Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen on Nintendo Switch fix massive glitch 22 years later
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GBA, News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
We’ve only had one release of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen for the past couple of decades with its GBA launch, but now that they’re seeing new life on Nintendo Switch, a huge glitch has been fixed.
Back in the day, the GBA games had something known as the “roaming roar bug”. If you initially chose Bulbasur or Squirtle as your starter, Raikou and Entei would show up first in the post-game. Following that, if you found either of the Legendary Pokemon and they used “roar”, the game would accidentally count it as them being knocked them out rather than making them flee, plus they wouldn’t appear in the Pokedex. This meant that Raikou / Entei would essentially be deleted and players wouldn’t have another shot at catching them.
