A youtuber ends up with 500 yen less following a strange experiment.
Unfortunately, over the years we have heard all kinds of stories from children and adolescents who spend thousands of euros on online games with their parents’ credit cards, but today’s case is somewhat different, since the protagonist is not a child, but a fish. The funniest thing regarding this story is that everything happened live while broadcasting a game on YouTube.
As unlikely as it may seem, in an oversight, your pet was able to enter the Nintendo eShop, add funds with your credit card and download various articles. Incredible true?

It is an experiment by the Japanese youtuber Mutekimaru Channel, who with a series of intricate tools was able to monitor fish movement and translate it into game commands to see if a fish might complete Pokémon Sapphire, and it did. It took him a whopping 3,195 hours, but he managed to finish the game. This time he tried to do the same experiment with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, but it didn’t end the same way. He already had 1144 hours of play when, in a break from the YouTube live, without the content creator to fix the situation, the game crashed (things that happen) and the system continued to pick up the movement of the fish.
These harmless little animals were able to access the Nintendo eShop twice (unintentionally of course, they are only fish), so it happened that on one of those visits they found a way to add funds to the youtuber’s wallet and spent 500 yen (4 dollars) through a credit card that I had saved in the system. Not only exposed their payment information to all viewers, later the fish were able to buy an avatar, download nintendo 64 emulator and change his user account name from “Mutekimaru” to “ROWAWAWAWA¥”. All this for leaving a fish unattended for a few hours, what a danger.
The happy ending of the story is that the fish were not harmed during this movie theft and that Nintendo returned his 500 yen to the youtuber following explaining what happened. Imagine that you are from the Nintendo SAT and a user tells you that his fish has spent 500 yen by mistake, what would you think?
