I still wished Gamefreak would make Missingno official by making it into an UltraBeast. It looks like no normal pokemon, it appears in an unusual place (maybe through a warp hole?) and it doesn't have to make much sense. Like an Ultra Beast. #MakeMissingnoOfficial
Missing No. is a glitched pokemon that appears in an encounter-free zone (a place that shouldn't have wild pokemon encounters) so when you encounter it via glitches the game doesn't know what to do and puts a bunch of weird sprites all together and makes a glitched pokemon (Missing No.) Also Missing No. is a placeholder name it makes no sense to make it official
Giratina = missingno Giratina is known to distort reality and is known to be dangerous.the reverse world has a lot of similarities to glitch city from gen 1.
In pokemon mystery dungeon gears of time it's a cameo. It takes a bird like appearance. If you find, It shows up gives some dialogue and as quickly as it appears it disappears.
I always assumed missingno was the ghost of a Tetris piece. That existed in the deep code of the original game boy, that could only manifest by using the pokemon game as a medium to let you know it's displeasure of you not playing your original Tetris game anymore.
I though I was the only one to ever think that Haha, everyone tell me it looks liked just a glitched mess, but I thought tetris. Guess people like us try to just associate it with something familiar.
Lol, guilty. To be fair, it was to mess with the Elite Four more quickly because of the rumor that if you beat them 50 times in a row (waaayyyy to much free time as a kid) you would get a special certificate or a Mew or something.

@@GodzillaGamerITA MissingNo itself is official. And official failsafe that exists in every pokemon game when a PID is accessed that is not valid. Well it and Bad egg
@khsquare 02 It is because Missingno is not his creation and he doesn't know what he's fighting against Plus, it can crash the player's game whenever it wants, which by Arceus' perspective, is the equivalent of collapsing an entire universe without caring at all
Curse your false god Arceus. Lord Peeko created Arceus to serve as an assistant, just as Lord helix created arceus' opposite Giratina. But then when they went into a slumber to recover the energy lost, Arceus and giratina fought and when Arceus won with the help of Peeko-sensei's previous creations Dialga and palkia he posed as a god. #BelieveInThePeeko
I had the opposite. Missingno *created* my fear of chaotic, unknowable beings lurking in the fabric of reality. As soon as I made the connection to “what would this look and act like in the anime?” I wondered what Missingnos _this_world had. That’s a dark path.
If GF ever make Missingno official, it would have it’s own typing: a “digital” type. It’s ability: Time Corruption: (Basically Trick Room and Wonder Room in one turn)
MissingNo as a kid terrified me. I remember the first time seeing it I freaked out so hard. Goosebumps and just chills. For some reason anything that wasn't supposed to happen just terrified me. Now though I do look fondly on it. What a time to be alive. All the rumors and myths about it being a god pokemon was just incredible to live through. We'll never have anything like that again, and that is why I love it so much now. The nostalgia hits hard everytime I watch videos on glitches in pokemon games.
I used to do two things with this glitch: 1. If you surf Cinnabar coast after leaving Safari Zone, you encounter Safari pokemon with no ball restrictions. 2. Missingno can learn Cut and Fly. If you level up Missingno, it evolves to Kangaskhan, which can learn Surf and Strength. No other pokemon can learn all four (useful) HMs.
Nah man. They'll still be level 100 after the battle, even without xp gained because the game still runs a check there even though it gives no experience.
Trainer Name Data: "Jeezus" Wild Pokemon Encounter Data: ##### (default generation numbers) ...But after the "Old Man" fight/cutscene, some of the data gets swapped... Trainer Name Data: "Old Man" Wild Pokemon Encounter Data: "eezus" (trainer name minus first letter) Thus - the glitches you talk about only occur because the encounter data BECOMES the trainer's name! In a normal game, the Trainer Name Data doesn't affect the Wild Pokemon Encounter Data - so having a specific name WILL NOT create a unique play experience UNTIL the "Old Man" glitch is performed, in which case: the name BECOMES the Wild Pokemon Encounter Data... P.S. --- IMHO, glitches truly are the "ghosts in the machine" - and they exist to complete the spirit of a game... and that usually includes a little bit of mischief and a little bit of exploitation... ;-D
Sometimes I wonder how stories like these got passed around so much without the internet, and to people who aren't familiar with where it came from. Even before I was into Pokemon, I knew about Missingno and Lavender Town. It's weird.
