Im guessing the memory storing the number of what lkevel you are on was stored in 8 bits (ons or offs) and when it got to 256... well 2^8=256, and if you include one of them as level zero, that means it can only go up to 255, which would mean it should be 100000000 next, but the one is not in the level slot, so either it went to 00000000 again (which can cause bugs, for example the pac-man bug) or it changes a bit somewhere else, which also can cause some bugs.

A Brother – Like the comic above, a brother or other enemy, might exact revenge on you by deleting a character or save file you really treasure. While I can’t recall a specific instance of revenge taken this way, I’m sure I’ve just blocked it from my memory in order to preserve peace within my family." I've done this to my brother... but it's always an accident. Which is even worse, because then guilt sets in. But karma got me back. Erased my FF9 endgame save and scratched Disc 1 so I couldn't visit the theater district in Lindblum. Pissed me off! Great comic, btw. “6.

So his ADHD ridden cousin comes into the room while we are playing something else, grabs my gameboy and starts fiddling. I look over, tell him to stop playing with my game, and he hands it back. Lo and behold, he reset the game. 248 pokemon and 144 hours down the drain from one dumb cousin. I still hate him.
