The never-growing Berry that spouted from nowhere.

OK. I'm posting this because I want to draw some attention to it, and because I can't find a Sticky where it can go...

I was playing my Emerald a few days ago after I finished trading all my Pokémon from my LeafGreen. I went to a stroll to Route 123 to get some Berries, when I noticed something: there was a planted Berry in the Berry Master's garden. I was confused, for I had never planted a Berry there in my previous trips to that place.

I saved in front of it so I could pick the Berries and be done with it. However, the patch of land didn't change at all. I watered it a few times, left the GBA turned on for a while to see if there was some bug with the clock (Which would be illogical, because the clock still runs fine.), but nothing. The Berry just won't grow.

It is labelled as a Cheri Berry. I planted a Cheri Berry besides it. That one growed, but the other one didn't. And well... I just accepted that it's a glitch. And a very weird one at that.

I'll be honest. I traded a Mew, Celebi, Jirachi and Deoxys I cheated in my Ruby with Action Replay. And also cheated Pokérus, traded a Pokémon to infect it, and then traded back. I also traded back all Specials. I've traded with XD, LeafGreen and Ruby. My Liechi Berry was obtained from Mirage Island, which I sharked in my Ruby as well. I also got a few cheated Lucky Eggs. But aside that, I've NEVER cheated directly in my Emerald. And if I did, I didn't save after doing so...

This isn't much of a hindrance, to be honest. But it's rather annoying to have that never-growing Berry there. By now, I'll assume that Berry is an indication that the game had contact with "Illegal" stuff. That's the only conclussion I came up with. Which irks me, because I NEVER cheated directly in my Emerald cart, but once, and didn't save afterwards. I hard-erased my previous Save Data as well, which means any existan mess-up should be gone. And my Ruby never had such a problem, despite the fact I've cheated left and right on it...

Not to mention I did the same with my previous Emerald file, and this didn't happen at all. My only conclussion is that it's a cheat indicator. Probably triggered by XD, because it never happened in my last file, and I didn't have XD back then...

My other theory is that it's a weird variation of a Berry Glitch, which shouldn't exist in Emerald, but eh...

That's all I can say. Discuss, and if anyone knows about it, let me know. I'm not bothered, but... I'm slightly scared. =/

NOTE: I want intelligent discussion and conscious advice please. Not "OMFGZ yuu diserv eet cauze your a CHE@TER!!11oneone". Please and thank you...

D/P is almost here!!
You should be careful when using Che*ting Devices.
Sometimes some codes have things that cause the Items you get to have a Side-Effect on the other a game the Item was traded to.

I agree that it might be caused by a Glitch in Pkmn XD,because when I was trading Pokemon from my Emerald to XD,my Gameboy froze 3 Times and in the TV it said that there was a malfunction when trading.

Despite the XD Glitch,it has caused me to erase my Battle Frontier Streaks to 0,which I hate.


Now when I trade with XD,I am very careful,I transfer the Pokemon I want from my Emerald file to my Fire Red File,then I trade from my Fire Red to XD.

FYI,this should go in the R/S/E Glitch Thread,Orion.

It could be a flag, but I would have expected flags to be (1) indetectible and (2) not "contagiously" spread through trading. Has your Emerald come in contact with any cheat pokes? If so, have you traded them away or released them?

I think that those cheated items(not pokemons) did that. BTW, this never happened to me and this is the first time i've seen a glitch(?) like this.

Well, he did send the cheated pokemons to emerald.

I think the issue lies in the fact that there is something in the game (I don't know if it's hard-wired in the cart or just in the coding, that is so well-programmed that it is able to detect cheated pokemon in a lot of cases. On a side note, since none of us programmed the game, we don't know whether cheating will alter subtlely other parts of the game (such as a berry bush that just won't grow).

I am not sure that this discussion should go much beyond this because discussion of cheating techniques is against the rules.

Oh, MetalMario, the flags are contagious through trading.

My Emerald got a swift trade of Mew, Celebi, Jirachi and Deoxys. All cheated with Pokémon Maker. I traded them back, though.

Really? That explains it all, I believe. For I did the exact same things in my previous Emerald file, and this never ever happened. So... I spell the blame on XD. It probably activated this glitch...

I've got the answers I wanted... to an extent. This can be still discussed unless a Mod believes this should be closed. Do as you wish. I have what I wanted... for now. If a cure is ever devised or discovered, let me know. I linked with Colosseum, but nothing happened. I'll try other stuff. Maybe trading with XD again.

Thanks everyone! :)

Back I guess??
I have this too, but I ignore it.

And it´s not because XD or link battles or cheating devices, I had that before start trading with colosseum or XD, I never had a link battle (No one I know has pokémon ;_; ), and I NEVER used and I never will use chating devices. It´s just a glitch, so I think this belongs to the glitch sticky.

What? I need proof! Someone (a lucky a-hole who lives somewhere where Nintendo tours) trade a cheat poke to an uncheated game, release it, and see if Nintendo will still give you a Celebi.

I think he's right, the same thing happened to me on my emereld, and it was a cheri berry. No I am not sticking up for him, this same event happened to me.

OK then. Thanks for the info. It's rather unsettling, though. I never expected such a random glitch to pop out, but I'm glad it's not a Cheat indicator. Not that I'd care if it was anyway. Might post it in the Glitch Sticky, if it hasn't.

Mine was a Cheri Berry as well... weird.

I just hope this glitchy patch stays where it is, and doesn't appears elsewhere. I'm not one to plant several Berries, but I'll be seriously screwed if that actually happens. Oh well...

This clears it all. Feel free to close this now. :)

I've got it too, and I never, ever cheated. Mine is also a Cheri berry. Nintendo tech support had no idea what could have caused it.

I have it too, but I've never cheated. I've only traded with XD though because I was training a pokemon that needed moves from XD.
