      I already have it on Switch! I got it on my phone a few years ago when a different UA-camr was sponsored by them, then it recently released on Switch so I play it there now. It’s a good game, and with it being free on both mobile and Switch, people don’t really have a reason to not check it out.

      They actually fixed it though, by making Struggle deal fixed recoil (always a quarter of the user’s max HP)
      They also made it so that Shadow Tag fails to work if there’s another Shadow Tag user on the field

      @DBS_Destroyer Рік тому +11

      Actually, they banned leftovers on Wobbufet

    • @Lankpants
      @Lankpants Рік тому +4

      This isn't correct. Wobbufet was banned from Smogon Singles because it's just insanely hard to deal with in Gen 4. Shadow Tag is an inherently broken ability. It was banned quickly because people had already worked this out from gen 3. Even in Gen 9 shadow tag is still banned in OU. It's less problematic in Ubers because most mons have the power to not actually care about Wobbufet.
      The actual clause that Wobbufet's struggle softlock caused was in gen 3 ubers and gen 3 VGC. In both formats Wobbufet is/was banned from using leftovers.

      I much prefer his softlocks because he has transitioned to do more stuff that is TECHNICALLY not a softlock, but the amount of time it would take to escape the situation is so stupid that you're better off just resetting the game anyway. I would say it is worse than being softlocked because it gives people false hope of a way to salvage the save file. Not to mention the scenarios are so complicated that nobody would do them by accident, meaning you would only do this to mess with a friend

    One thing to note about the Lorelei softlock is that you can escape to the Center if you Gen 1 miss (1/256 chance on "100% accurate moves", due to how the game checks accuracy) all 20 of Rage's PP. Pikasprey touches on this in his video, so I figured I'd bring it up here.

    It’s not a soft lock, but still a pain. In legends Arceus I was trying to catch a Pokémon that’s in the water, from the bank. Ended up being knocked in by a beautifly…and warped out just to be on the Pokémon, unable to move, and knocked into the water over and over till I whited out.

    There is also a burglar in Pokémon Mansion in gen 1 that, when you engage the fight on a certain tile, he will block the way a table and a wall. If you safe, he will be be blocking the path untill you get out of the building, which is very problematic if you don't have an escape rope or dig, both being very realistic in a gen 1 game. Your only option is to faint yourself against wild Pokémon, which can take an enormous amount of time depending on your team. While your not stuck forever, it is very easy to accomplish, even by accident and I bet thousands of people have gotten stuck that way in the past.

    15:55 you can escape this by loading up a "backup save." When the title screen appears, hold up (d-pad), B, and X. this brings up a menu that will a let you start on the save file BEFORE your current save file. example, if my save file put me in front of a building, and i released my shiny suicune by accident, and i walked into a building (prompting an autosave), i could get the suicune back by using the button input combination that i mentioned.

Just for kicks, we tried trading, and strangely it worked, but the route 1 Pidgey he sent me transfered over as a glitched name Gastly. I got to Lavender Town, but every time I left the town it would start a "wild Pokémon" battle, but it was a battle with Blue. Whether winning or losing, the game would just softlock after with a long continuous tone. I had to send my game to Nintendo. They sent me a brand new copy, and had to start all over.

    15:00 it is in fact possible to get items from raid battles despite full inventory. But it will not give you any balls. The weekly rewards on the other hand will give you balls without spinning stops, so that you would be soft locked for a week max. Also it is possible to get rid of items by throwing them away. And I am not even sure if eggs contrivute to the bag space, I think they contribute to the Pikemon space instead. So this is not a soft lock at all.

    I accidentally hard-locked myself with Scarlet.
    - I purchased Pokémon Scarlet.
    - Played it until I obtained my first gym badge.
    - Saw a buncha glitches, so I turned off the game.
    - Went and sold Scarlet back to Gamestop the same day of launch, & they gave me $3.74 (store credit).
    - I took the $2.62 cash instead.
    - I walked out the door, then regretted my decision immediately.
    - Wanted to buy Scarlet back, but I didn't have enuff money.
    So I turned 180° and went back inside of Gamestop.
    - I placed my $2.62 on the counter and proceeded to tell the worker that I made a mistake & I didn't wish to actually trade my Scarlet in.
    - The employee then grabs my change, and throws the 2 dollars & coins at me, whilst singing a lil jingle:
    "Take that! Take that!
    We said no tradebacks!" 🎶
    - I walk out of the store crying, with my $2.62 in hand. 😢
    - I am now hard-locked from ever playing Pokémon Scarlet.

