I used your last video to setup ace in my fire red and good lord you have put in WORK to make this easy to access and understand. Makes the gen 3 hyperfixation hit just right.
these are so educational and easy to understand. i have never even executed any of these glitches, or even played these pokemon games in years, but i love the way they work and just listening along. Thank you for putting in so much time and effort especially all the contributions to these apps and programs.
My contribution on the programming side is relatively minor, I'm only now learning how to really get into the more difficult stuff. All respect due to the really talented folks who made things user friendly enough for me to explain!
Going through this, it does strike me that there is so much more you can do with the glitches because the developers put so much love (so many mechanics) into the game. Like being able to use the daycare man to directly manipulate the xp, mail, items, tms, static encounters. Like if they don't put enough mechanics, then the manipulation also becomes more grueling and boring.
@@DGice2 yeah its honestly a beautiful accident that all of this works like it does. The mail glitch actually works in Emerald too, but the data doesn't line up the right way to duplicate this method. Instead of falling right at the start of Box 3 Slot 1, it's in the middle of the Pokemons data in Box 2 Slot 27, and any edits you make just brick the pokemon.
Sounds so much like an urban legend. No really if you beat the elite 4 13 times with magikarp you can fight professor oak for celebi i swear. What are the odds the actual cracked glitches turn out to be just like that
@@nobodyimportant4778 I deal blackjack for a living, if there’s anything that’s most probable, it’s the most unexpected absurd shocking outcome in the midst of a dull streak. I’d say the comedy glitches being real would be the best outcome! A bunch of aliens living amongst us who can perceive things differently trying to tell us about the glitches 👀
This is terrifying from a pokemon perspective. I thought you were going to turn them into shiny pokemon, but instead transmuted their entire body into something they aren't. Nervous system transplant.
This video makes me wanna learn FRLG glitches. Ive always been a huge poke fan and knew games could be speedran or exploited but the most ive ever done is trainer fly to complete the dex in Yellow
amazingly detailed video, but the biggest 'FU' to me was finding out that these will not be legal until given Pokeblocks which requires trading... i have both FireRed and Emerald, but only 1 ds lite, no gbas and no link cable... guess i gotta get on that then.
You could always use an R4 with the DS Lite to extract your save data, and then move the pokemon over manually. There's a DS homebrew app called "GBA Backup Tool" that can take GBA saves and put them on the SD Card. Could even connect 2 copies of mGBA and do the actual trading, if using PkHex isn't your style. Cheaper than buying 2 systems and a link cable.
This is Gordon Ramsey level of cooking folks. Watched it once to (try and) take it all in. Will probably watch a few more times to do the fun stuff. Excellent work as always Jefe :D
The stuff people like you find is crazy. I'm absolutely stunned as to of all people like you don't have more status in the pokemon community seeing the amount of work you guys put behind this lol. I'm in college still for computer science and seeing stuff like this makes me laugh like an idiot. Appreciate the content.
To be fair, the intro is very high effort relative to the rest. It would have been very hard to keep up that quality while explaining so many different things in detail/interacting with the spreadsheet etc... But I hope you watch the whole thing! 😊
Hopefully this video gets time segments like the previous as I completed the steps in the previous on an official leafgreen 1.0 english cartridge last time already
@@PapaJefeYTis it normal for codes to spawn invisible bad eggs ocasionally in box 13? and rarely even visible bad eggs(the duplication and reverse duplication helped deal with them thankfully)
@@HHHjb_ Make sure you always use Yellow Hand when interacting with the ACE glitch mon, that seems to be the main source of when I get the bad eggs in Box 13. But yeah they are pretty harmless, just a few bits getting flipped that can be easily removed via Yellow Hand Multi-Selecting them, or releasing (depending on the bits)

BRUH, really though, how did it take them like ~6 (at least?) years to make MAIL not be broken?? I mean, aside that there was no reason for them to care about it, because none of us did...
Is there a ace code for resetting move tutors? I like breeding my teams normally and having a code like that would save me from having to use hack roms with infinite tutors
There's not one yet, but that's not impossible. I believe Emerald has a code like that already, just a matter of finding the right RAM addresses. I'll put this on my list of things to look into. The other one we're looking at is forcing Pokemon to evolve, so we can bypass trade/happiness evos. Still lots to do!
its fun to watch this video as someone who has no pokemon glitching experience besides fucking around with an action replay in heartgold. that spreadsheet may as well be a digital devil summoning program to me. you are doing actual magic, and i can only watch and try to absorb whatever glimmers of insight i can from the work of a great mage
I love watching Pokémon speed runs, or any speed runs tbh, because of the glitches. But this honestly takes “glitches” to a whole new category. I loved watching all of the 1+ hour video. Definitely earned a subscriber with this super well put together video. Stay awesome friend!
