CLARITY

The disk in a Player's Inventory

On September 9th of 2012, a thread on the PokeCommunity forum was made called "Genesect: Hidden Disk?". The thread's creator was said to have found a glitch on Pokemon Black and White where an extra disk for the Pokemon Genesect could be found.

This was said to be a useless disk that would appear at the top of the player's inventory, regardless of what order the items are in and cause a text box to appear when Genesect was told to hold it. The text box contained a chunk of Binary code what, when decripted, said "2010 21st October: Ken said he would be making a new disk for Genesect, he's not himself lately..." Other forum members have described to have similar experiences, but with different Codes.

These codes ranged from the past, present and the future. Some describing Ken Sugimori going mentally defective and not sleeping, for example: "2020 10th April: Ken is going insane, This is ridiculous, he shouts at me and slaps me if I don't tell him what he wants!" or "2029 4th July: I'm reaching breaking point... Stop this madness...", However, some are more passive such as "2012 7th May: I think the design for the starters are coming on well..." The codes continued for pages until finally a final paragraph of binary code was decrypted saying "2079 2nd January: I'm implementing these codes into the old Black and White games, just so if anyone does find them, they'll know. They'll know..."

After this message the thread was closed down and it was reported to Game Freak HQ. The disk, apparently named "CLARITY", was deleted from the game's files. Apparently it can still be found, as the codes are still contained in the slot. To find it the player must press A on the tiles on the center and right of the door on the inside of Café Warehouse. However, another forum opened up describing this "It looks like a cabinet full of Pokémon goods." To appear. This further questions the ingenuity of the Alleged Disk, and asks more questions like Why do the codes abruptly end at 2079? AndWhat did the author of the codes think we would know?. The thread, again was quickly closed by the admins and everyone who was included in it was banned from the site permanently. This enigma is a mysterious and odd one. Who knows, it could be a type of message, a message of impending doom...
