Hitmaker: Homage?

== Name Romanization? ==

Rather than Fuuro, wouldn't it make more sense if it was Flow? Or Flo? I mean, if other names like Dento are changed to Dent, why not Fuuro to something like Flow? [[User:Loveon|Loveon]] 04:58, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:Well Dent was kind of obvious with Pod and Corn, but we really don't know about Fuuro without anything official. And I don't think Flow would work, especially since it's the U that's lengthened. '''~ [[User:Sol|sol]][[User talk:Sol|ar]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|is]]''' 05:06, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:: And in the word "flow", the u is also long, so fuuro could also be pronounced "Flow", which makes alot of sense. [[User:Mikkim|Mikkim]] 06:19, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Dent is from "dent corn", which is an English name. Fuuro is from 風露草 ''fuurosou'' (germanium), which is a Japanese name. Unless there's an official romanization, such as Denji to Denzi (Volkner), the name "Fuuro" stays. [[User:神奇超龍|神奇超龍]] 06:37, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

I noticed this the first time I saw her name: It is based off of the skylark, a type of bird? I never even thought about the sky in the first place... ----[[User:Sparen|Sparen]] ''([[User talk:Sparen|talk]])'' 00:55, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
:Yeah, I think it's possible. I honestly didn't see that coming. I already added it. --'''神智の[[User:神奇超龍|超龍]]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|對話]]'''」''' 08:14, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

== Homage? ==
Skyla bears a little more than a passing resemblance to [http://www.closetanimeotaku.org/Q3_2008/birdy.jpg Birdy the Mighty]. There's the type affiliation and color scheme matches up too closely to be a coincidence... [[User:Hitmaker|Hitmaker]] 20:03, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Hitmaker: glitches arent limited to video games

'''Glitches''' are anomalies in software programs, including video games. They can cause various problems ranging from the purely graphical to completely wiping entire chunks of saved data.

They are usually caused by problems with a game's code, or from a player doing things the programmers did not anticipate, therefore causing the game to react unexpectedly.

In Pokémon RPGs, there are many glitches, due to the complexity of Pokémon. Glitches are listed below (bold = most famous).

==Major Glitches==
[[image:Glitch City Map1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A variation of [[Glitch City]]]]
[[image:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A [[Mew]] being found in the wild]]
There are three Glitches (the first two are only available in the Red, Blue and Yellow versions; the third one is available in the Gold/Silver and Emerald versions) that do not ''necessarily'' always create glitched Pokémon, but are themselves glitches that cause events that would not normally happen in the gameplay.

Red/Blue/Yellow:

*'''[[Glitch City]]:''' a mess of pixels that changes depending on where the player is
*'''[[Mew glitch]]:''' allowing players to capture any Pokémon (most especially {{p|Mew}}) without modification, and allowing players to catch most of the glitched Pokémon listed below

Gold/Silver:

*'''[[Pokémon Cloning]]:''' allows players in the Gold/Silver versions to safely clone Pokémon, assuming they have good timing.

Emerald:

*'''[[Pokémon Cloning]]:''' allows players to clone Pokémon once access to the [[Battle Frontier]] has been achieved.

Diamond/Pearl:

*'''[[Surf glitch]]:''' allows players to warp to places on the map where [[Sinnoh]]'s secret [[Legendary Pokémon]] lie.

==Glitch Pokémon==

A glitch [[Pokémon]] is a Pokémon that exists in a game due to a programming or level design oversight, and as it was not intentionally placed inside the game by [[Nintendo]] or [[Game Freak]], it might be hazardous to data in your game. Glitch Pokémon are to be avoided due to the risks they may pose to a player's save file.
===In [[Pokémon Red and Blue]] and [[Pokémon Yellow]]===
This is a chart of all 24 known glitch Pokémon that can be found in the wild in the Red, Blue and Yellow versions ''without'' using a cheating device:

==Glitch attacks==

A glitch attack, or glitch [[move]], is much like a regular attack except the results are often undesirable. These attacks are often known to be called TM attacks ('''TM01'''-'''TM55''' and '''HM01''' to '''HM05'''), and are also known to have glitch types ('''COOLTRAINER'''-type or '''999'''-type){{fact}}

Like a glitch Pokémon, glitch attacks were not programmed into the game on purpose and many have been proven to cause damage to game cartridges.