Missingno was before my time, the myth in elementary school for me was an "invisible shiny bulbasaur" in gen 4 lol. I remember a friend saying he got it from leaving his cartridge in the action replay in the ds overnight. I tried to do it and it didn't work. Eventually I figured out what bulbapedia was and looked it up, and discovered it was actually a glitch pokemon that looks like a whitish box with a shiny effect and bulbasaur's cry. im sure he got it by messing around with cheat codes and corrupting a pokemon by accident lol. I miss those days, when catching dialga and giratinanwas so exciting to me i remember my heart pumping and adrenaline going through me lol. I wish games still made me feel that level of excitement
Indeed. Btw heres a fun fact: apparently MissingNo. was not the only glitch Pokemon in Red/Blue. It was the first discovered and most famousbut there are a lot more 😱
I kinda wish Missingno was official, and that it had a glitch gimmick where it would simulate glitchiness whenever you used it. Imagine if it randomly changed its stats, types, and moves mid-battle, and also gave access to little "error rooms" for unique loot. And then in the anime version, instead of Missingno you have a pokemon that embodies cut and censored content, and an entire arc just happens involving it but the viewers only know about it through passing remarks.
MissingNo influenced me more indirectly. Directly, sure it made curious over a variety of glitches, but indirectly, it showed me Mew’s picture through glitched Hall of Fame Data, before I knew what it was. Been fascinated with Mew ever since.
My name was ANDY in red/blue so I was lucky enough to encounter mewtwo pretty often. I caught like 150 of them with my duplicated master balls and taught them all different moves. I then transferred most of them into a pokemon stadium cartridge
How was Missingno ever discovered though? Who was the first person to talk to the old man, fly to Cinnabar, then go up and down? And how did it get SO widespread in a world before internet to tell us these things? I remember just knowing about it as a kid, but how I found out, I couldnt say I recall.
Even without the glitch, non water wild pokemon can show up on the coast of Cinnabar. So people took botice so ethics g was weird about it. And i guess they dug deeper & dsicovered MissingNo.

I used to be scared of MissingNo. as a child for some dumb reason.. When I first heard of it, I was fascinated by the fact, that I could duplicate items and stuff, so I tried it myself and even caught it on my cartridge. Now all of that glitchiness happened and 5-year-old me was terrified by the way my character got scrambled and distorted. I'm not talking about just a little terrified like with a simple jumpscare or something like that, instead I was unable to sleep for several days and even had nightmares when I did get to sleep. I cannot really forget that, even tho this happened about 13 years ago. Just thinking of some of these nightmares gives me the creeps 'til this day.

It was like that moment as a child where you thought you knew everything about the game, until someone( not the internet) shows you that missingno glitch/ and the mew glitch
I still find it amazing how all those rumours spread back in the days before the internet being widely used. I think i heard about it from some unofficial magazine.
As a kid I was scared of the dark Why? Darkri, as a kid I was afraid of it so I was always scared Then, I got my first Pokemon game. And I got missingno and I saw how strong it was and then I was like. "Darkri has nothing on this".
I remember the routine back when Pokémon first came out, yes I watched the very first episode. Standard routine: Got out of private school, got home, didn’t have time to change but had enough time to make frozen chicken taquitos in the microwave. I literally have no idea how and why chicken taquitos were available, I only assume my parents got them from Sams club or some bulk carry store. Either way, it was like a religion to me, Pokémon and taquitos. I’m 35 now and obviously that moment in my childhood was embedded for life.
