==Hey==
==Hey==
Since you're the head of Project GlitchDex, I thought I'd ask you about this. There's been a lot of stuff going around about this supposed "[[8F Glitch]]" nonsense, so I've got a question for you: do you think deliberately modifying the game's memory access in an emulator counts as a glitch? I personally don't think so because I think that deliberately changing the game will naturally cause errors and screwups, whereas most other glitch Pokémon are placeholder data that can be found in unmodified, regular gameplay (even the GameShark-only glitches would exist in normal gameplay if not for the limitations of the Mew Glitch, Special stats only go so high). So what do ''you'' think? Should this stuff stay, go, or get merged into one "memory access modification" article? Thanks for your time.

:I'm not MM, but I'll give my opinion on this case anyway (and from talks I've had on AIM with other admins, this seems to be the general consensus): to get the [[8F Glitch]] you need to use a ROM (an illegal action which we do not endorse), and mess with the game's coding (which, like you said, is obviously not the same as most glitches), and therefore the notability of such articles is more than questionable. I think we should delete them, but I'll wait for some more opinions before we do that. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">electAbuzz</span>''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">z</span>''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''<span style="color:#ED9121">z</span>''']] 23:44, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

::I would tend to agree with the both of you.  Unless this effect can be somehow replicated on an actual game, there's no way this counts as a glitch.  [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno.
