The Beta Mystery of Missingno of Pokemon Red & Blue | Cut Content

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Well seems Day Light Savings Time pushed this to start an hour earlier. hah

[@tubetube7025]

i had a moment today when i thought it was 3pm when it was acutally 2pm.....

[@WaLuigi7]

It was watch this or discover the meaning of life. Guess which one I chose.

[@KairiBerlitz]

When I was a kid, I loved to catch M, teaching it fly and then evolve it to Kangaskhan and then port it to Pokémon Stadium and play with my flying Kangaskhan. It felt special back in the day... I would also use the glitch do clone Master Ball, Rare Candy, Nuggets and some TMs so I could build my team to take on the challenges from Pokémon Stadium

[@dragoon1090]

Yes! I did this and traded it to gold and silver. I'm surprised the game allowed it.

[@metasteelgaming4373]

Me too! The glitches were cool, but seeing how far you could extend them was a lot of fun too

[@ExiledBowser]

Transfer most of them (especially the glitch data ones) to Gold and silver and crystal and it corrects the data into mons of 152-251 so you can catch some gold, silver, and crystal pokedex mons early.

[@Okeana_Aster]

MissingNo. is literally an eldritch horror, who's physical form extends beyond the limits of what our human eye can see (with how its sprite date extends beyond what the game displays), and that's super cool.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

It's honestly what makes it as amazing. Almost every different language of the game has a different one. Recently saw the Spanish Missingno which almost looks like it has an offspring next to it too :P

[@Okeana_Aster]

@@TheObsessiveGamer Ooh I need to go see that. Like, MissingNo in all languages. I'm french and I don't think French MissingNo is different though. Well I have a Blue save file ready that I can use to go check right now.

[@Okeana_Aster]

@@TheObsessiveGamer Well that's disappointing. I only got level 3 Pidgeys, level 4 Rattatas, and one level 128 Electrode (which was the most interesting thing I found). Everytime a MissingNo wants to spawn, the game crashes.

[@Okeana_Aster]

@@TheObsessiveGamer Wait, apparently the Spanish version doesn't have the glitch anymore. How did you manage to see Spanish MissingNo ? And if it works on the Spanish version, would it also work with the French version ?

[@Okeana_Aster]

@@TheObsessiveGamer Okay so I found a cheat that allows the french version to display MissingNo. by modifying the sound, and it's a super cool MissingNo, probably one of the best, but since it modifies the values, how do I know it looks the same as it would without the cheat ?

[@deathstinger13]

you're mostly right on how the item duplication works, except for the details. When you see any pokemon, it uses its pokedex number to calculate an offset into an array to set a bit. because Missingno and friends have a dex number of 000, the game's offsetting goes weird and it instead ends up looking at the bits that make up the quantity value for the item in your sixth bag slot. It then sets the bit(s) to mark that pokemon as 'seen' a process which sets the value in question to 128. It's not maxed out or anything; in fact if you use a couple and then repeat a missingno encounter, you can get the value set to 255, the maximum value anything in hex can be set to(FF). What most don't seem to mention is what happens if you try and use that effect of Missingno's on a key item. it's been a while, but iirc, it gets duplicated too. However, since they have no quantity value, the game instead creates a second copy in the bag

[@LilacMonarch]

It doesn't set it to 128, it sets the highest bit which corresponds with 128, adding that much to the count. With for example the master ball that will actually result in 129 as you can only obtain one legitimately and the lowest bit will stay set, and 1+128=129. It will always add 128 as long as you don't already have at least 128. Hence why you need to use/trash two master balls to be able to get 255 of them.

[@renakunisaki]

Duplicating key items doesn't make a second copy. They still have a quantity, but the game won't show it, and will only let you deposit/withdraw one at a time. I guess it might give you two stacks if you withdraw/receive it while having a stack of 99?

