6th Gen Pokemon Y - Bottom Screen Flicker Bug

[Punishment]

I was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue I'm currently experiencing. The Youtube link is a short clip illustrating my issue.

This bug only happens upon taking the first step when exiting a building or standing up from a bench. Upon the first step the bottom screen will dim for a second and return to it's previous level of brightness. Accompanying the dimming will be an electrical static buzz.

As far as I can tell it's nothing major and just annoying at worse. I did check my Pokemon and they are not afflicted by status effects.

If you are experiencing the same issue please post if you're using a 3DS or 3DSXL and if it's a digital download or cartridge.

I'm playing on a 3DS with the Y version digital download.

EDIT: Had to untag the Youtube link as it viewed it as broken.

Indeed, this happens for me. It's caused when changing between walking and using the roller skates, although I have no idea why it happens. And for the record, I'm using a physical copy of X.

Thanks for the response. For a moment there I thought I was the only one suffering with this issue and it might have been a hardware problem.

Hopefully it is a rather harmless unlike the Lumiose City save bug.

I'm not sure about the reason, but does it have something to do with Power Saving mode? ~_~

I've turned the Power Save function off and still get the issue.

I was able to eliminate the main issue to the transition between the running shoes and skates. This issue doesn't happen if I use Item Finder (meaning I'm not wearing skates).

Though this issue is only triggered upon exiting a building or standing up from a bench. If you stop in the field then continue skating it doesn't happen.

I assumed it was Power Saver Mode, but I guess not. I do experience the problem.

It would be nice if pokemon had fewer Black Out, White Out, Or sudden flashing like this. It is heck on the eyes at night.

 

[JayTheKing]

I think it is just natural.

I'm convinced that it's not a bug and it's more of a feedback to you switching from the roller stakes to normal walking. The black flash on the lower screen is just more of a strange design decision than anything else.

Mine does it too. I assumed that it's supposed to do that. It's not a bug.

 

[The Doctor]

Mine doesn't do that if it's any help. I'm using a physical copy of Y.

Scratch that, mine does it too. When I'm switching from walking to roller skating.

I guess the screen darkens when it can't be interacted with and I think what we hear is the sound of the player clipping/declipping its roller skates.
