Claim ID
tea-item-anecdote
Assertion
Breunig describes how the Gemini Pokémon agent fixated on retrieving a non-existent TEA item that exists in the Fire Red and Leaf Green remakes but not in the original Red and Blue games, spending many hours trying to obtain or deliver the TEA item.
Quote
Gemini 2.5 Pro at several points was deluded into thinking that it had to retrieve the TEA in order to progress, and as a result spent many, many hours attempting to find the TEA or to give the guard TEA.
