One is the east coast of [[../Cinnabar Island/]], and the other is the east coast of [[../Seafoam Islands/]]. When you swim around on these thin strips, as close to land as possible, you can run into wild Pokémon from the last area you visited. | ||

The area in the game's memory (RAM) holding the possible Pokémon you can currently encounter is also used as a buffer to hold other data during cutscenes. For example, the cutscene from the old guy in [[../Viridian City/]] who taught you how to use Poké Balls copies your name to this buffer. Since neither [[../Cinnabar Island/]] or [[../Seafoam | The area in the game's memory (RAM) holding the possible Pokémon you can currently encounter is also used as a buffer to hold other data during cutscenes. For example, the cutscene from the old guy in [[../Viridian City/]] who taught you how to use Poké Balls copies your name to this buffer. Since neither [[../Cinnabar Island/]] or [[../Seafoam Islands/]] overwrites this area with wild Pokémon information, the cutscene data is read as Pokémon numbers (e.g. hex value 15 = Mew) and not all values are valid. The game already had debugging code from Pokémon Green/Red/Blue to cause all invalid Pokémon to be "Missing No.", which was not meant to be used and is thus glitchy in the remakes of Red/Blue. The seemingly random effects of "Missing No." are due to the debugging code reading/writing memory that it thinks are certain things (e.g. its own moves) but are actually something else (e.g. virtually anything else) because the memory structure is slightly changed. | ||
