What to include for a Pikachu follower glitch
For intermittent Surf or tracking problems, several save states from the same ROM build are more useful than a single late-state snapshot.
- Before the problem (on land, following normally)
- Surf entry and after swimming several tiles
- After a battle, especially a wild encounter you escaped
- The shore exit and moment Pikachu becomes unsynchronized
Privacy and compatibility: GitHub issue attachments may be publicly accessible when published in a public repository. Only upload saves you are comfortable sharing. Use the same ROM build when capturing and replaying an .svs. When testing new builds, start from a regular in-game .sav, not a previous build's .svs.
