To this end, it has been discovered by Pokémon fans that the infamous “roaring roar” bug has been fixed. For those unfamiliar with the lore, if you chose either Squirtle or Bulbasur as your first Pokémon at the start of the game, either Entei or Raikou would show up first in the post-game. Whatever the case, when you encounter either, if they use Roar, they would flee the battle. The problem is that the game registered this not as either fleeing but being knocked out, leaving Pokémon fans permanently locked out from catching either due to no fault of their own.
22-Year-Old Infamous Bug Finally Fixed
The good news is that this bug has been completely fixed. It took Pokémon fans a little bit to discover this because they had to make it to the post-game, but it has been confirmed by multiple users to have been fixed. What hasn’t been fixed, unfortunately, is the IV’s bug involving the legendaries, suggesting this is less the result of a bug and more the result of bad coding that proved too complicated to fix.
If this has been fixed, it suggests other glitches and bugs that plagued the GBA games back in the day have also been fixed, which is a pleasant surprise, as many assumed these ports were going to be the most bare minimum ports possible, but this is clearly not the case.
