When we were kids I was playing on my older sibling’s copy of leaf green exploring the lost cave on the sevii isles and ran into a “funny bird hat” pokemon and accidentally K.O-ed it before I could catch it, with no luck in finding another one. Later through the anime I learned the pokemon was Murkrow and afterwards I looked online and found out Murkrow dose spawn in the lost cave but only in fire red. I have not seen anything similar happening online. Dose anyone know how or why this happened? Did our game forgot which version is was for that one encounter?
The cart is genuine I was at toys r us when we bought it. While I’m not gonna discount the possibility of miss remembering it’s just unlikely it was shocking it kinda became a core memory. We were stuck trying to navigate the lost cave because we were dum children, and it stood out being a newish pokemon encounter. I figured it was just a low spawn rate. Idk my friend in cs likes to tell me “if a glitch can’t be replicated it was probably a cosmic particle”
