I'm sorry to say, but it's most likely they didn't "give" the pokemon a sprite and a dex entry. The reason it looks like that is because that's what undefined pokemon would have looked like during development in order to avoid crashing the game during testing, probably.

Fun fact: The glitch Pokemon that fights after capture is actually an entirely seperate Pokemon from MissingNo, 'M, but is so very similar to MissingNo that it is often referred to as MissingNo's "sister". The reason the battle doesn't end after 'M is captured is because the game sets a "Transformed" value to an incorrect value, causing an invisible Ditto to fight in the place of 'M

[@Armstrong692]

Didn't know about that!

[@JasonX920]

I never heard this explanation for it, nice! I'd been obsessed with Missingno. and M' as a kid playing Blue version, so I knew most of the reasoning behind various things. This is interesting info. :)

[@jadeb.3332]

​​@@JasonX920 That theory does make sense, but actually, there's a different reason why Gen 1 MissingNo. appears as/turns into Ditto in Gen 2 games! It happens when you load a Gen 1 save with any kind of glitch Pokémon stored in the party or boxes in Pokémon Stadium 2. Unlike the first Pokémon Stadium, which displays glitch Pokémon using a Substitute doll model, Stadium 2 has a failsafe that displays any sort of glitch or invalid Pokémon as a Ditto. Additionally, if you save any changes made after interacting with your glitch Pokémon using the Stadium 2 lab, like moving it between boxes or adding it to your party, it'll be converted into a Ditto permanently -- in Stadium 2 *and* in your GB game.

[@lpfan4491]

[@amoura39]

The fact that they took the time to make Missingno. roll around on appearance in generation III is adorable lol

[@kutaoizumi4189]

I don't think that was intentional, it's probably just a placeholder animation the game uses when a Pokémon doesn't have one. If you notice they often even have the cry of some other Pokémon, so it's unlikely these things were "made" in a strict sense.

[@amoura39]

I did notice that Bulbasaur's cry was used but I hadn't really considered the possibility that the animation was a placeholder: I was thinking it's CLEARLY not any expected Pokemon's animation, like Bulbasaur's or something, so I assumed it as original ... but maybe it IS a placeholder, after all, lol!

[@vamp97]

Slight correction! The pokemon you showed that keeps fighting after capture is called ‘M, which is a separate glitch mon in the game’s data - although it takes MissingNo’s most famous L shape form and is caught in the same location. Whether your save file can encounter an ‘M depends (like with MissingNo’s various forms) on the name data of the player. 😊

[@metasteelgaming4373]

If I remember correctly, ■'M■ can be caught again after it continues battling, registers as a Ditto, and the battle ends for real after that second catch. Also, the ■'M■ evolves into Kangaskhan by level up at any level. If I'm remembering correctly

[@VoidHearted]

@@metasteelgaming4373 Also, if i remember right, ‘M shouldn’t be caught if the one you found is level 0 because there’s a chance it’ll corrupt your data. But MissingNo. will always be around level 80 or so, so that’s not a problem usually.

[@metasteelgaming4373]

@Maxaroni And Cheese Huh. I only got lvl 0 ones by leveling them past lvl 255. Whenever the glitch pokemon were over lvl 100, you could use rare candies to keep them going, but they reverted back to 100 when they gained exp in battle. I never had an issue with the corruption

Fun fact: The Gen 2 glitch Pokemons' garbled map tile appearance is actually like that because the devs anticipated that this kind of situation would happen and added an error handler to prevent the game from displaying the real glitch sprite and imploding. If you disable the error check with a cheat code, most of ?????'s true sprites crash the game either immediately with a black screen or when the sprite finishes moving rightwards.

[@arashikou6661]

BTW, I misread this comment originally. RGME's videos don't explain the Gen _2_ behavior. They are about Gen 1. This fact about Gen 2 is very cool, and I didn't know this. Gen 1 also has an error-check that protects us from these Pokémons' true forms.

[@Trafficallity]

so in gen 2, missingno is an entity that goes against the laws of physics so much that even a glimpse at it's true form would destroy the fabric of reality, so the creators of the simulation had force a mask onto wherever it may spawn in anticipation of it's apperance

If all EVs and IVs are 0, set their type to "typeless". If all previous conditions are met, remove all their PP from all moves. If the target has no PP on any moves, this move is a 1HKO System crash (Electric). Changes the opponent's move with the highest base power to another completely random move of the same type, regardless of learnset. If the target has no moves with base power, change all their moves to Metronome. Glitched spirit (Ghost). 100 base power, Special. Ignores user's attacking stats and opponent's defensive stats. Causes the user to get a random status condition or lose a third of its hp (50/50). If the user already has a status condition, heal it, give it to the target, and lose 50% hp as the side effect instead (guaranteed). Only Metronome can be forgotten/changed, and the other options are: Explosion Hyper beam Scary face As for stats, a fast yet frail dual attacker (slightly stronger special attack), basically a glass cannon.

