4th Gen HGSS Glitches Thread

[The Doctor]

I was doing my SoulSilver Dratini Solo Run on an Emulator.

This was Soul Silver USA VERSION! And i had just put my Totodile into the box and when i came out of it things had turned like this, i went outside then back in then everything was fine.

Weird Eh?

^^ Yeah, but that could have just been the emulator/the game file, not necessarily a glitch.

Also, what would tweaking be useful for in this game? just curious since we know know we can do it from above^^^^

You're right, that's almost definitely an emulator problem. When I was playing SS in Desmume the overworld would occasionally just cut off and freeze sometimes. Not had any similar problems on the real thing.

Okay, two things.

One- What is tweaking used for in this game? Celebi event?

Two- The third glitch you posted, Team Fail, is a more-or-less major glitch. But, I want to try that out.

There are a few errors with battle sprites, due to the palettes being changed. For example, Elekid's back sprite has the light and medium shades of yellow switched around (between the 'light' and dark shades, you can see dots of the real light shade).

EDIT: Also, the Pokémon sprites going through things on the map is due to the way the graphics engine works. The game has a angled camera (which gives the perspective effect); this means that the character sprites have to always be angled towards the camera so they don't look squashed. As such, all the sprites on the map (not 3D models, like signs or houses) are actually significantly leaning backwards. Taller sprites, such as certain Pokémon, will therefore end up partially going through vertical objects.

I noticed that when you use fly in battle, moves like cross chop and wake up slap will still hit you.

thats because you were most probably fighting a Machamp with the ability no guard which gives all moves 100% accuracy
