[@luchalerae7687]

Shut up

[@tctrainconstruct2592]

2:19 actually, the water tiles are used instead. when the games got internationalized, the tile that determined wild encounters was changed to the bottom RIGHT tile for some reason. This is the same reason as why a lot of tiles in Viridian Forest can't give you wild encounters, specifically the ones with a flower in the bottom right corner. Speedrunners use this to make wild encounters extremely unlikely, but it doesn't work on the Japanese version.

[@cybersaiyan9596]

That “Plzlike” thing was really clever I do have to admit

[@themetalone7739]

When I was like 10, playing my pokemon red, I experimented with Missing Numbers for a pretty long time. Once I learned that leveling them up can evolve them into a real pokemon, I was convinced I could use this trick to get a Mew. None of my efforts bore fruit, because I had no idea it was the trainer name that determined what appeared...still, gotta admit I'm pretty impressed with myself for how close to the mark I was, considering my age.

[@montgomeryfortenberry]

[@steveluvscows2490]

...that only knew defensive moves.

[@steveluvscows2490]

CLG Skrypt NA That's because Missingno.'s sprite data extends to both the RAM and ROM of the game. So catching it basically messes up the game.

[@herpaTROBSON]

It's too bad that when you use the glitched pokemon in one battle it reverts to lv100. Caught a lv133 Rapidash. Was kinda sad when it dropped down

2:42 shore tiles don't generate encounters, but water tiles do. in international releases, what determines a tile is the bottom *right* corner of the tile. In Japanese releases, it is correctly the bottom left, and so doesn't work.

[@dripherobrinelvl8335]

I'm not quitting making Melee videos; I'm just trying out a new series while I'm recovering from being burned out on making Melee content. I'll return to Melee when I'm motivated to work on it again, which will most likely be very soon. Until then, here's a neat glitch video.

[@scatteraxis]

[@PricklyCucumbers]

But before we do that, we first need to go over parallel universes.

[@entiow1416]

+Prickly Cucumbers and to efficiently to do that, we need to input a .25 A press

[@ChaosCreationsLP]

This is all stuff I knew coming into this video, but You're little experiment at the end earned you and instant subscriber. I can't wait to see what other glitches you investigate.

[@tabbender1232]

Maybe you should do a video about the Pomeg Glitch from Gen 3 and its sub-glitches. There's A LOT to talk about, including various glitch Pokemons with various effects.

[@Matt23488]

You are correct about the world tiles being split into 4 smaller tiles. But what's actually happening is a bit different from what you say in the video. The bottom right tile is actually used to determine if wild encounters are possible or not, while the bottom left tile determines which bank of wild pokemon memory to pull wild pokemon data from. The bottom right tile is water, which means wild encounters are possible. But the bottom left tile is a land tile, which tells the game to pull data from the bank of wild pokemon associated with land (remember, in Viridian City you can fish, water pokemon are stored in a different bank). This is also the reason a different glitch is possible on Red and Blue. In the Viridian Forest, if you pay close attention, some of the grass tiles are decorated with a flower sub-tile. The ones that have a flower sub-tile on the bottom right do not produce encounters, because the flower sub-tile is not associated with wild pokemon encounters. Neither of those glitches work in Pokemon Yellow. They fixed the code so that the same sub-tile determines if wild encounters are possible and which bank to pull wild pokemon data from, which they designated the bottom-left tile. That way, surfing on the east coast of Cinnabar does not produce any wild encounters.

[@Crystal_2]

Yeah. Honestly this has had me wondering a bit about whether the subtile discrepnacy was actually intended in order to make some of the viridian forest tiles not trigger pokemon on purpose (while looking like tall grass tiles).

[@Viva_Reverie]

I am very much for these kinds of videos, this kind of stuff is really fascinating to me.