I just love the phrase "unencrypting pokemon". It's amazing. "We turned fireblast into a glitched item" and "using this berry we can put sketch onto any pokemon" is just so crazy. Also, in spite of how incredibly crazy and fun this is, it reminds me that the overwhelming majority of competitive players just cheat their pokemon in. Or at the very least, they use Pokemon showdown, which doesn't require an hour of setup to build a basic team to test things out.
Thank you for providing this information for everybody to see. It's opened up a whole new world for me, and I am looking forward to learning the ins and outs of everything as I go along. That said, I do have a question about RNG seed calibration. My Trainer ID and Secret ID in my copy of Pokemon FireRed do not allow me to follow along exactly with what you're doing, though I am following everything as closely as I can. I have a set of 6IVs with HP Dark that I'm trying to create on the Eevee in Celadon City. When I calculated everything needed, the code I got is as follows: "sound = mono, l = lr, button = a, select = yes." I have been fussing around with this for hours at this point, and while I've gotten plenty of close matches, none have matched what I need 1:1; it's usually the select part of the code that is messed up. I've even tried to look up what "select = yes" means, but haven't found any good answers. I know in the video you kind of mentioned that it was something about button pressing, but that doesn't really help me overcome this hurdle. Could you clarify what I'm supposed to do with "select = yes?" That would help tremendously as I strive to create my own personal army of super Pokemon in my Gen 3 Pokemon games.
@@JamesBrown-m5t "select = yes" means you need to hold select through the entire boot up sequence and intro cutscene for the duration of your first timer, you'll keep it held all the way until you pass the title screen. Sorry I didn't include this info! Hopefully that helps you get a seed calibrated
this makes me insanely happy because i was hoping for these gba games to have some crazy ass glitches like the gbc one. Sure maybe its not the insane glitch city but i am beaming with delight that these also have their weird glitches
Haven't seen the video yet but it makes me so happy just to see fire red and leaf green brought up decades after their release. Makes me so proud to be a Pokémon fan
The interesting thing is, I don't think there is a way for modern Pokémon games to detect these manipulated and, effectively, genned Pokémon if they are used in tournaments. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I'm more interested in Event Pokémon being preserved with these type of exploits, without needing additional hardware or software.
This is somehow just as nice of a compliment as trying it out, because it means the video might reach a larger audience just for ambient Pokemon related longform watching.
@@PapaJefeYT i personally think these "legal" methods of generating pokemon are too tedious to do, but how they work under the hood and the effort that goes into optimising these methods are really interesting to hear about. keep it up
@oniondesu9633 yeah at this point I don't even need better methods, or more Pokemon. I just enjoy solving the puzzle and making it work. Glad you found it interesting!
Thank you very much for this video and the info! I had just followed your other video on how to get ACE on LG but I was not getting good results with the RNG manip... now with your advices on calibrating the tool and checking the seeds I can see light at end of tunnel! Hope now I can get 6IV Shiny Deoxys as I always wanted since I was a kid!
@ let’s go! Just food for thought as I was not having luck with RNG manip I saw there is a code in e shark for seed manipulation and teleport but it requires the glitch move on a Crobat to execute (Seipnir guide has a code for it but it’s for the other method of ACE, not grab ACE). I thought that maybe with the code you created for the clone glitch Pokémon you could also use it to create this Crobat with the glitch move. With that you can have both forms of ACE without needing an Emerald copy of the game. What do you think? Is it even possible? Thank you again!
@eLMCe we've definitely talked about finding a path from Mail Glitch ACE to Crobat ACE, but the route isn't solved yet. There's quite a bit of legwork involved in recreating all the Emerald stuff, but I think it can be done!
So when I did this, I got a generic setup to convert moves to pokemon. I did this using an abra that I got through arbitrary code execution, perfect in all stats and (somehow) legal. Here's the route I took to get there. (start) Abra (3 HP EVs) > Venusaur (89 HP Evs) > Muk (Acid Armor) > Mew Using mew it's possible to generate any pokemon through moves so long as you can teach (or glitch) a specific move onto it without breaking the IV's or met location. Thanks for introducing me to this, now I have a brand new playground of content in a 20 year old game.
@@camusthaking1124love to see someone fully grasping the material. Mew is definitely nice as long as your required move is a TM. Smeargle is a similar principle with Sketch, but let's you get some of the more hard-to-learn moves if needed. Don't forget about hidden power types! I've since acquired a few different "test subject" Pokemon with more hidden power types and optimal IVs. There's lots of fun to be had on this playground indeed.
Man I literally just bought a GB operator so I can finally unlock the events. I remember searching for glitches last year and not finding anything. This is awesome
you might have some issues running glitches in the GB operator emulator itself, but you can use the latest mGBA and I know for sure it all works there. Unless you also have a GBA/DS, in which case you're golden. Have fun!
