I never actually played the games. I just know that pokemon is shitty. Who else wanted to kill that pikachu thing every time it made one of those stupid noises?

that game is ooooold. no wonder it doesn't work.

What about those stupid pokemon trading cards. They were banned from most schools over here because people kept stealing from their parents to buy them! They were gay too.

The whole pokemon thing is sad. I mean, little weird creatures with magic abilities being carried around in little balls that battle for no real reason? C'mon. It was sad. Admit it.

Bleh, as childish the games really are, I'm strangely addicted to them. I may or may not have a problem.

Oh c'mon! The pokemon games rule, as gay as pokemon is. Especially the old versions, like red, blue (my favourite) and yellow. I've got an iPod nano with iPod linux, which has a gameboy emulator called iBoy. I've got all of the non-colour pokemon games on there. They pwn and they take up 300 kb

The series suck, but the games still rock ^_^

Goddamn, did nobody get my reference to Missingno, that fabulous Pokemon Red/Blue* glitch that could totally screw your game up in weird ways? I enjoyed messing around with that glitch.

* Possibly others. I'm not that sad

I did. I just skipped through all other posts except for ones that flamed the game and the first one.

I love missingo. Infitnite rare candys Infinite rare nugets
Infinite TM's that teach Fire blast

It's also fun to catch the wheezings and electrodes next to missingo, because they are well over level 100. Once, I tried giving a bunch of rare candies to each of them, and around reaching level 300 they went right back to zero

Oh yeah, and missingo never erased my save file. Although, my games freeze when you put him in the PC and try to take him out You have to release him.

Also, remember, training your pokemon to level 100 makes them more powerful then level 100 pokemons who got their by rare candys

i wonder what they put in that "rare candy".....

yes I unfortunatly I get the missing.no thing as well. btw im pretty sure you could get all kinds of pokemon...like even some of the other trainers could be your pokemon depending on what your name was to begin with...

btw the exact same thing happened with my pokemon crystal...it was broken, hey does your pokemon red rattle when you shake it?

wheres NEsgirl btw? she was more interesting than half the ppl here and I thought she'd be All over this topic?

nesgirl isn't at the forums anymore

and yeah I still have my pokemon yellow here.. as soon as I find some batteries I'll try the missingo thing and the GLITCH CITY

although GLITCH CITY sucks on pokemon yellow

Yeah I liked Missingno. Later I read all about it and why it happens. Interesting stuff to me, but maybe nobody else. It's great how you might be coding something and unwittingly creating these totally obscure bugs you just don't expect.

It happens because when you talked to the old guy and he showed you how to catch a Pokémon, it was basically showing you capturing a pokemon but changed the trainer's name to "OLD GUY" or whatever.

OK, but to do that, it had to store your name somewhere else (as OLD GUY was overwriting that space for a while). So they figured they'd put your name in the variable where it knows what "random encounter" monsters you're going to get, being as they were no random encounters in Veridian City (or whatever it was called) and when you left that map the random encounter variable would be set correctly again.

HOW - EVA, when you then fly to Cinnibar Island, it doesn't overwrite the random encounter data. It says "just use whatever was there from the previous map". And since the data is utter crap (i.e. your name), you would end up with random monsters appearing depending on your name and also making the game pick monsters that didn't exist, hence "MISSINGNO" (missing number) and garbled crap.

It didn't overwrite your save cartridge or anything though. But I know it did do freaky things sometimes - I used a Gameboy Link thing and battled someone with my Missingno. It turned into a Charbok, was killed, except the dying animation played over and over and over in an infinite loop. Yeah. Weird. Did you enjoy reading why it happened? I KNOW I DID. HA HA HOPE IT WASN'T JUST ME.

Pokemon card were the only mafia we had in middle school. They were against the rules so we would steal the back packs from 3rd graders and take their pokemon binders then give them their backpacks back, then sell the pokemon cards at school. All the kids would get their cards con fiscated if a teacher saw them with it, and eventually the card shop went out of business, so business was good.

Never knew how to play, though.

Probably hemorrhoids and some acid or something.

I liked reading that. I remember fucking around with glitches in Pokémon. ^_^

I am 16 and i still play pokemon red and yellow. The only reason i play it to try glitches. I went beyond the original missingno and "m" glitch. I found a glitch to get any pokemon at lvl 6 u want including mew and a weird glitchy pokemon (i beleive its called "h" its been awhile sense i fought it though) that can transform your pokemon into high level bulbasours(this is a rely screwed up pokemon and it literally changes ur pokemon to bulbasours) it acts like a trainer, it has a health bar that is so long it takes up half of the battle screen even though it doesent have that much health, sometimes when u hit it its health never stops lowering, and after u fight it it clones ur character and ur clones walk around . anyways it a really cool glitch even cooler then missingno except that u cant catch it and it usually freezes as soon as u get into battle with it.
