About one of the most famous glitches, the Old Man.
Hi my fellows pokémon fans. So, about this glitch, I've first heard of it today (I'm 31 and play pokémon since 4 or 5 years old) and I'm trying some stuff with this Old Man Glitch. So I've got some questions that I could not find online.
Ok, so the glitch depends on your name for the pokémon that will appear, and, I don't know if it is in every case, but it can be used to help with the saffari hunt, because of the grass tiles there. If I go to any route with grass, find a pokémon for that route, and do the glitch, all the pokémon for that area will appear? What about Pokémon Mansion in Cinnabar, or caves? Or the PowerPlant?
Another question/something interesting I've found. Trying to get the starters I went to Oak's Lab and talked to him, that made slowpoke and slowbro appear for me (My name is BLUE in game), which should not appear for my name. After that I tried swimming in vermillion (spent about 5 to 10 minutes there, no encounter) and then tried talking to the market guy in Viridian. After talking to him, and selling some ultraballs, I went to the Old Man in Viridian, flight to Cinnabar, and surfed again. Now Rattatta and sandshrew are appearing, besides the typical ones from the BLUE name. The question is, has anyone eles tried this experimentation with entenring in other buildings, talking to NPCs and stuff?
I swear I've found nothing besides the common info about going into the saffari, and the name being relevant for the pokémon that appear.
Any help/new discoveries would be nice!
Thanks, and sorry for the english, it's a little rusty.
