Hi,
maybe some of u have already noticed these but I still think it's kinda odd...

First: On route 35 there's a guy below the grass on the right hand side. Normally trainers have exclamation points if u stand in front of them don't they? This one don't. He'll only fight if u talk to him.

Second: Go into the Burned Tower in Ecruteak City. Turn left where u have to use Rock Smash. There's a guy in an orange t - shirt. When I had beaten him his t-shirt has turned into grey! After going there again it was orange just like before...

I dunno if these things are strange but I've never noticed anything like that so far.

Yeah, they are a few trainers that you can only battle if you talk to them. The most notorious ones are the two police officers on Route 34 and 35. They only battle you at night.

For the second one, that Firebreather is suppose to turn grey. When you beat him, he says:

"I burned down to white ashes."

Once you are back onto the map, you'll notice that his sprite literally burned down to white ashes.

That was the cool thing about gold. I wish they did things like that in D/P and Platinum.

It's been seven years since I've played Silver. :| I can't believe how time flies by that quickly!

I do remember the policemen though. I think one of 'em had a Growlight. (sp?)
It is actually spelled Growlithe.

Anyway, both of them had only one Growlithe and I believe they were at Level 17 if I recall correctly.

Well sweetie, the first one was intentional. According to the that particular trainer's script coding. I assume to they did on purpose to surprise you with an unsuspected battle.

The second one is just a glitch with the assigned palette with the overworld sprites. It happened before, anybody remembering seeing a green Nurse Joy in Fuchsia City?

I should know this since I hack Gold inside and out. XD

and you didn't need to talk to them to battle.
They were like normal trainers at night. theyd walk up to you.

If i remember correctly :#
Yeah! Because "the night is suspicious"! XD
I wish they still did that in DP, that was cool..even if you talk to them during the day they won't battle. You have to wait until night.

Sorry for bothering you with strange translations at wich you don't probably care at all, but I think it's funny with the second odd fact, in the french translation he says he's getting sick, so it's possible that it's another thing in the original japanses version.

Then, you know the there were a part of the day called "morning" and it was removed from Pearl and Diamond, and I just realize that the chipset colors were a little bit different in the day that in the morning, although I'd been playing this game for 8 years ;_;

Sorry for my english, it's sometimes bad.

That's true. Evidence of this is in the Pokedex! When you look at a Pokemon in the dex and select "area" (where you find it), on the touchscreen is the little icon (which is moveable via stylus to either direction) to say what time of day it's available (and the above map changes to correspond for obvious reasons). And the sequence is Morning, Day, and Night. So there you go!

The police guy only challenges you at night, because he thinks you look suspicious going around at night. I mean, if you talk to him in the day he battles you also, but he gets the exclamation point at night.
