I'm here to "bust" any Pokemon Myths you may have heard. This includes things like the "Strength Truck" from R/B/Y. Anything like that will be accepted, and I will to my very best to prove or disprove any myths at all.

I need ONE partner for this, so please apply in a PM or a Post.

Okay, I have a multitude of games I can bust myths on.
The games are:
Pokemon Red
Pokemon Blue
Pokemon Green
Pokemon Yellow
Pokemon Silver
Pokemon Crystal
Pokemon Emerald
Pokemon Diamond
Pokemon Pearl
Pokemon Platinum
Pokemon Heart Gold
^About these games, I am at varying points in each game, like I just restarted Diamond, so any Diamond rumors that have to do with any place that's further than where I am will wait until I'm that far in the game.

Let me note: THIS IS NOT A QUESTION THREAD
Do not ask questions here, just post any rumors or Myths you may have heard.

UNSOLVED MYTHS
R/B/Y/Gr
"0 ERROR glitch"

G/S/C

MISSINGNO.: Went to Viridian City and walked north and talked to the Old Man who's just had his coffee. I watched him catch a pokemon. Flew to Cinnabar Island. Surfed along the east coast.

**I thought I'd let you in on something about the Mew Glitch. Originally, the creator of Mew (forgot his name...) had put Mew in, but he didn't want anyone else to know, so he inserted the "Mew Glitch" without the design team's knowledge until he showed it to them. I know he was one of the main game designers (I'm pretty sure, at least) which is also why his favorite pokemon Mew is the only pokemon that is able to learn all moves from TMs.

I don't know if I can really help you much in the myth busting department Rap, sorry. May I suggest that we link the two pok?busters threads together though? Like link to this one from GR and we link to GR from this one?

bah I'll do it:
http://www.gamesradar.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1659238&#1659238
That one has Rap's helpers, and where he got the info for the Solved, Plausible, and Busted myths.

Nah, my artwork is mediocre at best. Anyway..

Self submitted Myth:
Is it true that the Everstone/Nature Trick works on Males in HG/SS?

pry0citer · « **Reply #7 on:** August 12, 2010, 08:41:30 am »

Not on Males.... iirc. I think only on Females and Dittos.

Rapidash0660 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 12, 2010, 04:46:41 pm »

lol, surprisingly enough, it does work on males in HG/SS.

Also: Just a note, I'm blinded by the level of dark text in the first post. You MIGHT wanna edit that so the text is white or grey
