Wierd GTS Glitch
 
has this happened to you guys? i have been surfing GTS on a number of occasions when i see a glitch. say i look up a Mew. a trainer will show up (i think its always a psychic, but im not sure) and the name will say:

Dialga/
Mew

and the picture of the Pokemon will be a Dialga, not a Mew like i looked up, but the rest of the ones are fine. Anyone get this?

This happens when you nickname a pokemon a different one. Then, the nicknamed pokemon must ask for the nickname.

In your case, Mew (nicknamed Dialga) was offered asking for a Dialga. Then the sprite changes.

but why would the picture of the Pokemon change? is it only cuz u changed the nickname?

Yes, if you mispell the nickname or do not ask for the nicknamed pokemon, the glitch will not happen. I can't really explain in detail why it happens though.

but i just get the feeling they're glitched, cuz they seem to be untouched for months at a time. or is that just cuz the sprite is different?

Sometimes pokemon get what I call "stuck" in the GTS. This used to happen with a Mew (nicknamed Gyarados) asking for a Gyarados any. When I tried to trade, it would say "Sorry, this pokemon has been traded to another trainer." But when I logged off and logged back on, the Gyarados would still be there and the same thing would happen. The Mew is no longer there but it was pretty strange. The same thing happened with a Celebi (nicknamed Dialga). So I think this happens with nicknamed Pokemon.

EDIT: Actually for Mew and Celebi to be nicknamed, they would have to be hacked. So that may be a reason.

Yeah that has happened to me a lot too, I guess that's why...

BTW last I checked there was a shiny Driflblim on there for a Deoxys.

Celebi would be but not necessarily Mew (but I doubt it if the name is in English at any point or any other language besides Japanese). A nameable Mew can only be obtained via Emerald Faraway Island in the Japanese versions :\ chances of getting one....slim to none.
