::Okay, I changed the trivia. However, are you sure there's a 000 glitch Pokemon in Generation VI? If there was, it would be on Bulbapedia by now. I'm just not sure that there ISN'T. In other words, I need to talk to somebody who has datamined a Generation VI game. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 21:43, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

:::From a programmer's perspective, I think it is a bit silly to note in trivia whether a particular generation/game '''does/does not''' have a [[glitch Pokémon]]. Glitch Pokemon do not "exist" in the strictest sense; they are results of illegal/invalid data access, most commonly due to specifying an index which goes beyond expected boundaries (eg. 000, >721). If a particular glitch Pokemon "does not exist" in a particular generation, it could be either due to improved error handling in the game code (for example, instead of returning a glitch Pokemon, newer games might detect invalid values and give you a [[Bad Egg]] instead), or because that the game will crash/freeze immediately instead of giving you a Pokemon. [[List of glitch Pokémon]] notes the "existence" (or rather, that it is viable to get one without the game crashing on you) of a #000 glitch Pokemon, by the way.  [[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 02:25, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
