    For some reason, my uploader comment no longer appears on the top, so here is an explanation on the Missingno/Cubone/Kangaskhan theory:
    "I've already noticed tons of people talking or asking about the fact that Missingno is some kind of Kangaskhan/Cubone connection. As I've explained in the video, this is very unlikely. Missingno takes up over a dozen of the game's extra slots, not just a single one. The reason 'M evolves into Kangaskan is because it is one of the first Pokemon in the game's internal indexing. 'M can also evolve into Rhydon (first in the index) as well, making it even more unlikely that there is a connection."
    My new Fact of The Day video explaining the existence, effects, and cause of the Missingno glitch phenomenon in the first generation of Pokemon. Enjoy!

    I caught a Missingno and didn't tell my friend when we hooked are gameboy's up to battle. I sent it out against his Venasaur and the Missingno converted his Venasaur into another pokemon that I can't recall. After the match, his blue version said it was corrupted and thus the Missingno did in fact ruin an entire saved game.

      thedialupgamer youtube and camera phones weren't invented when I was in grade school but I know for a fact the missingno ruined the games of me and three of my friends. Trading or battling missingno with another kid's un-corrupted game was a death sentence for their games. It was often done by my friends to other students to troll/for revenge on a regular basis.

      Missingno's too edgy for the anime. If you've ever seen fangames such as zeta omicron or red chapter with missingno its most commonly portrayed as an.... entity, that corrupts and destroys the world around it. Although that would be awesome to see in the anime, I just don't think it would fit with ash's personality. He's never had to beat something that wanted and WAS destroying the world.

      No, you're not, but there's a huge problem with it. Missingno. appears in different forms in different locales, like the japanese Ketsuban. If Gamefreak added Missingno., they'd have to be able to honor it in many locales. (A different form for the country/region you're in would be a start...)
      However there is a tribute to Pokemon Red/Blue being glitchy. Pattern Bush in Firered/Leafgreen is made to be patterned after Red/Blue's circuitboard, and the only type of pokemon you can catch there is- you guessed it- bug type.

    I remember back in the day, me and a friend went Googling to find out what Missingno was. Somehow, we stumbled onto what I'm assuming was some sort of fancomic or doujinshi which supposedly told Missingno's origin story.
    The main character was the Old Man's grandson or something, and the Old Man himself was a former researcher at the Pokemon Mansion. Missingno was supposedly some sort of failed experiment that escaped into the water along the coast, and the Old Man wanted his grandson to go catch it.

    I think that Missingno/M appears because originally Kangaskhan was supposed to be the finally evolution of the Cubone family, but they changed their minds last minute and there wasn't time to rewrite the games's code, so they instead moved that code to an empty area (the area on the edge of cinnabar where you shouldn't be able to go) but there is a way to access this area and so when you go there, Missingno appears

    To be more precise, MissingNo, as well as 44HY, Q, hPoke, and several other glitchmons in Red, Blue and Yellow were Generation 2 Pokemon they planned to include, but due to memory restrictions, had to be scratched. Glitch attacks, like TM 42 or TM 55 are speculated to be Gen 2 moves that were also scratched. I remember hearing about a removed HM, that affects the overworld and says "Ground rose up somewhere".

  • @Uthefos
    @Uthefos 11 лет назад +8

    6:40 Actually, it does seem very possible that Missingno was intended to fill space of deleted Pokemon. It has been stated officially by Nintendo that there were originally 190 Pokemon, but only the designers favorites made into the first game. After the hexadecimal number 190, it fills with glitch trainers instead of Missingno. Missingno is also spread out, and doesn't just occupy 152-190, but occupies various numbers like 32, and 160. So, Missingno does just fill removed Pokemon.

  • @theleumaseleets
    @theleumaseleets 7 лет назад +3

    Missingno is present in gen 4, but you can not catch it to my knowledge. Using an action replay, go into the place that you can walk with your Pokémon in. Once you're inside, activate the walk-through-walls cheat and leave park without having your Pokémon put back into the ball. Once you're out, get into an encounter with a wild Pokémon. If you've done everything right, it should be a double battle with a NPC that you may have had follow you in a different point in the game or it may be a trainer called TRAINER which will send out Missingno. If you don't get TRAINER try taking a different Pokémon to the park (I think it's Pal Park) and repeat the glitch. There are two ways to reset this, one is to save before performing the glitch and going back to that when you're done, or use walk-through-walls to get into the park without going through the entrance and then exiting it like you would normally.

    Alright so storytime: As a little girl I was playing my brother's pokemon game (he let me) and idk if he did this cheat or if it was a result of him using gameshark or whatever to cheat, but I ended up encountering M (or was it missingno? I think it was probably M.) I was just kinda surfing between the land and the water on Cinnabar Island and just so happened to encounter it. I didn't know what it was, and I thought it was a new type of pokemon, so I excitedly showed it to my older brother and asked if I could catch it. XD Suffice to say, he immediately freaked out and told me not to catch it, because it was a glitch and could mess up his game. I was disappointed, but I think I listened and didn't catch it. Or... maybe I did? Come to think of it, I thought I recalled catching M at some point. Crap, maybe I caught it once and then encountered it again and showed it to my brother or maybe I caught it and then showed it to him from the summary screen. Or maybe I accidentally caught it and then turned the gameboy off and on again? Man, I can't remember...