What an incredible mess of a video. Massive overuse of editing to hide the fact that it's padded with about 10 minutes of rambling/filler and no content. This reminds me of the papers I used to write in college where I'd try too hard to make pointless connections because I used to get off on being a pseudo-intellectual.
I was 15 when pokemon came out. So it didn't creep me out, but missingno was a cool glitch my little brother did for me to help me get more pokeballs or masterballs. But gaming glitches in general were very fascinating to me from a young age. Only ones to creep me out were 16 bit Sonic ones ironically.
Missingno never glitched my game but if I used him his level would immediately go down to the natural level cap after any non pvp fight. I had also sometimes combined this glitch with all the wonderful exploits gameshark had to offer. Edit: I forgot to mention that I didnt have to talk to the old man to get him to appear...
@@vulcanraven9701 it probably would then rewind to kill him again and again over and over while saying “you did this to me” In a glitched distorted voice
@@vulcanraven9701 would finally bring some more lore to the Pokémon #000, and ash having lived through dying over and over again would probably give them a reason to keep him in the story, not as a main character but as one none the less
I actually took MissingNo more negatively than that, just because I found it so unsettling. I still used it for free masterballs and rare candies, but I never found it comforting. I never tried catching it because I wanted to get away asap. I found it even more unsettling when I'd run into it in the Gameboy tower on Stadium since it showed it saving the game as you encounter it. I more or less thought of it as a corruption of a mostly happy fantasy, but I used it as if it were black magic to get ill gotten power or Pokemon junk food (rare Candies, literally)
I rememeber I turned my gameboy off when I tried the glitch and missingno appeared. I realised missingno meant missing number and turned the game boy off in a panic 😂
Just so everyone knows, Missingno is HARMLESS To game data and the corrupted sprites can be fixed by viewing a Pokedex entry of a normal (Non-glitch) Pokemon like Bulbasaur. Also, Missingno is the remnants of 39 cut Pokemon that were scrapped from the Gen 1 beta versions, including a shark pokemon called Jaggu which I love. 9 of the Missingno have valid, unique cries. Helix Chamber, a Pokemon beta archival site, has been given a dump of the back sprites of the cut Pokemon as well as various other beta assets from Red/Green. Take a look if you want, it's really cool! Thumb this so Treesicle can see it!
You can also encounter Missingno on the East Bank at Seafoam Island and "safely" catch it without corrupting your game. Another glitch that would be comparable to Silent Hill, would be the Glitch City... glitch. It involves the Old Man/Missingo glitch, along with the Safari Zone. When you activate it, you end up in a area that should never have existed. If you don't have a Pokemon that knows fly, you are trapped there.
Always loved the sprite, it looks like there is one single eye on the high right and you can almost see a distorted face from there, I loved it since I was a kid.
Imagine the havoc made by trading missingno to an unsuspecting victim Then they trade it to get rid of it then the next person does it and then it happens over and over again till everyone has a corrupted game.
If we got technical, the reason you beat your level 100 neighbour was probably because your Pokemon had significantly increased EVs while only using Rare Candies doesn’t have the same effect. (I have some Smogon Experience lol)
If you caught a pokemon above level 100 you could use rare candies until its level reset to zero. Then you could level it up using additional rare candies to get it to level 100. The thing is it would glitch and it couldn't be knocked out. If you tried to store it the game would crash. However, IF you traded it to Crystal storing it would be just fine. You couldn't heal it a the pokemon center though, or it would become just a regular pokemon.
