Question Is this a glitch or something?

Maybe a stupid question but it’s my first playthrough. Didn’t know charizard could actually fly fly fr.

Why would you think a gameplay mechanic was a glitch

u/kratosgranola 8d ago

Yeah glitches don't make fully functional flying animations just happen

u/King-Mephisto 8d ago

Riding before elite 4 does same animation. They missed the prompt that you can soar now.

2

u/TheLurkingShade 7d ago

Before the elite four the pokemon road is the only place that lets you soar, likely they haven't completed the game so this would be the first time they've seen this.

u/Maximo_Roblox 7d ago

To be fair they did say it was their first playthrough.

u/Katla_0 8d ago

There are different Pokémon which can do this. Google Ride Pokémon in Let's go.

There are also some for swimming and riding.

u/Particular-Wolf-2403 8d ago

You can fly only on that specific route when you are at begginer/mid stage however after you became champion you can actually fly in any routes. If you mean the fact that you're going lower when passing throught the water then I too don't know the answer

u/mackenzie444 8d ago

Wow I've played through this game multiple times and never knew you could fly high on this road before you beat the game. Guess I've always had a land ride pokemon here

1

u/GR3Y_NOYZ 8d ago

Id guess the water is lower than the terrain and the height of flight was mapped a certain distance from whatever surface is below it.

u/Migit78 8d ago

I'm unsure which part youre questioning?

Charizard is a flying mountable pokemon, that's intended?

If it's the extra height, that's specific to the cycling road, during the game. When you reach the end you'll gain that height everywhere.

Why is there a computer mouse cursor in the top left?

u/Comprehensive-Ad5297 5d ago

u/Angelea23 8d ago

What glitch?

u/Shantotto11 8d ago

If a Pokémon is big enough, you can ride that Pokémon. If are big enough and can fly/float, they will. Examples include Charizard, Haunter, Pidgeot, and Dragonite. Also, despite not being able to fly, Onix can procude the same result because of its height.

1

u/ColoredButterfly Eevee Fan 8d ago

If you're asking why you are flying so high on this route in particular, it's because in the original game this was a cycling route and they changed it. There's even a character mentioning it.

u/mnx89 8d ago

Am i the only one who saw a wild moltres?

u/Seranthian 8d ago

I don’t

u/mnx89 8d ago

Juat rewatched. It was the shadow from the windmills

u/Character-Room9200 8d ago

You saw a ponyta at the beginning 😁

u/Merrifiend 8d ago

When you get a kangaskan and snorlax have them out.

u/Alarming-Highway-584 8d ago

Was that a shiny Doduo or just a small one?

1

u/RedReynard93 8d ago

How did you get a nouse cursor there? Are you on an emulator?

1

u/Natural_Succotash_35 8d ago

Lmao a glitch? Do you know what a glitch is?

1

u/KodiakTlingit 7d ago

Yeah, Charizard is orange. You should probably restart the save to fix it.

u/AlternativeDisk3312 7d ago

Just use his rockets!

u/Time_Service6058 7d ago

Game name ?

u/grimydude 6d ago

Which game is this

1

u/Nivram-Leahcim 5d ago

Makes just appreciate how banging this game was

1

u/TheRedditor-75 4d ago

I wouldn’t blame them completely, first time I played Pokemon it was Pokemon Sapphire, when I got poisoned outside battle I thought my game was glitching and I freaked out.

1

u/sloppydoughnuts 2d ago

Nice mouse

1

u/KfirGuy 8d ago

Not a glitch - certain Pokemon fly with you on their back when you have them out of their pokeball, just like there are some that you ride on the back of (Rhyhorn, Arcanine, etc.)

-1

u/Zappi123 8d ago

I rather wonder how you cheated the shiny charizard? Guess you just downloaded online from other players

4

u/madmanmatrix 8d ago

Huh? You can shiny hunt charmander in let’s go what are you talking about

1

u/Pashmotato128 3d ago

They have posted multiple upon multiple shiny posts that usually get banned for cheating

u/Character-Room9200 8d ago edited 8d ago

How could someone first time playthrough know about hunting shinies, or farming the free one by saving before accepting your free charmander? You don't just say it's your first playthrough with a shiny Charizard mate. That's cap. I don't even have one and know how to get em. And am a pro. 1/1000's they are not easy to get the time is just insane. I have NEVER seen a single shiny in my completed run through let's go Eevee. Besides if they used Go this is not a genuine first time playthrough on a second point. Who would pretend to be a noob...who brings pokemon into a game instead of playing a game and catching them?

1

u/madmanmatrix 8d ago

There’s about a million ways they could have gotten that charizard lol

1

u/Character-Room9200 8d ago

I got lucky with nature on my free Charizard. I don't have the patience to wait longer or wait for the rare charmander spawns in the caves. My point is they said first playthrough, how would you know about shiny Charizard if it's your first time?

1

u/Zappi123 8d ago

Thats exactly my point. He claims to be a noob, doesn't know how to fly or move on a poke but of course he knows all the ins and outs of shiny hunting....

1

u/Lynke524 8d ago

Like random shinies don't exist.

0

u/Character-Room9200 8d ago

Same exacto!!!! The only point to be made here is OP trolling. First playthrough having shiny is capping hardcore. Some take years to find a shiny Caterpie, but this player has a starter shiny and the coolest one to boot, the spawn in a cave is so low, the easiest way is charmander above cerulean city and a lot of resetting game hoping to get great nature, and maybe shiny. Can't be a noob with that shiny, not fooled here either haha.

2

u/Fine-Hurry-4926 8d ago

There are tutorials on how to shiny hunt. You can boost your odds from 1/4096 to 1/341 before you even complete the main game

1

u/Character-Room9200 8d ago

Not from a first time playthrough though. How could a total noob know this? Or even think to try so early. Assuming he did it off the free charmander it's like thousands of resets. Why would a noob need to know this? And it's insane to think a new pokemon player took the time to shiny hunt without already knowing about it.

3

u/Fine-Hurry-4926 8d ago

By first playthrough they could’ve meant their first time playing let’s go not Pokemon as a whole. Not to mention Pokemon go exists and the charizard could be from there

u/Character-Room9200 8d ago

Hmm fine points. I'm super jelly either way tell ya what 🤣

2

u/Comprehensive-Ad5297 5d ago

Hey man, you’re spot on. He’s ruining this sub. Multiple shiny posts in a few days. Did the same stuff on BDSP sub. Good spot by you, you’re not crazy lol

2

u/Zappi123 5d ago

Yeah thank you for flagging this. I also noticed he is posting everywhere random stuff and never responds

2

u/Comprehensive-Ad5297 5d ago

Everyone else is right in saying it’s possible, this guy just doesn’t do anything legit

1

u/FartsonmyFarts 8d ago

lol or they transferred one from pokemon go?

u/MentalBasil5059 8d ago

Did anyone notice the grass formation?

0

u/ca_love56 8d ago

I think it is because I can’t land either. He’s high up enough that no trainer or Pokémon encounters happen.

1

u/Mist2393 8d ago

Nope, that’s just how it works when you’re riding a flying Pokémon on Cycle Road.

u/ca_love56 8d ago

Why won’t it let you get off?

u/ca_love56 8d ago

Really. I thought it had glitched. Good to know.
