There are patches from Gold/Silver JP, though I can only think of an [unconfirmed] Bug Catching competition exploit which allows you to obtain any shiny Pokémon. The glitch was being tested on GCL forums' Submit a Glitch board but I don't think anyone ever finished the steps (which I can no longer remember). Would this passage from TR's Rockin' be what you were referring to? From UltimateWhiteDragon: "This is a cheat that will turn a pokemon that can evolve into a shiny pokemon. It is for Gold, Silver, and Crystal ONLY. I haven't tried it yet, but my friend showed me, and now he has a shiny sunkern!!! It truly does work, but it takes a few days. 1. Have the red gyarados, or any other shiny pokemon with you. 2. Put a flying pokemon in the first position, the pokemon's color who is wished to be changed in the second, three pokemon of your choice in the other positions, and the shiny pokemon at the end of your party. 3. Now, deposit the pokemon of your choice in an empty box, along with the shiny pokemon in the P.C. last. 4. Now, go to the bug catching contest, and enter. Use your flying pokemon in the contest. as soon as your in the contest, exit out, and the clerk will say: " Would you like to finish now?" 5. Say "NO" and you'll be back in the contest. 6. Use your flying pokemon to fly out of the contest, and store whatever pokemon's color who is wished to be shiny in a P.C. box with the pokemon of your choice, and the shiny pokemon you deposited earlier. 7. You should only have your flying pokemon with you. 8. Go back to the contest, save your game by the clerk, and wait until Tuesday, Saturday, or Thursday. 9. When it's one of those day's, talk to the clerk, and complete the contest. 10. Do not exit the contest and finish before the others, because it will break the code. 11. After the contest has been complete, go to your P.C. and withdraw the pokemon's color who wanted to be changed. 12. It will be in shiny version, but it will have the other shiny pokemon's name. Go to the name rater to fix this. NOTE: This does not always work, and only works on pokemon that evolve, such as Larvitar, Pupitar, Spearow, Pidgey, or Pigeotto. Under that entry, there was an account from another person saying it didn't work when she tried it on a Nidoran (unspecified gender.) Yes, that's the one. I don't know where it came from. Apparently it only works in Japanese versions (or so I've heard). Another select bug: www.gamefaqs.com/boards/924467-pokemon-green/49402241"1. get 2 pokemons, water type*** 2. have 13 items with you 3. get into battle 4. go to item 5. go to the 13th item(press down 12 times) 6. press select 7. press B 8. go to switch pokemon screen 9. press down(point to 2nd pokemon) 10.press A(the pokemon should turn to Mew)*** 11.Now you can press B to cancel back to the battle screen and run away from battle OR kill the enemy to win the battle. 12.Heal your pokemon and put Mew into the PC then take it back out(it should fix the HP)### 13.Or simply trade it to another gameboy" There are other select bugs which I'd like to try too, though the instructions are in Japanese: 1) One which lets you battle Mew in the Celadon Department Store. 2) Alternative walk through walls without Gameshark. (without Safari Zone). Also, a few Safari Zone tricks: 1)From PRAMA Initiative: Landing the last step on a door prevents you from leaving the Safari Zone, but this also prevents you from moving. 2) From Pokemon Stats: Performing the Glitch City trick and landing the last Safari Zone step in Rock Tunnel without Flash allows you to play the Safari Zone (and potentially explore the whole of Kanto) in the dark.

^Wow interesting. Also that shiny pokemon one was from David Wonn's site if I remember (the one I linked to not long ago), although no one tested it yet

Also, a few Safari Zone tricks: 2) From Pokemon Stats: Performing the Glitch City trick and landing the last Safari Zone step in Rock Tunnel without Flash allows you to play the Safari Zone (and potentially explore the whole of Kanto) in the dark. Only for play the Safari Game in the dark, when we exit of Safari Zone anyway (faint by poison, digging, walking) the dark disappears.

Too bad the bug catching thing doesn't work. Guess that means I'll go back to lurking.
Interestingly, when I booted up Silver today, anyway, the clock still said it was 7:53 AM on Saturday. It's probably just my battery going dry (took long enough), but interesting nonetheless.

Odd. I don't see how Tropius comes in to this at all, (assuming they're telling the truth and not using a cheat). Hmm.

Yeah, I thought it could be likely to be a cheat, but worth showing anyway

This was added on Bulbapedia recently:
----------------------------------------------------------------
===Title Screen Text Box Glitch=== + If the player presses L and R before the text box that says "The save file is ok." appears in the title screen, the text box will be covered with blue bars.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone verify this?

"The save file is ok."? Don't remember that text. ._. I tested while the game was starting, when saving, but nothing happened. (tested in both Ruby and Emerald). Two possibilities: the glitch doesn't exist, or the editor wasn't clear enough. (or both o.o)

The only time I've ever seen "The save file is ok" is when I saw videos on YouTube of people playing bootleg copies of various Pokémon games for GBA. Which means, it's hacked in and most likely not present in legitimate cartridges. Which means the glitch probably doesn't occur on real carts either.

I couldn't get this to work either. As Blaziken suggested, the message "the save file is ok" probably doesn't exist at all in legitimate versions. I tried spamming L+R before the options came up on both Sapphire and FireRed, with a corrupted save file to test 'any message' and nothing happened at all. However, there is a slight quirk regarding FireRed/LeafGreen. In Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald, the "The save file is corrupt. The previous save file will be loaded." message is one line. In FireRed/LeafGreen, however this was changed to two lines "The save file is corrupted. [NL] The previous save file will be loaded." If you pay close attention to the screen before options (Continue, New Game, etc.) come up, for a fraction of a second "The previous save file will be loaded" message occupies the box where Continue should be. I've never heard about that glitch. o.o Sounds interesting. So it transfers the name/nickname and the IVs (since in Gen II the shininess is defined by the IVs). What about EVs, moveset and current stats? Everything about it, except the species (which you choose), otherwise it's essentially the same Pokémon you deposited second to last in the PC box. This means that it becomes an unstable hybrid, if you put it into Daycare it reverts back to the original species and its experience to the next level becomes glitched, so that's why it might be a good idea to choose a Pokémon that evolves.

Btw, not always the "corruption message" from RSE occupies just one line. The save file is corrupted. The previous save file will be loaded. The internal battery has run dry. The game can be played. However, clock-based event will no longer occur. (or something like this). But anyway, does it count as a glitch/oversight? I've noticed something similar in BW while switching the Item Cursor between Twistedspoon and any other item.

Yeah I didn't recognise that text, and if it's not a corruption text then this clearly isn't legit.

I've found something in Sapphire. I was using a walk through walls code to go into the Battle Tower to go into the Battle Tower without talking to the clerk, and I apparently automatically went to Lv100 Challenge. When I beat the first trainer, and my Pokemon were restored, I went to the second Trainer. I sent out a ?????????? that had no nickname (like it was just blank). I tried to replicate it, but I couldn't. Any possible explanation?

I tried to replicate it, but I couldn't. Any possible explanation? Have you try getting to the second Trainer again, using the same method to see if you get the same result? I was guessing that when the nurse heals your Pokémon, the game is probably refreshing your roster back to the stored data instead of just healing your Pokémon (which you normally select). Since you didn't select any Pokémon this data is probably kept null by default. P.S Please take that with a pinch of salt. I make too many guesses for my own good, I should take a look at the game code to see what actually happens more often.
