Something Really Weird Just Happened in My Sapphire Version...

[Togetic]

I was releasing some Pokémon that I really don't use... And I was gonna release Tentacruel and when I released it the screen started flashing and a lot of !!!!!!! points came up... Then it said that Tentacruel came back... Then the game said "Was it worried about you?" I tried to released it again and the same thing happened... What could this mean?

[Venasaur89]

Ohh...what's weird. MAybe, the reason is that Tentacruel don't want to leave you or something...or maybe a glitch in the game...

[Sir Chris]

that is VERY odd O_o. I have never heard of that happening before, lol. My bet is its some sort of glitch, but whatever it is, keep the tentacruel, and you can tell all your friends "this is the pokemon that loves me back!"

Hmm, I odn't think this is a glitch. R/S probably has a few surprises, and one of them is clingy Pokemon.

[Kyl3]

I agree with Mikey. Do you have a screenshot?

[HedgeCat]

That's...very odd. I tried it with my Minun, but it didn't work

[soggy_cardboard]

heh, 50 bucks says ur tentacruel has learned a HM that none of ur other pokemon know. (waterfall, dive, etc)

u cant release a poke if it is ur only poke with a certain HM, try it!

[HedgeCat]

Well, that didn't work for me, Soggy Cardboard.

[Riven]

Have you trained it completely? I mean have you trained it from a really low level?

[Kari and Mewtwo]

maybe its the happiness factor?

[Slowking86]

lol. It happened to me to.

TENTACOOL was released
... ... ... ... ...!
TENTACOOL came back!
Was it worried about you?

and it was like soggy said, the only pokemon with Waterfall.
so now i learned waterfall to swampert.

TENTACOOL was released
Bye-bye, TENTACOOL!

[HedgeCat]

hey, where's the person who delets moves so I can try this myself?

[Chrisodeo]

This was done to stop the "Cinnibar Island Glitch" + similar problems that occured in RBY. Wanna try it? You must have a game pack, and someone to trade with. Get the badge required to Surf (I believe it's Lt. Surge's, but don't quote me on that). Trade with someone to get a Surfing pokemon, and immediately Surf to Cinnibar. (DON'T get the HM!) At the island, release said Surfing pokemon into the wild. TA-DAH! You're stuck, permanently, on Cinnibar Island. You have to restart your game to fix it.

Can't you just trade for another surfing pokemon?

see?

Well, that didn't work for me, Soggy Cardboard.

well, sorry to say, but ur wrong.

*If you have only taught 1 pokemon 1 HM (that means only one of all ur pokes knows that HM) you cant release it.

start a new game and try it.

[-xDigitalAngelx-]

wow that just goes to show you learn something new everyday!

that was a good guess soggy_cardboard!

[Togetic]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Okay now I get it... I recently deleted all my Pokemon in Pokemon Sapphire and yea Tentacruel was the only Pokemon with Dive so I couldn't release it... But I like the idea that it didn't want to leave me so Imma train it now... LoL...

[HedgeCat]

Soggy, I just forgot that I taught my Wailord and Clamperl HMS and I forgot that I did.

[Slowking86]

lol you forgot that you forgot that you taught them hms.

[GupLoaf]

Do you think that the poke's happiness is easier to increase when training if it's in the situation of "not wanting to leave you?"

(more like not being allowed to leave you)

Or is it just a rule created to prevent a glitch & doesn't benefit anything else?

[Chrisodeo]

Nope. There's no practical use of this 'glitch'. Doesn't increase the chance of pokerus, doesn't up exp points, doesn't even increase happiness. Problem solved, we can get back to whatever it was we were doing.
