While we all know and love the game, glitches seem to be something that are a common occurrence. There seems to be more than usual these days with all the visual errors, which made me think about all the glitches present when the game first launched as well.

So I want to ask: what's a memorable glitch you've experienced while playing the game? My favorite is this teeny tiny Krabby that I found. (see if you can find him in the photo ;))

If I remember it right, that tiny Pokemon glitch happens sometimes when you tap on a Pokemon to start an encounter, but it goes wrong and never takes you to the actual encounter screen; instead, it puts you in a limbo where it appears you're in the overworld but all controls disappear and occasionally you see the Pokemon "attacking", which makes the edges of the screen get that shaking graphic.

My most memorable glitch was from the early days, with the 1 2 or 3 steps system, where everything looked like 3 steps. Apparently, there are no Pokemon near you but far there you get everything. Did I just put a Repel or something :p

Just yesterday I was trying to catch a Pokemon and it looked like the trees and the background were on fire. It had the flame/smoke graphics from what I think were from battling gyms :O

Ah yeah, I've seen that too. But I'm not sure if it's a glitch or just a new interesting detail in the background.
 
My favourite Pokémon GO glitch which has happened to me and I don't think anyone else has seen before is when the game has made it seem like I was so small on the map that I wasn't even there and PokéStops, Gyms and road lines were so huge on the map. I attach a picture of this unique glitch which nobody who I have shown it to has seen it before.
