10 Glitches That Actually IMPROVED Video Games

Another not-so-subtle cheat glitch that was just too fun at the time to ignore, cloning your pocket-sized pals in Pokemon Gold and Silver—all Generation II games for that matter—was a dream for any budding Pokemon master.

Now, after being raised on a childhood diet of Ash Ketchum monologues and The Avengers, I like to think I have pretty good morals, but if you offer me a way to potentially get all three starter Pokemon at game’s beginning, I’ll cheat my own mother out of her pension if needs be.

Anyway, a simple turning off of the Game Boy when transferring Pokemon into storage allowed the player to catch the game with said pocket monster both in your party and in the allotted box.

This meant you could also clone any item that Pokemon was holding, meaning unlimited rare candies and master balls as long as you could be arsed performing the glitch, copying up to five Pokemon at a time.

Gotta catch ‘em all? Well, now that it’s realistically doable, I will!
