Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

[Catgirl Tyranid]

Imagine the guy from Reddit had a cursed version of pkmn blue with Pokémon removed it's typing by force. Like a Charizard who got his wings cut off or a paraplegic lapras with broken fins. Then the Lavender town theme played and everyone died.

A Weedle with its head stinger sawed off. Bug type.

A Paras that's mushrooms. Not a Pokemon, just mushrooms that kill you if you eat them.

A Slowbro without its Shelder. Sadly, just a Slowpoke.

A Pidgey. Bird type.

A Bulbasaur that's just a fucking toad. Normal type. No Grass, no poison.

i know, i know, super impressive

Since I have not actually made it to Gen 9 yet, I don't know how impressive that is or isn't.
So I award you a tentative three (3) claps.

it's not impressive because shinyhunting in pokemon scarlet/violet is so easy even a retard can do it.

I just realised if you mix Slowbro with Starmie, the other water/psychic type, you'll get Patrick Star.

4chan's currently shitting its pants over Z-A supposedly having 27 new Megas

the schizophrenic story continues with "the full roster":

supposedly, the two missing spaces are Eelektross and Malamar.

All of this is completely unsourced, out-of-the-ass type crap. It is still recommended to take it with a massive bag of salt. The guys leaking it have been known to post false information for years and the sole exception has not only not confirmed any of this directly (save for, supposedly:

• a total lack of new Pokémon in the game
• the number of megas (27, even though randoms are now claiming 32 and the same guy, Pyoro, said "there may be more than 27")
• Xerneas, Yveltal, and Mightyena not getting megas
• and the fact that all of this information is supposedly coming from "a list that circulated for a while in some private places" (this is almost certainly code for some dumb Discord server))

but also lost his Nintendo source that let him leak shit last year and threw a tantrum over it.

I'm only 98% disbelieving him because he clearly still has a source for TCG Pocket and, given the fact that megas are returning to the TCG, there's a very good chance that Pocket might have some set information related to promoting new megas (which makes me able to believe that he could've gotten this info legit), but it's a stretch and I don't trust him. Especially not with Centro the Nigger and Khu the Khuck breaking all of his information around the same time.

Spoiler: thoughts on the actual roster regardless of legitimacy

I'm almost tempted to believe this is fake because it's so fucking close to what I wanted near-exactly. A lot of underappreciated, generally under-the-radar mon with room for improvement but no thematic breathing room for an evolution getting big powerful buffs and some spotlight in a new game. It's a shame that the megas will probably be gone come gen 10, again, but fans will make the forms permanent so i'll be happy regardless.
I'm not even convinced that they'll fuck up all the designs given their recent track record with more derivative designs. All the derivative stuff in SV was honestly better than the original roster, even if it still had its fair share of stinkers, and some of these designs are low-enough of a bar already that you can't really make them worse (cough cough Barbaracle cough cough Zeraora) so I'm curious to see what they do if this is indeed the actual roster.

Additionally, I do appreciate how it gives at least one new mega to each type. It also gives Kalos some much-needed love (if this roster is true, then 1/7 of Kalos' original Pokémon will end up having a mega once this game is out) and helps even out the playing field by making megas less disproportionately balanced towards Hoenn in particular. I obviously had no problems with that, but it's nice to have some more balance for those with inferior tastes.

Spoiler: full schizo mode theory

The way this entire leak has come about is fucking schizophrenic and I have to talk about it. It all started with this tweet:



from Centro, the thieving bastard, followed almost immediately by similar tweets from Khu (who dropped a riddle), Ballguy, Pory_Leeks, and a bunch of other faggots in the same sphere.

Cue enormous meltdown on /vp/, where the previously dead board's activity spikes to release day levels of activity for no real reason, with a bunch of retards flooding in and, for some god forsaken reason, taking the word of several lying dunces who've been complete and utter jokes on the board for years as gospel.

Three threads reach hundreds of replies in less than a day on a board where anything outside of the generals or softcore porn takes several days to reach 100-200.


Leakers' stuff from twitter is reposted onto the board within minutes. Lots of obvious tourists flood in, questioning absolutely nothing and/or creating DOZENS of threads acting as if this stuff is the real deal, posting something new every 1 or 2 seconds. On a board that has spent the last month languishing in "1-reply-every-30-seconds" hell.

This was all yesterday. Come today, the board has almost entirely returned to its old state. There are still some threads on the topic, but almost none of them have been anywhere near as active and most of them haven't broken the 100 post threshold despite being on the board for nearly as much time as yesterday's super-active threads. Most of the leak threads are past page 5, barely posted on, and/or already dead.

The newest thread revolving around a development in the leak situation was posted 2 hours ago and currently has less than 20 replies.


Almost all of them are just making fun of the OP or asking for more information instead of blindly accepting the leaks as truth like the last few threads were.


This is all despite Centro still posting plenty often and the other leakers playing just as coyly.

Did some retard from Reddit organize a raid or something? Was this set up by the same guys with this "list" to astroturf it into looking real in which case I have to commend them because this is a very high-effort way of doing it and the leak isn't half bad? We may never know the answer.

