I encountered a glitch in Pokemon Platinum's Battle Tower which inadvertently led to solving a 15 year old mystery. It's extremely easy to accidentally activate this and lose your entire win streak while challenging the Battle Tower. In this video I go over what happened, how it was solved, and how you can prevent it from happening to yourself! I also explore if it happens in Diamond, Pearl, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.

Thanks for watching and subscribing!
