There are hundreds of Pokemon available throughout the numerous installments of the saga of Nintendobut one of the most special of all is Chatot. The creature that the Pokédex registers as number 441, first appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS with a very special ability.
And after capturing the normal-type bird, players could record the sound they wanted for Chatot to play during battles when they used the move Chat. An ingenious way to make good on the Pokédex description, since it states that the creature “imitates the sounds of its rivalsmaking them believe that they are friends and preventing them from attacking him.”
Of course, this feature extended to the entire map of the campaign mode, but it also applied to the multiplayer battles that could be fought on the portable console. As a result, any user could hear insults, jokes and absolutely any sound that the opponent wanted, since Neither Nintendo nor Game Freak imposed restrictions to the recordings.
In this way, in the fifth generation It was not possible to use Chatot in the Global Terminal during random matchmaking. Bird is the only Pokémon that is neither Legendary nor Mythical to have received such a ban. Therefore, starting with the sixth generation, it is no longer possible to play pre-recorded audio to avoid further problems.
Both Japanese companies have not confirmed the real reason for carrying out this decision, but it is clear that generated problems and conflicts during matches. In compensation, Chatter went from increasing the chance of causing Confusion to causing it without fail, so at least the move is more effective in combat.
