    What's interesting about this ghost npc you find in game is that her theme plays the "Burned Tower Theme" which also ties to unused text in the game that would've been involved in finding someones daughter in the burnt tower.
    "Oh, no. Oh, no…
    My daughter is
    missing.
    No… She couldn’t
    have gone to the
    BURNED TOWER.
    I told her not to
    go near it…
    People seem to
    disappear there…
    Oh, what should I
    do…?"
    whether or not the NPC seen Glitch City is the cut NPC for that area or a coincidence is unknown but it's eerie how much it matches up with the unused dialouge.

      I'm surprised that I didn't mention this in the video, but I first heard about this ghost from the talk page of Pokémon G/S's TCRF article, where someone mentioned that text.
      The connection is pretty spooky.

      I promise that I didn't edit the game to make this video. The ghost wasn't there in BGB and probably wouldn't be on cart. I had to depend of VBA's 'questionable' emulation and some GS codes to actually see this, so I wouldn't call it legit by any means, but I assure you that the game was not modded.

    It happens because the unstable state of the game, caused by talking to the young grl formed through arbituary game data, caused the game's software to restart.
    It shows this screen for the exact same reason that the Coin Case glitch tends to result in the "glitch dimensuon". The game's sofrwarw went entirely back to the beginning, right back to the start of the game's code, where it checks to see what system the game's running on. Since the relevent information the game relies on to determine the system no longer exists, the game defaults into thinking that the game's running on the original Gameboy. The thing is, Pokémon Crystal only supports the Gameboy Color...

    HEAD-CANON:
    Ghost-leader Cara was Ethan's sister, and was the original gym leader of New Bark City.
    Unfortunately, she was murdered in what was formerly her room, she was trying to protect Ethan. (Ethan was just 2 years old at this point, Ethan claimed her room after he was old enough)
    This is why she knows Ethan's name, and thinks of him as an enemy. The glitchy screen (the one while trying to search for the poison barb) is what she wrote down in her journal before her demise, because she was panicked. Horsea and Seadra were her pokemon before the murderer stole them after he killed Cara.
    Glitch City in Pokemon Crystal is what would be the afterlife. The green guy's name is actually Kheb, and was the one who killed Cara with a poison barb, and was executed at prison. The reason why he's on a bike in Glitch City is because he tried to get away from the police on a bike before being promptly arrested.
    Also the reason why she keeps saying "MOM" is because that was the last thing she was saying, and the phone ringing was the last thing she heard.

      Cara and Ethan's mom later gave away Cara's journal to Johanna, the mom of Dawn, who kept it until Dawn was old enough to go on her Pokemon journey. Fast forward to Platinum, Dawn had been given Cara's old journal from her mom, since she was old enough to go on a journey. Since the journal now belongs to Dawn, what happened to Cara's pages? Well, Ethan had held onto them as a memory of Cara, so the journal was blank.

      And maybe... Much like how Buried Alive in the creepypasta dragged you into his grave to make Red his lunch if Red lost the battle... If Ethan loses to Cara, she claims his soul, somehow killing him over the phone, possibly her number being one of the "red numbers". If Ethan wins, she can't accept that her brother, who she's come to hate so much beat her in a battle and she essentially destroys the world.

  • @harunai

    She's lonely, after all. Being trapped alone in a place that no longer exists, unable to coherently voice her thoughts, trapped in sheer agony.
    Her only solace is that her three beloved Pokemon chose to spend an eternity's worth of hell with her, but what remains of her human mind feels nothing but remorse for dooming her companions to such an agonizing fate. Did they even consent to this? At the very least, they're handling this world far better than she is, as they remain mostly-sane. Perhaps it's because they rarely see the world outside of their Pokeballs, so they have no knowledge that anything is wrong.
    However, something changes. The endlessly warping city has changed, today. Out of the corner of her eye, in her kaleidoscope view, she sees something she almost didn't recognize. The face of a human. She could surely no longer call herself one, but there is a human here. That human walks near her. She doesn't recognize the feeling of her gripping her own Pokeball, but the instinctive need to battle this trainer, to seek out a human, overrides much else.
    The trainer stops moving, and she approaches. She is walking away in one eye, and walking closer in the other. The trainer says nothing.
    She holds up her hand to throw the Pokeball,
    and
    the
    world
    stops
    it's fine. she has company now. she's not alone.
    another one
    just like her
    trapped for eternity
    with nothing but his trusting companions for comfort
    until the world
    resets
    on itself
    all over again

      Ghost of Glitch City: "??? How did a living entity get into this dimension?" But the problem is, she can't convert her thoughts into a form of human language for him to understand. Her slow, unintelligible noises of screeching despair and confusion invoke fear into him. Is she a threat?

