This article is a summary page for different variations of a glitches, etc. when talked about as a whole.
Please note that such examples of glitches appear very commonly, hence it is unlikely that all examples would have been noted here.

A number of spelling mistakes, grammar errors, or translation errors exist in within the Pokémon games. Normally when the game is being developed or translated such errors should be fixed, or changed to suit the punctuality of the new translated game (such errors are often referred to as 'Engrish' if they are badly translated Japanese games), however possibly due to the large size and complexity of Pokémon games a lot of these grammar errors are overseen or missed.

On rarer occassions, if a feature has been altered or removed in the translated game the developers may have forgotten to change it. Perhaps the most common example is the 'Evolving Raichu glitch' where a man states that his Raichu 'went and evolved' which is impossible in normal gameplay. In fact, this phenomenum occured because in the original Japanese games the player would trade the man a Kadabra instead of a Raichu, which would indeed evolve.
