09/16/24: My glitched Jolteon

I mentioned last time that I wanted to port over some Pokémon-related articles from my personal Tumblr. The first of these is now up, and accidentally became quite a bit more than just a port of my Tumblr post: an essay about my glitched Jolteon. It is part reminiscence and part game mechanics deep-dive about the very special Jolteon that I had on my Yellow version back in the day and my efforts to replicate and investigate his mysterious harmlessly glitchy properties. I hope you all enjoy.

I have placed it under Kanto on the menu for now, but it feels like a little bit of a quirky place for it - I waffled between putting it under Opinions/Theories (possibly renaming that subsection), Kanto or even Game Mechanics given how into the weeds it ends up getting. I guess I will think about it. Feel free to opine.

Sometimes, loving a glitched Pokemon can lead you to places you usually wouldn't go. I'm still working up the courage to rediscover and see if I can truly understand my own glitched Alakazam I fell in love with (from a glitch which involved Pokemon Blue showing Box 13 in the trade menu in Pokemon Stadium 2, and it taking data from there and turning it into a Pokemon.) I think I understand most of it - but there's still parts I want to figure out, and someday, I will. [ As an example: It had a blank name at some points, but had a mix of ? and V at other times. But perhaps I'm remembering wrong! ]

Your dear Jolteon is such a fascinating creature, and I'm glad you've finally figured out how it worked.

Glad you enjoyed it! If you're willing, it could be helpful if you let me know what bits you got lost on, in case I can make it a little clearer - I do want to try to make an article like this reasonably accessible to laymen.

Interesting article! I didn't understand the more complicated parts (stuff like that can be confusing to me), but it was still fun to read. I remember hearing about your glitched Jolteon years and years ago when I was a kid. I forget where, but I always kind of wondered how this Jolteon was glitched, and now I know.
