The 20 Year Old Pokemon Glitch You DON'T Know About

The Pokemon series has been around for nearly 30 years, but just like how the characters in the games don't know everything about the pocket sized monsters, we don't know everything about the Pokemon games. This glitch went under the radar for over 20 years, and in this video, we're gonna talk about not only the glitch itself, but also the history behind it, and the results of a few experiments that I ran in an attempt to answer some unanswered questions.

A MAJOR thanks to ChickasaurusGL, blahpy, and the Glitch City Research Institute Discord server for making this video possible!
