Prerequisites:
Any Pokemon that knows SURF.
This bug allows you to SURF on any tile (irregardless of tile type or presence of any sprites occupying that spot) one square below your position provided you are adjacent to any water tile you can use SURF on. For example, if your position is represented by "@", land tiles by ".", walls/barriers by "#", and water tiles by "=", "_" marks the position you can SURF into:
=
=@=
_
Water tiles can be on any non-diagonal adjacent square, as indicated by the "="s in the above diagram.
To use this bug, begin by walking toward the water tile. In this example, the character is walking toward the right:
@......=
.......=
When your character is walking from the second-closest tile to the water tile:
.....@.=
.......=
...and is about to enter the closest tile:
......@=
.......=
...press and hold START. The menu should appear just as you reach the land tile. SAVE the game and reset (turn off and on) the Game Boy. CONTINUE your game. If performed correctly, your character should start out facing the direction you were walking (and not the standard down direction). (If not, repeat the above steps.) DO NOT MOVE. Use SURF. Your character should then SURF onto the tile south of your location:
.......=
......@=
Alternately, if there is no room to walk, hold down the direction of the water tile (in this example, up):
===
.@.
###
...and press START when your character's feet are not side-by-side (when he is taking a "step"). The rest of the instructions can then be followed.
Unfortunately, this bug cannot be used in reverse. You cannot begin while SURFing and wind up walking because the game is smart enough to disembark in the correct direction.
This appears to work only on Pokemon Red/Blue. Gold/Silver versions seem to be fixed, and Yellow/Crystal versions have not yet been tested.
Uses:
- Reboard the S.S. Anne!
Make your way to the dock, to the tile diagonally adjacent to the guard (represented by "t"):
==========
====......
====......
====..====
====@.====
==##.t##==
####..####
====..====
====..====
Walk one step to the right, holding START:
==========
===.......
===......t
===..=====
===.@=====
=##.t##===
###..#####
===..=====
===..=====
SAVE the game, reset, and CONTINUE. Use SURF. Your character will SURF through the guard:
===.......
===......t
===..=====
===..=====
=##.@##===
###..#####
===..=====
===..=====
===..=====
Press down to reach the dock area behind the guard. Welcome aboard!
(Another area where you can SURF through people: Cerulean Gym has a swimmer at the right side of the pool. No special preparation is needed there!)
You can use this opportunity to SURF to the corners of the S.S. Anne screen.
- Reach the land area next to BILL's house.
WARNING! It is strongly recommended that you bring a Pokemon that knows FLY or TELEPORT. If you SAVE after reaching that land area without one, you will have to faint off your Pokemon in order to escape! (You'll waste a good chunk of time and half your money, especially if you didn't bring any fishing RODs.)
Begin south of BILL's house, sandwiched at some point between the barriers and the pond:
....======
....======
####======
....======
##..@.....
##########
##========
##========
##========
Hold up, press START, and SAVE. Reset and CONTINUE - you should start facing up. Use SURF to move through the barrier:
....======
####======
....======
##........
####@#####
##========
##========
##========
##========
...and press down to reach the pond to the south. SURF around to the right and up. You will reach a small strip of land to leads up to BILL's house. Photo op!
Ih Yeah, And There's The One Where U Can Stand On A Bush.
First, go to a bush and cut it down. Stand in the area where the bush was and save. Turn the game off and back on, continue your game, and you will start out inside a bush.
Go into the Pok?mon Tower in Lavender Town without the Silph Scope and wander around until you run into a ghost. The game will tell you that the ghost couldn't be ID'd (what it normally says when you encounter a ghost without the Silph Scope). Now, select PKMN on the Battle Menu, but instead of switching Pok?mon, just look at one's stats, then cancel. Go back to the battle screen and you'll be able to see the ghost even though you don't have the Silph Scope! You won't be able to attack it, though.
one more glitch:
Go to cycling road from Celadon City and go the the left border with the trees behind the stone pillars. Go down the hill for about 1 second and go back up. The trees, up to behind the guy two spaces away from the border, will have turned into water! Go back down(or to the right and back left) and there will be trees again! Note: this only works between two points: the biker specified above and a pillar to the right, the last one before going futher right to border the lake.
Hope I Helped!
