Gonna share a story because it was something weird that happened

one time i was playing pokemon and i dont know what happened i guess the cartridge got nudged and instead of a regular battle i was suddenly playing a game like tekken against ash with his indigo league team

I'm not joking, you know. This really happened.

Yeah. Happened to me before. Ending up battling a lvl 0 Tangela with unlimited HP in Silver because of that

My trainer house in Gold was fucked beyond repair. I couldn't tell you exactly what I did to cause it - based on searching around it was either corrupted mystery gift, bad cloning, or corrupted link battle* - but I ended up with a trainer with a long garbage name.

I honestly don't remember the battle itself, so either it crashed on its own, or I freaked out and turned the game off. (For some reason I also remember a lot of glitched text and graphics during the pre-battle walk, but I can't find any record of anyone having a similar experience so I'm pretty sure my pea brain made that up.)

(* I can't remember the details of this one either, just that the cable was loose and that probably fucked everything up. Nothing like another trainer getting sent out, though.)

I remember one time in Silver I was Surfing, then came back up on land, and my character kept flashing back and forth between the player sprite and the Lapras sprite. I think I turned off my Game Boy in a panic, and it never happened again. Could never recreate it again, either.

One of my friends had bought his Pokemon Gold in Egypt and when i fought him I has the exact same happen to me.

Yeah, messing with the Link Cable during battles does some weird things for some reason, OP.

I distinctly remember my brother and friend battling and their battle got glitched up kinda hard. My bro was fighting against a Granbull with health that visibly broke the health bar.

Friend wasn't using Granbull either.

Im sure it happened to others, though a lot of people here started with Gen 3.
