Said to be fixed in v0.93
------
If you talk to Charmander to use a Giant Rock, then decline giving Pikachu a Burnt Berry, after beating the Pikachu the PC menu will pop up. When you close the menu an unused dialogue when you lose to the Pikachu will be shown (it's unused because you normally would white out instead).
When you talk to the Pikachu again he'll act like you've given him some berry (instead of the defeat message) and screen will be displaced (only graphically).
Not in video: If you save and reset after the PC menu but before talking to the Pikachu again (to obtain the Curo Shard), you can fight it again for extra experience, but the PC menu won't pop up again. You can potentially use Thief to get 2 Light Balls this way.
Devs have said it's an emulator inaccuracy problem, but I think they just didn't push a Giant Rock before talking to Pikachu while testing.
WARNING: DON'T LET YOUR PARTY HAVE 2 OR MORE POKEMON WHEN CLOSING THE PC MENU SINCE YOU ONLY RETAIN THE FIRST POKEMON IN THE PARTY WHEN EXITING THE FOREST. ALL OTHER POKEMON IN YOUR PARTY WILL BE DELETED FOREVER!
Oh also, the Butterfree who joins your party cannot be deposited. Don't bother trying.
