It's a bit convoluted, but basically, you could teach any pokémon any move, as long as it learned Mimic. They only finally solved the problem in Platinum the glitch is still there, but now you need the event flags from the Oak's Letter and Member Card for Darkrai and Shaymin to appear. but then people discovered the tweaking glitch, which was present since the earliest versions. They fixed it in later versions of JP DP (and obviously, US and EUR DP). It was in a tile by the outer limits of the map, so, if you used Surf on the first E4 room's door, you'd get in the 'black space' of the map and could go pretty much anywhere (except for Hall of Origin, unfortunately). I guess that was the very first (and only?) time a glitch crossed generations. Amazingly, this glitch existed in ADV, but no one ever noticed it because lol Pursuit was a special move and we only had Choice Band back then. In JP DP, if the first move your Choicemon used while on the field was Pursuit, and it hit a fleeing pokémon, you would not be locked on it the next turn. I think 4th Gen had the best glitches, as they made it seem GF simply had no beta testers by then.įirst, the free Pursuit glitch.
