Seafloor Cavern/trapped

Can you be more specific about what room you can get trapped in at the Seafloor Cavern? And if possible, how, in as much detail as you can manage? Tiddlywinks (talk) 06:36, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

I'll try and get a video if I can figure out how to work my Polaroid Cube+, otherwise I'll take pictures. Unowninator (talk) 07:04, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Well this is embarrassing. I can't remember how to do it anymore, and I'm starting to think I overlooked the cliff. Guess I should delete the fact. *facepalm* Unowninator (talk) 07:21, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Regarding Raichu

Hello. When someone undoes your edit, please do not simply add it back. If you'd like to start a discussion on it, please do so on the talkpage. As it stands, that particular piece of trivia doesn't need to be there. All it really says is that Yellow is the only Gen I game that doesn't have Raichu, and it's not notable. Thanks.

VC Box printing

I don't think there's any particular difference in the VC Yellow that needs noting regarding the printing options. Let's talk about it.

Now, I only have the Japanese VC Yellow right now. It's possible there might be something different between the JP and US (if that's what you have) VC versions. But anyways, on page 4 of the manual, it only seems to say that you can't change the Print settings in the Options. (Which seems to actually be false. I was able to change them just fine.) Can you quote what you're seeing in your manual?

That aside, though, the option is still in the PC, so I think there's nothing that really needs noting. I mean, of course you can't connect a Game Boy Printer, so no one should expect it to actually work. But playing my US Yellow cartridge, if I try to print a Box I get "Printer Error 2"/"Check the Game Boy Printer Manual." (In my JP VC Yellow, it actually says it's trying to communicate when I select the print Box option. I suppose that's just a difference between the JP and US versions.) Does your VC Yellow (I assume US) say the same thing?

Oops, forgot to mention. When I try printing from the Pokedex, nothing happens. When I try the PC, the music changes until I push (B). Unowninator (talk) 18:29, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Interestingly, whereas the US VC manual has the exact same wording in both those places, the JP VC manual says different things (like I said, on page 4 it says the setting can't be changed, while on page 9 it actually says the option can't be selected/acted on).
Are you saying that when you try to print a Box, there's no message, no change of any sort except for the music?? It'd be pretty weird for JP vs US VC versions to be that different. O_o
I tried the Pokedex on my Yellow cartridge and it shows the same error message I see when I try to print a Box. But in JP VC, it did absolutely nothing, like you said and like the manual says. But anyway, that'd be for the Pokedex or Game Boy Printer pages. Tiddlywinks (talk) 18:55, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
In case you're interested, here are copies of the Japanese Yellow VC patches and the English Yellow VC patches (the original source). Both versions disable the Pokédex's print option by making it do nothing. I haven't checked what the commented-out print-related patches are for. SatoMew2 (talk) 19:45, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
The point is, if the printing option is mentioned on THAT particular page, it should be mentioned there that it can't be done on the VC. Unowninator (talk) 20:37, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
If the Print option within the PC menu acts the same in the VC as in a cartridge, then no, there is nothing that needs to be mentioned on the Pokémon Storage System page. Tiddlywinks (talk) 21:02, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
OK, I tested the unused patches.
Fix_print also changes the behavior of the Pokédex's print option. Normally, when the Game Boy Printer isn't connected, requesting a print makes the game return Printer Error 2 and play the printer theme, which after being dismissed, moves the cursor back to the Pokémon that the player chose in the Pokédex list. The patch would do the same thing except it would play the button-press sound effect and skip the error altogether.
As to the Japanese-only disable_print_check, it breaks the printer at Summer Beach House if the player tries to print, both when displaying Printer Error 2 (printer not connected) or when the game is printing (printer is connected), causing a freeze. This explains why they didn't use it.
disable_print is the only print-related patch that was used and it changes the behavior of the Pokédex's print option to play the button-press sound effect and do nothing. There are no other patches for Game Boy Printer functionality so everything is the same on both Game Boy and Virtual Console. The printer patches for the French, German, Italian, and Spanish Yellow VC releases are the same ones as the English patches. SatoMew2 (talk) 22:32, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
