Sprite glitch when opening bag while surfing

[ciriousjoker]

Here's a save right before an opportunity to surf and use the escape rope on the water. Nothing game breaking, just a funny graphical glitch when trying to use the escape rope.

Here are the instructions for triggering it (it only seems to occur at one specific location):

game lore spoiler (steps to reproduce & screenshot)

1. Kill Mewtwo
2. Press surf downwards
3. Open the bag
4. Close bag
5. Character sprite is now split in half

I don't think the escape rope was meant to be used in that way, but I guess it technically works too...

Reopening the bag and closing it again fixes the issue seemingly for good. Not sure what's going on here.
