Yellow - Stuck in Saffron City Bug?

So I'm playing Yellow on gen1recomp, and I tried to walk through the gate from Vermillion to Saffron, and when the guard told me that they're thirsty, the game pushed me forward instead of backward. Now I can't exit from any of the guard houses, and I can't enter the silph co.

Any ideas on how to get out? I tried googling a few different things and I didn't see anyone else have this bug.
