  • Missingno is a ghostly glitch in Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow that's haunted cartridges for over 20 years. Where did Missingno come from? What has been its effect on Pokemon Gen 1 and those who play it? Join Grant as he shows you why Missingno is more iconic than Pikachu and DEFINITELY better than Ash Ketchum in this episode of The Story You Never Knew.

      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

    At the time in my life that I played Gen 1, I had a wildly active imagination and would often picture the in-game scenes playing out in my head pretty realistically. The idea of myself riding the coast on my Seadra and encountering a glitchy sentient mess of symbols just floating above the water was _horrifying_ as a child.
    Heck, even the thought of it now is still pretty horrifying.

  • @SilverStormShadow
    @SilverStormShadow 5 років тому +67

    Missingno doesn't damage your game outside of hall of fame corruptions. The scrambled sprites can be fixed by viewing Bulbasaurs pokedex entry. The other effects that have been documented are results from other glitches such as super glitch in yellow. Another explanation of the effects is that these cartridges are old and probably dirty meaning they wouldn't read properly causing strange graphical glitches. Anyone who says they lost their data probably caught Missingno and then their battery in the cartridge died meaning their data was lost and the blame was put on Missingno. Go and catch Missingno there are no bad effects. Although I wouldn't reccomend trying to catch or use Missingno in yellow simply because it's really hard to catch him because the game is likely to crash upon encountering it and Missingno down levels to lv1 every time he gains exp through battle he also has absurd amounts of health so if you use him in battle when your opponent attacks, you may be sitting there for a very long time. But in red and blue, Missingno can be fun to play with because he is the definition of a glass cannon. Absurdly high attack but pitiful defence and speed. In conclusion Missingno is harmless and you should catch one

    • @Missingno_Miner
      @Missingno_Miner 5 років тому +3

      Missingno doesnt cause glitches because of you doing something involving it its very presence makes the game break since its not supposed to in the game. It exsists only due to a glitch and inevitably causes more glitches as the game constantly tries and fails to figure our what it is

    • @ephemeralViolette
      @ephemeralViolette 5 років тому +10

      @@Missingno_Miner If I'm not mistaken, the effects of Missingno are caused by the sprite (which clearly isn't image data) being decompressed. Sprites are decompressed in SRAM using three buffers which adds up to addresses 0xA000 to 0xA497. The "sprite" it decompresses overflows into the Hall of Fame data stored in SRAM 0xA598 to 0xB857. Essentially, it just overwrites your save file without informing you. That's also why the data stays corrupted when you restart the game (without manually saving). This also explains why Ketsuban (Japanese Missingno) and yellow Missingno crash the game if encountered. Their sprites decompress past SRAM and overflow into WRAM, generally corrupting the sound data (addresses 0xC000 to 0xC0F2) in a way that freezes the game. (If I'm not mistaken anyways.)
      This is also the reason the stable Missingno variants (the ghost and fossil ones) don't cause any of the bad effects. The sprites used by those are presumably hard coded, and are actually used elsewhere in the game. As such, they don't improperly decompress and overwrite anything else in RAM.

      @kodekristian 5 років тому +11

      It is not classified as Gen 2. When transferring Pokémon between generations, you are simply transferring a string of data, telling the receiving game to generate a Pokémon from it with whatever data structure the receiving game has.
      Since glitch Pokémon and glitch moves are IDs that are not occupied by intended data in their respective game, if transferred to a later generation where the exact same data is occupied, the Pokémon/moves will take the form of that data. There is nothing else to it.
      Also, which Pokémon MissingNo will turn into will of course depend on which version of MissingNo is traded. There are quite a few of them, all with unique IDs, even though some look identical they're still different. There are also many other glitch Pokémon besides MissingNo in the first generation.

    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.

    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.

      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

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

    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.
