Glitch Discussion

[Shadow Ball]

I've obtained Mew through the mew glitch, I've done the missingno glitch, visited Glitch City, as well as the Old Man item slot glitch and the Safari Zone pokemon appearing on the East Coast of Cinnibar glitch.

Now that I think about it, I've done tons of glitches for my Red version. xD

Though, evidence point towards this one not being available via Old Man Glitch. None of the characters have the value C6, according to the table on the glitch's page.

Not quite. It was red and twice as tall. Slightly thinner as well.

BTW why do so many call it Cinnibar Island? It's Cinnabar Island. /Nitpicking

EDIT: Searched a lot in Bulbapedia but didn't find any examples of the Missigno you're describing.

Everytime I look up glitches on bulbapedia.com, I promise to myself that I would try and make these glitches work in my ROM and real Pokemon games, but never got to it. But what I usually love to do is look at the glitches on youtube whenever I'm bored. I wish there were still more glitches like this now

Well, this glitch involving a TAS is insane.

I so want to do that. With a real game, real time, on a SGB.

I did Missingno by accident when I was really little, I never touched that gameboy for weeks...

Same here. I turned it off right after I found it, too. So I was really freaked out when I saw that my Hall of Fame was messed up...

[Professor Cactus]

I used to have a list that told you how to make specific pokemon, trainers, or MissingNo. show up in the MissingNo. cheat by using specific letters in your character's name.

Yeah, I was wondering when I got a Poliwrath, haha.

That sounds funky. :o

[Noblebeastx]

I remember getting missingnumber pokemon way way back when pokemon yellow came out and i never figured out how it happened.

[Professor Cactus]

From what I understand, the MissingNo. glitch works by switching out your name for the old man's name, it stores your name in the thing that determines which pokemon you encounter in an area and so it bases which pokemon you encounter and what lvl they are on the letters in your name except for the first letter. Most people will have the last 2 slots blank, so there's usually always a chance of encountering a MissingNo. over lvl 100.

From what I remember, there's a few different variations of MissingNo. you can encounter through the glitch and you could also catch trainers too.

[Noblebeastx]

If my memory serves me right i was near cinbar island surfing and i encountered one.

I just assumed everyone knew how to do the glitch.

1. Enter Veridian City and talk to the old man.
2. Have him show you how to catch pokemon.
3. Fly to Cinabar Island and surf along the right side of the gym.

Encountering MissingNo. causes the item in your 6th slot to replicate to max, useful for getting more master balls, gold nuggets, or moon stones.
If you fly from the Safari Zone instead, then you'll encounter Safari Zone pokemon.

[atari7800]

has anyone caught the ghost version of missingno thats my favorite variation. also i have tried all the glitches an my pokemon red cart and the all work.

[Haberdasher]

There actually are non-Cinnabar places to do the Missingno glitch. The coast of the Seafoam Islands works equally well, despite the fact that you have to Surf to get there. I discovered that by accident the other day. (IIRC, it's because the game thinks you're on tall grass...)
Also, I've seen one of those Missingno glitch trainer name lists, too. And you can't get Mew from it... but you can get Lv. 159 Mewtwos...

[U_Flame]

I also remember something else. The brain memorizes in pieces so this could just be a false memory combing a wild encounter and battling a nearby trainer with Milotic. But if my memory is in fact, correct, I encountered a wild Milotic in Sapphire on the route after Fortree City. I thought it was normal so I ignored it. I could've caught a wild Milotic from a glitch...I don't know why it happened. But my memory isn't clear so I could be wrong. But I could be right. Anyone else encounter a Pokemon in an area where that Pokemon isn't supposed to be?

They do, but that doesn't work in Yellow, which he was talking about.

This is supposed to be for Metal and Colour only, but I can say that I'm pretty sure somebody mentioned something similar not too long ago... Either you were both mixing up memories like you said, or it is a common problem with old cartridges, or some new glitch no-one knew about (unlikely).

I don't see how that would work. I thought it had to do with the name being stored in the area that hosts the wild Pokemon on coast tiles, and it only stayed as the name because there are no Pokemon on coast tiles in Cinnabar. So, that would mean that there are no Pokemon on coast tiles in Seafoam and the routes between them either.

Actually, between Fuchsia and Seafoam there are no coast tiles at all. That's probably why it works with Seafoam.

[JakeyBoy]

Yes, but if I remember correctly Seafoam has them, and I assumed there would be Pokemon allocated to them. Maybe I'm wrong.

[The 100 Mega Shock]

I'd assume Grass and Sea tiles load from seperate encounter banks.

We can also deduce that the problem coast tiles were flagged as Tall Grass-type encounter spaces.

[JakeyBoy]

Ok, I get it now. Gotcha.

I have both red and blue versions, and I've tried the Mew Glitch, the MISSINGNO. glitch, and went to Glitch City. There's a funky glitch you can do that goes with Glitch city though:

1. Execute the Glitch City Glitch. That is to say you go into the Safari Zone, go back, when the man says "Do you want to leave the Safari Zone early?" Say no, then save, reset.
2. Walk around as normal, using up your 500 steps. BUT, on the 499th step, jump off of a ledge so that when "Ding-Dong! Your Safari game is over!" pops up, you will be in the air.
3. After you complete the dialog, you will find that you can walk over everything.

Some things you should know...
A. You need one Pokemon, and that Pokemon has to be poisoned. If the Pokemon doesn't have a lot of HP, have a lot of Potions on standby. That way, when you're in the Safari Zone entrance after performing the glitch, your Pokemon can faint, resulting in you being able to walk thru walls almost everywhere.
B. Don't go inside of a building. This will cause the glitch to end, and you will cease to be able to walk through normally impassable objects. Reseting the game will also cause the glitch to end.

I know that wasn't the best tutorial... I hope that helps... (you can use this glitch in Red and Blue. I don't know if you can use this glitch in Yellow yet. I'll have to check.)

P.S. I got this glitch off of Youtube, I think.

Pretty sure you can do this in Yellow as well. This trick was used in a speedrun to beat Pokémon Blue in just less than an hour and a half.

[Professor Cactus]

It won't let me post links yet, but the article on the Old Man Glitch at Bulbapedia pretty much explains it all. Also, apparently the 2 causes of the Old Man Glitch were fixed in Yellow, but the "mew glitch" can still be done to obtain various glitched pokemon and encounter glitch trainers as well including Professor Oak.

I saw a TAS of Pokemon Green. He beat the game in less then 5 minutes. I crapped myself over that time.

Yeah, unfortunately they fixed that with later Japanese games and basically all the Generation I games released outside Japan...
