A few people have asked if holding B works / why would they make their debug functionality frame perfect, so to add some details: Holding B does not work, and we can only guess since there's no way to know for sure, but my guesses are: 1) When this was implemented they just didn't have the latter parts implemented and it looped there until the B press happened 2) They had multiple checks for B press initially but they all got deleted except this one. RETIRE thinks 1 is likely, and I agree. But again impossible to say for sure. Other than that I've been surprised by how many comments I've gotten from people who have also experienced this and had no idea what was happening. I'm very glad I was able to capture this on stream and investigate it to finally solve this for y'all! Hopefully nobody ever loses their streak to this again 🙂

I like that you included all the stupid theories we came up with before actually finding the bug in the code. Goes to show how often we just have to grasp at straws until we can recreate the issue to debug it. This video also shows that there are a bunch of glitches a lot of researchers would never encounter, and wouldn't ve found unless someone casually comes across them. Researchers and testers focus on completely different areas of the code to break.

Another server got set up again but it was annoying losing all the guides because a lot of people used them.

So uh, I did found a funny little glitch In Diamond/Pearl/Platinum recently and I can't really tell if it is well known or not. The glitch can be done in the Pokemon team menu with the use of Softboiled/Milk Drink Outside of battle. By using Milk Drink/Softboiled on an injured Pokemon It can be healed back by taking HP from the caster of the move. You also cannot use it on a Pokemon at full HP or fainted. However, you can select an injured mon and then, after pressing A, quickly press the d-pad (or 3ds analog stick when I discovered it) to point towards another pokemon: that other pokemon gets healed instead. This leads to 4 little things I noticed but perhaps more can be done... 1- You can "revive" a fainted pokemon that way (which should be impossible) 2- You can OVERHEAL a pokemon which will actually have HP above its max (So a shedinja with 100HP as the jankiest example i can think of) 3- Healing an Egg will overheal it too, and will show the HP bar of the actual pokemon to be hatched. 4- Trying to "heal" the Back button crashes the game. I could not reproduce it on HGSS, though it might be possible there too. I don't really know the true extend of this glitch but I'd say it's an interesting one.

Catching all Unown A-Z to expand tunnel and Catch ? & !. Picking up all items + hidden items around the map. Unlocking all Pokétch App. Get every accessory in case, getting different ribbons on favorite Pokémon buying & owning at least one item in the underground. Doing the daily massage to unlock all special accessories. Inserting all gen 3 Gameboy Advance Pokémon games to unlock special accessory by talking to NPC inside Pal Park lobby. Completing the daily trendy saying phrase in Snowpoint City to expand my knowledge. Unlocking all Pokémon Center Boxes Backgrounds. Rematching all trainers with VS seeker so the trainers leveling their teams to full potential. Getting Gold in all Battle Frontier facilities, getting a combined streak of 10K with different Pokémon in battle Hall so Professor Oak has a chance to appears inside the lobby. Probably missed some other stuff here, But I take this Game more serious than my Job Career. 😂

Once when I was playing leafgreens odd battle tower, the battle started and my opponents had two level 100s when my highest was 80 or something. They had a Jolteon and a shiny Espeon, the Jolteon dealt next to no damage but also took no damage, the moves would hit but it's HP never went down, the Espeon would only use swift. Eventually, I hit the Jolteon with a super effective move and upon that, the music got stuck and turned to static. When I realised the Jolteon was immortal and not just battling with an unreal amount of HP, I turned the game off. I assumed I must have jogged the cartridge, but I really couldn't say for sure what caused it.

Hiya, I can explain this! It's actually the same bug that allows manaphy to become shiny when traded. The game will hatch a pokemon, and check if the pid/tidsid combo is a shiny Pokémon, and show it accordingly. However, after this, the current player's TIDSID will be written to the Pokémon. This means you are rolling again whether the Pokémon is shiny. This can be done for any egg, but is infamous for manaphy. It also explains why manaphy is never shiny on the hatching screen, since it's original pid never matches the shinyness for the tidsid. But after hatching in a different game, could be modified to be shiny after hatching! Also, this means that this streamer hatched an egg that happened to be shiny on the original game it was bred!

