    Korean Nationals finalists disqualified after protest

    This happened 2 days ago but felt like it was worth making a post about. (I'd post in the VGC forum but there's been literally 1 post there in the last 3 weeks and this deserves more visibility.) Sequence of events: May 14: Korean Nationals qualifier. Glitches in the game cause loops of...

    Keeping unnerfed base stats after 1.0.1?

    For the legendary quartet that got nerfed base stats between 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1, is it possible to keep the unnerfed base stats by first catching one in 1.0.0, putting it into the party, and then updating? What happens if you battle (either offline or online) after that? If I understand correctly...

    Game Freak to present at CEDEC 2022 about Pokemon modeling

    Front-loading the bad news: CEDEC (Computer Entertainment Developers Conference) is a paid-tuition conference for developers formerly held in an in-person venue in Yokohama, Japan. It's going digital this year because Covid, but a conference pass still costs ~$385 and events can only be viewed...

    The Pokemon Company doubles their annual profit compared to last fiscal year

    (I tried to find the original source in Japanese but could only find data going back to 2018: https://kanpo.tremolo.work/company/8128) TPC's fiscal years go from March 1 to February 28, so the most recent year is from 2021-03-01 to 2022-02-28. So apparently they made over €300 million in...

    Game Corners will now be rated PEGI 18 (equivalent to ESRB AO)

    You may have already seen this all over a bunch of websites, but PEGI decided today that simulated gambling will now receive the same age rating as real gambling: 18. (Of course, lootboxes don't count and get to keep their 3 rating. The loophole is "because they don't actually depict a...

    Gen 4 New(?) Platinum glitch - Giratina Forme change stat glitch

    First documented way back in December 2009 in French, but not documented in English until 2 days ago. Original video English video So what this glitch actually does is outside of battle, allows Giratina to change Forme without changing its stats. So it's possible to switch Giratina-O's...

    All Gens Theorymon: Anything Goes in Gens 1-5

    After seeing that Showdown had a ladder for Gen 4 Anything Goes, I started wondering how an Anything Goes metagame would look like in all generations before Gen 6. Some initial thoughts: Assumptions: Just like how Gen 6+ Anything Goes still has the Endless Battle Clause, I'm assuming that...

    Gen 4 New glitch discovery - Lv80 Arceus now obtainable in D/P

    http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=7770.0 Surprised no one's posted this already - it's been out for four days and has an effect on Gen IV Ubers. TL;DR: GCL Forums user Cryo discovered how to encounter Arceus through the tweaking/void glitch, something that was believed impossible...

    15/15/15/15 DVs are impossible (in most cases)

    Sooo... http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pokémon_Red/Blue_Wild_DVs Didn't see this mentioned here yet, but it turns out that thanks to Generation I's RNG and how random wild encounters are handled, only a small fraction (~10%) of the 65,536 theoretical sets of DVs are actually...

    What happened to the overviews on the StrategyDex?

    From what I've heard they were removed intentionally, but what was the reasoning behind this? They were very useful as an at-a-glance look that summed up everything.

    Mew/Celebi/Jirachi/Deoxys Glitch discovered for Pokemon Emerald

    The video explains it more in-depth than I can. Who knew the Pomeg Glitch would end up being so powerful? EDIT: Video replaced with one that shows the complete process from start to finish. It successfully hatches a Jirachi.

    Can the "Slender Make-up 3" item from Join Avenue recreate the Pomeg Glitch?

    With B2/W2 released in English and more people being able to access the games, I thought I'd repost this. Recall that at Lv100, a Pomeg Berry causes HP to lower by 2 points (10 EVs). Both max HP and current HP are affected, so a Pokemon with (200/400) HP would drop to (198/398). The glitch in...

    Jap Ditto Glitch?

    I've seen several threads having info on a "Ditto Glitch" only working on Jap D/P that involves getting any moveset onto a Ditto, then using it in breeding for illegal egg move combinations. Can someone tell me how this works?