@ hey thanks for the reply I have a GBA-SP and currently shiny hunting mewtwo but once that’s done I was planning on using the GB operator to unlock those events finally
Thanks for the explanation! It's so cool that I've spent almost all my free time during last week messing around with it. I was wondering if I can use experience values from exact levels for any pokemon or move. In order to do so, I've modified my version adding the growth rates to the data and creating a new sheet that shows which pokemon, item and move match with each of those experience values for each rate. I haven't spent much time checking it yet, but I think it could be useful. I've also added to the workshop the level calculation, an extra search field that shows which levels correspond to the value for all exp curves and a table that gets the origin data from the current pokemon. If you're interested, I can share it.
that sounds super helpful! You can join my discord and share your version, I'll add the improvements when I get the chance. Yeah you can use experience to arbitrarily get any Move/Item/Species, as long as its not a glitch move that crashes the game when you swap G->A to move it around.
@@PapaJefeYT Done! You can check it out whenever you want. In fact, all the growth rate stuff started because I was trying to get the M block to look like the following bytes: 0x0000 or 0x0010 0x2180 0xFFFF 0x3FFF 0x0000 0x0000 This is an invalid combination of EVs (you can't reach it through regular EV training), so I had to get creative. Move 0x3FFF is partially stable: I managed to switch it around with 3 moves (the other two were valid low-value moves, I believe they were Pound and Gust). But that's all, when I add a 4th move, the summary becomes unstable. On the other hand, I don't think the move 0xFFFF would be stable, so I think this way is a dead end. I haven't been able to apply the MailGlitch corruption for this so far. I finally managed to do it in a weird way with an ACE and it wasn't easier. But, I want to be able to do it with the MailGlich, so I'll keep trying and looking for other ways.
Finally catching a good video from the source of a glitch Hunter like this is so awesome!!! Good job and great work and content Bro!!! To you and all involved! ❤
I have a problem hitting my seeds. I found a good one with the ten lines, my settings are: sound='mono', l='lr', button='start', select='yes'. When I load the game, I hit start and select at the same time and hold them until I can select my safe file. But every seed I hit, select is checked with "no" instead of "yes". What do I do wrong?
Ohhh that's my bad! I didn't explain what "Select" meant exactly. If your seed has "select=yes" then you want to hold select through the entire boot sequence. that extra button being held through boot up is what slightly shifts the seed. You'd keep it held for the whole cutscene, and then add on the A/Start press and hold at the title screen when the beeps come.
@@PapaJefeYT Just out of curiosity, why exactly does holding Select change things? Did they code the seed selection to manually check if Select is held (and if so, increment it?) or is it more of an indirect effect? This stuff is very interesting to me so I'm just curious.
@@OldDistantHermitit's actually not coded specifically to have an effect. It's a side effect of how they pull the seed from a timer that's constantly running on the CPU. The timer is deterministic, but the CPU handles everything including inputs. Basically by holding the button, you make the CPU do ever so slightly that much more work, and so it changes the output. Sensitive but predictable if you do the right things
@@PapaJefeYT That's really cool. Thanks for the explanation, and love seeing the work you and everyone else is doing shown off in a way that makes sense for everyone :)
Is there a way to get to the more advanced parts of this without the RNG manips? I struggle with the timing due to a skill issue with my hands, and even when practicing on an "easy" manip like Eevee I never even seem to get close (using the bingo sheet method to track I never seem to get ON the sheet)
@@jerematic the absolute easiest way would be to use the "Create a Pokemon from Nothing" code but put in a non-glitch species. Pokemon generated that way are also unencrypted, and would been completely usable with the mail system. Because their TID/SID/PID are all just 0000 0000 Now they will be slightly more difficult to make competitive/legal, because you'll need to use corruption to tweak their IVs/Met Data. However if you just want to play around with the mail glitch, that's the easiest entry point.
@@PapaJefeYT Thank you for replying! So long as any pokemon created this way are able to PalPark to Gen 4 and be used in the battle frontier i don't mind about comp/legal You've done an amazing job with all of this!
Can’t wait to see something along these lines at a GDQ, and watch the runner jump through hoops trying to convince the audience they’re actually playing Pokémon and not doing any glitches.
First off I just want to say, thank you so much for making these. These tutorials are incredible, and are such good breakdowns for the setup process for this stuff. Genuinely revolutionary stuff going on in my childhood pokemon games, and I couldn't be more excited. One question I have though is there any way you can show how to set up Move ACE using grab ACE? I noticed that there are a bunch of Move ACE codes for FR/LG that haven't been converted to grab ACE, and some of them are extremely difficult to port because of the small differences of where things sit in RAM using each method (At PC vs in battle). I don't think anyone has made a tutorial for setting up move ACE from a single game now that we have grab ACE, and I'd be surprised if it wasn't doable now. I just figured that if we can have a resource showing how to set it up from grab ACE then even if some codes aren't able to be ported, we can at least keep the utility, and make them more accessible.
I think it's possible to bootstrap Move ACE from Grab ACE, but it will take some work. It's on my list of things to look into, but I'll likely need help from Sleipnir.
