This elongated pomegranate is the seam that, if pulled the right way, will unravel the game's world.
You look up what its associated glitch allows you to do, and you find out you can turn a Seedot into a Deoxys if trained right! Or into one of over 65 thousand freaky question mark creatures, aside from ? Unown! The way to do it is unintuitve at first, lengthy in general, and heavily reliant on random chance, and the Deoxys won't even listen to you during battles... but still neat! The duplication glitch at the Battle Tower is so small in comparison!!
Then, a rabbit hole opens up beneath you. Yearning for a higher degree of control over the universe, you jump in. Inside, the loom with which to reorder the fabric of absolutely everything.
Minimal set-up well within your means. Renaming your PC boxes. Peering at the summary of one specific species of the odd question mark creatures.
A way to enter and execute code. A way to yield hyperspecific results at one press of the A button, anytime, anywhere.
Teach any move to any Pokémon. Change any Pokémon's stats. Change yourself: name, IDs, gender. Get any item. Set the obedience flag of your Deoxys from earlier to 1 so that it listens to your commands in battle. Create an outbreak of Jirachi on Mirage Island for the next day. Change the seed to a point in time where a shiny encounter is mere frames away. Make legendary Pokémon reappear. Hell, teach your shiny, battle-ready, Southern Island Latios a glitch move that turns into Roar of Time when transferred to Gen. 4.
In Greek mythos, the pomegranate is revered as the fruit of the dead. Fitting, then, how the Pomeg Berry lets us bring to life such arts, be they long dead, or be they entirely absent from historical records, from never having existed in the first place, the berry thereby straying from its designated domain. To it, rules are mere suggestions anyway.
this shit rules‼️‼️