[@Mb.groovy]

Okay so in short how do I get 255 master balls

[@LilacMonarch]

@@Mb.groovy 1. put master ball in your sixth bag slot 2. encounter missingno 3. use/trash 2 master balls 4. encounter missingno again

[@zdude0127]

One thing about Missingno. I can't unsee is that despite it being a random garble of pixels, it has a face. If you look at the top of the "body" you can make out a large eye, small eye, nose, and mouth.

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

I thought it was a Lapras up close.

[@scantyer]

I mean it really doesn't has a face. It's just pareidolia

[@Mother2IsTheBestGame]

He looks happy, but he still scared me

[@renakunisaki]

Some corrections: They didn't create 256 slots intending to fill them all. For technical reasons, that's the most slots that could exist. They intended 190, with the rest being other game data never intended to be accessed as Pokémon data. The 6th item slot isn't normally involved with the Pokédex. The ID 000 gets treated as 256 (the code only expects IDs 1-151) and, it does the same as you described with the Biker: calculates the "seen #256" flag to be way outside the actual Pokédex flag data, landing in the inventory data.

[@sirecartier7881]

there could have been an arbitrary amount of Pokémon, they knew the magnitude would be around 256, and not 65536 or more.

[@Faniwa828]

There's concept art for Gen 3 of a strange creepy monolith Pokémon from the recent Game Freak leak that seems to be inspired by Missingno. It's "tail" has a very similar silhouette to it.

[@LilacMonarch]

bro the vulpix pre-evo is cute, we were robbed

[@dundee6402]

The most shocking part is that it was considered to be included in a Pokémon game THREE separate times. For gen 1, gen 2 and gen 4, and everytime it was scrapped. Poor thing was consistently left in the ditch lol

[@StummyyLord]

I've been watching your content for 4 years now, and every single video you just keep getting better and better. Thank you for all the work you do with this.

[@UrdnotWrex88]

I'll always remember when I gave Missingno a rare candy and it evolved into kangaskhan.

[@billiesastard2596]

The Mew not being under the truck infuriated me as a kid

[@Birdsflight44]

And they still screwed us over with trucks by doing fuck all with those awesome Alola vehicle concept art pieces...

[@eviljigglypuff2254]

When I learned the glitch to actually get him as an adult, I couldn't help but think what a GOD you would have been as a kid if you could get people mews

[@ExiledBowser]

Fun fact, the truck exists in Fire Red and Leaf Green and if you go there and move it you get a lava cookie, or there is a hidden one on the edge of the dock there.

[@Pancakes4everyone42]

​@@ExiledBowser You don't move the truck but yeah it has a hidden lava cookie

[@Cyntaria]

Thank you so much for making this video. There is soooo much missingno misinformation spread by children and large pokemon creators who ignore any criticism. It's so frustrating trying to correct this misinformation or have people come up to me trying to impress me, a Pokemon nerd, with fake missingno stories, not knowing I know how it works.

[@lizablee]

MissingNo. was my childhood nightmare. I played my GameBoy under the covers when I was supposed to be asleep and scared the shit out of myself experiencing game glitches.

[@A-1-Sawce]

I was a young teen when red/blue dropped. Also had a 64 and a crappy pc with the worst internet imaginable. Good enough to find the Missingno glitch, my younger brothers were showing neighborhood kids all there rare candy and master balls and the kids obviously wanted in. My fondest memory of the glitch was writing out the absolute most convoluted, ass backwards way of getting it to activate with the actual steps at the very end. I wrote it down on a sheet of paper and seriously made it stretch to about 40+ steps. I'd show the kids and they bought it. So for a time every kids in the neighborhood was doing a process that took maybe 10+ minutes to activate it lol.

[@PixelOverload]

From my recollection, the biggest reason MissingNo. was perceived as potentially damaging to your game despite only really causing a convenient item duplication glitch and mangling your victory data is because "M" _could_ cause more serious corruption and game crashes, potentially permanently damaging the save file, and a lot of people didn't know or understand the difference between the two while "MissingNo." was the more pronouncable and memorable name so it got all the blame 🤷

[@pentagonyx]

OMG I bingewatched a bunch of videos of yours a while ago- awesome that you still upload!

