Pets can do silly things. They ate newspapers, ripped cloth, and made fun of us. But a famous fish accidentally leaked its owner’s credit card details on one occasion Purple Pokémon live. Automated communication reports that the fish has found its way into the eShop and does a few things, including changing the user’s nickname and adding coins to the owner’s wallet.
Okay, this one needs some context, right? Mutekimaru channel is a Japanese YouTuber whose most popular live streaming series is called ‘Fish Pokemon’. On these lines – you guessed it – some pet fish can actually play through an entire Pokémon game. Channel played over Pokémon crystals, Green leafand Jadeamong many others — with 20.00 hours of playtime, this school of fish is extremely impressive.
But how do they play? Mutekimaru has created a program and circuit board that uses motion tracking. The board has a sheet of paper and various button inputs on it, and it is located behind the aquarium. When the fish swims with the button, the circuit board will catch the movement and input the corresponding motion.
On January 15, while playing Pokémon Violet on stream, the game crashed and the fish found itself going into the Switch’s menu, then the eShop. It’s been a… journey, to say the least. Upon entering the eShop, the fish manages to browse through some games like Minecraft and Minecraft Legends, but not before going to the wallet page and adding 500 yen to Mutekimaru’s account — that’s where the credit card details are!
Look, we know we said we don’t like fish Pokémon the other day – but this proves that real fish is much more fun! We will not happy if our pet fish revealed our card details online, but you know. At least it’s a unique skill…?