On my one account, I was about 400 items over bag capacity because all I used that account for was raids. And both raid rewards and spinning for the daily free raid pass ignore the inventory space.
    That said, I am out of eggs on that account most of the time. With only one possible PokéStop spin per day, it isn't guaranteed you'll get an egg. And it would definitely be annoying to try to grind through those incubators to a point where you could play the game "normally" again.

    @funaoe24Bro Рік тому +4

    Actually the Go softlock is no longer possible. This is because A) You can always receive items regardless of if your bag space is full if you are spinning a gym for a free raid pass. B) Now that gifts can be opened for stardust, adding a friend and opening a gift can still give the player an egg regardless of if their bag or Pokémon storage is full.

    some notable soft locks that i noticed that weren’t there is that in red/blue if you have no money for the safari zone you can’t get surf. on top of that if you’re in a spot that requires surf to get to a and you get rid of the pokémon leaving you with no surf or fly you get locked.

    One softlock, that I couldn't find to be documented anywhere on the web is in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. I managed to somehow get myself stuck with 15 badges and never was able to get the 16th badge. I don't know exactly how I managed to get the guy in front of the 16th Gym to never move, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's because I did the 7th badge (the one one Cinnabar Island) first and then completed the other 6 Kanto badges.
    Yes, I know, it's not a true soft-lock, as I was still able to do everything else in the game, but I technically wasn't able to complete it. Had to reset my entire save file, but in a second playthough I did all the badges in order and didn't encounter that bug, soo.... yeah...

  • @Halkel2k6
    @Halkel2k6 Рік тому

    #12 If you got no free pass as long as you don't go for a raid active gym, you can spin it, get a free pass and items despite space. This was added to encourage raids, but becomes a bit of an oversight but number of items depends on your level on said gym and if it's your team's. A low level gym doesn't give many items and can still leave you unable to catch much or anything. You'd have to use up an incubator if you ain't lucky.

    OMG I have one of those cursed white two copies, I remember having that glitch happened to me and I was so confused why the zoroark wasn't moving. I just kept going on about my business never getting two N's castle in that save file. I was a young kid when it happened, and didn't exactly have the internet to tell me what the problem was.

  • @TheSkullkid16
    @TheSkullkid16 Рік тому +1

    Let's not forget that while you can escape that Lorelei softlock due to the 1/256 glitch, you still would have to hit that 1/256 chance a minimum of 20 times in a row, and that's not including the fact that you can raise Rage's power points. Even at just 20 times though, the odds are so impossibly small that even all of us humans on the planet attempting to get it to happen for the rest of our lives would probably never get it to happen even a single time, let alone if it was maxed out which I think is 32 power points. Needless to say, we'd all be better off just trying to do literally anything else than trying to escape that softlock.

  • @dorkenspache8353

    For anyone wondering how there is footage of the first softlock, Dobbs probably misspoke and said "shiny charm" instead of "cute charm" which is a glitch that makes your shiny rate like 21.34% if your TID and SID are close in value and you have a Cute Charm Pokemon in your front slot. This will force a lot of shiny Pokemon to appear which makes this softlock pretty easy to come across if you do have Cute Charm set up
    For the second one, it is TECHNICALLY not a softlock for a few reasons. One, the 1/256 glitch means Rage has a chance to miss, meaning you could technically escape if you miss rage however many times for the number of PP it has in a ow. Likewise, if you have any of the fishing rods you can fish in her room encounter a Pokemon and hope for Rage to miss or get knocked out if you have better than the Old Rod and escape that way (bypassing needing it to miss consecutively). And even though the rods are optional items, most players pick up at least one of the rods in a playthrough. This is why I like Pikasprey because he shows "softlocks" where they technically aren't a true lock, but the method of escape is so terrible you are better off resetting the game than trying to escape it.
    I will say I find it interesting how you found a way to softlock yourself in the first generation with reusable TMs. That's like the one thing that makes a Gen 5 and beyond softlock near impossible.
    I don't get how the B2W2 one is a softlock. A softlock is something where your game is put in an unplayable state where you're unable to make progress. The thing is you can still escape Victory Road and go back to the rest of Unova with this one right? And there is still post game content to do afterward so it isn't much of a softlock except for any N content but that isn't much.

    Dear Dobbs,
    I have something to apologize for that may have negatively influenced this video. Last year, I edited Bulbapedia to say that I had the experience with the Frozen Zoroark Glitch in my English copy of Pokemon White 2. This was fake, and I never actually experienced this; I used to tell this lie to my friends and family to partially justify why I liked using the Action Replay, but now that I am supposed to be a mature adult and not a 12-year-old, I regret acting stupid and posting that to Bulbapedia. I am sorry for being potentially responsible for this piece of disinformation in your video and I hope you can forgive me.
