Pokemon General Daily Chit-Chat

[Ayselipera]

My excitement has seemed to left for some reason, but either way I'm still getting one of them! It's just I haven't decided yet which one I want. D:

 

[fenyx4]

are you talking about missingno? it was there?

Yup; our most famous Good Bad Bug was in there (not Chikorita; sorry about that). I'm actually glad they counted it somehow in the quiz. :)

WHY ISN'T IT A REAL/OFFICIAL POKEMON ALREADY GOSHDARN IT?!?! :cer_pissed: Ugh...it has a way better design than dumb ripoff Pokemon like Phione that have to unnecessarily clog our PokeDex listings. :cer_cry: Heck, it even teaches kids a lesson akin to the movies on why they shouldn't necessarily go around bagging every Pokemon you see.

I'm going to try the Generation 3 Quiz later on, and I will smack myself silly if I don't complete it. I've replayed Emerald so many times and that's the Generation that I freaking grew up with that hooked me back into Pokemon.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't see Missingno as an official pokemon rather than it sees it as a glitch. I mean...Missingno doesn't even have a face really...nor a type, nor anything. D:

...To be honest, it could be the ??? type..but I dunno..you'd have to think of some pretty deep concepts when it comes to Missingno. What moves it would learn, the type, stuff like that. :(

 

[Cherrim]

Ah, I love those quizzes. :D I can usually get all of gen 1, most of gen 2, and most of gen 4 by myself. And when my roommate and I do them together, we uuuuusually only miss maybe 10-15 Pokémon overall which isn't too shabby.

Unfortunately, Missingno is not a real Pokémon and never will be. :( As far as I know it's never even been acknowledged in any sort of official documentation.

Faces do not matter when it comes to Pokemon!

Exhibit A: THIS..THING! Furiijio!

But yeah, I always envisioned Missingno. being the first and only ???-type Pokemon, having no natural resistances and weaknesses - everything hits it for normal effectiveness under normal circumstances. It could have a signature offensive ???-typed move...maybe 70-100 Base Power... I actually considered starting a thread on how Missingno. would be constructed if it were implemented in the games as an actual Pokemon. Maybe I might actually put forth the idea. :)

Well, we have this official Nintendo document that dismisses it as a programming quirk... :cer_pissed: Apparently, it caused a minor heated discussion on its Bulbapedia article because some users couldn't agree on whether the article title should have been rendered as Missingno., MissingNo., or MissingNO.. The official article itself by Nintendo gave two different contradictory capitalizations for Missingno.'s name, so that only worsened the whole matter.

If I ever become a Pokemon developer, one of my goals will be to campaign for Missingno.'s inclusion as an actual (possibly Legendary) Pokemon in a future Pokemon game. Seriously...why do we keep on getting non-evolving (and herpderp fishies *coughMaggyocough*) Pokemon that are unsuitable for battle, yet we have that menace of corruption waiting in the wings to unleash nightmarish, devastating attacks upon its foes? T_T

Heck, the developers even bothered to put in textual "Emerald PokeDex information" for the Generation 3 glitch Pokemon Decamark (??????????), when there was really no justification for it (AFAIK). Numbered it and everything:

The ??? type has apparently been removed as of generation five. I agree Missingno or any of its relatives would make an interesting Pokemon, but they've probably already considered the idea more than once in the past.

Also, Arceus has a ???-type sprite.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the removal of the ???-type in BW. -.- And I recall Arceus having a ???-type, but apparently it was only coded so the game didn't crash if players tampered with Arceus's ability and type with cheating devices and such... AFAIK, there was/is no way to obtain a legitimate ???-typed Arceus in normal play, since the plate corresponding to the ???-type doesn't exist. So I guess Missingno. could be the first ???-type Pokemon to appear in actual gameplay, then. Kind of a shame that the developers removed the ???-type, but then again it was hardly used for anything in normal gameplay... :o

 

[SonicTH]

Guys, maybe someone knows where I can download manga "Electric Tale of Pikachu"?

 

[Kenshin5]

We are not allowed to link you too those places, because the places that offer the download are not licensed by the company. Just google it and you find something on it.

 

[WriteThemWrong]

have they released the new generation's shiny forms yet, i'm dying to see confagrigus shiny form

 

[Kenshin5]

I thought the shiny forms have been out since all the Sprites were ripped back in September.

There you go Shiny Cofagrigus.

 

[Silver Soul of Johto]

Has anyone bothered to catch a shiny in the new games yet? I haven't spotted any yet :X

 

[Gunn]

Nope, nor have I seen any; and to be honest, I'm not into Shiny hunting.

But...

If I happen to come across one, I'll definite nab it right away. Just knowing that I have a shiny Pokemon is cool despite what it is. xD

 

[Zeffy]

I don't really care about shinies. They're just disrupted. But I do like collecting them, though. :3

 

[otakulily]

I've never had a shiny Pokemon in my life. I have, however, contracted Pokerus before. Twice.

 

[mishy.]

As far as fifth generation goes I haven't found any shinies. I'm kind of hoping I get one while hatching a million Solosis but that's not likely. XD;

 

[Timbjerr]

So I just got my White version today (had to delay my purchase a couple of weeks for financial problems), and I've been playing nonstop. :D

While I haven't encountered a shiny, I can't help but enjoy this feeling of everything being a new experience to me. I haven't had that experience since R/S came out (I spoiled everything about D/P before they came out XD).

How would you guys describe your experience playing B/W for the first time?

 

[Miss Doronjo]

Weeeeeellllllllllll....

I'm too lazy to write a long paragraph on why B/W is awesome...again, but! FIrs ttime I'v eplayed it, its been a wondrous experience. <3 Especially the bridges and scenery! They are just magnificent! The battle style is pretty detailed, and the pokemon there are amazing; I have not had don't have any pokemon from the fifth gen that I didn't like; they're all just really incredible. <3

 

[Astinus]

It's actually in White that I found my first shiny since Silver. So yes, I caught one. Didn't go out looking for it specifically, but I'm glad that the shiny Pidlove I caught came along.

As for B/W as a whole, I was excited for them since they were announced. When I first played them, it felt like a brand new experience because of what changed, and there were new features, Pokemon, and a world to get used to. It kept my interest for a while (real life got in the way now). I still enjoy what B/W have brought to the franchise, though.

I wonder if there is anything to this? Seemed to me that it is a cast off they forgot to take out, and it didn't make the 5th Gen cut.