I absolutely have to try this sometime. Did ACE through item underflow in RBY and bad cloning in GSC to get 8F for legal Mew and Celebi egg respectively, so this is exciting for me
I have a feeling you might enjoy locomotives... but seriously youre a wizard i could never focus long enough to do this when i know i can just download a save file from someone who has the pokemon i want
This video has been instructive and enjoyable so far, thank you! Around 42:20, I notice the names of the boxes are being changed for the Fast Clone Glitch. But the prior step taught me the names of the boxes determine the TID & SID, which determine that shiny 6 IV Eevee. So, how does renaming the boxes not affect the TID & SID, and by extension, the would-be cloned Eevee?
@@amoinoacid you only have to change the box names and do the glitch pokemon swap once, and the TID SID change is permanently applied to your save. After that you can enter new codes.
I've loosely followed R/G/B/Y, G/S/C, and R/S/E glitches for several years now, but NEVER would I have thought FR/LG could be cracked open like this! YES! MORE GLITCHES!!! I've always adored Pokemon glitches this RULES
Not always. Encryption key takes in the full PID and the SID and TID combined, so order matters. For example: FFFF0000 xor 0000FFFF would yield an encryption key of FFFFFFFF But for shinies, it only takes each half the PID and the TID/SID separately. FFFF xor 0000 xor 0000 xor FFFF = 0 Which is a square shiny, but would not be unencrypted.
@PapaJefeYT oooooh ok thank you, i was actually about to try this and had gotten to the point of rng maniping the eevee and wouldve wasted a decent amount of time messing with it
this is fucking awesome i love how the wierd anticheat thing of splitting up the pokemon's data and shuffling it around just created more ways to effectively cheat in pokemon without even using external tools as someone who rlly wants to get into coding and game development, getting to see how a games mechanics work internally, and how they can be broken through glitches is always so cool to see
I don't want to detract from how great this comment is, just really wonderful stuff. But your little icon + the name coolbugfacts3953 is just spectacular.
That was almost as convoluted a crafting system as Path of Exile. I like Path of Exile. I also like Pokemon Gen 1-4... ... I need to see actual gameplay of this team though =)

Shayy.... I remember you're pokemon ACE manipulations
I can't make my bed jokes because youtube keeps deleting my fucking comments my rage is becoming a tangible outline of myself that is threatening to peel off and clone me so we can seethe together

Now I have to hope I remember this comment by the time I finish this video so I can understand the joke

@@KillerSkullX look again
I used your last video to setup ace in my fire red and good lord you have put in WORK to make this easy to access and understand. Makes the gen 3 hyperfixation hit just right.
The hydro pumps might miss but this video fucking hits
If only Focus Miss was in this game
That moment that sketch became duran berry I felt my mind unlock. You can basically turn anything into an item. So sick!
The ACE stuff is cool and all, but props for the mad SPREADSHEET Skills. That's the true test of knowledge, talent and patience
these are so educational and easy to understand. i have never even executed any of these glitches, or even played these pokemon games in years, but i love the way they work and just listening along. Thank you for putting in so much time and effort especially all the contributions to these apps and programs.
My contribution on the programming side is relatively minor, I'm only now learning how to really get into the more difficult stuff. All respect due to the really talented folks who made things user friendly enough for me to explain!
Props to the guy who made that spreadsheet looks clean and awesome
That was me 😊
Rip to the poor Eevees that got yeeted at 45:40 lmao
Love how the glitch species is just a soad song
Going through this, it does strike me that there is so much more you can do with the glitches because the developers put so much love (so many mechanics) into the game. Like being able to use the daycare man to directly manipulate the xp, mail, items, tms, static encounters. Like if they don't put enough mechanics, then the manipulation also becomes more grueling and boring.
@@DGice2 yeah its honestly a beautiful accident that all of this works like it does. The mail glitch actually works in Emerald too, but the data doesn't line up the right way to duplicate this method. Instead of falling right at the start of Box 3 Slot 1, it's in the middle of the Pokemons data in Box 2 Slot 27, and any edits you make just brick the pokemon.
notes on the intro look like sum left by the zodiac killer - you are truly a mad man
Sounds so much like an urban legend. No really if you beat the elite 4 13 times with magikarp you can fight professor oak for celebi i swear.
What are the odds the actual cracked glitches turn out to be just like that
@@nobodyimportant4778 I deal blackjack for a living, if there’s anything that’s most probable, it’s the most unexpected absurd shocking outcome in the midst of a dull streak.
I’d say the comedy glitches being real would be the best outcome! A bunch of aliens living amongst us who can perceive things differently trying to tell us about the glitches 👀
i guess mail ain't useless anymore
This is terrifying from a pokemon perspective. I thought you were going to turn them into shiny pokemon, but instead transmuted their entire body into something they aren't. Nervous system transplant.