11:00 what's even funnier is that the name of this Bulbasaur (ピカチュウ) means "Pikachu"

[@brav141xd2]

Another way to encounter MissingNo. Is in the Pokémon DP Demo versions, where you need the walk through walls cheat code, and put the Roselia in the PC in the Oreburgh Pokémon Center, then talk to Professor Rowan and he exposes the first Pokémon in your party to a shiny stone, evolving it into an invisible shiny bulbasaur. It just functions the same, but whenever you open the Pokémon menu, the game crashes if you have that Pokémon in your party.

GameFreak was really on it in Gen 1 with those tiny details like how when the battle with BEAUTY was finished and she yelled "WAIT!" Because she was already getting corrupted; real crazy detail right there

[@silvanusrein1135]

Always something to see how bits and pieces of missingno lore get passed down but rarely does any info video on missingno ever have all the information. Everyone knows about item duplication, less know you can catch missingno, even less know it keeps fighting you after catching it, even less know you can send missingno out against itself in the same fight and if it wins or gets exp at all it'll evolve into a few possibilities but the most likely one I've seen is a khangaskhan with water gun, water gun, and sky attack.

[@War_Tigress]

The fact that Tentacool is named "Dive Bitch" gives me so much seratonin

[@seseame7184]

something i noticed about missingno when i was doing my 8F shiny mew glitch is that if missingno is named ‘M when you catch it the battle will continue, but when missingno is named MISSINGNO once you catch it, the battle ends. if you use a rare candy on ‘M it will evolve into a kangastan

[@SaphirosDragonthera]

What started as an error in the code now it follows as a legend!

[@moonfyps9307]

I was today years old when I learned that MissingNo can appear in other gens too. I thought it was gen 1 exclusive. I played red and blue as a kid, I'm the "Mew under the truck" generation, oh boy..

[@AverageKeyEnjoyer]

Honestly I didn't knew that MissingNo (or just "?") had an animation and a proper Pokedex description in Emerald, I always assumed that it was fanmade. Also sometimes I remember encountering MissingNo and the game would crash in Emerald.

[@OmegaHilip]

Missingno having Slowpoke’s cry in gen 3 is very fitting.

[@TobeyFairre7861]

I like that the gen IV MissingNo is shiny. Imagine that being the first shiny you encounter

[@JohnNess7730]

8:16 THE TEXTS ARE SO FUNNY "A wild TENTACRUEL and æed!" "Wha do?"

[@levkun]

In Gen 1, if you caught the Lv 0. 'M and gave it a rare candy, it evolves into a Kangaskhan.

[@letsfailgaming9850]

When missingno swaps sprites back in gen 1 just check your status screen and it'll go back to normal.

[@shadiussokralio1901]

Imagine some day this... "Pokémon" dropped one day out of an ultra wormhole. You cannot really comprehend its appearance, but some people claim that it looks like a shiny bulbasaur. Although its existence was never fully been proved, it is there. It exists. But somehow it appears mostly around young people that walk around without a Pokémon, and thus being in danger. A creature most likely to appear if you're in danger - what a dark thing to think about 😁

[@joshnichols1849]

I remember evolving my missingnos in gen 1, they always evolved into Snorlax

[@brandonfulstone7628]

And plus if you traded Missingno into Gen 2, they would be either a random Pokemon or I think Smeargle. It's been years since I've done that

[@PokeMario-pk4ot]

​@Brandon Fulstone because each pokemon in gen 1 and 2 are stored as index values from 0-255, the pokemon Missingno becomes if you transfer to gen 2 (which requires a whole lot more glitching so that gen 2 sees it as a "legal" pokemon) can be any of them. For example, missingno with an index number of 31 will be a scizor, while those with a value of 184 will be lugia

[@ElysetheEevee]

​@@PokeMario-pk4ot If I recall, what number it's index was was driven by your ID/name, too. It's been absolutely ages since I've messed with this stuff. I'm more know about gen 1-3 Missingno./M'/glitches, really.

[@PokeMario-pk4ot]

@@ElysetheEevee nope, the index number of a pokemon is hard coded in the game and not something that can be changed or influenced
