*** 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
* 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.

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|
Again, when in doubt, please reach to us. Alternatively, [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Be bold|be bold]], and