[@cuerdencats4151]

I've seen a few different videos explanations of Missingno before but this was by far the most digestible for a general audience, great work!

[@InHouseMaterial]

It was great accidental end game content. So much fun experimenting with glitches. Finding them in magazines, on the play ground, then eventually online. Formative memories

[@renakunisaki]

I think the mystery and weirdness made the games more popular.

[@patofermin9923]

Amazing video! Glad to see you are already using the profile pic I designed!

[@Gravijahz]

it's not that "game freak were amateur coders", it's that the industry was in its infancy, without the best practices that would come later. lots of games from that era had leftover content (still do) and especially for that era, lots of games were straight bugged. lots of items in RPGs didn't do what they said, and entire stats were broken or didn't work at all. even later, Super Mario 64 is filled with bugs. bugs so severe that you can literally backwards longjump.

[@StationSquareW]

Cool in-depth view of our inverted L! We often think about the effects it has and its origin, but not so much on why it works like it does. Great content and in only 14 minutes too

[@flyforce16]

We need the Zukan booklet-those front sprites have to exist somewhere!

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

They are probably somehwere still on their archives. I'm impressed they still haven't been leaked considering the Teraleak that happened just recently too. They must archived outside of their local servers at this point I imagine.

[@Birdsflight44]

​@@TheObsessiveGamerNGL I bet they only exist in physical form if they still haven't leaked. I'm worried they'll friggin mold or get destroyed by some freak natural disaster

[@OliGaming-d1u]

MissingNo. And M' are the reasons I love hunting for glitches in games to this day.

[@hitkid2456]

Same lol

[@MrHeisenb3rg]

Ah to be a kid again not knowing what the fuck happened and thinking you broke your shit. Even funnier to be an adult and realize that the “it’ll wipe your save file” rumor originated from a magazine story.

[@Schwarzorn]

For the viewers who don't know, the abbreviation *no.* is pronounced _"number"._ Like how *mr.* is pronounced _"mister"._ Or how *mrs.* is pronounced _"misses"._

[@Pancakes4everyone42]

Even my poke nerd friends think it's said "missing go" lol

[@Schwarzorn]

@Pancakes4everyone42 Oh, right. I heard that one all the time as a kid. I guess Go is from people not looking at it closely.

[@SandwitchZebra]

This video is a godsend when it comes to information on MissingNo., especially with how it also acknowledges Gen 1’s bizarre roster of glitch Pokémon after index 190. Now I have something I can point to for others

[@AlienSnowflake]

The first time i ever encountered missingno was an accidental glitch of glitch city. I couldnt stop dreaming about it. It was a nightmare for a week I usually never had wifi access back then coz once a week access to the fam computer. When i finally did wow.i found put about Mew and such and it all started form there

[@gamrwolf9655]

I remember the times back then I had so much fun with this, I considered missingno a legendary and I mainly used it to get a lot of master balls and rare candies.

[@MegaManNeo]

I did the Missingno glitch in Blue Version just like most other kids in my school back then. That was before broadband Internet hit most households and such things were spread on playgrounds. Never did much with it though, in fact, I was one of those scared kids as eight years old that just reset his game entirely when we noticed it to behave funky. Maybe one day I go back and revisit Missingno in a way it can't harm me.

[@Venemofthe888]

I dont think ive heard those unused cries before apart from the one thats just Pidgey's lol. Its interesting to think about that these old designs of gens 1 and 2 could be recycled and come back into pokemon we already have or future ones. I still want that saber tooth cat lol

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

I mean some have made Romhacks to restore these actually, so if you are interested you always can play those with the originals restored

[@Reppen555]

missingno is also the only bird type

[@Birdsflight44]

​@@astanco1574No, you're thinking too deep, the video was pretty much right. We have a lot of betas, and it looks like "Bird" is just a beta flying type. However, it is interesting that Sky Attack was Moltres's signature move, if you want to get weird about it

[@edgardeitz5746]

Or maybe "Bird" is really *"Bird Trainer"* ; the bird trainer rival. The space in between the words is read as a null character, ending the read after "Bird".