Your background lay out is the best thing I’ve seen all year
This video makes me wanna learn FRLG glitches. Ive always been a huge poke fan and knew games could be speedran or exploited but the most ive ever done is trainer fly to complete the dex in Yellow
THANK YOU. I kept doing it correctly in FireRed and got thrown off by the slash in the name instead of the O.
1:22:15 Going back and adding all the PP maxes before calling them totally complete... but leaving them all at level 99.
I wasn't sure if the EVs were perfect yet 😅
"This guy looks to be really stable"
Move slot 2 shows nothing and slot 3 looks like it's dying🤣
I mean you saw what happens when it's NOT stable 🤣
Pretty crazy to think we can pretty much do ACE up to Gen 3.
ACE has been possible in Gen 4 for a couple of years now.
RETIRE made a video about it. Tho I don't remember in which Gen 4 games it worked.
I only made a video on DP, but I have found RCE's and transfering ACE for all gen 4 games.
amazingly detailed video, but the biggest 'FU' to me was finding out that these will not be legal until given Pokeblocks which requires trading...
i have both FireRed and Emerald, but only 1 ds lite, no gbas and no link cable... guess i gotta get on that then.
You could always use an R4 with the DS Lite to extract your save data, and then move the pokemon over manually. There's a DS homebrew app called "GBA Backup Tool" that can take GBA saves and put them on the SD Card. Could even connect 2 copies of mGBA and do the actual trading, if using PkHex isn't your style.
Cheaper than buying 2 systems and a link cable.
@@smolbrendan5978 just tagging you with the reply, because for some reason my phone tags but my browser doesn't lmao
I will say what Jefe said is doable, but sometimes you can find some gba sps for a cheap price at like yardsales, and a link cable should be cheap!
This is Gordon Ramsey level of cooking folks.
Watched it once to (try and) take it all in. Will probably watch a few more times to do the fun stuff.
Excellent work as always Jefe :D
The stuff people like you find is crazy. I'm absolutely stunned as to of all people like you don't have more status in the pokemon community seeing the amount of work you guys put behind this lol. I'm in college still for computer science and seeing stuff like this makes me laugh like an idiot. Appreciate the content.
There's not a chance that I would ever do this, but I absolutely love watching and learning about it
2 minutes in to the video and its already so good. cant wait to lock in to the next hour. love watching you and blisey
To be fair, the intro is very high effort relative to the rest. It would have been very hard to keep up that quality while explaining so many different things in detail/interacting with the spreadsheet etc... But I hope you watch the whole thing! 😊

@@PapaJefeYTis it normal for codes to spawn invisible bad eggs ocasionally in box 13? and rarely even visible bad eggs(the duplication and reverse duplication helped deal with them thankfully)
@@HHHjb_ Make sure you always use Yellow Hand when interacting with the ACE glitch mon, that seems to be the main source of when I get the bad eggs in Box 13. But yeah they are pretty harmless, just a few bits getting flipped that can be easily removed via Yellow Hand Multi-Selecting them, or releasing (depending on the bits)
0 hour gang rise up, Jefe dropped a banger
makes me so so happy to see new glitch discoveries like this, always thought frlg and platinum/hgss were untouchable... and now they BOTH have ace!!!!! here's to gen 5 (Haha)
The amount of work that went in to discovering and crafting these methods / tools is unreal.
Year ago was Emerald. Today is FrLg. Next year… can’t wait 😅
i had to rewatch the mail glitch setup because my mind was completely blown by the idea of just a photo of a gba as an overlay
I'm never going to use this stuff myself but I do always enjoy hearing you explain stuff. Also that GBA overlay is pretty funny lol
0:05 "And it's all because of...MAIL"
Me: "Wait, did I click on a video for Gen 3, or Gen 2? But ALSO WAIT; THE VIDEO CLIP IS FROM GEN 2, TOO??"
BRUH, really though, how did it take them like ~6 (at least?) years to make MAIL not be broken?? I mean, aside that there was no reason for them to care about it, because none of us did...
@@benjaminlaureys2603 and I love them for it.
Is there a ace code for resetting move tutors? I like breeding my teams normally and having a code like that would save me from having to use hack roms with infinite tutors
There's not one yet, but that's not impossible. I believe Emerald has a code like that already, just a matter of finding the right RAM addresses.
I'll put this on my list of things to look into. The other one we're looking at is forcing Pokemon to evolve, so we can bypass trade/happiness evos.
Still lots to do!
its fun to watch this video as someone who has no pokemon glitching experience besides fucking around with an action replay in heartgold. that spreadsheet may as well be a digital devil summoning program to me. you are doing actual magic, and i can only watch and try to absorb whatever glimmers of insight i can from the work of a great mage
you understood the true essence of the material
This is basically like learning assembler
I love watching Pokémon speed runs, or any speed runs tbh, because of the glitches. But this honestly takes “glitches” to a whole new category. I loved watching all of the 1+ hour video. Definitely earned a subscriber with this super well put together video. Stay awesome friend!
