>>20504176Alright, I'll tell you:
It's a version of the Missingno glitch that appeared during development of FRLG. The sprite for Ponyta was miscoloured, so they recoloured it with the correct colour pallet and then hid the incorrect sprite on the game's code. Little did they know the sprite caused a glitch where the miscoloured Ponyta would be obtainable in-game, and when caught, it would mess up your save file and spread to the GBA itself, and it would corrupt the save of any other GBA games inserted into the console. This gltich was not patched by the international versions, so a lot of people ended up having their save file destroyed because of the Ponyta.
