Missingno = Slowpoke Problem
 
Ok, so I decide to do a little test on my Gold and Red games. I caught a Missingno(suicide I know) and then traded it to Gold. It then became this impossible to beat Slowpoke.

It had no weaknesses, no move it couldn't learn and it was genderless. So, I set up a little tournament with some friends to test its skills. It was winner takes 1 Pokemon from every other player. Anyway I lost in the final round.

My Slowpoke was traded away to my mate, and, BOOMSHANKA! It said " Huh, Slowpoke is evolving" and it evolved into a Charizard! My mate, not wanting such a glitch traded back for my Lugia.

So I bred my Charizard with a Ditto. It worked somehow and the egg contained a Charmander that I put back onto my Red thus I had the mightiest Pokemon Ever!

Any opinions?

LOL, Biggest Sucide Mission Ive Ever seen reported :D

Erm, Wierd Glitch though o.o

Erm Missingo Is a very Strange Creature and Full Of Glitches I S'pose is that you just release it?
If thats even possible. XD Havnt played R/B/Y And G/S/C for ages :D

johnnykenny1234 September 22nd, 2007 12:55 AM

yes thats defianetly suicide, did it do anything funny to your red? coz i caught one once and it became like glitch city

Gold Tom September 22nd, 2007 2:04 AM

Well all the back pics of my Pokemon were screwed for a while but after that it went back to normal.

Zet September 22nd, 2007 2:40 AM

you should try battling with friends with missingno, one time i did it with some friends and to them my missingno looked like a butterfree and it could use rock throw instead of gust(can't remember what move it was) and then all my other pokemon changed because of it, missingno has its perks at times:P

Gold Tom September 22nd, 2007 2:49 AM

My Charmander is still kicking @$$!

MoonlightUmbreon September 22nd, 2007 5:44 AM

Definite Suicide Mission! lol

That must be one heck of a glitchy Charizard. I remember once I caught <STRANGEBOX>M<STRANGEBOX> and accidentally had six Pokemon in my party. My proudly no rare candy raised lv100 Mew (Mew Glitch) and a ton of other authentically raised lv100 were MUTILISED BY THIS STUPID GLITCH!!!
And I thought it would just be a laugh. Now when Advanced gens can't trade with old ones, I look back and laugh. (lol)

RAWR ^_^ September 22nd, 2007 6:05 AM

Omdz
Guess what I just dug out
:P
A Gameadvance and Pokemon Red >:P
I Guess I'll go test out a few things :P

MoonlightUmbreon September 22nd, 2007 6:07 AM

What're you going to be messing around with?

In thing I can Find >:)

I'll probably dig out my borther GBA and do a battle wth missingo and see what happens. See if I can replicate The Butefree Glitch above :D

MoonlightUmbreon September 22nd, 2007 7:29 AM

If you have two GBs, or one GB and one GBA, or two GBAs and a link cable, battle and pull out the cable, I hear that has some very interesting effects. That includes pixilated glitches. Be careful though, it might screw the game up.

Heh, everyone in this thread's a glitch hunter! :)

RAWR ^_^ September 22nd, 2007 8:57 AM

mY finds So Far

Well Nothing, :S

My Missingo Is OFDing Perfectly Normal Thigns Liek NAy Missingo Does O Well :(
Ill try again tomorrow. I dont feel very well again

MoonlightUmbreon September 22nd, 2007 9:05 AM

I'd try too, but my old GBA doesn't work anymore and I can't find my SP.

x BlonDe x September 22nd, 2007 9:30 AM

Can you get a Missingno in Blue? If so where? I never thought much about my Blue game, seeing that I got it when I was, like 6. :surprised:

MoonlightUmbreon September 22nd, 2007 9:34 AM

Just get the coffee man to show you to catch a Pokemon and immediately fly to Cinnabar Island and surf up and down the South side. You'll get either M or MissingNo, or some Pokemon from the last Route/Place you've been. Or Pokemon over Lv100

Where's the coffee man? I haven't played for a long time. :3

J.M. September 22nd, 2007 12:47 PM

In Viridian City. He blocks your way for a bit standing sideways.. haha

Btw, that's absolutely hilarious... Slowpoke evolving into a Chrizard through a trade..