Using an Eevee when talking about EV's is needlessly confusing 😂
regardless, awesome video bro! really enjoyed it
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Papa Jefe!
Your dedication to glitches and RNG has inspired me greatly!
I just love the phrase "unencrypting pokemon". It's amazing. "We turned fireblast into a glitched item" and "using this berry we can put sketch onto any pokemon" is just so crazy.
Also, in spite of how incredibly crazy and fun this is, it reminds me that the overwhelming majority of competitive players just cheat their pokemon in. Or at the very least, they use Pokemon showdown, which doesn't require an hour of setup to build a basic team to test things out.
I only just realised towards the end that the title is a reference to Jimothy as well. Outstanding move, Father Jeférssen.
Thank you for explaining this very clearly. I was lost watching other videos on this.
This is my favorite content. Rng, glitches... The passion for both Pokémon and computers together ❤
Whats the song in the beginning? Been trying to figure out the name forever

We don’t deserve you, Papa Jefé
You're too kind
🔥🙌 We making it out the Lost Cave with this one… 🙌🔥
Thank you for providing this information for everybody to see. It's opened up a whole new world for me, and I am looking forward to learning the ins and outs of everything as I go along.
That said, I do have a question about RNG seed calibration. My Trainer ID and Secret ID in my copy of Pokemon FireRed do not allow me to follow along exactly with what you're doing, though I am following everything as closely as I can. I have a set of 6IVs with HP Dark that I'm trying to create on the Eevee in Celadon City. When I calculated everything needed, the code I got is as follows:
"sound = mono, l = lr, button = a, select = yes."
I have been fussing around with this for hours at this point, and while I've gotten plenty of close matches, none have matched what I need 1:1; it's usually the select part of the code that is messed up. I've even tried to look up what "select = yes" means, but haven't found any good answers. I know in the video you kind of mentioned that it was something about button pressing, but that doesn't really help me overcome this hurdle. Could you clarify what I'm supposed to do with "select = yes?" That would help tremendously as I strive to create my own personal army of super Pokemon in my Gen 3 Pokemon games.
@@JamesBrown-m5t "select = yes" means you need to hold select through the entire boot up sequence and intro cutscene for the duration of your first timer, you'll keep it held all the way until you pass the title screen.
Sorry I didn't include this info! Hopefully that helps you get a seed calibrated
Love you and your content man! Messing with memory editing isso fun when you know what you're doing haha
this makes me insanely happy because i was hoping for these gba games to have some crazy ass glitches like the gbc one. Sure maybe its not the insane glitch city but i am beaming with delight that these also have their weird glitches
FANTASTIC WORK!! I adore this community, this will be so fun to play around with!! Thank you for this guide!
You dropped this at the perfect time. Just finished work :D.
Great video, thank you!
Came for the mail glitch, subbed for the amazing content
i am so thankful for you

I feel like you’d be that really fun uncle who understands all the nerdy stuff I like lol
Haven't seen the video yet but it makes me so happy just to see fire red and leaf green brought up decades after their release. Makes me so proud to be a Pokémon fan
It's amazing the things that Pokemon fans will discover for a glitch. This is incredible
The interesting thing is, I don't think there is a way for modern Pokémon games to detect these manipulated and, effectively, genned Pokémon if they are used in tournaments. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I'm more interested in Event Pokémon being preserved with these type of exploits, without needing additional hardware or software.
Been following these glitches in gen 3 and it reignited my love for these games (also nice intro with the tower of god soundtrack)
Oh no it's actually Area Zero Theme from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
no chance i'll ever do any of this, but you have a pretty good yapping voice to listen to in the background whilst i code
This is somehow just as nice of a compliment as trying it out, because it means the video might reach a larger audience just for ambient Pokemon related longform watching.
@@PapaJefeYT i personally think these "legal" methods of generating pokemon are too tedious to do, but how they work under the hood and the effort that goes into optimising these methods are really interesting to hear about. keep it up
@oniondesu9633 yeah at this point I don't even need better methods, or more Pokemon. I just enjoy solving the puzzle and making it work. Glad you found it interesting!
Thank you very much for this video and the info! I had just followed your other video on how to get ACE on LG but I was not getting good results with the RNG manip... now with your advices on calibrating the tool and checking the seeds I can see light at end of tunnel! Hope now I can get 6IV Shiny Deoxys as I always wanted since I was a kid!
You can do it! I believe! 💪
@ let’s go! Just food for thought as I was not having luck with RNG manip I saw there is a code in e shark for seed manipulation and teleport but it requires the glitch move on a Crobat to execute (Seipnir guide has a code for it but it’s for the other method of ACE, not grab ACE). I thought that maybe with the code you created for the clone glitch Pokémon you could also use it to create this Crobat with the glitch move. With that you can have both forms of ACE without needing an Emerald copy of the game. What do you think? Is it even possible? Thank you again!