    It seems like Cara is trying to tell us something, but struggles to due to being corrupted. The theories in the comments make surprisingly so much sense too.
    Here's my version - Cara died in the burned tower. When the player cheated, her ghost got revived, but instead of being revived in the peacefull afterlife, she saw glitch city. She was very confused by this circumstance, thus the amount of question marks in her dialogue. When she saw the player character (theo) she believed that he is the cause of her getting sent here (TheoEnemy). When calling for her mother (mommommom...) is unsuccessful, she tries to fight the player.

    Also, where did that name and pokemon line-up come from? Is it actually unused content hidden in the code? Two Horseas and a Seadra at comparable and sensible levels just... makes too much sense to be a glitch line-up. =/

      On the topic of this being creepy, I found out about this from a post on the Pokémon Gold/Silver talk page on TCRF, where they mentioned that it could be related to some unused text:
      "Oh, no. Oh, no…
      My daughter is
      missing.
      No… She couldn’t
      have gone to the
      BURNED TOWER.
      I told her not to
      go near it…
      People seem to
      disappear there…
      Oh, what should I
      do…?"
      It's probably just a coincidence and some garbage data, but it kinda adds to the spookiness.

And even if all the text she spits out is garbage data, there’s still a whole new level of unsettling tied to her.

  • @pokala1828
    @pokala1828 4 года назад +54

    Chose to type something up about this. Fairly cringe.
    You decided to find her.
    The lost one that you all had missed so dearly.
    Even after you completed your journey, you never found her.
    Up until now, you've been going on your POKEMON Journey for a couple of things, but one of those includes your sister.
    How could she have gone to the Burned Tower?
    After that day, she never came back from it.
    You both knew that going was a bad idea, but she always had that adventure side.
    Curiosity killed the cat.
    You barely remember what happened when you both actually went there.
    All you remember is your sister calling for MOM, and then for you to wake up.
    Although you would fall back to sleep moments later, the clear fear in her voice was even recognized by you,
    That was the last memory you had of her.
    Only 6 years old, one year below you.
    Some of your Journey was for her sake, To find her somewhere out there.
    When you came face to face with RED, It was like even he could tell that you had been going this far for someone.
    You got tired of MOMs sobbing.
    But then- you had finally found a solution.
    "If I had mixed time and space.."
    You muttered to yourself how unlikely getting your hands on a legendary pokemon was.
    Ever since she disappeared, it feels like your room's felt weirder and weirder.
    Eventually, you decided to investigate it, although you didn't find anything in the room.
    "Something in the walls maybe?"
    You took out a Machamp, asked your MOM if it was okay, and told your Machamp to smash the wall.
    In the second it did so, you felt the coldest rain and hottest summer.
    It practically sucked you in, as your surroundings went dark, water in random places, seemingly numbers of tiles and god-forsaken floors that looked like a delirium mix.
    Your vision immediately was a blur, and you felt the same nervousness as when you had faced RED.
    It was clear that your MOM had heard the ruckus upstairs, and rushed in your room.
    You could hear her calling out your name.
    You could see her almost crying.
    You tried to speak- nothing came out.
    You had traveled for 5 hours at that point.
    There had to be an exit.
    It seemed like time sped up here, as it had circled day and night lasted for 30 minutes.
    After random patches of water, grass, and white and random pieces of buildings, you see a figure in the distance.
    Even though you hadn't seen her face in years, you instantly recognized her.
    You fell to your knees.
    You hold your head up.
    "Is that yo-"
    It seemed like she had known your presence.
    The atmosphere changed.
    You felt uneasy, which was met with fear as lines of question marks circle around the landscape.
    The place you were in had changed, it felt like-no, looked like it was the evening.
    Although you knew you couldn't see the Sun, it felt like evenings lasted longer than midday or night.
    You had gone some other directions, not remembering the ones you took last time.
    How could you? It was like the new land you were placed in was a whole new labyrinth.
    After even more hours- you could hear police sirens- had time slowed down in here, and were you hearing the outside world? you thought.
    Eventually, you found her again.
    This time, you saw her clearly, and with how tired you were of walking for seemingly eternity, you took your final steps.
    You could make out what she was saying-albeit unclear.
    She was screaming for MOM, and THEO, your name.
    You held out your hand- you're almost falling off balance- and then you hugged your sister, who had been missing for years.
    It seemed like your tiredness was lifted, and all those random patches of water and floor had gone.
    You calmly took CARA's hand, All though you had no problem running there while crying, It seemed like you were still in a dream, All those dreams you had which you woke up from.
    The corridor ended at a portal looking door, which when you opened, lead you to your room.
    You fell to the floor, and the next thing you know, you're in the hospital.
    When the doctors come in, you can barely pick up your groggy voice and say. "Is Cara at home?"
    "Ironic you said that."
    "Yes."

