thechucknorrisofNSMB The point of the video is to see how the game could be pushed to achieve the literal lowest A presses possible, not to get anything useful out of it. Werster’s speedrun is more exemplary as to where this could practically go. This video is just a lot cooler.

I wasn't complaining.

the glitch do be groovy

you must be using a high-end video card to render all that pixel

You should check every backsprite in the game. Also, some more pokemon can be obtained early in the game through the Mew glitch, which depends on the special stat of opposing pokemon. Check all the pokemon you can get from the range of all special stats from each trainer's pokemon and the wild pokemon. The DVs of wild pokemon can be manipulated for, but they are all low level so the stats won't change much, if at all.

Oh, you think that takes awhile? Getting the switch star in the gomboss stage in SM64DS with 0x B presses requires spawning objects for over _1000 years_ until the 32-bit object ID counter overflows, allowing you to spawn a coin with the same ID as the star and collect it with Yoshi. Oh, and that technique is used repeatedly throughout the run.

Well, I know what I'm watching tonight.

Miki DEV 100% takes about 1000000 years

ENCHANTMEN You think that’s a lot? The RNG manipulation to make the platforms in TTC form a pedrospot would take so long, the earth would be long gone before we could do it, even if you were speeding up the game. If this strategy was possible (it obviously isn’t, seeing how long it takes) you would have to do it more than once.

Pouncing Pixels Aren't there only a limited number of RNG states? It's deterministic, so it eventually resets

oh, hi

A Satocord convention? On my TheZZAZZGlitch comments section? It's more likely than you think.

immersion? in MY videogame? less likely than you think

Yes, immersion is the goal of this. I, too, like to arbitrary code execute my life so I can warp to work rather than walk. However, I'm not saving A presses so it only takes me 12 minutes.

"An A press is an A press, you can't say it's only a half" -TJ """"""Henry"""""" Yoshi

I agree with this in spirit - as a ROM hacker (gen 3 only tho) I like seeingnthe in depth stuff but as a fan of the franchise, I prefer to see actual gameplay - for me the strategy I like to see is more about the actual battles, which there isnt a whole lot of in older generation glitch runs

Depends on the game. I prefer glitchless for like doom eternal but stuff like this is more interesting than watching turn based gameplay

Yeah, I was always confused by that glitch. It seemed like you should be able to at least FORCE the game to recognize the 3 letter name and just... not let you use it.

I'm really interested now too. My best guess without seeing any code is this: The DS uses a 32-bit word size and data is moved in chunks of 4 bytes each. A name with three characters or less would fit into a single word, including the string terminator. Perhaps the routine which loads the save name looks for the terminator starting from the second word, and never finds it.

Did what part tho lol

Yes.

Somewhere in the world, that server is still throwing all it's resources at replicating it...

Or maybe not, I don't know. Let's wait for an official response.

Bump #2. I WANNA KNOW

Ichi Sumeragi I think that's not possible with the invalid map script, but I'm not sure.

Invalid map script $06 falls into an infinite loop of attempting to display a glitch textbox. Because the map script is responsible for detecting trainer encounters, trainers will no longer notice the player when invalid map script $06 is in effect.

Ah alright, makes sense. Thanks for both your answers !

Can't you lose by manipulating perfect enemy DVs?

Ah, I got things backwards didn't I. The goal is to lose in 3 turns, not win? That feels even more viable. (IIRC, all enemy trainers have the same DVs, though, so no manipulation can be done.)

Yeah, trainer DVs are hardcoded based on trainer class. Only wild pokemon have randomized DVs.

wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red/Blue/Yellow_Trainer_AI Trainer Pokémon have $9888 DVs (the 9 is so that the HP DV, which is calculated from the other four depending on their even/odd-ness, will be 8 and not 0) and 0 in all EVs (it doesn't depend on trainer class), so the same Pokémon will always have the same stats-a trainer's level 5 Squirtle will have 20HP, 10 Attack, 12 Defense, 10 Speed, and 10 Special. A level 5 Charmander with $34C9 DVs and 0 in all EVs (as in this video) will have 19HP, 10 Attack, 9 Defense, 12 Speed, and 10 Special. All attacks used in the rival fight are physical attacks, so 10/9 (for enemy attacks) and 10/12 (for player attacks) will be used. Squirtle's Tackle deals 5 damage if maximized without getting a crit, and 6 damage if maximized _with_ a critical. (Yeah, crit mechanics suck in this game.) Three of these will leave your Charmander with 1HP left, so a 3HKO isn't possible. The $1024 Squirtle from the 69x A press video has 20HP, 9 Attack, 11 Defense, 9 Speed, and 10 Special, while a $0000 Squirtle (if you got _that_ unlucky or something) has 19HP, 9 Attack, 11 Defense, 9 Speed, and 10 Special. A $FFFF Squirtle (maxed-out stats for when you just got it) has 20HP, 11 Attack, 13 Defense, 10 Speed, and 11 Special. 20 10 12 10 10 - $9888 Squirtle (all trainer L5 Squirtles). 20 09 11 09 10 - $1024 Squirtle (69x video). 19 09 11 09 10 - $0000 Squirtle (the $1024 Squirtle at least had a good HP DV of 8). 20 11 13 10 11 - $FFFF Squirtle (maxed-out stats). Your Charmander starts off with Scratch and Growl when you get it, and these moves have 35 and 40 PP. As move PP comes immediately after DVs, you'll necessarily get `inc hl` and `jr z, wBoxMon1PP+3` (a relative jump to the same place execution would continue if it hadn't jumped, how useful), which then moves on into data on your second box Pokémon (which doesn't exist, making it all zero or all $FF, and I can't be bothered to figure it out right now, but $FF would lead to the rst $38 crash, so I'll assume it's zero and move on), and then your third through 20th, then getting to box Pokémon OT names. Let's go through these: RED - sub a,c | add a,h | add a,e | ld d,b | ... ASH - add a,b | sub a,d | add a,a | ld d,b | ... JACK - adc a,c | add a,b | add a,d | adc a,d BLUE - [...more arithmetic register operations and ld d,b] GARY - add a,(hl) | [...more of those] JOHN - adc a,c | adc a,(hl) | [...more of those] And then, partway through the 20th box Pokémon's OT name, we get to OAM, which is subject to locking and will very probably have an $FF somewhere that will crash the game.

Nope, just saving data/lazy coding Inc (register) is 1 byte ld (register), ($xxxx) is more.

he's BLUE, not RED. if he was playing Pokemon Red, it would be RED

Absolutely correct, my bad! I forgot and thought they were both named RED since you can find and battle RED in later games - assumed he was the only one xD

The player of Pokemon Red is the rival of Pokemon Blue, and vice versa.

No. Getting a Pokemon that way makes the trainer unable to battle you in the future.
