Pokémon BDSP glitches

Loose is a shorter word than either release or discharge and 'let' would have been four extra characters (word + space). In the older games, dex entries had to fit in two tiny text boxes so I imagine their usage of loose as a verb is a holdover from when they had limited space. Gamefreak really likes using some variant of the phrasing 'loosing electricity' when describing electric types:

Pikachu:
FireRed/Y: It has small electric sacs on both its cheeks. If threatened, it looses electric charges from the sacs.
Pearl: If it looses crackling power from the electrical pouches on its cheeks, it is being wary.

Raichu:
Pearl/Y: It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.

Elekid:
Blue/Red Rescue Team: I wave my arms in circles to loose electric attacks!

Electivire:
Platinum/Black/White: Heedless of enemy attacks, it closes in, shoves its tails onto the foe, then looses high voltage.

Magnemite:
Pokemon Ranger: Magnemite looses electricity to attack. It can also recharge your Styler.

I'm pretty sure the only reason I even know this usage of the word loose is because I got confused playing FireRed as a kid for the same reason lol

I could see the Pokedex character limit for older versions coming into play. I played Yellow on my GB Color all the time, and was all in on the electric type then. I'm kind of surprised it didn't trigger my memory of those entry descriptions.

Ooo! I bet that took you by surprise when it happened! Did it happen each time you tried to walk under there or only that one time?

It definitely caught me by surprise haha. I was like what the? It only happened the once. Walking that way after seems to be normal.

I saw a glitch on YouTube that goes as follows: if you hatch an egg at the exact time the NPC blocking the route to Sunyshore stops you, you can bypass him completely and move on to Sunyshore. You can do this as early as 2 badges in the game. Beware though because it can sequence break things in the game.

I had it freeze and not let me do anything in the middle of two separate battles, one was a gym battle, I had to restart go through the entire gym again and beat all the trainers again and the leader since I didn't manually save before battling the gym leader. I learned my lesson. I save so frequently now. I have the digital copy of Shining Pearl

I noticed today that when I evolved a zubat, the glowing evolution circle thing was just nowhere to be seen - so I could clearly see the shape of Zubat and Golbat changing sizes and finally evolve. Honestly kind of liked it more?

I've experienced a few without trying. It also crashed randomly when I was entering Fuego Ironworks, which was a bit of a nuisance because I don't have auto-save on (although, looking at it from a different angle... it's probably a good thing it's off).

One minor glitch that I don't see as frequently reported - on Route 210, the game decided not to load the fog effect. I was able to browse without using (or even having at that stage) Defog, until I battled a trainer that reset the fog.

My game froze again last night in the middle of battling the two Team Galactic commanders right before my battle with Cyrus on Spear Pillar I had to shut off the game and restart, thankfully I had saved right before the battle. That's the third time I've had that happen in this game

I cant stand the fact that you get stuck on the edges of the trees. I kept getting an army of wild pokemon every time I took a step even though I was in the same square of grass if that makes sense lol