WHAT? I didn,t need to go through all the other shitty steps to get Missingno? I can go straight from the old man to cinnebar?!?! rip childhood

[@figbender3910]

What other steps? Sounds like someone pranked you back in the day

[@freshrot420]

I don't feel like I ever used the old man trick, yet I have memories of surfing on that edge and finding Missingno's, but other abnormal pokemon would spawn as well. Maybe just from my name or the previous areas pokemon data, but I recall Missingno would only appear after doing something else. I'd chauk it up to faulty memory, but I was pretty surprised when I head about the old man trick.

[@cupguin]

@@figbender3910 I remember finding the glitch online, but between the old man and surfing you'd have to do extra steps. Considering how none of it made any sense to a kid playing the game in the 90s and the extra steps not changing the end result, it was less prank and more of a flawed best guess at how to trigger it.

[@stealthlock6634]

Ehh, I did have to do a lot of junk because none of the characters in my name generate Missingno naturally. I just kept getting normal Pokémon and ‘M

[@wanderingrandomer]

I remember reading that you had to do the Tangela trade on Cinnabar Island

[@naphackDT]

You can also use those tiles to load the safari zone encounter table and catch safari pokemon outside the zone. Just dig or run out of steps in the part of the zone with the needed encounter table, fly to cinnabar, start surfing and catch your chansey, tauros, scyther, etc during normal battle without having to rely on shitty safari ball RNG.

Excuse me but I was wondering if you could help me with something - what do I need to be named to encounter level 1 mewtwo/level 1 mew (if that is possible because of how mew works). I looked everywhere and could not find anything that would help me. I am only asking you because you appear to be knowledgeable on the subject. Thank you in advance. Sorry if this wastes your time. Edit: I did find out that it is impossible for Mew. But what about Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, and Alakazam? Again, I apologize if this wastes your time, but I would really appreciate it if you could help me.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

A Pokemon above level 100 is able to be pushed to lv 255, then 0 and then 1. So rather try looking for names that give you what you want >100

[@lolcollol212]

rhrOOboard nah, not exactly. We all know the first letter doesn‘t matter. After the first one we will need xD to get a lvl 183 Mewtwo, yD to get a lvl 184 Mewtwo and zD to get a lvl 185 Mewtwo. And of course unavoidably the lvl 80 garbage data glitch Pokémon.

[@TorutheRedFox]

8F isn't *exactly* a glitch item it has it's own name slot

[@guiltyguildleader]

From what iv read from Bulbapedia ther referenced area is a lookup table for names, and 0x75 to 0xC4 contain no item names, but are used as storage for things like opponent names. The US version has another area (0x62 to 0x74) that contains japanese translations without the terminator character (0x50) and accessing this will read byte data as string until the game crashes or another 0x50 is read.

Huh. I normally watch you for Smash, so I didn't know you did Pokémon stuff too. Good vid!

[@alantruong8546]

Oh man, if I remember correctly, under certain circumstances you can use this same glitch to encounter Pokemon from the last area you were in before viridian city. Of special note is that this works on the Safari zone so you could catch things from there without Safari zone rules. But I figured with your explanation that shouldn't work? Until I remember that I always named my character ASH cause I was like 8 haha. Seems like the game probably didn't overwrite all of the wild Pokemon data since the name was so short? And the non overwritten portion still had Pokemon data from the last place I visited!

[@TheAcetuck]

seemed like that to me too, i know if u choose ASH as name from the list of pregiven names you can get all kinds of random encounters on that coast - i am actually trying to figure out how to get a mew to appear rigth at this moment (i got mewtu ez, it has id 131... but since i can´t get any lower hex numbers than 80 idk how to get mew which has id 21- maybe i´m just dumb but A equals 80 in hex in this game ... so what comes before A? or have i got something wrong in my assumption?)

[@shedinjask]

if i understand correctly, your name shouldnt matter in these cases, the game would just be reading data from the last known encounter data. so if you exit the safari zone and fly to cinnabar that would work? no talking to the old man

[@MagicScrumpy]

yeah, that's on the money

[@oussama7132]

what pokemon appear if we name ourselves Alpharad?

I did the "math" and got four MissingNos leveled 165, 161, 171, and 157. But I think I got something wrong, as the name is an even number of letters, meaning that there is a 00 left over. What happens then?
