And that’s how glitches are born.

I’m Admin Mag, and I’m the resident glitch expert here at pokeoddities! I also run the blog @magnemite-propaganda and my main blog is @mala-sadas. I’m an aspiring game programmer, and I love glitches in Pokémon, from the Mew glitch to the Pomeg glitch to acid rain to Sky Drop glitches. So, I’m going to be telling y’all about glitches, bugs, and oversights from all seven generations of Pokémon!

Now, it’s pretty common knowledge that Gen I (and Gen II, to an extent) has a lot of major bugs and glitches, so there are tons of articles and videos and explanations about those glitches out there already. That doesn’t mean I won’t cover any of them here, but I’ll put more of a focus on glitches from recent entries, since they aren’t as common knowledge. I find it fascinating that even modern games that have more time and resources put into them still have some fun glitches to try - even if they aren’t quite as visually exciting as earlier glitches in the series.

As for the format of the content I’ll be posting, I’ll be explaining what each glitch does, why it happens - if I can find an explanation - and how you can perform them yourself! I’ll also post images or video of me performing the glitch myself, unless there’s some reason I can’t, in which case I’ll post images or video of someone else performing the glitch. 

[Full disclaimer: I don’t have a 3DS or DS capture card, so the quality of these images/videos won’t be great. I may use an emulator to take clean images of the glitches in games from Gen I-Gen V, but all of these glitches can be performed on a cartridge with no cheating devices required!]

That’s about all I have to say for now, so keep an eye out for this look into the glitchy world of Pokémon games!

I don’t normally like to get involved in discourse, especially on Tumblr. I’m just here to have fun and love Pokémon. I’ve never even followed bulbasaur-propaganda, just knew that he kinda started the Pokémon propaganda trend.

But after everything that’s been going on, I - like a lot of the community - have decided that I want to distance myself from him because I don’t want to be associated with someone like that. So, I’ve decided to change my blog’s url to separate myself from bulbasaur-propaganda and better reflect what it is I do here: love & appreciate Magnemite.

No, it doesn’t! Alola’s Pokémon are great, and they deserve way more love and appreciation than they get! My personal favorite Pokémon from Alola are:

5. Togedemaru (another round electric/steel boy!)

4. Mimikyu (ghost type? wants friends? super powerful? heck yeah)

3. Charjabug (battery bug is shaped like a friend)

2. Sandygast (it’s a ghost sand castle...what’s not to love)

Hmm, that’s a little tough...I really love the recent starters a lot! I’d have to go:

5. Popplio

4. Rowlet

3. Fennekin

2. Litten

Ooh, that’s an interesting one! I’ve used all the Eeveelutions at some point or another, but there are definitely certain ones that left more of an impact on me than others!

5. Umbreon

4. Espeon

3. Sylveon

2. Vaporeon
