When the section is loaded again, it will be normal. The distortion caused by tweaking can be solved easily by crossing a load line away from the distortion, causing it to unload. The effects can vary from a game freeze, invisible walls, a completely black area, a completely white area, a change in the Z-axis location, or even a completely different section fully loading in the wrong place.

Doing so triggers a race condition bug, causing sections to load improperly. Using the Bicycle in the fourth gear, however, can cause the player to move too fast for the game to load the areas properly, especially if one changes direction several times while near the intersection of two load lines, thus loading and unloading multiple sections over and over nearly simultaneously.

Through this, the overworld appears seamless. (For example, if the player is standing in the northwest quadrant of their current section, the sections to the north, west, and northwest will be loaded.) 'Load lines' exist halfway across each section at the boundaries between quadrants, so named because when the player crosses over one, the sections in that direction are loaded into memory, while the sections behind the player are unloaded. At any given time, only four sections are loaded and visible: the section the player is currently in as well as two sections orthogonally away and one diagonally away, depending on which quadrant of the current section the player is in. No Pokémon will be encountered here.Īll maps in Generation IV are broken up into square 'sections' or 'chunks' 32 tiles by 32 tiles across.
