Update alerts | Exclude type?
Continuity: In every gym there is a statue that lists the names of all the people who have won there. The only names that appear are the player character's and their rival's, but when you go to the elite four there are all these other trainers. How did they get past the guards when they don't have any badges?
Factual error: Go to Cinnabar Island and go to the lab. There are people there who wants to trade Pokemon. Talk to one of them who wants a Raichu. Have a Raichu with you, and trade. After all the trading animation, talk to the man again. He'll say "The Raichu you traded to me went and evolved!". However, in fact, Raichu doesn't evolve into anything.
Other: Being in any route or cave, and then flying or transporting to Cinnabar Island will make the Pokemon of that route and cave appear in Cinnabar's eastern coast, even though they're not water Pokemon and of course don't belong there. This can apply to Safari Zone's Pokemon also, that is, you can go to the Safari Zone, waste your steps there, fly to Cinnabar Island, surf in the coast, and you'll find the Zone's Pokemon there, which can be caught normally, and not with the methods of the Safari Zone (rock, bait).
Glitch: At the beginning of the game there's a girl near your house that says she's raising Pokemon too. If you push her to the northern exit of the town, and attempt to exit it, Oak will come and will take to to his lab. Only that this time, because of the girl, you won't be able to follow him correctly and you'll trespass some buildings until finally becoming stuck in his lab's wall.
Glitch: Depending on your name, when making the MissingNo. glitch, you'll find some weird Pokemon in the coast, which can be Mewtwo, Golduck and so on. These Pokemon are not supposed to be there. Also, their levels can exceed the maximum of 100. For example, with the name RED, you can find a 132 leveled Mewtwo.
Factual error: In Cerulean City, there's a man that will trade your Poliwhirl for a Jynx. After trading, he'll say "The POLIWHIRL you traded to me went and evolved!". He may be referring that the trade evolved his Poliwhirl. While there are Pokémon that evolve via trading, Poliwhirl does not. This is a translation mistake from the Japanese Red/Green version, using the Japanese Blue text.
Glitch: After the S.S. Anne is gone, go to the guard that says that the ship is gone. After facing him, keep pressing right and then quickly push the START button. Save and reset. If everything's OK, you should continue facing right. Select a Pokémon that knows SURF and use this move. Instead of surfing to the right, you'll surf ON the guard! Press down twice, and you'll enter the S.S. Anne again.
Other: Go to the item list, and select any HM. Attempt to use it in a Pokemon. Before you do, the text below will say "Use TM in which Pokemon?". However, you are attempting to use a HM, not a TM, in a Pokemon.
Continuity: If you come to Pallet from the south, that is, surfing, you can see that the fat man near the lab will appear out of nowhere when you enter the town.
Other: Before winning the League, go to the man that doesn't let you enter to the Unknown Dungeon (Cerulean Cave). Go some steps to the left until you exit the city. Now look, that man has disappeared. If you return to the city, the man's there again.
Audio problem: When your Pokemon is low on health it makes a beeping noise. This noise can interfere with Pokemon cries and attack noises (i.e. Kadabra's cry sounds like Ghastly's cry).
Other: Marowak's ghost is supposed to be avoided only with the Silph Scope. However if you use a Poke doll in his battle it'll escape and you can proceed the game. This makes no sense whatsoever, because if you do that and advance through the game, you'll find Giovainni with strong Pokemon, but if you go later to get the Silph Scope, Giovainni will be there with weaker Pokemon. Big part of the game can be skipped with this glitch.
Other: Get a Pokémon with a Special of 21, and with a move that increases its Attack (as Swords Dance, TM03). Now do the Mew glitch, that is, fly or somehow escape at the same time one trainer sees you by scrolling the screen. Fight with any trainer, then go to Route 13, 14, 15 or 16 and search for a Ditto. Let the Ditto transform into your Pokemon with Special of 21. Now, wait for it to use the move that will increase its attack. It has to use it at least three times. Return to the route where you escaped the trainer. The menu will pop-up, exit and you'll encounter a Mew, however, it will be at least in level 10, and it will know TRANSFORM. Let it transform any of your Pokémon. Then catch it. The game will say you caught a Ditto, not a Mew. The Mew will be gone forever, and instead the Pokémon will be a Ditto.
Other: Go to the Day-Care Man. When he asks you if you want him to care a Pokemon for you, answer NO. He'll say "come again." However, since it is the start of a sentence, it should say "Come" with a capital "C". This happens because "come again" is a shared text, so when you answer YES and put CANCEL, he'll say "All right then, come again." So that's where that text comes from, however, it is still a mistake.
Glitch: Go to the hotel in Celadon City. Enter the building and go all right, then go up so you leave a space between you and the little wall. Then press the A button. The menu of a PC will pop-up, as if an invisible PC were there.
Glitch: Go to Pallet Town, and go to the northern exit. Cut the grass there with the CUT HM. Enter Route 1 and return to Pallet Town. You'll see, by the sprite of your character, that you're in an invisible grass.
Glitch: Go to the Safari Zone and enter. Return to the entrance and when they ask you if you want to exit answer NO. Return to the Safari Zone and save, then reset. After loading the file, return to the entrance and they'll ask you to enter the Safari Zone, even though you're already there. Answer NO and leave. Fly to Cinnabar Island and surf in the route that's on the right of the island. After a lot of steps, a ding-dong will appear, returning you to the entrance of Safari Zone with no explanation. Exit, and you'll find yourself in a totally glitch city. The only way to get out of this city is to FLY, so take a Pokemon with this move when performing this glitch.
Glitch: Do the MissingNo. glitch and then go to a PC in any Pokemon Center, and select "Pokemon League" in the menu to enter the Hall of Fame (you must have won the League already). When you enter, you'll notice that everything is screwed up, the graphics are just boxes full of graphic glitches, and many weird sounds can be heard. The game may become slow after this.
Glitch: For this glitch, you must have a Pokemon that knows the SURF HM, and if you like, a Pokemon that knows the FLY HM. Go to the old man in Viridian City that shows you how to catch Pokemon. When he asks you if you're in a hurry, answer NO. He'll show you how to catch Pokemon with a Weedle as an example. Go immediately to Cinnabar Island (it's better if you fly). Then surf up and down in the coast that's on the right of the island. After some strange Pokemon appear, a weird one, called MissingNo., will appear, which consists of pure blocks of graphics with no sense. Catching this glitch Pokemon can wreck your saved game. If you make it faint, or just run, you'll have your item in the 6th position 139 times.
Glitch: For this glitch, advance through the game until you get the FLY HM and get a Pokemon that can learn how to fly. Also, do not fight the trainer in the Cape that only has a Slowpoke, nor the trainer that is looking up outside the Underground Path (right entrance). Go to this entrance of the Underground Path and face down. Press down and immediately press Start. You'll be in the trainer's sighting, but he won't react to this. Go to Pokemon, choose the Pokemon that knows how to Fly and fly to Cerulean City. The trainer will now notice you, but you'll fly away. In Cerulean City, the Start menu won't work. Now go to the Cape and let the Slowpoke trainer see you and walk to you. Defeat his Slowpoke and the Start menu will work again. Fly to Lavender town, and go to the route that heads to the left. When you enter the route, the Start button will pop up for no reason. Press B, and a wild Pokemon animation will show up. From nowhere, a Mew, an impossible-to-get Pokemon, will want to fight with you.