Gold Tom September 22nd, 2007 5:55 PM

I know eh! It's baby Charmander is now evolved into a Wortortle!

SilencedShooter September 22nd, 2007 8:10 PM

Missingno....man I used to love playing R/B, but when I look back....how did a professional game have so many glitches?

MoonlightUmbreon September 22nd, 2007 8:46 PM

Who cares? Glitch hunting gave me something to do other than the main storyline. I heard a report on Trsrockin.com that a kid had there Hall of Fame screwed up and a strange glitch appeared - something that looked along the lines of a skeleton of a Bulbasaur. This is a little hard to believe, but we are talking about <STRANGEBOX>M<STRANGEBOX> and MissingNo. here.

Charmander to Wartortle? Well, we are talking HEX numbers here.

Tanooki September 22nd, 2007 8:53 PM

Cinnabar Island was the epicenter of glitches in Red/Blue/Yellow. From that respect, it doesn't totally surprise me that it was removed in Gold/Silver/Crystal.

MoonlightUmbreon September 22nd, 2007 8:57 PM

Yeah, they had to make sure that the G/S/C MissingNo. didn't come popping out. Of course, people do shark their games.

Gold Tom September 22nd, 2007 9:11 PM

My Rare Candies (via glitch) have just leveled up my Wartortle into a Nidoking!

MoonlightUmbreon September 22nd, 2007 11:34 PM

The glitchy rare candies probably don't matter, because I did use them lots and nothing happens. It was probably your glitchy MissingNo.'s son/daughter.
What makes it even glitchier, is that you can only get Nidoking with a Moon Stone. Oh well, good Pokedex filler, lol.;)

Well, just thank the Lord you're not playing Diamond and Pearl. If you have stadium you can fix up your screwed boxes.

SilencedShooter September 23rd, 2007 4:31 AM

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had a missingno evolve into a Kangaskhan?

That happens when you catch a 'M, not a Missingno. Normal Missingnos don't evolve (unless... your game is crazy O.o)

SilencedShooter September 23rd, 2007 4:36 AM

You can't call red and blue anything BUT crazy. I caught all the safari zone pokemon because of that glitch. :]

MoonlightUmbreon September 23rd, 2007 5:23 AM

Yeah, my horrific MissingNo. never evolved. Are you sure you're not using an M? Your game is more crazy than normal if MissingNo.'s the one evolving.

SilencedShooter September 23rd, 2007 5:33 AM

Nah it probally was an M. I'm basing all of this off of memory...maybe I should dust off my blue version...

MoonlightUmbreon September 23rd, 2007 5:37 AM

Oh, yes, blue version is old. If you start to shark it you may get some funny results.

Gold Tom September 24th, 2007 1:49 AM

Nope! It's a MissingNo, transferring it to Gold probably screwed it up especially since I bred it!

Anyway I'm going to put it back onto Gold for a few days, see what happens!

omfx___harley September 24th, 2007 3:59 AM

Doesn't g/s/c have an error sheild and whenever you try to trade a glitch its all like "so-and-so's MISSINGNO looks abnormal"? Cuz that's what I learned.

Yeah, but occasionally you can cheat the system!

Dragon Tamer Ed September 24th, 2007 10:00 AM

Glitches are cool like that, but can be deadly if you're not careful. Years of glitching up my old Red version has stopped it producing any wild pokemon.

Evil Rocket Scientist September 24th, 2007 10:58 AM

the must fun thin of missingno. is the hall of fame scramble.


got Koga, a house, half a tree, two random glitchy squares and a very glitchy back sprited spearow in my hall of fame.

I guess my Red's crazy then. I had one MissingNo evolve into a Rydon, and other into a Fearow.

Gold Tom September 25th, 2007 12:29 AM

After taking down the Elite Four and Lance with my Nidoking I then got a normal Hall of Fame and so I put back my Nidoking onto Red and it turned back into Slowpoke!

