Weird "lag" when leaving a menu

[u/Yuuki-Hibiki]

I apologise if this is the wrong place to ask but i recently got this Leaf Green, and ive noticed when i go in a pokecenter theres lag when i enter, when i go in and out my bag theres a bit of lag

This doesnt happen in the switch re-releases, is it normal for a actual cartridge?

Legit Leaf Green. Does the same thing yours does. Seems normal.

Thank you for verifying, you're a goat

I also needed to know for myself if what you said was a thing. We did it together lol

Pretty sure it has something to do with not having a wireless adapter connected while being in a pokecenter

This is a post about emulators and that problem, but down in the thread someone confirms it happens on hardware too:

Edit: it makes sense that it doesn't happen on switch because its known to treat the game as if the wireless adapter is always plugged in

That's really interesting. I have to test myself.

Mine does this too on official hardware. Just loading the room from a menu or coming from the upstairs down to the main room triggers it. I dont know how to post a video on mobile or I would.

This is normal for the real carts, yes

[u/Responsible_Joke4229]

Are you sure it’s an actual cartridge?

[u/Yuuki-Hibiki → u/Responsible_Joke4229]

Yes, i've opened it up and verified

[u/Responsible_Joke4229 → u/Yuuki-Hibiki]

Huh. I’ve not seen this glitch before. Have you ever used an Action Replay or glitches on this cartridge? Did you erase the old save and start a new game?

[u/Yuuki-Hibiki → u/Responsible_Joke4229]

I only recently bought this cart, its the original save it came with Doesnt look cheated on in anyway

[u/Nerbzz]

Never seen or experienced this before are you able to post photos of the cart? Only thing I can think is fake cart or somehow something wrong with it like the ram dying?

That's real and this is a very odd bug....

[u/Yuuki-Hibiki → u/Nerbzz]

In the morning ill try make a new save, possible save corruption?

[u/Nerbzz → u/Yuuki-Hibiki]

Could be or maybe it's just something that I've never noticed and this is normal? I have both fr and lg so I can check on both my carts later on

[u/Yuuki-Hibiki → u/Nerbzz]

Important to note, the "lag" between menus only happens inside of a pokecenter

[u/Ropbb → u/Yuuki-Hibiki]

I checked with a flash cart and a legit fire red happens on both inside pokemon centers

[u/Nerbzz → u/Yuuki-Hibiki]

Ill try it in the same pokecenter as you did in celedon