So if the egg was bred to be shiny on the original game, it will look shiny on the hatching screen, then become un-shinied if the current game's tidsid doesn't match the shinyness of the pokémon's pid.

That is one thing I dislike about the current Discord popularity. Everyone hides their information in individusal Discords that can't be searched and you only have access to it if you happen to be a member of that specific Discord server and are able to find it hidden among years of chat messages. I'm still more of a fan of GameFAQs, as old as it is, because the guides and even board posts are a lot more search-able. Though one thing I have found in recent years, not even just in video game related stuff, is there are so many people posting fake troll information and memes that sometimes it's hard to find the real accurate information when there's so much troll information. More than once I've had trouble figuring out what was real and what was fake because of all the memes and troll information floating around on a topic I was trying to investigate.

I want to throw these three things out here and see if anyone else experienced these or if my mind completely fabricated these events (which is totally possible given that I was just a kid) 1. Using the explorer kit in some spots (I believe where items are placed in the overworld) won't let you go underground. I'm sure this is just something in the code but I only ever tested one spot, just outside of Solaceon Town and I'm curious what other spots are out there. 2. I'm sure at one point while hatching Croagunk eggs the pattern on the egg shell was different, mirrored I think? But there wasn't anything else unusual about it. Didn't hatch many eggs in D/P/Pt so maybe this was normal? 3. This one is a long shot and I can't stress that enough but I remember just battling a wild Pokémon with my Empoleon and the battle UI changed from white to grey, text font changing too. Only for that battle though, I feel like I remember pressing buttons, tapping along to the battle music and being freaked out by the sudden change. I'll be totally honest, I'm not fully convinced that I didn't just dream this and it's somehow become a false memory but on the off chance it's actually a thing, no harm mentioning it right? :P

@@ArtzyZero 1 is intended behaviour, some spots where NPC's *could* spawn at any point do not allow using explorer kit. It's a bit wonky since the NPC doesn't currently have to be on that tile to limit you, but they had to prevent you coming up inside an NPC.

I wonder if that person ever responded or we’re lucky is sitting in the comments section right now.

ive probably got a thousand hours in the battle factory just playing for fun and i believe if you run 2 separate streaks at the same time (lv 50, lv 100) one of them can reset if the other gets too high. haven't tested or heard of this anywhere else though. seen it maybe 3 times casually.

Discordification sucks. I only like it as a place to talk to my friends, hate it for anything else. Straight up ruined games I used to play because “why use a game to hangout in when you can use discord”. Those games are all pretty much abandoned. Me and my friends still go on games just to hang out and talk, discord not even needed

Yea there's no immersion in MMORPGs anymore because nobody's head is IN the game. They just have the game open while talking to people somewhere else

It didn't end with the tweaking glitch. There's always stuff to learn about glitches in these games.

Im glad this isnt another "the battle tower is actually rigged and it isnt skill based thats why I lost" video Edit: (To clarify, one of the thumbnails for the video has the text "Solved after 15 years" and not "Press B to lose" so it's not immediately obvious)

Does this work in multiplayer battle tower doubles lobbies? I wonder what happens in that instance when paired with a different version game. Probably a com error right?

Update: the other game that didnt do the glitch gets stuck on a "please wait" screen forever, platinum does a funny thing where the communication icon gets glitchy but you can play normally. Once the connection is severed you get the comm error

On my GBA copy of Super Mario World (Super Mario Advance 2) back when I was a kid, I managed to casually hit the frame-perfect gray yoshi glitch where if your yoshi dies the exact frame a bullet bill spawns, your yoshi will come back gray with glitched properties after the level ends. For 2 decades I thought I was crazy because I'd never seen proof that this glitch existed on non-SNES versions of the game, but my old cart still had the save data when I finally got the ability to capture it: kzitem.info/news/bejne/23eDk4qekYlya6Q

Well this would have been useful to know when I was going for the Multi Ability Ribbon, since I had it happen to me several times... For some reason I just attributed it to old/buggy hardware and didn't think to post about it or even look it up.
