Attention all Pokémon fans! A major update has been unleashed for the beloved Game Boy Advance classics, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, now available on the Nintendo Switch. But here's the real kicker: it seems like Nintendo has finally fixed the notorious 'Legendary Dog Glitch' that plagued players for years.
For those who are new to this, let's break it down. In the original GBA versions, if you encountered certain legendary Pokémon, like Entei or Raikou, and they used a specific move called 'Roar' while trapped, it would result in a frustrating glitch where you'd never see them again in that playthrough. Talk about a heart-stopping moment!
But here's where it gets controversial: multiple players and data miners have reported that this glitch is no more in the Switch versions. According to Serebii.net, a trusted source for Pokémon info, this means catching these legendary beasts just got a whole lot easier. And this is the part most people miss: the legendary you encounter depends on your starter Pokémon choice! So, choose wisely, trainers.
Not only that, but the Switch eShop versions also confirm that players will now receive the Mystic and Aurora Tickets after entering the Hall of Fame. Previously, these tickets were only available through Mystery Gift distributions at in-person events, making them a rare commodity.
So, are you ready to revisit these classic adventures on the Switch? Have you managed to catch one of the legendary dogs yet? Share your experiences and thoughts in the comments below. We want to hear all about your legendary Pokémon journeys!
And remember, as Liam Doolan, our resident news writer and reviewer, puts it: 'Every dog has its day.' So, keep on training and catching 'em all!