    I haven't encountered that OOB effect since 2007, I had it so the trainers on the map also followed the scrolled movement while walking, for reference it was on route 30, in between the bug catcher kid and the blue haired girl into the left of the map...Good memories.
    Oh and I would say the girl is running Eusine's script from burnt tower since it's Crystal, music also starts when encountered which would line up with his script and the colour for her is the same as the legendary beasts, and Dick when defeated in Gold and Silver also gains that palate. Another note is she says your name at one point which would need to be read by a special npc that reads the name variable, only a few characters read that variable and Eusine is one of them.
    Cara is a cooltrainer found in Dragon Den, she shares the same pokemon team as leader Cara in the video, and again she is only in Crystal (For gen 2 anyway).

I like the think the crashing, and slowly saying Theo over and over, etc after grabbing the barb is her slowly connecting the dots and getting angrier until she finally just battles you.
    When you lose and the phone call happens, i think that it's a family or friend trying to get into contact but because you were defeated in the glitch city, you cant contact them back so you dont kmow who was actually calling. Idk what to add for the winning thing since its just nothing with cara sprite looking like seadra

    2:43 Sounds like a corrupted version of a Buizel cry, which is weird because Buizel wasn't a thing until gen 4, coincidentally the one generation where these games got remade. These glitches transcend time.

    The "This Game Pak is designed only for use on the Gameboy Color" screen appears because the game reset in Gameboy mode, which Crystal isn't compatible with. In Gold and Silver when this happens, the game resets in Gameboy mode in what is known as a "glitch dimension". Here's a video of it: ruclips.net/video/42F02AxOlmk/видео.html

    The construction of these early games is honestly so fascinating - the coding is so intricate yet so fragile, and you never know what will happen if it's taken off the rails.

    When you "broke" the music it actually sounded better than the regular song. I also liked her custom victory song, it was nice.

    Regarding 3:24, I know for a fact the GBA has a register dedicated to which type of console it is, to check it at runtime. For instance, this opens the "Advanced Shop" in the Zelda Oracle games if running the games on GBA. This may also be a code security check.
    This screen may appear either as 1) a non-Color GameBoy (first GameBoy, GameBoy Pocket, GameBoy Light) is detected through this register, or 2) as a ROM value is overwritten as you said (the security check), which can only happen when running in an emulator, as ROM data is in the host system RAM. The latter makes running any data write inefficiently for needing to check the destination on each write, disabling the security check altogether, or require patching such security check on a per-game basis.

    That trainer is Cooltrainer Cara from the Dragon's Den. The game arbitrarily launched that trainer battle, it's nothing unique.

      i have seen a video showing another glitch npc in the same map ( ruclips.net/video/LLrcZNyeJ4k/видео.html ), -though im not sure how or where- EDIT: im pretty sure they were using the german version of the game, which id bet has a completely different set of objects.
      im fairly certain that these were just stumbled upon, and they arent very well researched since they seem to be the result of vba's emulation inaccuracies. i personally found out about the ghost from a post on tcrf's gold and silver talk page asking if she might be related to the unused "oh no, oh no, my daughter is missing" text. ( tcrf.net/Talk:Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_and_Silver#Burned_Tower_subplot )
      TheZZAZZGlitch, who knows a lot more about these games than i do, mentions in their video about pokemon crystal's out of bounds that this map actually has 36 (!!!) objects in it, though somehow *none* of them can be seen on cartridge ( ruclips.net/video/1VZzcQ_fGUU/видео.htmlm53s )
