Amazing Man

Plantilla:Misc R/B/Y
The "**Amazing Man**" is a non-playable character in the first generation of Pokémon games that jumps to places that normally he would not be able to reach. There are multiple variations recorded.

This glitch only works in some language versions of Red and Blue. It does not work in any version of Yellow or the Spanish versions (and possibly others) of Red or Blue.

## Celadon City's Amazing Man

1. Fly to Celadon City and, if you have gotten one, deposit your Bicycle into the PC. Walk west toward Cycling Road.
2. When you go inside the building, walk straight across towards the alternate exit.
3. When the guard talks to you, forcing you to walk up to him, look behind him to see this:

## Cinnabar Island's Amazing Man

1. Fly to Cinnabar Island. Make sure you have not unlocked the door to the gym, nor the key from the Pokémon Mansion.
2. Surf a bit in the eastern beach, and get out directly below the gym.
3. Continue walking to the left until a message appears reading "The door is locked...". Look on the roof to find this:

His location will change depending on how far away you are from the gym when you exit the water. If you land directly in front of the gym, he will appear where he is in the picture. If you land one space below the gym, walk along the coast up to the gym, and then turn left so you are in front of the door, he will appear one space lower than the picture. Land 2 spaces away from the gym, walk along the coast, and then when you reach the gym walk in front of the door, and he will be two spaces lower from the picture. Thus, being three spaces away from the base of the gym and walking along the coast to the front of the door, you will be 3 spaces lower than the picture.

The Amazing Man of Cinnabar can also appear directly below the player if the player goes to the front of the Cinnabar Gym after exiting the Pokémon Lab in Cinnabar. The steps to activate the glitch follows:

1. Exit Pokémon Lab.
2. Walk right until you cannot go right anymore without surfing.
3. Walk up until you're stopped by the gym.
4. Walk left one space (you should now be in front of the gym). The glitch should activate; this will appear:

## Explanation

This glitch happens when a NPC becomes visible for the first time since the player has entered the map. It happens either naturally when a text box pops out on the same step (Celadon City and Cinnabar Island Amazing Men) or can be humanly provoked by popping the start menu on that step; in that case it only works if at that precise time you enter a new map.

The Amazing Bike Seller is considered a special case of the first case, because for some reason the bike uses the "hidden objects" code path, which takes precedence over updating sprites. Reading signs or talking to NPCs won't work this way.

In both cases, the NPC appears at the top left corner of the screen, **at the time the player enters the map**. That means that, for example, if the player has moved three steps left and one step up since entering the map, the NPC will appear three steps right and one step down from the top left corner (this is the case for the Celadon City Amazing Man).

Every 16 steps "wrap around"; for example, after exiting the Pokémon Lab, the player is considered to have entered the map at the position of the Pokémon Lab door. From there to the tile in front of the Cinnabar gym door, the net displacement of the player is 12 steps right and 5 steps up. Therefore the Amazing Man appears 4 steps right, 5 steps down from the top left corner.

In particular, in the "artificial" case, the NPC always appear at the top left corner of the screen, because it only works on the same step the player enters the map. A similar case may happen when performing the Ditto Glitch, when the Start menu pops up upon entering a new map.

This glitch was partially patched in European releases of Red and Blue, where NPCs have a correct position, but keep looking down while the text box is up.

This glitch was fully patched in all localizations of Pokémon Yellow.