    Every time my friend and I would battle he would get stuck on the "Waiting for Opponent" screen and I would fight a trainer named '6' with crazy glitch pokemon. My friend also used a gameshark cheat that made me encounter wild giovanni who would send out a pokemon called C that would make the game freeze. We used that cheat alongside a bulbasaur cheat and all the C came looking like bulbasaur we could fight and even catch, they all had move sets from random pokemon. Weird stuff, always wondered why, it's what got me into programming.

  • @oreocookie1331
    @oreocookie1331 4 года назад +2

    I remember that my friend was over and I was maybe 10 at the oldest. He was playing his version of Red and Blue on the 64 GB pack that came with Stadium. He had just let us borrow his strategy guides for the game, and his mom was about to leave and told him to cut it off. Right before he did, he found on complete accident Missingno. I never will forget he snatched the strategy guide from my hand and turned as fast as lightning to the page that covered Cinnabar. There was absolutely no mention of it in there, and his mom kept pressuring him that they had to leave. After 2-3 Ultra balls that failed, he said "I hate to do it, but I don't have a choice." And used the Masterball. An absolute classic memory, and it was completely unintentional.

    Pokemon RBGY were originally going to have 190 pokemon and not 151. The 39 that were scrapped were later saved for GSC. Even though you cannot really see gen 2 pokemon in the games, their codes/souls are still in it. The 5 different missingnos that you can catch are actually ho-oh, lugia, larvitar, pupitar, and tyranitar. So if you caught a ghost missingo, you basically caught a Lugia in Gen 1. (Sort of)

    If you really want to have fun with this one then you can do what I did and take missingno into pokemon stadium. There is a real sprite and the announcer even says "It's Missingno!" And if I remember correctly you can teach Missingno Fly and then evolve it into a kangsaskahn and teach it surf, and strength, thus make it a bit a swiss army knife of a pokemon for the game. Then you can take this new swiss army knife into pokemon stadium and really play with the mechanics of type weaknesses that the computer tries to exploit.

    I have to disagree with the "Misigno doesn't delete save files" debunk. My copy of Pokemon red did get erased and rendered unplayable because of the glitch. Not only did the save file get deleted but whenever I turned the gameboy back on the logo would appear but the words Nintendo would scramble. Then it would just freeze there. Misigno or M may not damage your game at first but constant usage of him leads to permanent damage.

    • @RickRoller90001
      @RickRoller90001 9 лет назад +33

  • @emmaballz
    @emmaballz 10 лет назад +2

    Before watching this, I always suspected MissingNo. was one of a few tester Pokemon, like ' M.
    And it registered as 'MissingNo.' because that was what they programmed when a name was missing, or data was gone, and they used him to test that message. MissingNo. probably just appears in the game because of some programming glitches, and messes up your Hall Of Fame code when he appears inside of it.
    I think ' M was one of the placeholder Pokemon, and they named it ' M because if they had two or more Pokemon named MissingNo., it might cause bugs with the game (Just an assumption).
    There are probably more random names (Examples: Xz, g$ ;B) which are placeholders like ' M is, and just don't appear in the game.

    The Pokemon and their levels are based off the letters in your name. The game will line your name's hex values and create matching Pokemon . The level is based on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th letters and the Pokemon is based on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th letters. Also, the game for some reason adds the values 50 and 00 at the end of your name's values (most likely for keeping track of what the values are for) which will give a level 50 M' which is a sort of variant of Missingno.

  • @MagnumForce51
    @MagnumForce51 10 лет назад +2

    It would be pretty kick ass if they decided to make MissingNo an official pokeman. Perhaps give it a backstory. Something like a mysterious Pokemon from an alternate universe where it's presence in the normal pokemon universe can have adverse effects on reality it self. "Glitch" could be the "type" for this class of pokemon obviously.
    They could do all sorts of interesting things with this if they wanted to. Like for example if it's encountered "glitches" in their reality could be expressed like time paradoxes or non nonsensical things happening as if they were in a dream.
    Or random things like the moon vanishing or turning into a pizza or something. I was thinking that it could be something like that of an Eldritch Abomination.
    At least then it would make up for the godawful "Unknown" pokemon.

      I've got an idea for a fan game (which I'm working on, but we'll see how far it gets) in which MissingNo.s and other glitch Pokemon are the result of a boxed Pokemon trying (and failing) to escape the computer system, which permanently corrupts their genetic makeup.
      This is sort of like the stories of ghosts, vampires, and werewolves actually being assimilated or hacked programs alluded to in 'The Matrix: Reloaded'.
      I've even got an idea for a boss fight that uses 'M and MissingNo. in a similar fashion to the Twins in that movie. Come to think of it, there's a lot of inspiration coming from the Matrix trilogy in this game...