[@SomeRandomPersonOnTheNet]

This is how I got a flying Kangaskhan

[@AtticusRh0des]

Nah history wont be complete until we get a legit missingoNO pokemon.

[@Birdsflight44]

Considering that the skeleton forms were pretty common, I think the scrapped skeletal xenomorph gen 2 mon WAS an intended missingno tribute pokemon, but they got cold fwet

[@UltimatePhantasm]

funnily enough, a few years back one of the official pokemon character artists actually produced artwork of the fossil aerodactyl and kabutops, ghost and the usual L-shape, essentially making them more-or-less canon

[@FunGeekZNerdParty1984]

It scared me so bad that 20 plus years later I turned it into a villain in a pokemon/digimon/Medabo tAnd Beyblade bit beast crossover fanfic as the main story villain, In which me and my 3 best friends were transported much like the digidestined were Do an alternate plane Much like my own world and where evil Versions of the 4 above creatures were running rampant and I had to take them out And their leaders were the 3 glitch pokemon As well as bosses from the series I mentioned! It was like 50 plus chapters and it was awesome and a blast to write!

[@StrikerZero6]

A side note for Missingno. you can simply look at it's status while it's in a box then withdraw it, it will turn into a Rhydon (Unstable version, not sure how to stabilize it, it'll change back into a Missingno. if viewed in Pokemon Stadium or Ditto in Pokemon Stadium 2)

[@DarklordXelrick]

I remember on Yellow putting one in one of my storage boxes with other Pokemon and it affected every Pokemon in the Box and shifted data to the next Pokemon in the Storage. Persian learned Psychic and Zapdos learn Surf

[@dror843]

Love your gen 1-2 beta videos

[@MortenLongbottom]

I was expecting for the front sprites of the the whole Pokemon beta discarded, as Gorochu and the Kangaskhan-Cubone

[@ootdega]

I never understood the whole "ball catching tutorial" thing. I never had to do that. As a kid with Pokemon Blue, I just went to that shoreline in Cinnabar and it worked. No setup necessary, MIssingno was just there.

[@Moonstrider]

Even though I have deleted the game and started it over, there’s still a few abnormal things there, like Red’s cap is green/dark when he appears in a battle

[@OmegaVideoGameGod]

Gen 1 was suppose to have 9 gyms 237 Pokémon moves and 191 Pokémon and many more locations

[@chooongusbug724]

"at what were at the time, amateur developers" if Scarlet and Violet is anything to go by, they're still amateur devs lol

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

More time restricted ones actually...

[@chooongusbug724]

​@@TheObsessiveGamerfor sure, I was just making a snarky joke lol. Enjoyed the video, good stuff as always

[@JimMilton-ej6zi]

If what insider devs said is true then the company is plagued with senior devs who do things badly but since seniority rule is the deciding factor in who gets a say then the young devs who know how to do things well are forced to do it badly just to make bad coders happy

[@chooongusbug724]

@JimMilton-ej6zi "senior devs" so the ones who oversaw stuff like Gen 1 and 2...So they're still amateur devs 🤷‍♀️

[@Birdsflight44]

​@@TheObsessiveGamer idk my dude, the leaks suggest that they were working on SV for a decent amount of time. Kinda feels like a management skill issue and that they treat the people who actually make the engine go Brr like trash. On the bright side, the folks they belatedly hired for Switch development are FINALLY starting to move up in the company and they seem to have some sense to them. They were the folks who saw Z version get scrapped right before they were hired and are now making Z-A. There's hope.

