Line 19:
*** The [[bp:Game Boy Tower|Game Boy Tower]] and the [[bp:Virtual Console|Virtual Console]], despite being official, are also emulators, and not particularly accurate ones, so be aware.
*** If you want to document glitches or glitch variants that only happen on a particular emulator (especially an official one), it is acceptable, but please clearly indicate what emulator you are using, and if possible, the difference in behavior from original hardware.
** '''If you are having any difficulties reproducing the glitch, or if you just don'tdo not feel like doing that, please reach out to our community through [https://discord.gg/EA7jxJ6 the GCRI Discord]''' or a discussion page on this wiki (for a new glitch, you can do it on [[:Category:Generational Glitches|the category page for glitches of that generation]]). There has been a fair number of glitches that took a lot of effort to reproduce, such as [[NPC collision bypassing glitches|a mysterious incident where an NPC walked through the Cable Club lady]]. Of course, even if you are not having any difficulty, you are welcome to reach out to us.
* Alternatively, you may want to check out [[List of Pokémon disassembly projects|one of the Pokémon disassembly projects on github]], especially if you have some experience with programming. If a glitch is documented on one of those disassembly projects, that is considered a reliable source. If you can ''find the cause'' of a glitch from the disassembly, then it is not only acceptable but welcome (but please note that some of those disassembly projects are not complete yet).
* If a glitch is [[:Category:Pokémon glitches officially acknowledged by Nintendo|officially acknowledged by Nintendo]], that counts as a reliable source too, especially considering that such a glitch may be impossible to otherwise verify if they are fixed in a later version. You may still want to experiment with it if possible, though, since official acknowledgements usually do not tell the whole story.
* As a last resort, you may use the template {{[[Template:Verify|Verify]]}} for information on the internet that is likely to be true (because it is from a website you believe to be trustworthy and/or there is video or picture proof). Again, we'd would like you to reach out to us before doing this.
 
== Neutrality ==
Articles should be written from a ''neutral point of view''. This means your own personal likes, dislikes, or biases should not dictate what you write.
 
Since glitching is a science, articles in this wiki should usually consist mostly of facts, not opinions. However, there can still be statements that are opinion-based, like whether something is a [[glitch]], as opposed to a [[non-glitch exploit]] or a logical consequence of another glitch; whether some technique is the most convenient to achieve a particular goal; whether some technique should be allowed in a certain speedrun; etc. In those cases, please make sure that those statements reflect the consensus of the glitching community as well as the consensus of the general Pokémon community. If there is a controversy, do as you would do on Wikipedia: [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|Don'tDo not take sides, explain the sides, etc.]]
 
Again, when in doubt, please reach to us. Alternatively, [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Be bold|be bold]], and don'tdo not take it personally if your edits are changed or reverted.
