strangest thing...
 
The strangest thing happened to me today i started a new game im at 2hours so far and i have pokeballs i was searching around in the grass near the start and a charmander appeared is this a glitch or a screwed up ruby version? i mean it it really happened i thought the old pokemon could not appear in ruby...

Trikip January 3rd, 2005 2:30 PM

Hmm...that is weird! Must be a glitch, since Charmander isn't in Ruby/Sapphire. Did you catch it? Just wondering ^^.

smithy.boy January 3rd, 2005 2:32 PM

odd....i only thought that was possible on hacks. must be a glitch.
lol i would have caught it, a charmander (evolve twice) and bingo, makes game easier

PsYchOtiC January 3rd, 2005 2:45 PM

did you catch it?!

where exactly did you find it? (what route)

Darth Revan January 3rd, 2005 3:48 PM

Yeh i caught it it was only lv3though much better then torchic and it was on route 101 its helpful but strange to seeand if you need proof well come to my house lol.

Aaron5367 January 3rd, 2005 4:14 PM

Weird...
 
Yeah that is pretty strange. How old is your game cartrige? That may be the problem because as game cartrages age they get dirty and stuff witch may of been the problem.. And its probly just a one time you lucky person glitch (a.k.a it wont happen agien). Or you may be lyeing... One or the other....

Thanks,
Aaron

Darth Revan January 3rd, 2005 4:17 PM

I think its around 7months old i did drop it once thou and i let my friend play it when im not around so i have no idea he may have screwed around with it but its 100%true
i wish it would happen again thou.

Aaron5367 January 3rd, 2005 4:20 PM

Well if your friend "played around with it" he may have put in some codes (gameshark,action replay,ect.). and the droping wouldent of done it... everyones droped games before. Ohh well... Just have fun with your charmander....

Thanks,
Aaron

Darth Revan January 3rd, 2005 4:23 PM

Wait dont gameshark and action relpay codes wear off after you turn the game off thou?

Aaron5367 January 3rd, 2005 4:27 PM

...
 
Some do some dont here are some examples...

-----never turn off-----
All badges
all pokemon glitched
all pokemon able to catch in wild
(almost everything with all)
----mannually turn off----
always catch (your pokemon here)
float
(dont start with all)

Thanks,
Aaron

i reckon your making this up.there is only two ways to get a charmander in sapphire/ruby.unless your friend used some kind of gameshark code.and glitched your game up.

1,use a code.
2,trade it from leaf green or fire red.

Mr Cat Dog January 13th, 2005 8:04 AM

Sometimes something goes wrong in the production process of almost any product. It may seem that the chip in the cartridge released Charmander as an available character, instead of one jsut recognised when traded.

Either that, or you're lying, you used GS/AR, or you traded it from FRLG which also counts as lying :P

Kitsune_girl January 13th, 2005 8:27 AM

Cartridges can get messed up and glitch like that, it happend to me on some tomagotchi game once. I turned it on and I had every tomagotchi in my hall of fame once, and the ones that I were raising were all glitchy like missingno. I went back to normal though when I turned it on and off...


Also, I know lots of people who have seen a question mark in a ball appear and when they catch it it was a bad egg:\

Any way, Lucky you! Now you can get a Charizard n_n

deathbyalice January 13th, 2005 8:37 AM

That's kind a weird...probably just a glitch though. Still I would want a Charizard in my Ruby/Sapphire game...

Happy Dude January 13th, 2005 1:31 PM

yeah.anyway have fun with your charizard.

Dratini927 January 13th, 2005 6:13 PM

Your friend (who wasn't around you at the time) must've used some sort of cheating device on it for a Charmander to pop up. That's really the only explination for it, or like Cat Dog said, you may have gotten a very rare Cart. that just had a messed up chip, and auto-glitched. But most likely your friend used a cheating device. How about you ask that friend if he/she did? :P

ultimate mewmaster January 26th, 2005 4:04 PM

Lucky! i want a :10: on my ruby..............

Happy Dude January 26th, 2005 4:36 PM

well if you want one then just get fire red or leaf green and trade it over ultimate Mewmaster.

Wolf_Goddess January 26th, 2005 6:02 PM

Perhaps it was a glitch, Like Missingno or M is on Red/Blue. Perhaps at first, Nintendo let you catch wild charmander when they first started making it, then took it out. Maybe you the lucky one that it didn't happen to. But, Its just a guess...Nothing wrong with that, though.

Lion Heart January 27th, 2005 12:41 AM

Then again it never happened.

You cannot catch any pokemon in places they aren't meant to be without a gameshark.

Simply because each area in the game where you catch pokemon has pre-defined what pokemon are able to be caught there with a percentage on it.

You did not catch Charmander in the wild, at least not without a Game Shark.

A gameshark messed up your game and it got saved that way

SkinnyGreenMan January 29th, 2005 5:20 PM

There are times when pokemon that aren't supposed to be caught in a certian area appear by some random glitch that wasn't ment to be. My friend (no cheating device) caught a Lediba in Gold (or whichever one lediba is unobtainable in; I think he had gold), and I have heard of people seeing a pokemon with a value outside of 386 (shows up as a questionmark-like thing). Like MCD said, manufactured things (or any physical object for that matter) can mess up ever once in a while. I'm certian Nintendo didn't intend this, and, while it is possible a gameshark was used, it is not the only possibility. The one question I have is did the charmander show up in pokedex, or not?

Darth Revan February 2nd, 2005 1:41 PM

Nope it did not show up at all and i also saw a pigey a couple days back i didnt catch it thou cause no use having a stupid little pigey but i am quite thankful for my charmander which evolved and is now lv 39 but the thing is it hardly ever listens to my comands which is really annoying.

THIRTY-SIX February 2nd, 2005 1:49 PM

sweetie do you have the appropriate badges and it may be that it is a hacked game on a cartridge in pakistan most games are XD

Sharked Pokemon, I believe, do not show up.

Lady Demoonica Darkmoon February 5th, 2005 6:25 PM

Well I won't say if it was cheat caught or not, BUT I know for a fact that the pokemon I traded over from COLOSSEUM to Ruby/Saphire didn't show up on the pokedex until I linked up with Fire/Leaf and it updated the pokedex to national dex...

So Charmander, even one caught in game, wouldn't show on the dex.

Mr Cat Dog February 6th, 2005 2:00 AM

You definitely need to have the National Dex for Pokemon from other games to show up in the dex. The game will recognise it, but won't produce any info on it until you hae traded with FRLG.

treecko912 February 6th, 2005 5:16 PM

wow thats relly strang how u found a charmander it probly has ur freand that typed in a cheat

that's odd, about it not listening to you... i guess it was just a glitch. maybe the programmers were messing around and put it in, but didn't take it out properly, or left it in as a joke. they did that on spyro the dragon with the squid skateboard! does the charizard have any odd stats? maybe you can charmanders in every game, its just a glitch, but the possibility is like 1000000000000 to 1! you were very lucky!