I never realized how Lovecraftian it was. A being from outside of the sane and rational universe that provides untold rewards for performing of a ritual. Then this being corrupts your data and crashes your game. Awesome...
misinformation off the bat: 6:58 the slots are filled with decreasing probabilities. 1.The earlier slots in wild data are more common and the encounter chances drop quick. It's not a "1/9 chance" 2. Not all 256-151=105 missing indices are missingno. They only occur in the index is unused from 1-190 so 190-151=39 missingnos. index 0 is 'm (a missingno lookalike), leaving 65 glitch pokemon left that are not missingno. 3. your game cannot be corrupted by missingo. Many of the other glitch pokemon can crash your game, and even then, only very rare circumstances cause file deletion. (normal Missingno from pokemon yellow can crash your game [and often does]) The funny thing is the whole reason this works is a different glitch most people don't notice. WHETHER you get an encounter is determined by the bottom-right tile on your character sprite while WHAT you encounter is determined by the bottom-left tile. This is why you can walk through certain grass patches in veridian forest and never get an encounter. The tiles are screwed up. The game thinks you're on WATER when thinking about generating encounters, but the bottom-left tile is shore, which counts as grass considering that the city proper should not have water, so it generates GRASS encounters.
In all seriousness, if I was the owner of Pokémon, after Red n Blue I would have granted MissingNo. its Pokemonship, and made it cannon. Imagine the lore, and stories you could tell with a glitch Pokémon like that.
thats why Kangaskhan is a mother like pokemon without a baby verison missingno is that baby they stopped that idea most of the way through the production of the game and it didnt get deleted right (iyf missingno could be short for missing number)

Imagine if missigno made an appearance in a Pokémon series as a glitchy mess of reality
I'd root for it to kill Ash
@@vulcanraven9701 it probably would then rewind to kill him again and again over and over while saying “you did this to me” In a glitched distorted voice
@@razorwolf2758 It'd be the best episode in the entire series.
@@vulcanraven9701 would finally bring some more lore to the Pokémon #000, and ash having lived through dying over and over again would probably give them a reason to keep him in the story, not as a main character but as one none the less
@@razorwolf2758it’s a glitch. It’s not supposed to have lore.
ALIENS ARE REAL GRANT! XD
That killed me XD
Now I'm a ghost too @_@
Excellent editing, guys. 😁👍
I remmeber the 7th thing in your inventory would get a huge item amount boost and weird number texture. Best for rare candies and master balls
I remember summer camp all the kids trying this glitch.. and telling each other since this was real there had to be a way to get Togepi
Watching this video high is the worst thing that's ever happened to me
I actually took MissingNo more negatively than that, just because I found it so unsettling. I still used it for free masterballs and rare candies, but I never found it comforting. I never tried catching it because I wanted to get away asap. I found it even more unsettling when I'd run into it in the Gameboy tower on Stadium since it showed it saving the game as you encounter it. I more or less thought of it as a corruption of a mostly happy fantasy, but I used it as if it were black magic to get ill gotten power or Pokemon junk food (rare Candies, literally)
I rememeber I turned my gameboy off when I tried the glitch and missingno appeared. I realised missingno meant missing number and turned the game boy off in a panic 😂
Just so everyone knows, Missingno is HARMLESS To game data and the corrupted sprites can be fixed by viewing a Pokedex entry of a normal (Non-glitch) Pokemon like Bulbasaur.
Also, Missingno is the remnants of 39 cut Pokemon that were scrapped from the Gen 1 beta versions, including a shark pokemon called Jaggu which I love. 9 of the Missingno have valid, unique cries. Helix Chamber, a Pokemon beta archival site, has been given a dump of the back sprites of the cut Pokemon as well as various other beta assets from Red/Green. Take a look if you want, it's really cool!
Thumb this so Treesicle can see it!
Most ghosts that I've encountered were pretty chill tbh! They're just people. Just people who died that's all.
You can also encounter Missingno on the East Bank at Seafoam Island and "safely" catch it without corrupting your game.
Another glitch that would be comparable to Silent Hill, would be the Glitch City... glitch.
It involves the Old Man/Missingo glitch, along with the Safari Zone.
When you activate it, you end up in a area that should never have existed.