Your hex numbers are screwed. Deadly fun is fun until it turns deadly I'm afraid.

Gold Tom September 25th, 2007 3:40 AM

Meh! It should fix itself if I reset the game! My Gold is still OK it still believes the Pokemon are what they are.

J-Rad September 26th, 2007 2:50 PM

yeah that is suicide, but I tryed to trade a missingno to my gold when I waz liek8 and on the trade sceen in my gold version under my red version in missingno's place wuz belsosum, but when i tryed to trade it, it wouldn't let me, just weird

wth that's messed up. what is going to evolve into, a ho-oh?

nosferatu September 26th, 2007 5:56 PM

you should breed the nidoking and see what happens then

Skymin September 26th, 2007 9:15 PM

I've actually tried to trade a Missingo to Gold. It said that when I tried to trade it, it was a Slowpoke and it was something like too special to trade. I'm surprised you got it to work.

Gold Tom September 26th, 2007 11:38 PM

So anyway, I traded back my Slowpoke only to find it becoming a Nidoking again! So I took your advice, grabbed my ditto and started breeding! I'll keep you posted!

nosferatu October 3rd, 2007 10:47 PM

has anything interesting happened yet?

DarkArcz October 3rd, 2007 11:48 PM

I've only ever heard of Missingno becoming Kangaskhans and Dittos. I never heard of one becoming a Charizard or a Nidoking before. Maybe you caught some new subspecies of the Glitch family?

Gold Tom October 4th, 2007 12:59 AM

Ok, hatched his egg today and it was a Genderless, Shiny, Nidoran Male!

nosferatu October 4th, 2007 1:27 AM

cool i was playing around with my ditto which has the cooltrainer female attack. so i was feeding it pp ups and here a the results
first attack
sometimes its says the katteefemale symbol ( thats my name in the game long story dont ask) pp went up other times it says 's pp went up
second attack
just 's pp went up
third attack
it says tranforms pp went up
fourth attack
same as second

and with my 'm it is around level 13. (it takes so long to raise it up even with rare candys hey btw is there everstones in b/r/y ?)
its attack is really high compared to the rest of the stats

How can a Nidoran Male be genderless? O.o

Have you tried breeding it with a Jynx? Maybe you'll get a Smoochum with Flamethrower or something.

Gold Tom October 4th, 2007 7:58 PM

What I mean is, it didn't have the Gender Notification it was just a Nidoran, with Male Nidoran Sprites.

I'll take a look through my box in Red and see if I have a Jynx, that could be good! Also I'll dig out my Hitmonlee and check out a Tyrogue.

DarkArcz October 4th, 2007 8:41 PM

With your luck in glitched up breeding, I wouldn't be surprised if the thing that hatches out is a Lv 259 Mew ><

Gold Tom October 5th, 2007 12:22 AM

Anyway, it hatched as a Smoochum, it was Male(yes, Male), knew Blizzard, Poison Sting and Thunder Punch(?). I'm going to check out it's Fighting abilities tomorrow!

SilencedShooter October 5th, 2007 10:13 AM

The more I here these stories the less believable they seem...

But hey, who am I to say anything?

(And I don't think Nidorans have gender notifications, just the gender sign in there names.)

nosferatu October 5th, 2007 1:55 PM

i beleive in this 90% becuase with everything i always have a bit of doubt. The reason why i believe in this so much is becuase this sorta thing has been known to happen. Maybe not to this exent (sp?)bbut its not like he is the only one who is claiming that his missingno evoles strangely. He has just gone step further.

now on to what i was going to say, i think if you keep breeding the offspring with normal pokemon eventually the offspring will be normal becuase the missingno "gene" will become deluited (sp?)and eventually dissapear

Gold Tom October 5th, 2007 5:22 PM

Yeah, This is real but I've stopped breeding the glitched Pokemon and I'm now focusing on Smoochum, I have aquired another Smoochum(not glitch), and I will attempt to breed, if that's impossible I'll evolve them. Anyway, keep ya posted.