@eLMCe we've definitely talked about finding a path from Mail Glitch ACE to Crobat ACE, but the route isn't solved yet. There's quite a bit of legwork involved in recreating all the Emerald stuff, but I think it can be done!
@ Nice! Hope you guys find it! I believe! 💪🏻
So when I did this, I got a generic setup to convert moves to pokemon. I did this using an abra that I got through arbitrary code execution, perfect in all stats and (somehow) legal. Here's the route I took to get there.
(start) Abra (3 HP EVs) > Venusaur (89 HP Evs) > Muk (Acid Armor) > Mew
Using mew it's possible to generate any pokemon through moves so long as you can teach (or glitch) a specific move onto it without breaking the IV's or met location. Thanks for introducing me to this, now I have a brand new playground of content in a 20 year old game.
@@camusthaking1124love to see someone fully grasping the material.
Mew is definitely nice as long as your required move is a TM. Smeargle is a similar principle with Sketch, but let's you get some of the more hard-to-learn moves if needed.
Don't forget about hidden power types! I've since acquired a few different "test subject" Pokemon with more hidden power types and optimal IVs.
There's lots of fun to be had on this playground indeed.
At some point i was expecting him yo say to answer that we have to talk about parallel universes
90 mins. Yes please. Instant share to my people.
Man I literally just bought a GB operator so I can finally unlock the events. I remember searching for glitches last year and not finding anything. This is awesome
you might have some issues running glitches in the GB operator emulator itself, but you can use the latest mGBA and I know for sure it all works there.
Unless you also have a GBA/DS, in which case you're golden. Have fun!
@ hey thanks for the reply I have a GBA-SP and currently shiny hunting mewtwo but once that’s done I was planning on using the GB operator to unlock those events finally
The intro of *M A I L* with SV music is lowkey godly 😂
Thanks for the explanation! It's so cool that I've spent almost all my free time during last week messing around with it.
I was wondering if I can use experience values from exact levels for any pokemon or move. In order to do so, I've modified my version adding the growth rates to the data and creating a new sheet that shows which pokemon, item and move match with each of those experience values for each rate. I haven't spent much time checking it yet, but I think it could be useful.
I've also added to the workshop the level calculation, an extra search field that shows which levels correspond to the value for all exp curves and a table that gets the origin data from the current pokemon. If you're interested, I can share it.
that sounds super helpful! You can join my discord and share your version, I'll add the improvements when I get the chance.
Yeah you can use experience to arbitrarily get any Move/Item/Species, as long as its not a glitch move that crashes the game when you swap G->A to move it around.
@@PapaJefeYT Done! You can check it out whenever you want.
In fact, all the growth rate stuff started because I was trying to get the M block to look like the following bytes:
0x0000 or 0x0010
0x2180
0xFFFF
0x3FFF
0x0000
0x0000
This is an invalid combination of EVs (you can't reach it through regular EV training), so I had to get creative. Move 0x3FFF is partially stable: I managed to switch it around with 3 moves (the other two were valid low-value moves, I believe they were Pound and Gust). But that's all, when I add a 4th move, the summary becomes unstable. On the other hand, I don't think the move 0xFFFF would be stable, so I think this way is a dead end.
I haven't been able to apply the MailGlitch corruption for this so far. I finally managed to do it in a weird way with an ACE and it wasn't easier. But, I want to be able to do it with the MailGlich, so I'll keep trying and looking for other ways.
Those were the most sane pokemon nicknames I have ever seen you use.
I deleted 50% of my hard drive sectors at random. I call that arbitrary code execution 🔫
Honestly, the title undersells the power of these glitches, wow lmao
Finally catching a good video from the source of a glitch Hunter like this is so awesome!!! Good job and great work and content Bro!!! To you and all involved! ❤
LOL the eevees flying away when you deleted them was funny
For the most time I believed FRLG to be a heaven nearly completely purified from glitches, but these are astounding discoveries!
I have a problem hitting my seeds. I found a good one with the ten lines, my settings are: sound='mono', l='lr', button='start', select='yes'. When I load the game, I hit start and select at the same time and hold them until I can select my safe file. But every seed I hit, select is checked with "no" instead of "yes". What do I do wrong?
Ohhh that's my bad! I didn't explain what "Select" meant exactly.
If your seed has "select=yes" then you want to hold select through the entire boot sequence. that extra button being held through boot up is what slightly shifts the seed.
You'd keep it held for the whole cutscene, and then add on the A/Start press and hold at the title screen when the beeps come.
@PapaJefeYT thanks for the quick response! I will try it later :)
@@PapaJefeYT Just out of curiosity, why exactly does holding Select change things? Did they code the seed selection to manually check if Select is held (and if so, increment it?) or is it more of an indirect effect? This stuff is very interesting to me so I'm just curious.
@@OldDistantHermitit's actually not coded specifically to have an effect. It's a side effect of how they pull the seed from a timer that's constantly running on the CPU.
The timer is deterministic, but the CPU handles everything including inputs.