If you don't have a Pokemon that knows fly, you are trapped there.
You lost me
My brain during math:....
My brain watching this video: REAL SHIT
Finally another good treesicle video lol i havent cared much about the lastest videos they have been making
I would often get weird trainers in that same place with only missignolike pokemons.
Always loved the sprite, it looks like there is one single eye on the high right and you can almost see a distorted face from there, I loved it since I was a kid.
**ah, so it appears pikapeen is a totally suitable name for its number**
Imagine the havoc made by trading missingno to an unsuspecting victim
Then they trade it to get rid of it then the next person does it and then it happens over and over again till everyone has a corrupted game.
If we got technical, the reason you beat your level 100 neighbour was probably because your Pokemon had significantly increased EVs while only using Rare Candies doesn’t have the same effect. (I have some Smogon Experience lol)
if you caught the weird pokemon while surfing for the dupe they would have really weird move sets that they would normally never have
If you caught a pokemon above level 100 you could use rare candies until its level reset to zero. Then you could level it up using additional rare candies to get it to level 100. The thing is it would glitch and it couldn't be knocked out. If you tried to store it the game would crash. However, IF you traded it to Crystal storing it would be just fine. You couldn't heal it a the pokemon center though, or it would become just a regular pokemon.
I never realized how Lovecraftian it was. A being from outside of the sane and rational universe that provides untold rewards for performing of a ritual. Then this being corrupts your data and crashes your game. Awesome...
And that it can be found by swimming by the sea which also fits the Lovecraftian mythos.
never in my entire life have i seen a 5 minute long intro to a 13 minute long video
I'm glad Grant makes content he wants to make rather than a trend. Wish he would get more support.
if Missingno isn't now refered to as Infamous Oopsie by the end of the week ima be a lil bit sadder than usual.
Did anyone else ever have a run in with Missingno.’s elusive counterpart, [Block] M’ [Chip] ?
Missingo goes beyond metaphysics.
Im watching this with a hangover right now and Grant...all this glitching really tripped me out lol
I enjoy what a guy called Linkara did with it for his show.
misinformation off the bat: 6:58 the slots are filled with decreasing probabilities.
1.The earlier slots in wild data are more common and the encounter chances drop quick. It's not a "1/9 chance"
2. Not all 256-151=105 missing indices are missingno. They only occur in the index is unused from 1-190 so 190-151=39 missingnos. index 0 is 'm (a missingno lookalike), leaving 65 glitch pokemon left that are not missingno.
3. your game cannot be corrupted by missingo. Many of the other glitch pokemon can crash your game, and even then, only very rare circumstances cause file deletion. (normal Missingno from pokemon yellow can crash your game [and often does])
The funny thing is the whole reason this works is a different glitch most people don't notice. WHETHER you get an encounter is determined by the bottom-right tile on your character sprite while WHAT you encounter is determined by the bottom-left tile. This is why you can walk through certain grass patches in veridian forest and never get an encounter. The tiles are screwed up. The game thinks you're on WATER when thinking about generating encounters, but the bottom-left tile is shore, which counts as grass considering that the city proper should not have water, so it generates GRASS encounters.
I like the Crypt of the Necrodancer music used.
MISSIGNO IS THE TRUE VILLAIN OF DETECTIVE PIKACHU.
7:06
This is actually me
In all seriousness, if I was the owner of Pokémon, after Red n Blue I would have granted MissingNo. its Pokemonship, and made it cannon. Imagine the lore, and stories you could tell with a glitch Pokémon like that.
i heard that its a missing link between cubone and Kangaskhan
thats why Kangaskhan is a mother like pokemon without a baby verison missingno is that baby they stopped that idea most of the way through the production of the game and it didnt get deleted right (iyf missingno could be short for missing number)
@@shelliblossom8953 what a shitty theory.
Funny how gamefreak played off Missingno Golbat and M and said they were intentional glitches even going so far as to add them into a manga
