Huge X item Exploit

[Mordoth 0]

Currently it is possible to use as many items as you please in a single turn during a double battle where you control both pokemon. (at least it's possible during the battle with serra; I haven't tested it elsewhere.)

Steps to reproduce:

1. enter a double battle where you control both pokemon

2. use an item during first pokemon's turn.

3. press cancel button (x by default)

4. observe that you are returned to first pokemon's turn.

5. repeat as much as desired.

The exploit is obviously lame, since it effectively renders every double battle in the game trivial (serra and aya are some of the very few pokemon battles I've felt truly challenged by in a pokemon game).

(found this bug in episode 9; also present in 10.)

On a related note, Guard Special does not work AND causes the battle scene to go black. (you can still see the menu at the bottom, but pokemon and health bars are invisible) The item is also NOT consumed and allows you to try using it a gain which gives the response From what I've seen, the game does not crash, though it does hang for a few moments before returning you to the bag.

Steps to reproduce:

1. enter a battle.

2. use guard spec.

3. game hangs for a moment

4. game catches up still in bag, item unused.

5. try using again

6. get message saying it won't have any effect (game seems to think it's been used even though it hasn't been consumed).

7. exit bag and observe black battle scene (pokemon appear when hit, but healthbars are invisible as far as I can tell)

Anyways, hope this is useful. I've really enjoyed the game.