[@dragoon1090]

When I was a kid there was a rumor if you named yourself mew something something you'd be able to get him. Well obviously that didn't work. However when I encountered missingno the sprite was the kabutops Fossil because of what my name was. I thought I had a special cartridge until later on I realized how the game is programmed.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

ooh you actually encountered that verison? never met anyone who did intentionally. I probably would have thought it was a Kabutops evolution if saw that lol

[@dragoon1090]

​@@TheObsessiveGamerI wouldn't say intentionally but yes I thought it was special.

[@arciks11]

​@@TheObsessiveGamerI faintly recall Linkara saying he encountered the Kabutops Fossil one. It was due to name "Lewis" corresponding to it from what I recall.

[@InazumaDash]

It feels a lot less creepy now that we know what they are, we also have most beta pokemon.

[@RatedRMario21]

No mention of this in the video, but the east coast of Seafoam Islands works just like Cinnabar

[@LightsJusticeZ]

Great video, really informative

[@NorthSutherland]

Bulbapedia lists quite a few Missingno. placeholders. How do I know which one I have? I just wanna how which of the cut Pokemon I can catch (but aren't actually there) in my playthrough of the game?

[@thend4427]

Will u make a video on the leaked betas?

[@magnawaves]

Now that we've seen the beta mystery, I can't wait for the sigma mystery!

[@eliasb22]

TMs, baby. Multiplying some of the amazing single use TMs was a way to ensure you could teach them to many Pokémon and build better competitive teams

[@M_Alexander]

I kinda want GameFreak to acknowledge the MissingNo lore but not publicly acknowledge MissingNo itself. Like I don't want it to be listed as an official Pokémon but it'd be fun if they used it as a stable placeholder in the event that it shows up from a glitch

[@DevlinUK]

I’m fairly certain I remember hearing the unused cries when viewing corrupted Hall of Fame entries - does anyone else remember this?

[@suroguner]

rumors of the secret city would years later turn out to be true

[@pacman9635]

Wow nice video bro i allways like to know more about the older games as iv never played after gen 4 I really like the new pokemon poket game it is really cool I tend to reply older games via rom and emulator that works perfect

[@jonathanplooij3666]

i did not know the newer pokemon games also had missingno glitches

[@Th3KillinJok3]

Makes me wonder, whether the sprites can be backwards engineered to see the real sprite.

[@solidsnakeandgrayfox]

We dont talk about the truck nor should we ever show it.

[@SorcererLance]

Usually when it comes to various popular glitches and schoolyard rumors, game companies tend to embrace it and make it canon in a way... much like how Mortal Kombat introduced Ermac (short for "Error Macro") as a once-hidden character. Game Freak had plenty of chances (and they still can, if they want) to make Missingno a real Pokemon... Perhaps a reality-altering/defying Pokemon that rivals Giratina that had been quietly observing your adventures since the very beginning.

[@lindendrache8998]

They could ... but they won't. It would be too epic. That is the stuff for epic fanfictions ;-)

[@therubygemstonetrg]

Speaking of Gameboy games, did you know there was a playable demo of Link's Awakening at the Comsumer Electronics Show in January of 1993? The only footage I know of has been put on the games Prerelease page on The Cutting Room Floor recently. I've been trying to find more footage, but I've had zero luck. Would anyone have any more info or even footage of this?

[@MeryoQuestion]

Imagine if all those video game myths were real, mewthree mew under the truck naked tomb raider and yoshi and mario and Pokémon, all that/those stuff would be so bizarre

[@agnosticgamer3122]

I only ever encountered the MissingNo. and a level 136 Snorlax. Wish I had encountered those others.

[@Wmx2011]

Average masteroogway vid.

[@ajh22895]

I had a lot of fun with an underflowed fossil Missingno. Just Terminator running it at the Elite 4.