There are ways to teach glitch attacks to certain Pokémon without usage of a cheat-code device such as [[Gameshark]], however, most of the time only glitch Pokémon will learn glitch attacks.{{fact}}

The only widely known ones are those for Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow. The attacks have the same effect on all three versions. {{fact}}

Also, the move {{m|Thunderbolt}}, when used in some Ruby and Sapphire cartridges, may cause the game to freeze.
===Glitch types===

There are many different glitch types that are found to be the types of several glitched Pokémon. The most well known are:

*[[Bird (type)|Bird]], one of the types of the Red/Blue [[Missingno.]]
*[[999 (type)|999]] (A glitch type), one of the types of [[44]] and one of the types of the [[Missingno.|Yellow version Missingno.]]
*[[Pokémaniac (type)|Pokémaniac]], the type of the malicious glitch Pokémon "[[.4]]"
*[['|) m) ZM Normal (type), the types of the mysterious ? marks glitches of the 2nd generation

===Glitch areas===

Aside from Glitch City in [[Generation I]], there are several other areas which can only be reached by way of a glitch in the games. Examples of this are areas in the [[Sevii Islands]] that are retrievable via their [[index number]] pointer, however, do not have any other data.

===Glitch items===

In the [[Generation II]] games, it is possible to get an item called the [[Teru-sama]], the only description of which is a lone question mark. [[Generation III]] likewise has a mystery item. Both of these seem to have been placeholders just in case more slots for items were ever needed, something that came true with the [[Clear Bell]] in [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]] and the various newer items introduced just in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed and LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]], which register as the Teru-sama and mystery item if they are somehow moved into [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold and Silver]] or [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby and Sapphire]].

==Notes==
<nowiki>*</nowiki>Missingno. and 'M's special stats for the Mew trick vary (see [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html])

<nowiki>**</nowiki>The Yellow version [[Missingno.]] is different from the Red/Blue Missingno., but share the same name.
Missingno will revert to level 100 if leveled up to over level 255 with Rare Candies or if it fights in battle and wins.

<nowiki>***</nowiki>The Pokémon [[3TrainerPoké]], [['M|Charizard 'M]] and [[Q]] are the only known catchable glitch Pokémon that cannot be ''directly'' caught using the Mew glitch.

<nowiki>****</nowiki>The glitch known as "[[.4]]" can corrupt saved data if it uses a certain glitch move, making it impossible to continue and forcing the player to start a new game.

Mystery Gift

2007-05-06T22:55:20Z

Hitmaker: /* Generation IV */ not "Everybody", "everyone"

'''Mystery Gift''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎなおくりもの''' ''Mystery Gift'') is a feature found in the [[Generation II]], [[Generation III|III]], and [[Generation IV|IV]] Pokémon video games.

==Generation II==
To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation II games, talk to the girl in green on the fifth floor of the [[Goldenrod]] Department Store. She will activate the feature for you.

The mystery gift is used in conjunction with the IR port on top of the Game Boy Color to communicate with other Mystery Gift enabled games to give other players either room decorations or items. It can also be used with the [[Pokémon Pikachu]] and the [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] game.

==Generation III==
To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation III games, simply walk up to the clipboard found at any [[Poké Mart]] and enter the phrase:
<code>LINK TOGETHER
WITH ALL</code>. The clerk behind the counter will then inform you that the Mystery Gift feature has been activated.

The Mystery Gift's primary use is receiving special items at Nintendo events.

==Generation IV==
Mystery Gift can only be activated at the [[Jubilife City]] TV station. In the station, there is a man who will activate the Mystery Gift function for two sayings: <code>EVERYONE HAPPY</code> and <code>WI-FI CONNECTION</code>. In this generation, Mystery Gift can also be used to transfer {{p|Manaphy}} from [[Pokémon Ranger]].
