ANNOYING DOG SCREWED MY GENOCIDE ROUTE

[pebble]

regrettably, i made the decision to try completing the genocide route (since i quit during the sans fight), and after fighting him too many time to count, after i died a sleeping annoying dog popped up. the only way to get rid of it was to exit the game. when i went back in it had already reset my whole game and started fresh, complete with being able to pick a new name.

i mean, it's definetely toby fox pranking us and reiterating the point that he doesn't want us to do geno. anyway, i looked online and didn't see a whole lot on it so i wanted to know if anyone else has had this happen. thanks!

It's a glitch.

It is not intentional and Toby is not discouraging you from doing the Genocide Route. Toby doesn't care which route you do. If Toby really didn't want you to do the Genocide Route, he wouldn't have put:

*New gameplay mechanics
*New diolouge
*New music
*2 Genocide-exclusive boss fight (not including Mettaton Neo)
*A permanent effect on the game
*Things crucial to the game's story

In the run.

you bring up some good points... i think it's a possibility. i just find it weird that there would be a glitch with such extensive effects. i mean, glitches and bugs usually are just small little things, so idk. i always felt like toby put those things in there just to make a point about choice, but yeah you could be right there

The glitch is not intentional. You just have bad luck.

It's not speculation.

This glitch can happen anywhere in the game. Not just genocide.

It's not speculation. The glitch only occurs if your save file is somehow corrupted.
There are two variations:

1: Annoying Dog is walking in place with the song "Dance of Dog" playing.

2: Annoying Dog is sleeping with the song "Sigh of Dog" playing.