[@amirmoradi9595]

Misingo was a main on my team back in the day 😂

[@elli_senfsaat]

I remember having a little flimsy Pokedex booklet by some Pokemon magazine back then, with the 2 first Gens. It was so amateur-esquely made, all Gen1 mons had Anime artworks, while almost all Gen2s were Ken Sugimori 😂 It was highly unofficial, as indicated by the presence of MissingNo as No.000. Tho with typing "unknown" and its sprite a highly pixelated version of Mewtwo. My friend and I speculated this meant MissingNo's lore is being Mewtwo's left-over data or smth, kinda what people theorize Ditto to be. What a wild time without TPC aiming at everyone not acting according to their Brand Manual 😂

[@GoonieLord]

Or M the other name, both dupe items. Still works to this day

[@pirate4460]

skeleton kabutops is cool. I didn't know about that.

[@TheXnaut]

I still think they should have made Missingno cannon. They way that it jumbled Pokemon sprites once it hit them was always the coolest thing. I thought I was spreading some kind of corruption as a kid. The lore I made up was cooler than the truth. Victini will never be them

[@MeryoQuestion]

I Wish gamefreak/Pokemon Company added Missingno as a Real Pokémon in a new Pokemon game, but unfortunaly thats just a Dream For Now

[@sonicgamer178]

Man this makes me nostalgic. I think I duplicated Rare Candies when I was like 7 lmao. I remember I used to watch (now not so creepy) creepypastas of Lavender Town when I was younger too. Funny this got released now cause I recently started watching the anime for the first time recently (only really started as a kid with season 14 but only remember XY & Z to halfway through Journeys before I stopped Pokemon for a few years)

[@DanteFree-nu8qe]

i find it crazy i beat these games as a four year old and never ran into it or any major glitches. wonder if i was lucky or unlucky

[@mattfry6716]

I remember duplicating rare candy because I was lazy to level up my Pokémon.

[@Okeana_Aster]

The Gen 1 games are so poorly coded but in the best way possible. MissingNo, Glitch City, catching Mew, catching a level 100 Nidoking in Viridian Forest... So many iconic glitches. The stars aligned for these glitches to exist the way they do, because if the game was coded even just a bit differently, we may never have had those at all, and it would be such a shame. It's kind of a miracle that the game was coded in the exact way that allows for these things to happen, and I'm really grateful that they do. Might be the only time that a game being poorly coded is cool.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Honestly it was probably the best balance. Normally poorly coded games just run badly, yet this didn't. It only opened the door to exploits...and cool and useful ones at that. It's crazier to think that Junichi Masuda was one of the primary reasons behind thees as one of the coders.

[@Okeana_Aster]

@@TheObsessiveGamer Yeah. I have this concept in my head of a game where all the famous video glitches are just part of the world and are abilities that the main character learns. Like for example, the main hub would be similar to Glitch City, and you have to find the path, except there would actually be a path, you wouldn't be able get stuck in this one. And at one point, the main character could learn to BLJ as an ability, allowing them to go through certain walls that were previously road blocks and progress in the story. It would reference and use many glitches like that, I think it would be fun.

[@bluegum6438]

Game Freak made a lot of oversight mistakes, but honestly the original GB games are a very impressive achievement. The actual main reason why the games are so glitchy is because of how ambitious they were trying to cram everything onto a GB cart. It required arcane and complicated memory management techniques to fit everything in, and the vast vast majority of programming problems in RBY are caused by registers reading the wrong location. It's like, instead of being straightforward like a novel, the memory is set up like a Choose Your Own Adventure novel where you have to keep flipping back and forth between vastly separate pages to continue. It's a lot easier to end up on the wrong page. Yeah, the games are glitchy as hell but it's a miracle they work as well as they do, Game Freak were trying to do something really difficult.

[@lindendrache8998]

If you really think about it, you have to go really out of your way to find the major glitches. The games run really stable - yeah, a few oversights here and there like type effectiveness, broken moves, etc - but nothing game-breaking. Quite an achievement being one of the most broken and yet very stable games at the same time.

