computing)|patch}}es are released that fix glitches in Pokémon games directly.
