You're right; I was thinking of some other glitch that existed in both.

I'm not super well-versed in the history of glitches in Japan, but I think the major glitch that got really famous in Japan was the select button glitch, which was fixed in Yellow and all localizations, and I'm pretty sure that can result in glitch Pokémon, so my assumption would be if the Old Man glitch wasn't available there, that's probably how Japanese players would have gotten to know Missingno. and company.

"and in Red and Blue (and their Japanese counterparts)"

Not to be nitpicky a whole 10 months later, but from what I've read (e.g. https://glitchcity.wiki/wiki/Old_man_glitch#Compatibility and https://github.com/pret/pokered/wiki/Left-Shore-can-spawn-Pok%C3%A9mon ), it sounds like the coast glitch actually didn't exist in the Japanese Red, Green, or Blue versions, and it was an error introduced in the localization process (and then fixed again in all versions of Yellow).

That said, now I'm wondering how Japanese players discovered MissingNo., and also how such a non-text-related bug could've been introduced in localization…

Commenting on: The Battle Tower

I think I'm 25 years too late for this, but cool website. Got any tips for assembling a team that rocks the battle tower?

Let's give this a try!

This helped me catch Lugia in a basic Poke Ball after I learned that there's no reason to get it down to 1 HP, just 49% or lower. Huge time saver, thanks!

Enigmatico

Catch mechanics are weird because I caught Ho-Oh in HGSS with my very first ultra ball in the very first try, but I'm 40 ultra balls and I still haven't caught Suicune despite having the same catch rate.

Wow, I had a hardcoded list there and it was just missing Clefairy somehow all this time. Thanks! It should be fixed now in every calculator.

Lily

Clefairy doesn't seem to get a catch rate boost from Moon Balls in the calculator from gen 6/7 and onward.

I don't see any reason to put my face on this website. It's just not relevant! I grew up on an internet where you had no idea what anyone you interacted with on it looked like and I honestly liked that more than today's modern internet full of everyone's faces; I like judging people by their words and ideas and the aesthetic elements they choose to represent themselves instead of by the appearance of their flesh prison.

I dunno about Eurovision next year, but there wasn't all that much of a stir around boycotting it this year and I'd support doing it again if nothing changes.

Like elsewhere, unfortunately Iceland cares much less about women's sports than men's. I didn't hear much hype about the women's team qualifying in 2022 or 2025, but bear in mind I'm not a sports person so I don't tend to notice what's going on with sports much unless it's really prominent. I very much did notice when we qualified for the men's European championships several years back, though, because it was utterly inescapable. The day of one of the games the driver of the public bus I took to work had his bus all decked out with Icelandic flags and stopped on the way to have everyone do the 'Viking clap'. Never saw that happen around the women's team.

Welp, time to suffer with this 0.635% catch rate!

Bryn

Also, one last question, will you ever do a face reveal?

Bryn

Also, how popular is women's international football in Iceland. Just wondering since Iceland's Women's team often qualify for the Women's version of the European Championships. In 2022 and 2025 when they qualified how big of a deal was it at the time in Iceland and what was the hype like?

Bryn

With regards to Eurovision, do you think Iceland will enter next year?

And were there any people there angry about not entering. I saw a poll that said only 60% of Icelanders were in favour of boycotting it.

Commenting on: Rant: Overrated

I think the surfacing of fans caring whether their favorite is popular or not is inevitable with a franchise the size of Pokemon. Within the culture, fans have some sort of pride they build around their views on the games, what's your favorite gen, what that says about you, and so on. Really it shouldn't matter what others think, but it's not surprising that people DO care about something so arbitrary as the average fan's thoughts on your favorite.

In response to: post by Dylan

Here’s a tip: there is an official Pokédex website that you can use. I usually use it to scoff at how Terapagos does not fit in with Koraidon and Miraidon, but it can be used for everything.

Commenting on: Is Pokémon Childish?

Thanks. I may not be an adult, but middle school is hard, and as someone who doesn’t have popular kid qualities, it is even harder. I recently started watching the anime again, and I was hesitant to do so. But this did allow me to see I’m not the only person in this situation, and that who I am is who I am. I don’t have to change for a group who I don’t know, let alone a group who annoys me 80% to death. So thank you for letting me know I can enjoy what I want.

I think the most difficult part has been some of the community management aspects, broadly speaking; when you try to maintain a community of a bunch of disparate people on the internet, you're going to get all sorts of drama going on around you that you have to try to navigate, and that's challenging even for an adult, let alone a teen. But I think I managed okay, overall.
