So.
I just got around to getting my Pokédex upgraded, and now some of my old data is glitchy and incorrect. Not a lot of it, but still.
Is that known issue? Is there a fix for it?
I mean, it's not that much of a problem, but they should really test those upgrades before distributing them.

[That seems a bit strange...]

Maybe you could take your Gear back and let them know there is a problem? They might be able to correct it for you.

Think the nurses are any good at programming? Then again, maybe it's a known issue and there's already a patch for it.

[text]

[codeforhope]

I'm not sure. But you're right, there might be a fix out there for it already.

Um...if you think you might need help with it, though, I could try to see if I can figure out the problem. I'm a programmer, myself.

[captainash]

Really? That's a more common skill than I thought around here. Did you have any trouble with the update yourself?

[text]

[codeforhope]

There were a few things, but I've been able to mostly take care of them with a few tweaks of my own. I need to check back with the Center to make sure the information is actually correct, though.

Glitchy like how?

[captainash]

Like incorrect types displayed for a few of my Pokémon. Most aren't affected, but it's still annoying.

[nostabbing]

That's really weird. Which ones is it doing that for?

[captainash]

Wigglytuff, Granbull, Togekiss and Clefable. They all got their type changed to Fairy, or got it added, which is why I think the update is causing it.

[loveisanopendoor]

I wonder about that, actually! My Haxorus is usually pretty protective of the smaller Pokemon on my team...but nowadays, he seems a little bit more cautious around Diva, my Jigglypuff. And according to my Pokedex, Jigglypuff is a Fairy-type now...

Dragon-type moves don't work on Fairy-types at all, and not only that, they're super-effective against Dragons, too...so it makes sense that he'd suddenly become a little more wary of her, right?

[captainash]

The wariness of a Dragon when faced with a Fairy does make sense. But why would Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff suddenly be Fairy-types, now? Some Pokémon change types when they evolve, but not spontaneously in the middle of the night.

[loveisanopendoor]

Perhaps it had something to do with that whole thing that just happened with Arceus and those crystals..? It makes sense that they'd be considered that type now that we know that it exists, but...still, to completely change its strengths and weaknesses, that seems like a pretty huge change!!

[captainash]

...Maybe it really is caused by alien or divine or crystal radiation after all. I mean, how else could a Pokémon suddenly become immune to a type that used to affect it? It's not like there's some sort of anti-Dragon vaccine out there.

Text

[stitchedupbodyguard]

I saw that too.
What the heck is a fairy type?

Text

[captainash]

Something that's immune to Dragon-types, which is nice.

But my Clefable definitely had no such immunity a few weeks ago, so it shouldn't be considered one. It wasn't considered one, before the update.

Text

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Apparently there's several pokemon that are "fairy" type now. including those pokemon with the ribbons.

Text

[captainash]

Brand new fairy species like the ribbon one make sense; the type had to come from somewhere. But why are they suddenly claiming that local species are also part of it?

[text]

[tearsofademon]

By incorrect data, do you mean some of the Pokemon's types?

Because with what Rose keeps showing off, I don't think it's the Pokedex that's wrong.

[text]

[captainash]

...Is she showing off an unexplained and brand new immunity to Dragon-type attacks, by any chance?

[text]

[tearsofademon]

Yup. I think she's trying to make Marian jealous.

[which, he won't say, is a step up from outright hating her, but]

[text]

[captainash]

...And you're not wondering why she has a brand new and unexplained immunity to Dragon-type attacks? Not even a little?

[islandshore]

It might be more than the Pokédex. My Gardevoir's going on about how he feels so empowered around dragons now.

His giggling's gotten ten times worse. I feel like something fishy's going on.

[captainash]

You know, this is the only world where a whole bunch of creatures suddenly becoming immune to a type of attack sounds more likely than a mere programming glitch.

That thought is alarming enough without added giggling. Has he tried to prove that new empowerment of his?

[islandshore]

Glitches have happened. Actual, world-altering glitches, pixels and all.

And does summoning a miniature moon count as proof?

[captainash]

Well, of course they have. Why would this world be happy with normal little Pokédex glitches, when it can glitch reality itself completely?

...I don't know if it counts officially, but it's good enough for me.
