Plot hole: If you use a Pokedoll against the Marowak Ghost in the Pokemon Tower, you can actually skip the battle and progress through the game, without ever getting the Silph Scope. This make no sense, you skip a large portion of the game this way. Just as an example, after skipping the Ghost, you fight Jesse and James with evolved Pokemon, but if you go to get the Silph Scope after this, they will be there, with unevolved Pokemon.

Other mistake: If you get all the Pokemon and talk to Oak, he'll say "Your POKEDEX is entirely complete Congratulations!". Between "complete" and "congratulations", there should be a period.

Plot hole: Instead of going to the SS Anne, you can have a Pokemon with Cut traded to you. This makes no sense, you skip a part of the game by doing this. Also, if you advance in the game and then return to the SS Anne, Gary will appear there with weaker Pokemon than the ones he already has. Makes sense? No.

Suggested correction: You can't trade Pokemon with HM moves.
That only applies to later games.

Other mistake: If you don't have the Silph Scope, you'll run into GHOSTs at the Pokemon Tower. However, in the middle of the battle, if you see any of your Pokemon's stats, and then return to the battle, the GHOST will be gone and you'll be able to see the real Pokemon behind it.

Bug: After entering the Cycling Road from the northern gate, go all the way left. You'll see some trees beside the barrier. Then go south, until a point water appears below the trees. If you go up again, you'll see that the trees that were at north have now transformed into water. If you keep going up, and then right so the water is not seen, and then left again, the water has now transformed into trees, again.

Other mistake: When taking the first step into Route 24, press Start. The first trainer of the Nugget Bridge will be standing in the water until you press Start again.

Other mistake: Between Viridian's forest southern and northern gates, there's a whole forest, but judging by the scenario shown outside the forest, it appears that between the gates there's just normal road.

Other mistake: Before winning the League, go to the man that doesn't let you enter to the Unknown Dungeon (Cerulean Cave). Go some steps to the left until you exit the city. Now look, that man has disappeared. If you return to the city, the man's there again.

Other mistake: Get a Pokémon with a Special of 21, and with a move that increases its Attack (as Swords Dance, TM03). Now do the Mew glitch, that is, fly or somehow escape at the same time one trainer sees you by scrolling the screen. Fight with any trainer, then go to Route 13, 14, 15 or 16 and search for a Ditto. Let the Ditto transform into your Pokemon with Special of 21. Now, wait for it to use the move that will increase its attack. It has to use it at least three times. Return to the route where you escaped the trainer. The menu will pop-up, exit and you'll encounter a Mew, however, it will be at least in level 10, and it will know TRANSFORM. Let it transform any of your Pokémon. Then catch it. The game will say you caught a Ditto, not a Mew. The Mew will be gone forever, and instead the Pokémon will be a Ditto.

Factual error: In Cerulean City, there's a man that will trade your Poliwhirl for a Jynx. After trading, he'll say "The POLIWHIRL you traded to me went and evolved!". He may be referring that the trade evolved his Poliwhirl. While there are Pokémon that evolve via trading, Poliwhirl does not. This is a translation mistake from the Japanese Red/Green version, using the Japanese Blue text.

Bug: After the S.S. Anne is gone, go to the guard that says that the ship is gone. After facing him, keep pressing right and then quickly push the START button. Save and reset. If everything's OK, you should continue facing right. Select a Pokémon that knows SURF and use this move. Instead of surfing to the right, you'll surf ON the guard! Press down twice, and you'll enter the S.S. Anne again.

Ed Wood (1994)
Factual error: Ed Wood films Lugosi exiting his house, and grabbing a flower near the entrance, a scene to be shown in "Plan 9". However, in fact, the real scene of "Plan 9" shows Lugosi exiting his house, walking across a garage door (that doesn't exist in "Ed Wood") and grabbing a flower around there.

Visible crew/equipment: When Ellie is taking Daniel and the rest to Richard's camp, while they're walking through the jungle, there's a shot of Faraday and then another one of the floor as they walk. In this second shot the shadow of the cameraman, and the camera itself, is very visible.
