  • Yeah I think I remember that too. In gen 1 there’s the “mew glitch” which relies on taking very specific actions so the list of possible wild Pokémon data does not get properly set when transitioning to a new zone.

    It’s plausible that it could affect fishing too, especially since many of those locations presumably don’t have encounter tables, as they’re not intended to have wild Pokémon in them.

    There were tons of supposed ways to get mew that were total bull. It’s kind of fascinating how that info spread across the world’s playgrounds














  • I second the Debian recommendation, with one caveat: if ever you need to install software that is not maintained by Debian (I.e. it is installed using a command like make install instead of apt install) then you could run into significant problems.

    Debian uses a system (called APT) to manage the logistics of all your apps and libraries. This is wonderful until you add a program using a different method that APT doesn’t know about. In that case you can “end up in dependency hell” where your system can no longer update or install new packages.

    Advanced users can work around this limitation to install things safely, but for a user just starting out I suggest to only ever install packages that exist in the Debian repositories (that is, can be installed with APT or one of its various frontends). This can mean the programs are a little outdated or not available.

    Debian has a document that explains this in greater detail, which I suggest every Debian user reads: Don’t Break Debian
