- If you end an encounter in a draw, the game will behave as if you lost, but the victory jingle will still play anyways.
- You can evolve a Pokemon that requires a stone to evolve without using an item by leveling it up in battle, and then finishing the battle with a Pokemon with a hexadecimal identifier equal to the needed stone.
- All items intended to quadruple attack accuracy actually quarter it instead. Whoops.
- Some of the hidden items in the Japanese releases of Red and Green just have flat-out incorrect coordinates for the itemfinder’s reference, and if you pick up one out of this set of six miscoded items, the other five become unobtainable.
- The aforementioned hidden items can, however, somehow be made obtainable again by moving a fossil item out of your inventory.
- You can use the storage system to get yourself a party of only fainted pokemon. This results in the player character blacking out four steps after leaving the PC
- If you catch a Pokemon that has used transform, via legitimate moveset, use of metronome, or otherwise, the game will just assume it was a ditto once it’s in your possession.
- You can end the encounter with the Ghost Marowak without a Sylph Scope by just throwing a Pokedoll at it.
- Catching an ‘M with a Hexadecimal identifier of 00 will leave behind an invisible but otherwise Completely Normal Ditto with its previous moveset at level 0 or 80 that needs to be caught or defeated before the battle can properly end. These games have been out for twenty years and we still don’t know why this happens.
- You can buy any of the drinks in the Celadon vending machines as long as you have enough to buy a Fresh Water.
- Walking around enough with Pikachu off screen in Yellow can just completely destroy the game for some reason.
- If you force a glitch Pokemon with a hexadecimal value of FF into your party, the game will treat it as a hybrid of both Charizard and the cancel button. The game treats this whole scenario about as well as you would expect.
- Attempting to use the Mew Encounter exploit with a Pokemon with a special stat of over 250 results in encountering a glitch trainer who causes the game to just flip the absolute fuck out when trying to calculate how much money to award you afterwards. This causes the relevant memory poiner to shoot off to god knows where, and as a result it just sets a solid two hundred unrelated hexadecimal values in the game to 99 in the process, filling your party with level 153 Bulbasaur that can only use explosion.
Something I’ve been meaning to doodle ever since I watched how mario can traverse alternate realities for the purpose of opening a door
for some reason I decided he does all his math on the unsubmerged moat walls
IT’S FUN TO STAY AT THE
usually I’d worry that the sudden flood of “tag yourself” posts would quickly oversaturate the market, but honestly, this meme seems almost impossible to get sick of?
- there’s a bunch of different categories (mspaint animals, group photos, etc) (special agents, cutesy friends, etc)
- even within a category, the exact choices are always pretty different
- even if it’s the exact same post, every reblog is different b/c you learn abt the reblogger
- it doesn’t trick you into wasting time: you can spend 10 minutes deciding who you are if you want to, or you can easily scroll past the short, distinctive posts.
- it’s interactive
- it’s personalized
- it’s multi-layer: there’s the entertainment of the original choices, then the entertainment of deciding which is most relatable, and the memeyness of the entire trend
- speaking of which, relatable things are always fun
i love this meme
the two biggest memes on my dash are “de facto speed” and “tag yourself as one of these”
and honestly these are the purest memes ive seen in years good job everyone
2016 is looking like a very good year for memes tbh
Does anyone remember fanfiction from like 2001 to 2004 tho?
-wacky, highly out of character ‘sleepovers’ with the villains of the series
-not bothering to research the culture the series originated from (we live in Japan but for some reason we’re celebrating a westernized version of Christmas?)
-sugar highs??? the entire cast has eaten sugar and now randomness ensues!!1!
-really surreal oneshots taking a completely illogical idea to the highest possible level played completely for laughs (re: maybe Harry was so good at flying because He Was A Broom All Along)
-user guides for characters (as if they’re adoptable robots)
-disclaimer at the beginning of the story, end of the story,
used as page breaks in the middle of the story I DO NOT OWN THIS PLEASE
DON’T SUE I’M DIRT POOR-author’s notes at the beginning of the story, end of
the story, used as page breaks in the middle of the story, LOL I WROTE
THIS AT ONE IN THE MORNING PLEASE REVIEW-nutshell/condensed retellings of the series, again usually humorous
-AUs where everything except the main character’s names are completely different that have no real connections to the series (High School AUs are EVERYWHERE)
-The writer’s favourite character isn’t dead and the rest of the cast questions it once and then never mentions it again
-the writer talking to the characters in script form before the story actually starts
“R/R! Don’t like, don’t read! Flames will be fed to (insert fandom reference here) XP XD”
honestly the further you go down the people doing truly bizarre overcomplicated things with games rabbit hole the weirder it gets
for example, here’s someone using a careful series of actions in super mario world to program pong and snake into the game, and then play them:
do not fall in love with people like spiders georg. he will take you to caves, and caves, and caves, and eat spiders in each beautiful place so you can never go back to them without tasting him like spiders in your mouth. and finally, when he leaves, you will understand, why he is an outlier adn should not have been counted