Although all of this did happen a week away from April Fool's so maybe it was just a very early prank.

I swear to god I caught a black zubat in either LG or FR once. I talked about it on discord once and the most reasonable conclusion was that my Gameboy SP backlight shifted dark blues to black/gray

Reminds me that my brother swears to this day his Golbat on his original Blue version save file hated him. He had left it in the daycare for like half a year or so, and when he got it back sometime after beating the Elite Four (it wasn't at level 100), it was permanently disobeying him to the point it would just mostly hurt itself in battle. One such incident had it get in the way of its own Hyper Beam and faint (and apparently that was the actual text used), which his twin witnessed that happening and swears by it as well.

Massive PL but I miss creepypasta. I thought it was scary enough.

And now, you've made me recall when Mutahar was consistently good.

 

[30+GameOvers]

It took me:
*Several hours
*15 max repels
*Almost 200 total balls thrown
Just to catch one Deoxys, and when I did I was out on everything but Nest Balls. Gross, it doesn't fit it at all. On top of that, it was of a Careful nature, not ideal for a glass canon. I'm seeing that even tho you can technically catch as many legendary Pokemon as you want in this romhack, each one is still a massive undertaking, only being made worse by RNG. Might be fun to come back later and spend a day catching as many of a certain legendary as I can, for now I am just focusing on at least 1 of each before I move on.

Catching pokemon for me is an autistic thing. I hate it to be honest. (I really hate the first gen hat forces you to catch 60 to use good items in a playthrough).

Why catch 400 pokemon, when I will use just about 6? I am currently playing Unbound and I have a rooster of 13 pokemon that I cycle depending of the battles since it is actually quite hard to win the challenge ones.

Now one thing I hate about megas is how I have to actually find a megastone. If we can only use one mega per tram why not make a generic one so we can cycle through our team? I went and fought every single character in route 14 to be able to challenge Ocean Master, thinking: oh he will give me the Sharpedo mega stone, only for him to give me Gyarados.

Fucking shit.

Also unbound puzzles are fucking hard as fuck, why tho?

Wait, it gets worse: I just fired up the game and it turns out it took me 35 repels to finally encounter the one I caught, not 15. That was my last attempt, where I ran out of all my balls and just reset the game. Now I have to restock on Max Repels.
Catching all these legendaries isn't cheap, I will say that.

It matters if you're trading them to other games or building a collection, say a 15+ year old collection spanning several generations. Some pokemon like the legendary ones cannot be bred either, so if you want one with a good nature or IVs, you have to manually catch one.

>RIP Flygon

lol, here I am actually somewhat glad about it because a mega would make it even more indistinguishable from Garchomp

I'd much prefer a regional variant that makes Flygon into a special attacker. I truly think that's the best way forward and would help Flygon stand out way more than it currently does.

In gen 1 it's hard to say if it's a bug, mandela effect or good old trust me bro.
The get in the way stuff is far fetched but some things might occur.
As a kid playing pokémon red, suddenly in battle the foes oddish had a HP bar that made up the full width of the screen.
He didn't go down in multiple hits.
The move animations were normal but the text was weird glitched fragments and it said ROCK TUNNEL at one point for whatever reason.
It was this way for a few minutes until it finally fainted and everything returned to normal.
It's okay if you think I'm making things up for updoots. To be fair I wouldn't believe it if somebody was telling me, but that stuck to me.
It never occured again and nobody could tell me what it was, not even the Action Replay cracks.

I believe you, because the HP bar thing is exactly what I saw when I tried to do MissingNo-only E4 runs. The ROCK TUNNEL, and glitchy text also matches MissingNo-related problems.

One time, during one of those E4 runs, Bruno's Machamp had a sprite glitch that looked like Ho-Oh... And I went insane, because I thought I had "solved" one of the missingno sprites lmao

HP underflow.

https://youtu.be/SS3IidU4GI8?si=Qr2kqfTDjNikbxmY - you see it in effect here, go back a bit to see how it gets set up.

save might've had some corruption or oddity going on if you'd experimented with missingno or someone you traded with, possibly.

what sounds like in the golbats case is just "it hit itself in confusion" with the confusion stuff. mind was probably just convinced of the hyperbeam stuff because hyper beam had just been selected.

weird glitched fragments and it said ROCK TUNNEL at one point for whatever reason.

sounds like glitch city, might not be the actual rock tunnel but it pulled the byte date for the location tag, maybe. im wording this horribly lol

Bro has always been consistent about his Golbat story, his rage-filled bafflement every time he tells it makes it funnier.

Another "no one will ever believe you" story that I personally experienced was my first (maybe second save file because of a dumbass brother wanting to play it) playthrough of Silver. After releasing the Legendary Beasts, I left the Burned Tower and was walking through Ecruteak when suddenly, for a split second, one of the sprites

ran by on a rooftop and tree tile complete with the running soundeffect. I was blown away. Was in this area (red dots is the movement I saw the sprite go by).


No idea why that occured, and it never happened again even with repeated playthroughs (thanks, battery). Likely a really weird bug.
