So this argument cropped up on Facebook.

Basically some guy caught a shiny Entei on Fire Red, but an argument ensues as soon as IVs was mentioned. I was merely observing the argument by the way.

For the purposes of this topic, the person arguing that the IV thing was a glitch will be pencilled as "BS"

 

BS: Shame the IVs on it are garbage, but hey at least you used a Master Ball on it, cuz if it used Roar, it'd be gone forever

Guy 1: How can you even tell what it IVs are just by looking at the menu?

BS: @Guy 1: Because there was a glitch in Gen 3 that caused Roaming pokemon to have very low IVs (I was even able to figure out its nature through trial and error)

Guy 2: Stop trying. Lol

BS: Why should I?

Guy 2: Just admit you were wrong and move on, no point in trying to prove yourself right with random "glitches" and such.

BS: Except, I'm not wrong though. How about you put the Entei's stats into an IV calculator then come back.

Guy 2: *Insert link to Pseudorandom Number Generator page* ..read up and learn that they're randomly generated, not a glitch

BS: *Insert link to a list of glitches in Gen 3*

Guy 2: But that glitch did not occur. "While the HP IV is unaffected, the pokemon can only have a maximum Attack IV of 7. The other IVs will always be 0."

BS: I'll say what I said a couple of comments ago; put the Entei's stats into an IV calculator then come back.

Guy 2: Still not glitched lol. Plus it's Gen 3/4. Doesn't really matter unless you're playing with others via cable. You were in the wrong and that's that. Bye now

BS: I still say you were in the wrong here, not me.

 

So who was right here? "BS" or the other bloke (who is saying that the glitch didn't occur)?

 

For reference, the Entei's stats are: Level 50 (Rash) HP 178 Atk 121 Def 90 SpA 104 SpD 72 Speed 105
