== Moves ==

Good work on the synopses, but please remember to capitalise the names of moves. Flame Wheel and Magical Leaf, not flame wheel and magical leaf. And you will need to listen for what the move is called, not guess by what it looks like - Fantina specifically stated when she sent out Mismagius that it can't learn {{m|Hypnosis}}, so it can't have used it in an attempt to stop Chimchar's Attack.

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{bp|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Heavy editing of these personal pages can put undue stress on the server, so please leave your page alone for now and go help out in the mainspace. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so please help us to complete it! If you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit your userpage more often too. Thanks! ---- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 06:05, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

==The Preview Key==
Please utilize the preview key when making edits. This allows you to check your revisions and see if it works, especially when using templates or links.

== book articles and episode linking ==

Book articles require [[template:BookInfobox]] and either [[template:AnimeBooks]] or [[template:Books]]. The Book Infobox requires the ISBN, the title, what series it is in or if it is in one at all, if in a series, the previous and next book, the author, the publisher, and the date it was published. The other templates are simply navigation templates. An example of a great book article is [[I Choose You!]]. Another thing, episode articles are italicized and have an {{bp|epicode}}.[[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[wig]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 01:41, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

==Excellent Work!==

:Your work with improving the episode synopsis(es) is admirable, as well as your efforts in adding information for books. A good way to create book articles (or the way I usually do it) is copy the coding from a similar article to the one you are creating, and change the details of the copied coding to the one you are working on (for example, when I created the Pokémon Reader book articles, I copied the coding from a previously-made and established Pokémon Reader article, and changed the names and details to be relevant and accurate to the new one being made). This might make the adding of the book articles easier. [[User:Steph|Steph]] 01:49, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Old man glitch

2010-02-10T02:00:15Z

Randomness:

shouldnt this page mention that its possible to fight trainers while doing the glitch? the beta class [[Chief]] says they can be fought with this glitch and idk about any of you guys, but when i do the glitch, i somtimes find my rival! he uses 2 Nidorinos, 2 glitch box things, a missingno., and somthing else. '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|<span style="color: #696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 17:14, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
:That's a result of the MISSINGNO. glitch (the Cinnibar Coast bug), not the result of the Rare Candy Cheat. The Rare Candy cheat is itself a result of the Cinnibar Coast bug. --[[User:DavidJCobb|DavidJCobb]] 17:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

The reason the item count is changed is because every Pokemon has a "Pokedex" bit that tells the game its Pokedex status (0=not seen, 127=seen, 255=caught) and that the reason your items are altered is because MISSINGNO.'s Pokedex bit is in the same location in memory as the amount of the sixth item in your inventory. (which is why the items will always be changed to ?28 (128) (or ?55 (255) if you catch MISSINGNO.)) Should I add this to the article? --[[User:DavidJCobb|DavidJCobb]] 17:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

:I would say yes, as that is quite interesting, but it looks like someone already did. [[User:Thevictor390|Thevictor390]] 14:45, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

== Cheat or Glitch? ==

Shouldn't this page be at Rare Candy Glitch, not cheat? Or at least Cheat, title capitalization and all.[[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|You enter a poorly lit room...]] 18:41, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

==Title==
Wouldn't this be more aptly titled as "Old Man glitch"? Duplicating Rare Candies is only a small part of what this glitch is used for and about. A redirect for "Rare candy cheat" would be fine, and the introductory paragraph could be like "The Old Man Glitch, also known as the "Rare Candy cheat" due to its item duplicating effects..." or something to that effect. Just my $0.02, though. [[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 03:56, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

== Something's wrong... ==

It increases BY 128 not TO 128. Try it yourself.
[[User:OwnageMuch|OwnageMuch]] 21:08, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

== Looks like this glitch was fixed in European versions... ==

Here's something interesting. I was playing Pokémon Red in Spanish (don't ask) and I tried to do the Old Man glitch, but I couldn't -- whenever I surfed in the coast of either Cinnabar Island or Seafoam Islands, all I found was Tentacool, which was normal! So it looks like Nintendo found out about the glitch by the time they were going to release Pokémon in Europe, and as a result fixed this glitch. (Even though I only figured this out in the Spanish version, it more than likely was fixed in the French, German, and Italian versions as well, since all European games were released at pretty much the same time). Should this be mentioned in the article at all that this glitch was fixed in some versions of this game?

And yes, before anybody asks if I did the glitch wrong, I do know how to do the glitch properly, as I've done it dozens of times before in the English-language version. So there. --[[User:Blaziken257|<span style="color:#F08030;">'''Blaz'''</span>]][[User talk:Blaziken257|<span style="color:#C03028;">'''iken'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Blaziken257|<span style="color:#302000;">'''257'''</span>]] 02:51, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
:I'm actually playing Pokémon Red in French right now (I won't ask about the Spanish if you don't ask about the French XD) so I'll verify this when I get to Cinnabar Island myself. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 02:53, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
::Cool, somebody playing it in French... I wouldn't be surprised if it was fixed, but since you're playing it, you might as well confirm this for yourself.

:::I played it in Italian, but was never able to make it work.. the only way I was able to encounter Missingno. was through Ditto's "move glitch". The wild pokemon suddenly became MissingNo. and froze my game after catching it. Hah. --[[User:Randomness|Randomness]] 02:00, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

==This article==
It seems to be confusing and combining the '''Item duplication glitch''' (caused by encountering/capturing Missingno. or 'M), and the '''Old man glitch''' (used to encounter Pokémon including Missingno.). The two are separate glitches, and I propose this article be split into two. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 06:32, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
:I disagree with the split. The item duplication glitch is a direct consequence of the Old Man glitch. Because of the Old Man glitch, Missingno appears, and Missingno causes the sixth item to be duplicated. The reasons why this occurs could be elaborated on, but I don't think it really needs its own seperate article. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 07:29, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
::Well, right now the article is focused on the Item duplication glitch, not the Old man glitch. They are quite different things. If Missingno. is found via the Mew glitch, does the Item duplication glitch still happen? If so, then it has no place here. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:46, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