[@dipayanchoudhury2720]

Yeah some of these almost feel intentional to create intrigue and spook little kids. A lot of games nowadays try to deliberately do things like this to create a mysterious and haunted feel for the game. It's hilarious how game freak did all of this by mistake.

[@Birdsflight44]

1:50 255 and No Pokemon are just the default value for that bit count; they didn't intend on 255. Since you go on to talk about the intended 190, perhaps this is just odd wording? Or have they stated somewhere they intended on 255 at the start and I missed it? 5:34 this guy wasn't drunk in the English localization- just tired and in need of coffee. This may be news to some folks lol. 6:24 Also important to note that some preset names can use characters that names input by players CAN'T input themselves- making them generate unique Cinnabar Island calls. 13:31 Victini is heavily implied to be the Nuclear pokemon, (especially with the leaks confirming that its associated with Manhattan, as a hidden energy source that assured Victory, etc) which has fascinating implications with its association with MissingNo., Especially when you place this in the broader context that Pokemon as a series was made to basically reference living in harmony with Kaiju. MissingNo. being found right by the mysterious laboratory and all that...

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

To answer each: 1:50 - Yeah that is more odd wording from me there I guess haha. 255 was more the just the games default for everything and Pokemon included, despite them only wanting to use 190. 5:34 - Oh I know as an og player... this was more a joke for those who knew lol 6:24 - Good point 13:31 - oooh interesting. I'm stilll looking at the Gen 5 ones, but that is a really good one to look at later when I hit up Gen 5 games

[@Birdsflight44]

​@@TheObsessiveGamer I'm kinda curious about the old man one, ngl- is it just that commonly known these days, or are people just picking it up from context clues? Because I knew you'd know, but I thought most folks didn't know. The general public seems to have the weirdest knowledge gap with gen 1 these days, like how "no one" remembers that meowth were originally meant to be quadrupeds, and that gen 1 was definitely, 100% set on Earth. But then they'll know about the phantom PC in the hotel and the ONE truck in the game, stashed away by the SS Anne, that's inaccessible by 99.9% of people's finished gamestates. I just can't tell what's going to surprise people. Must make these videos hard sometimes.

[@Pancakes4everyone42]

I remember not many people believing in MissingNo cos of all the Pokégod rumours flying around at the time lol

[@Onyx619]

I have only ever heard someone else or myself pronounce the pokemon as Vic-Teeny or Vic-Tiny But this was the first time I've heard someone say Victini like saying Victory. Considering it is the Victory Pokemon, it makes sense what's the matter with me lmao

[@Kirkieb]

I remember catching missingno. M. And Zzazz. I kept trying to catch glitched pokemon until i bricked my save file.

[@Almighty_Coon]

Is a great glitch, removing is better; glad source code public.

[@Lordspaghett]

Its time they make missingno official

[@PhilipMurphy8]

Missingno were just because they had to put in 255 Pokemon otherwise the game would fail to work

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

yep. Finicky code...except Missingnos only cover 39 of those slots. The other 65 are just glitch ahoy lol

[@bigguy2128]

I wonder if AI can unscramble the missingno

[@davemccombs]

lol "mystery" Jesus, it's amazing how evergreen absolutely anything, no matter how old hat/without substance it is, in pokemon actually is

[@lindendrache8998]

I remember when I first heard of the Missingno glitch and tried it myself. I was amazed because it really worked! I loved to catch it and try out stuff with it - more than often crashing my game. I wrote down the stuff I discovered in a small notebook (yes, it was before internet, ok?) and felt like an explorer! Oh, by the way, you could get stuck in Silph Co building when watching the glitched hall of fame there - sometimes it would change the map data to something not passable. So I once ended up surrounded by blocks I could not walk on. How I loved finding stupid stuff like this xD Why are glitches so fascinating?

[@Саша-в9н6р]

Да ладно серьёзно?😮

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

yep :P

[@bapt_andthebasses]

Missing NUMBER, not "Missing no", but great video 👍
