2nd Gen Why does 'M save the game?

[SMGKururu]

I like to play the original pokemon games through PKMN Stadium 2. It tells me when the game is saving (Which helps for cloning in G/S, 'cuz I can see the gap between the save processes) and it says saving whenever 'M appears. it doesn't say this for normal pokemon. Any ideas as to why?

It does this because 'M is an abnormal Pokémon that causes abnormal code to be run on encounter. This is also why the hall of fame will still be corrupted even if you don't save after an encounter.

Du

M' is the gap between game and the mess for save and pokedex and map info it is all the game data pushed in to a gap of a route and a town. In pokemon yellow it in the side of route one the only way to get to it is a cheat. so wen messing around with M' remember it is the link from your game and save and once damage no way to fix it. So go luck.
