Automatic Super Rod and Releasing Pokemon Glitch
I was doing the fishing thing at the harbor at my friends house and it was working fine but when I got home I had the Super Rod already...
Also when releasing some pokemon (Mostly ones with a lot of white like Goldeen) they become transparent in some areas, it doesn't effect anything but it looks very odd

Re: Automatic Super Rod and Releasing Pokemon Glitch
Just because people gain from it doesn't mean it shouldn't be fixed, it's still a bug

Re: Automatic Super Rod and Releasing Pokemon Glitch
Thanks for the honesty. It doesn't look like it actually gave you the Super Rod though which is good. The bug's been fixed now and as a side note I've also added another Hall of Fame as I apparently forgot about the fishing count.
As for the transparency issue it's a problem with our sprites but unfortunately it's hard to spot if a sprite is transparent or not without a contrasting background. If a tab is kept of all Pokémon with transparent backgrounds we can work our way around fixing them.

Re: Automatic Super Rod and Releasing Pokemon Glitch
The fisherman's hut says I have the old rod now but when I go to fish it still shows the super rod and I'm still catching pokemon like Staryu which shouldn't be available with the old rod (which I'm supposed to be using)

Re: Automatic Super Rod and Releasing Pokemon Glitch
From my understanding you can only catch Goldeen and Remoraid with the Old Rod...and my sprite during fishing is the Super Rod for sure, maybe yours is doing something different

Re: Automatic Super Rod and Releasing Pokemon Glitch
Well as I said Goldeen seems to be the worst, but anything with pure white anywhere on it seems to do it. The white part becoming transparent. I know this is a sprite glitch when using GIF images mostly but sadly I wouldn't know what to do about it except maybe change the format, and that could cause other grapic glitches... I don't know, it only seems to do it with pure white so maybe if you could color them off white while still keeping them in GIF format that might workPikachu3828 wrote:As for the transparency issue it's a problem with our sprites but unfortunately it's hard to spot if a sprite is transparent or not without a contrasting background.

Re: Automatic Super Rod and Releasing Pokemon Glitch
No rush, as I said before it doesn't actually create a problem, it's just a cosmetic thing

Re: Automatic Super Rod and Releasing Pokemon Glitch
I was made aware of the problem and uploaded a fix a few hours ago but I'm unsure as to whether it worked or not. I can only catch Goldeen and Remoraid but I've heard others saying they can still catch other Pokémon they're not supposed to.
Please say when you caught the Pokémon (ie after this post or not) when reporting the error so I can tell whether I've fixed it or not.

Went fishing about five seconds ago and caught a Surskit while I'm supposed to have the Old Rod

I've caught a Lotad, about 30 minutes before this post, so I hope this helps!
