That's with all original "Gameboy" games. If their the gray cartridge, and don't say color, they can all change color.

hey

is there a catchable missing bzw m in gold or yellow without gameshark xploder actionreplay or something else

There is a glitch where you can name yourself ZOWAYIX and whenever you do the Missigno. trick, it will come up in the form of a skeleton Kabutops, skeleton Aerodactyl, or a ghost.

Yes. Do the Mew Trick, but with a gambler on Route 11. Only for the Yellow version.

The first time I ever played my Pokemon Yellow game (this must've been, oh idk, 7 years ago maybe?), when I went into the pokemon center in viridian for the first time, after nurse joy had healed my pokemon and said "Thank you! Your pokemon are fighting fit!" I walked all the way to the door and was on the little blue rectangle doormat thing before she finally said "We hope to see you again!"

That hasn't happened since.

And since WHEN do you think only you got that problem. Also, my other glitch:
Go t Cycling Road WITHOUT a Bike. Go to the top row (under the lady). She'll tell you to stop, but keep going left. You turn back and left again and you passed her! After that, you're on Cycling Road with a Bike that's not YOURS!

this may sound stupid but how do you accually get a mew?
my mates used to have it when they played =(

Did anyone try the first version of Pokemon Red/Green? I heard from a rumour that on Route 1 there was Missingno. everywhere? Is that true?

Spoiler:

Try the Mew trick, the second Mew Trick, the THIRD Mew trick (more complicated though), or the Missingno. glitch when playing R/G/B.

The Mew Trick? Oh, my god. You don't know the Mew Trick? You may want to restart your game, because... well, everything is right here if you don't know the trick.

Correct. I found a Chansey, a Missingno, a Nidoqueen and a Golem, all at lv.7

D: I'm sorry but I don't understand what's going on. How would someone replace the trainer after doing the mew trick?

And one glitch I've noticed is that once in a while the people walking around various towns will walk backwards instead of forwards O______O; It's not often, but happens occasionally.

I dont know if this is a glitch, it happened ages ago.

If I remember rightly, I was in the Poké Center in Celadon on Red Version, meaning most of the surroundings were reddish in colour. I walked out and everythin was now a blueish tinge, the same as the one on my brothers blue version. I went back in Rocket HQ where i was heading, but it stayed blueish. After saving, then resetting, it went back to the red colour.

I was on a Gameboy Colour, and it just wierdly happened. Happened to anyone else, probably has...

I don't know why it would do that. The only way to change the color of the game is to turn on the Gameboy while holding either the A or B button and moving the control pad.

I definitely know i didnt do that, because the game was on. I didnt save, reset or anything, just exited the PokéCenter and all of a sudden, bam. I had the GBC on a battery pack, plugged into the wall, if i remember rightly. When it happened i thought i had broke my game! The naivety.

There might be a minor detail ive missed but unless someone knows WHY it happens, i wouldnt be able to remember, really.

did u guys ever get the "??"ultra balls in the 2nd town of Pokemon silver, ( i cant remember the name) anyways i bought 99 of them it said like $9048582 or something like that, and even tho i didn't have the right amount the balls were bought for $0 it said i spent a load of cash but no money was taken, then when i exited and went into the mart again they were potions

Did you gameshark the game? It must've been a cheating/hacking device.
Especially if it was a rom.

You know how the high hex values in the catch code freeze the game? If you turn the code or gameshark off (or code in an emulator) and turn it back on when in the battle, you can catch that glitch pokemon! (NOTE: It might still freeze at the pokedex.) (you need masterballs for this)
I attached a picture of it. Hope you can see it.

i dont fell like reading this whole thing
but here is the SS ANNE glitch, how to get back on the SS ANNE

once the ss anne has set sail you actually CAN get back on it

1. try to enter the ss anne, the man will tell you it set sail and push you back.
2. move to the right facing the water and press START right away...i mean RIGHT AWAY.
3. now save and then restart your game
4. you will still be facing the water and now surf.
5. you will now be surfing on the man, surf down and now you can get on the ss anne

I'd like some verification on this.

A friend of mine (who I know personally IRL) was in the Safari Zone when he met a Chansey that no matter what he couldn't catch. After using up all his balls (oh, stop it) he was forced to leave, but instead of appearing outside the SZ, he was in what looked like Glitch City, and there was a YES/NO box. He clicked on YES, and then the screen flashed and he was back at his house. When he checked his Pokemon, he had all MissingNos, except for the first one which was a Mew.

Has anyone else had this happen before? I never saw it myself, but I've been going through the same procedures, and I've come across some interesting results, so I don't doubt it's possibility.
