I got a question

[Bakura2004]

We all know about the missingno cheat in red/blue, and we all know it was eliminated in yellow, right. Well my question is what was the purpose of that little bit of software that has erased so many of our saved files and why was nintendo able to erase it from the yellow version? Furthermore why were the red/blue versions so glichted up?

[Thunderbird]

In Red/Blue, the glitch is not purposely made. the glitch will help u duplicate the 6th item, but it can also glitch/erase your game. so when yellow was out nintendo fix the glitch.

[Mechaflame]

Yeah, when I caught it, it messed up my Hall of Fame. Very akward. I caught only because I got bored and didn't care about the game that much.

Its not much fun that they took it away in yellow but hey! i didnt use it for rare candies I just liked catching high leveled pokemon

[Mechaflame]

I loved catching those super high-leveled Pokemon, too! Though, they never went any higher than (if I remember correctly) level 299. That's when I gave it a Rare Candy and it went all the way down to level 0. I was so mad!

if u jst battle with them they go to lvl. 100

I caught a golbat and a snorlax with missingno and M and wow, did my game screw up or what!

Missingno. does appear in Yellow. If you do the Mew cheat incorrectly, Missingno. appears instead of Mew!!

Red/Blue was probley so glitched up becuase it was a first shot at Pokemon, and almost nobody gets something perfect on the first try. It takes multiple trys, and in our case, multiple versions before they get it right. People aren't perfect after all, so there is almost always going to be some sort of glitch.

(Yay, another penut butter jelly banna fan!)

Anyway back on topic:

Lucky has a good point. It was the first two pokemon games out and of course there were flaws. There is probably at least one glitch in every game too! In R/S there is a glitch about the "walk through walls" code and going inside the link cable collesium and when they go to the battle tile they end up fighting missingno (or at least a glitch pokemon similar to it)

[Lucky Flareon]

Yes, and I don't think we can ever expect a flawless game becuase hey humans are flawed, just like everything else in this world. What we can expect though is that they will fix old glitches (like they fixed the missingno one).

The reason MissingNo is in the game is because the creators were making a pokemon and they messed up or something and they hid it in the game.

Don't revive threads more than seven days old.



I heard that MissingNo was supposed to be the fourth legendary bird but they never erased it. Then, I guess it took the form of the Marowak ghost's sprite.
