Since simply being able to step on anything versus being just strong enough to get by wont let you get cheesed by things like random stat drops, misses, or critical hits.

Man, who is doing EVERY possible action at EVERY point in the game to discover this by specifically buying 81 Harbor mail!?

@DJFracus Год назад

They aren't. They do something called planning. For one thing, you know you need at least 65 Harbor mail for the 65 Rare Candies that Tentacruel needs to get to level 100. They didn't discover this by buying 81 Harbor Mail, they discovered it by seeing that using Thief on Mail leads to a memory error (data where it shouldn't be). After that you use your brain.

@jonstewart5525 Год назад

It’s likely a stack smashing or readpass memory error. Once you’re looking at the memory you can find them if you know what you’re doing. From there you can find which parts of memory actions would write into then start identifying what memory you want written where. It’s a hack in the most true sense of the word.

@BluMagma7 Год назад

The specific amount of mail really doesn't matter too much, we just need a lot to make all the rare candies. But the action of equipping mail and thiefing it was definitely very crazy!

The sad thing about tentacruel is that it was originally designed to be a monster In Gen1 it's the water pokemon with the highest Spe Atk, and he also has a great speed. And for the adventure the poison type is a great comfort as it resist a lot of opponent and poison. Only two weakness : weak to the overpowered (in gen1) psy type, and slow growth rate meaning very slow to train so an other incentive to ignore him. Beside tentacool being the zubat of water. Then in Gen2, special was split and he lost 35 SpA without any benefit. That's a crazy nerf..

The discovery of the glitch on the English version, figuring out the version differences, and the Tentacool strat were all brand new and really exciting though!

@evilduck5691 Год назад

If I'm understanding correctly and thieving the mail is writing to the memory just outside of the memory normally allocated to mail, and so you can only change the tiles which happen to be within that extra memory - then could you thief multiple pieces of mail to access more memory and potentially gain access to the waterfall, or is that not how it works? Awesome work, by the way. Glitches like this are the pinnacle of what makes speedrunning so awesome. It's great to see some more weirdness added to the run

@BluMagma7 Год назад

@evilduck5691 That's what I hoped would happen at first; unfortunately the technical details behind the glitch prevent that. Normally the game determines the section of memory based on each Pokemon's 'mail slot', which is usually 0 through 5, or 255 when it isn't holding a mail. When we activate the glitch, we can equip a mail but keep the value of 255 for the mail slot. If we could change this value from 255 to anything else, we could corrupt basically any tiles we want! But there's currently no known way to do this.

You can change the Thief users held item if you want to clone something else, basically youre trading mail for the cloned item

Other than that, there's the Jr&Sr pairs that can be rematched via the Trainer Eyes system. If you do any breeding, there's a set just south of the Daycare who you can check every few passes. There's another set west of Fallarbor and one by the Safari Zone, though I don't think they reset. I think there's also a set of Twins that you can rematch, though I don't remember which ones it is.

My point was that Gen 5 doesn't have world-altering glitches nor memory editing, and its engine's performance is perfectly stable, unlike the following games. Therefore, Game Freak devs have always been hilarious bad with programming since the beginning, peaked in Gen 5, then went downhill again. That's all there is to it. Doesn't make the games bad or anything. Do people think all Bethesda games are bad, after all?

So, what happens when you spawn grass/water in areas without such, and force an encounter? Which encounter table is used? Are things random? Can we get missingno?

@BluMagma7 Год назад

Good question! Unfortunately, each area is coded with its own set of encounter tables for grass, water, etc. If there is no encounter table for an area, you'll just never get an encounter. One cool way to abuse this, though, is to spawn a grass tile on Route 118 before you can surf. That will give you grass encounters that would normally only be accessible after Surf. Additionally, there is actually a way to battle a "missingno" style pokemon, but it's a trainer battle so you can't catch it :(

I cant believe the fastest way to beat the game is to teach your Abra to commit a felony lmao

lol not the first time Tentacruel has been used for speedrunning. Many of us LOL'd when we saw Double Battle with two Tentacruel's in a speedrun and saw some domination

Wow, this is insane. Cant wait for the cool things that can come out of this.

Good to know that the speedrunning community blew a game I couldn't beat at six wide open. Maybe it's time for me to pick it up, and try some of these tricks in honor of poor, six year old me.

No one's talking about how they made Abra a missigno spiritual successor

Can't wait for them to corrupt one of the times and turn it into the entrance to the champion's room somehow.

Its always fun to discover new glitches. It looks very game breaking to. We will see if its more game breaking than the pomeg berry glitch in time.

Now everyone wants to do this but not many will sit through the trials and errors of the RNG manipulations.

Got to appreciate the craziness & absurdity of speed running

Do you think I could use this late into my regular playthrough to skip grinding?

@BluMagma7 Год назад

As long as you follow the setup in the video, yes! It doesn't have to be specific pokemon either, just something that can learn Thief (Covet works too)
