It messed up your Hall of fame, it gave you 128 master ballz, it was a Bird type, it had many weird glitch friends(Including ‘’M’’ Who could replicate itself infinitely) , it was glitched out, and It came in several forms.
THIS ISNT EVEN MY FINAL FORM!
The Missingno species was first discovered by Nintendo in the original title “Pokémon Red Version and Blue Version,” which was published in the May 1999 issue of Nintendo Power. Describing the phenomenon as a “programming quirk,” Nintendo warned the gamers against encountering it, claiming the game may have to be reset completely in order to remove the graphical errors.
Since becoming a well-known trivia among Pokémon gamers in 1999, there has been extensive discussions about encountering MissingNo on purpose, which involves trigger three in-game events to summon the glitch.
And people loved it. They traded it, shared it, learned it. And started wondering…
“Duhhhh…..if Missingno is real… EVERYTHINGBEREALZ!!!
And the internet went mad…… Some of the most famous were the Mew under the truck, where if you used Strength on a hidden truck you could get Mew. It seemed impossible to test, but a glitch let you get there. The truck is real, but there is nothing there.
Another common one was Pikablu, based on a leaked Japanese pokemon, it was the evolution to Pikachu, Stronger then Mewtwo, and became so widespread a card company messed up. Whoops!?!
POKEGODS, BILLZ SECRET GARDEN, NEW POKEMON, ZZZAAAAZZZ.
After the dust begain to settle….. it quickly worsed again as Pokemon Yellow came to America.
