Glitches Get Stitches! (Glitches old and new, and how to fix them)



Hey Trainers!

Today I’ll be going over glitches that have been found so far in Pokémon X and Y, and some cool Pokémon merchandise I recently got!


The first glitch I’d like to talk about, is actually one from the first Pokémon games Red and Blue. This is because there is actually a reoccurrence of the glitch in Pokémon X and Y!

The Games That Started It All!
Back in 1996 when Red and Blue first came out, many found a special Pokémon no Pokedex has ever recorded, a mysterious glitch referred to as Missingno or Missing Number, no. for short. This “Pokémon” took extreme effort to find, requiring you to speak to certain characters and surf on the exact right spot of Cinnabar Island. This glitch, while having the power to multiply your rare candies and Master Ball, could also destroy your save file!
No Rare Candies For You!
When all this was done you could find all sorts of things such as starter Pokémon, Pokémon over level 100, and of course Missingno! Missingno could be found at several different level caps, ranging from 8 to over 100. If caught the summary would reveal it to be a flying type with Peck, Water Gun, and Sky Attack. Not only was he a totally new Pokémon, but after encountering it the sixth item in your bag increased to insane numbers. If you saved your Master Ball you could use Missingno to make hundreds of them and easily fill the Pokedex!

Unfortunately Missingno also came with negative effects. If caught, Missingno could possibly corrupt your save file and force you to restart the game! Luckily in X and Y Missingno is much less threatening. In a screenshot found by a fellow Pokémon Trainer, it shows Missingno in the shadows of a building entrance in Lumiose 
Missingno Returns!
By now you may have heard that if you save in certain areas of the game, it can corrupt your save file! Like Missingno, this could force you to start your adventure over or break your game cartridge completely! Fortunately, Nintendo has addressed the problem and released an update to fix this issue. If you are unable to update your system, then Nintendo has also released images of where saving would cause this problem.
Save At Your own Risk

Another Glitch that is leaving many Pokémon fans upset, is a software issue that fill up your boxes and can delete Pokémon after Wonder Trading. While at first thought to be hackers, it now is speculated that this is a very rare glitch in the game that when Wonder Trading, you can receive what is being called a “Bad Egg.”
Look Out For Bad Eggs

If you receive an egg through Wonder Trade, know that there is a possibility it is a serious threat to your game file. Reports show that the egg when placed in the PC will multiply, occupying all PC slots. If allowed to fill all the spots, the egg can actually replace Pokémon in the PC with more “Bad Eggs.” This has only been reported by a small amount of players, but is still something to watch out for when Wonder Trading.

Lastly, I recently bought a Play-mat for the Pokémon Trading Card Game from one of my favorite organizations of Pokémon players! This organization is known as The Top Cut, all the members are experience PTCG players and do a lot to support the Pokémon community. They’ve helped organize and create the first Pokémon TCG tournament not licensed by Play Pokémon, Called the Klaczynski Open.
First Independent Tournament!

As of now they are having a sale of Play-mats for 25$ which is pretty cheap considering the quality and size of the mat! I’d like to mention that I’m in no way affiliated with the group, but support their input to the Pokémon community and think helping them out is great, especially if you get an awesome play-mat out of it! Not to mention my mat came with a Pokémon card signed by the group leader Kyle “Pooka” Sucevich himself! So if you’re interested, check out The Top Cut for the mat and all kinds of other Pokémon Information!

That’s it for today Trainers, To Be continued!
