Karma94 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I just encountered a shiny zigzagoon on route 102 in hoenn while hunting for ralts, I false swiped it and went into my bag to use the poke ball, and my game crashed?!?!?!? are you kidding me, is there any way to get a 2nd chance to catch it?

Prehax Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Hello [mention]karma94[/mention], there is sadly no second chance to encounter this specific shiny. This bug is well known and called "backpack freeze/lag"; this always happens if you run away from a lot of wild pokemon without refreshing your backpack. There is a simple fix for it; just open your backpack every 5-10 minutes once, to refresh it and if the game still freezes just wait it out; DO NOT click anything or tab out. ♦ Spawn-Changelog ♦ | ♦ Pokémon Spawn related - Suggestions | Feedback | Requests ♦ ♦ Paradox Guild ♦ random number generation An acronym for "random number generator" or "random number generation", it refers to the process by which computers generate apparently random numbers, essentially the computer equivalent of 'chance'.

Frux Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 So I lost a shiny because of a bug? that's not really fair :/ Next time when you register an account on what ever sites/game, please always read the terms and conditions.

Reikou Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 -snip- Unfortunately that pokemon is gone, it can't be recovered and encounters are random so it won't repeat, there is a section on the READ THIS BEFORE MAKING GENERAL SUPPORT TOPIC! thread which covers the bag glitch as it's something that currently cannot be stopped Bag Glitch and Crash This glitch is caused when there was a change in your bag items from the last time to the first time you open that during a battle. When you click the bag during the battle the client will have a small crash (most of the times gets solved just by waiting a few moments) as it is updating the bag information. The longer the time between each opening of the bag the longer the crash will be, players usually experience it when running from a lot of common battles whilst hunting for a rare pokemon. To prevent this issue open the bag every 5-10 minutes as it will maintain your your bag updated. Since there's no more we can do to assist I'll lock this now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