Basically by holding the button, you make the CPU do ever so slightly that much more work, and so it changes the output. Sensitive but predictable if you do the right things
@@PapaJefeYT That's really cool. Thanks for the explanation, and love seeing the work you and everyone else is doing shown off in a way that makes sense for everyone :)
Is there a way to get to the more advanced parts of this without the RNG manips? I struggle with the timing due to a skill issue with my hands, and even when practicing on an "easy" manip like Eevee I never even seem to get close (using the bingo sheet method to track I never seem to get ON the sheet)
@@jerematic the absolute easiest way would be to use the "Create a Pokemon from Nothing" code but put in a non-glitch species.
Pokemon generated that way are also unencrypted, and would been completely usable with the mail system. Because their TID/SID/PID are all just 0000 0000
Now they will be slightly more difficult to make competitive/legal, because you'll need to use corruption to tweak their IVs/Met Data.
However if you just want to play around with the mail glitch, that's the easiest entry point.
@@PapaJefeYT Thank you for replying!
So long as any pokemon created this way are able to PalPark to Gen 4 and be used in the battle frontier i don't mind about comp/legal
You've done an amazing job with all of this!
Can’t wait to see something along these lines at a GDQ, and watch the runner jump through hoops trying to convince the audience they’re actually playing Pokémon and not doing any glitches.
First off I just want to say, thank you so much for making these. These tutorials are incredible, and are such good breakdowns for the setup process for this stuff. Genuinely revolutionary stuff going on in my childhood pokemon games, and I couldn't be more excited.
One question I have though is there any way you can show how to set up Move ACE using grab ACE?
I noticed that there are a bunch of Move ACE codes for FR/LG that haven't been converted to grab ACE, and some of them are extremely difficult to port because of the small differences of where things sit in RAM using each method (At PC vs in battle). I don't think anyone has made a tutorial for setting up move ACE from a single game now that we have grab ACE, and I'd be surprised if it wasn't doable now. I just figured that if we can have a resource showing how to set it up from grab ACE then even if some codes aren't able to be ported, we can at least keep the utility, and make them more accessible.
I think it's possible to bootstrap Move ACE from Grab ACE, but it will take some work. It's on my list of things to look into, but I'll likely need help from Sleipnir.
I absolutely have to try this sometime. Did ACE through item underflow in RBY and bad cloning in GSC to get 8F for legal Mew and Celebi egg respectively, so this is exciting for me
This whole thing you did here. A work of art.
I have a feeling you might enjoy locomotives... but seriously youre a wizard i could never focus long enough to do this when i know i can just download a save file from someone who has the pokemon i want
This video has been instructive and enjoyable so far, thank you! Around 42:20, I notice the names of the boxes are being changed for the Fast Clone Glitch. But the prior step taught me the names of the boxes determine the TID & SID, which determine that shiny 6 IV Eevee. So, how does renaming the boxes not affect the TID & SID, and by extension, the would-be cloned Eevee?
@@amoinoacid you only have to change the box names and do the glitch pokemon swap once, and the TID SID change is permanently applied to your save. After that you can enter new codes.
43:09 its like this guy is glassware left on a bunsen burner you have to use gloves to pick up
I've loosely followed R/G/B/Y, G/S/C, and R/S/E glitches for several years now, but NEVER would I have thought FR/LG could be cracked open like this! YES! MORE GLITCHES!!! I've always adored Pokemon glitches this RULES
thinking about it square shinies would be unencrypted by default right? since square shinies on transfer mons have to xor their pid and tid/sid to 0
Not always. Encryption key takes in the full PID and the SID and TID combined, so order matters.
For example: FFFF0000 xor 0000FFFF would yield an encryption key of FFFFFFFF
But for shinies, it only takes each half the PID and the TID/SID separately.
FFFF xor 0000 xor 0000 xor FFFF = 0
Which is a square shiny, but would not be unencrypted.
@PapaJefeYT oooooh ok thank you, i was actually about to try this and had gotten to the point of rng maniping the eevee and wouldve wasted a decent amount of time messing with it
Really Cool Glitches. I love glitching in gen 1 and gen 3 is no exception man. Save corruption is fun to play with.
JIMOTHY COOL MENTIONED (this is insane)
I miss when all I had to do was look into my coin case after looking at machop on the pokedex.
this is fucking awesome
i love how the wierd anticheat thing of splitting up the pokemon's data and shuffling it around just created more ways to effectively cheat in pokemon without even using external tools
as someone who rlly wants to get into coding and game development, getting to see how a games mechanics work internally, and how they can be broken through glitches is always so cool to see
I don't want to detract from how great this comment is, just really wonderful stuff.
But your little icon + the name coolbugfacts3953 is just spectacular.
That was almost as convoluted a crafting system as Path of Exile.
I like Path of Exile.

I know the game boy Pokémon’s were written in Assembly that is 100% why you can do all this memory manipulation shenanigans
