Like every Pokémon game, Black and White hide their share of small bugs and secrets. Nothing game-breaking: rather curiosities that people enjoy reproducing, nods left by the developers, and events that many players have never seen.
All the bugs in this guide are harmless to your save file. They were found by the community, notably by Poképédia.
🐛Bugs to reproduce
| The bug | How to reproduce it |
|---|---|
| The boulder in Icirrus Gym | In the last icy maze, stand under the last Black Belt and move forward: the boulder no longer blocks you. |
| The stuck shadow | Still in Icirrus City, on the springboards: when you jump, your shadow stays stuck to your feet instead of staying on the ground. |
| The musicians of Accumula Town | While they are playing, hop on the Bicycle, leave town and come back: they are still playing, although they should have stopped. |
| Tornadus’s cry (Black) | When Tornadus bursts out in front of the house on Route 7, you hear Thundurus’s cry. |
| The slope in Opelucid City | On the first small slope of the Gym, you can leave the main path upward or downward. |
| The talkative door in Nacrene City | At the Café Warehouse, turn around on the rug and talk to the door: it answers with the text of the shelves at the back. |
| The Forewarn bug | When a Pokémon with the Ability Forewarn enters battle, the message shows the name of the Pokémon that was examined in its place: “Emboar was alerted to Blast Burn!” instead of “Munna was alerted to…”. |
| The Fisherman of Striaton City | Until he has given you the Big Pearl, you can walk through him by surfing toward him while holding left. |
| The ghost trees | In Giant Chasm, two trees in the northwest of the inner area can be walked through. |
🏢The GAME FREAK building
In Castelia City stands the headquarters of GAME FREAK, the studio that develops the Pokémon games. Only the 21st floor is accessible: the developers work there.
