Talk:Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Is it possible that the Pokeballs spinning at the start of the battle was just one of the instances that the game will crash/freeze/hang as one anti-piracy scheme altogether? Because there are many instances in which people had trouble getting a HG/SS ROM to work because the game would freeze randomly, or wouldn't even work. Nowadays, the posted ROMs are all pre-patched and fixed and you can't find one that will freeze/crash/hang. Spiritix 00:19, 14 November 2012 (EST)
 * I definitely think there's more AP techniques than this. If its true that the "Spinning Balls of Death" were triggered by AP, then WHY does it trigger then? You don't see Picnicker Liz until about 1-2 hours in, if not more. There's more in there, we just need to find it. I will say though, this certainly wasn't a random freeze, the music is still playing. Normally, either the music would stop or play the same note repeatedly, not continue playing the song as if nothing happened. Its also possible that the Pokemon data somehow became corrupted, and the game didn't know what to do. Tehkapi 06:05, 14 December 2012 (EST)
 * Briefly discussed (in regards to a different game) here. In short, by putting the anti-piracy 1-2 hours into the game, it forces the crackers to play those 1-2 hours each time they try to disable the protection. EdwardTohr 06:55, 14 December 2012 (EST)
