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...

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

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

Professor Cactus December 29th, 2010 1:47 PM

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.

Morgnarok December 29th, 2010 2:01 PM

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.

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 December 30th, 2010 9:33 AM

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 December 30th, 2010 11:01 AM

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.

JakeyBoy December 31st, 2010 11:00 AM

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 December 31st, 2010 12:17 PM

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 December 31st, 2010 12:59 PM

Ok, I get it now. Gotcha.

mew_nani December 31st, 2010 3:36 PM

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.

Professor Cactus January 1st, 2011 1:41 AM

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.

JakeyBoy January 1st, 2011 1:14 PM

I think I saw that. He did something to do with the doors, right? Gonna go watch it again.
Yep, ok, that's what I was thinking of. If this was in the English versions I'd be known better, it's pretty interesting.

draco256 January 1st, 2011 6:23 PM

the mew glitch really exist?!

The 100 Mega Shock January 1st, 2011 7:58 PM

uh yes, yes it does.

mew_nani January 2nd, 2011 6:59 PM

I haven't tried the Mew Glitch, but I have caught Mew with the Ditto Glitch, an extention of thed Mew Glitch. If memory serves me right you can do it like this:

1. Find a trainer you haven't battled yet that will walk to you.
2. Go up until you are 1 step beyond the point where he/she sees you. Basically that translates to stand at the point where, if you are at the corner of the route left of Fushia City (I forgot the route number...) you have to be at the point where if you go one step down, the trainer will be directly below you at the bottom of the screen. At this point, you might want to save if you are not good at the following step:
3. Go down one step. At the same time press the START button. That way you will be standing in front of the trainer you are using with the menu up. Go to the pokemon screen and use your Flying and or Digging Pokemon (if you're in a dungeon, like Mt. Moon.) and fly\dig away. (an Escape Rope works fine in dungeons too.) If you did it right an exclamation point will pop up before you fly away.
4. find a trainer you can battle. Make sure said trainer has to walk to you, or the game will freeze. At this point the menu won't pop up if you press START. Battle this trainer.
5. Find a wild ditto. Make sure the ditto uses Transform on the Pokemon who's Special Stat you are using as the modifier, then run. (if you want Mew, have a Pokemon with a Special Stat of 21.)
6. Walk back to the trainer you flew away from at step 1. Make sure you don't run into any wild Pokemon. When you get there, the menu will pop up suddenly. Exit the menu, and a wild battle will start. If you used a Special Stat of 21, Mew will appear.

That was a sucky tutorial... look on Youtube for more details... -.-

PatJamma January 7th, 2011 8:21 PM

you all are boring! posting almost the same glitch over and over I'ma post something new!
In Crystal version (yes Crystal not r/b/g/y or even g/s) after my battery in my gba died during a trade (sometime at one of the important parts) I walked outside the pokemon center and walked in the grass and found some form of MissingNo. This MissingNo. was poisoned (or was it paralyzed?), had the cry of Espeon (Or maybe it was in part of it's name, I don't remember it was 7 or more years ago) , and when I did selected anything it said "waiting for your friend" message as if it was a link battle. It was later solved by trading pokemon. Weirdest glitch ever.

mew_nani January 7th, 2011 9:43 PM

Sorry... I (And possibly everyone else) was positing some of them for those that didn't know how to do them...
Neat glitch, though! What did it look like?

PatJamma January 7th, 2011 11:47 PM

hmm if memory serves me right it was a black and white box with a bunch of jumbled text (no building pieces like most MissingNo. if I remember correctly) making up its body and had a huge health bar, long jumbled name, and I believe it was level 100 (or even higher) even though I was north of Cherrygrove City

mew_nani January 8th, 2011 12:15 PM

Hmm.... Big white/black box... jumbled text... Level 100, poisoned... huge health bar... do you remember what the name was? Most glitch Pokemon in Crystal, Gold, or Silver versions have question marks in the name (Five question marks, mostly, like ?????.) with the exception of Egg, which is... well... an egg. (Before I should continue... there are five known glitch Pokemon in G/S/C, four of which are placeholders, and one used for Eggs. The placeholders are known as ?????.)
If it has that name, did you look in the menu during or before you battled it?
????? borrows other graphical tiles form the game to make up it's battle sprite, so it will change from a garbled up building to a garbled up version of the item menu if you look at it during the battle. (I'm not sure if that works if you look at the items menu just before the battle...)
If it doesn't have ????? in the name... I have no idea what the heck it might be. You might have stumbled across something totally new here!
