In Pokémon Red and Blue, there is a glitch and also an oddity (glitch if you want to call it that) about Silph Co. 11F's lift.

Oddity/glitch: If you take the lift to Silph Co.'s 11F and exit it, the player character appears on the lift and you can press up to enter it again. If you enter the lift this way, the exit mats inside of the lift will work (even if you do not move).

For all of the lift doors on other floors, the player is not placed on the lift door when they leave it.

This 11F oddity was adjusted in Pokémon Yellow, so that the player steps down after leaving the elevator.

Glitch:  If you get to the lift on Silph Co. 11F without using the "Which floor do you want?" prompt or without entering it from when you are already standing on the elevator door (thanks to the above oddity), then the (left) exit will be blocked if you do not move.

This is similar to the glitch in Mr. Fuji's house (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIOYPQDVBJA) after you rescue him from Team Rocket, where you are placed on the exit mat to Mr. Fuji's house, but if you do not move then you cannot leave it.

This glitch where the elevator exit is blocked appears to have been fixed in Pokémon Yellow.

Thanks to landon morrical for bringing this glitch to my attention literally less than an hour ago. :) His channel. https://plus.google.com/109249167624248627393/posts
