    Thought this was interesting enough to may be worth an article.

    Basically, SciresM (known hacker of Nintendo stuff including Pokemon games) has been poking around at the code in said games, and found some things out.

    Basically - the way they are calculating things like gender ratios is incorrect. Also the 3DS games are very inefficient.

    Thoughts?
     
    I really enjoy reading about bugs like this in popular games, so I think it would be an interesting article. Would it just be those three examples or are there more? Are you planning on providing a basic description of your own or just quoting the tweet?
     
    This seems interesting to me. My only issue is that the title may be a little confusing to some. When I first read "Mistakes in Pokemon Coding unearthed" I initially though that this was about common ROM-hacking/Fan Game creation mistakes that people make or something along those lines. So maybe make it a bit more obvious that this is about faulty coding of official main series titles? Otherwise, +1

    Just these three unless there's more found just now. Part of the interest to me here is that it's taken many years for these errors to come to light! And I plan to elaborate more - I'll include the tweets but explain more on why they are interesting issues.

    Yeah, title could be better. "Mistakes found in main series Pokemon game coding" maybe? I welcome other ideas, haha.
