Glitch City – mysterious place in Pokemon games

Glitch City is a phenomenon that occurs in Pokemon games, which is the result of programming errors and anomalies related to the safari zone. Entering Glitch City, players can experience strange, unpredictable events that can sometimes lead to game hangups or other technical issues. This is an interesting phenomenon that is still explored by fans of the series.

Glitch City has also become a source of interest for players and researchers who explore its secrets and try to understand what factors lead to its occurrence. Despite being a game bug, for some players, discovering this location can be a fascinating experience as they explore new aspects of the game that they could not experience under normal conditions. However, for others, it can be a frustrating experience due to the technical issues it can cause.

Even saving the game in this place can not spoil the game, like MissingNo. it will still be there without Pokemon knowing the right move, will prevent us from escaping.

What is Glitch City

Contrary to what the name suggests, it is not a city. This is a specific mistake, thanks to which we can cause strange errors in textures. Depending on the generated place, we are able to visit the city, or we may come across a situation where we will not be able to move. Every place we call Glitch City gives us a completely different result. There are several popular places where players cause this error:

• Route 20 – If a player reaches the westernmost field with water in that area, he will go left of it one step away, and then go back right and press start, the whole area will become water on which you can surf.
• Rock Tunnel – the city of errors that we cause in the tunnel is nothing special, except one effect. When we run out of time in this location and did not use Flash traffic, the darkness will accompany us when we return to Safari Zone.
• Route 13 – In the Pokemon Yellow version, an interesting effect appears, after leaving the Safari Zone, the player is teleported to the room in the city of Saffron. After leaving, he appears again in Glitch City.
  Cycling Road – this place is popular due to the speed of movement, thanks to which we can exhaust the limit of steps much faster.

How do I get to Glitch City?

Getting to the buggy location is possible through the safari zone in Fuchsia City. When we enter the building, the guard will ask us if we want to participate in the safari, we agree and automatically pass through the exit door. Then we immediately go out again to the entrance building. We will be asked if we want to finish the event. We answer that we are not and we are going back to the safari area. Then we save the game and reset it. When we reload the game state we enter the building and when asked by the security guard whether we want to participate in the safari, we answer “NO”.

Now the player can use the Fly movement and fly to any location. The game thinks that we are still on the hunt and counts down 500 steps. After they are finished, we are taken back to the building in Fuchsia City. After his abandoned rotten city of errors appears to our eyes.

Upon entering Glitch City, players may encounter incorrect textures, erroneous objects, or repetitive elements. Sometimes, interactions with objects or characters can cause game instability, which may require a reboot or may lead to loss of progress.

How to escape from the city of mistakes?

To leave this location, the trainer needs to use the Fly or Teleport traffic. If he does not have such a Pokemon, he will not be able to get out of the broken location. When we have a poisoned creature in our team, when his life falls to zero, we will return to the Pokecentrum building.

Next generation of games

To prevent the occurrence of this phenomenon in later parts of the series, the way in which the entrance tiles were programmed, which were responsible for this phenomenon, was changed. Also prevented from saving the game in the safari zone.
