GTS filter glitch: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The '''GTS filter glitch''' was a [[bp:Global Trade System|Global Trade System]] glitch in the initial version of {{XY}}. As it is required to update the game to version 1.1. to use its online features, this glitch no longer occurs.

This glitch is triggered in the [[bp:Generation VI|generation VI]] games in the [[bp:Global Terminal|GTS]].

⚫

This glitch could be replicated by entering the GTS, and applying a filter to narrow down requests to Pokémon that the player has. Once a trade is requested, the game would display the message, ''"A communication error has occurred. Press the Power button, and end the game."''

This is one of a few glitches to have been addressed by Nintendo.

⚫

==Nintendo's response==

==Method==

⚫

Nintendo released a patch for the game, fixing both this issue and the [[Lumiose City save glitch]].

⚫

~~In order to trigger the~~ glitch, ~~the~~ ~~game~~ ~~must not yet patched to version 1.1. The player~~ ~~must~~ ~~enter~~ the GTS, and ~~apply~~ a filter to narrow down requests to Pokémon that the player has. Once a trade is ~~initiated~~, the game ~~will~~ display the message, ''"A communication error has occurred. Press the Power button, and end the game."''

==Cause==

When the filter is applied, the game fails to initialize trade data to prepare for a possible trade during the refresh. This causes it to assume that the Pokémon does not exist, and as a result triggers the error.

==Nintendo's ~~Response~~==

Nintendo released a patch for the game, fixing both this issue and the [[Lumiose City ~~Save~~ ~~Bug~~]].
