Unique Missingno. cries (Generation I)

[beatlesfan73]

1 sounds like an beta cry of Celfable.

2 sounds like Zubat.

3. Sounds like a beta cry of Raticate.

4 sounds like a Ditto cry.

More than likely these were beta crys.

@beatlesfan73 You could interpret them as a lot of things, because there are only 38 base cries, which means often the only thing different about a Pokémon cry is the length and pitch. This is along the lines why if you send out a Metapod on low HP, it will sound a lot like Gastly because both Metapod and Gastly share the same base cry (0x1C).

This is also why some glitch Pokémon have cries which sound real, though these nine are the only ones hard-coded in the ROM in a list of Pokémon cries.

@beatlesfan73 You could probably speculate that cry No.137 belongs to the prototype Dragonair sprite once posted on Game Freak's blog (I relatively recently added it to the prototype Pokémon and characters page on Bulbapedia), but that's just a guess because little to nothing is known about the actual Generation I beta Pokémon apart from pre-alpha Caspule Monsters sketches. While 190 Pokémon were programmed, a Pokémon 2 Staff interview said there were over 200 Pokémon designed for Generation I.

@beatlesfan73 I plan on getting the books "Satoshi Tajiri: The Man who Created Pokémon" and the book about "TV Game Design" if they come up on eBay, to see if there are any more Capsule Monsters sketches/early screenshots because many pages from those books remain unscanned. There is one page from TV Game Design with a beta Pokémon Red and Green screenshot using a prototype Super Game Boy border. I might request a Japanese seller to put one up if they can get hold of them.

I like these cries.

The only Missingo that has really been identified was the male evolution of marrowack (female would have become kangaskan), but i think a few are missing fossil pokemon.

I come thinking "COOL!" then Lavender Town comes on. "oh god.... Oh God... OH GOD!!!!!!!" *dies*

1:28 sounds exactly like Crobat

[Flashlight237]

@SlickNickps3 Maybe Crobat was formerly meant for pokemon Red and Green.

did you have to be in lavender town :(

[IAm9Tales]

Whoa, for first time I felt dizzy when listening to lavender town music :O

[WooperChannel]

Is the firts cry (cry numer 67) a Togepi cry?

[MrChaoticpower]

@WooperChannel i think it is

[Kerssy94]

Love the Crobat cry, I remember hearing it through glitching Red version, and when I heard it in Gold, I was like "I know this cry from somewhere". I know that they are not the same cries, but similar.

[ProSuperSmash1]

Crobat was originally intended to be a 1st gen Pokemon?

[Valientlink]

I've heard alot of this simply from the league data being glitched.

[ChickasaurusGL]

@Valientlink The Hall of Fame only plays existing cries. It can give you glitchy cries (associated with index numbers of glitch Pokémon) and sometimes play only one music channel/glitch the channels up making it sound like "glitch music" because some glitch Pokémon do that, but these nine cries are valid.

These can also appear in the Hall of Fame if you're lucky.

interesting, im glad to see people are still researching pokemon gen1

[Gligar13Vids]

@H3ArTLeSsJeRk Oh yeah, Gen I is awesome for hacking, it never gets old. I plan on cross region trading when I get a US Gen I cart.

[H3ArTLeSsJeRk]

@Gligar13Vids you don't have one? trade you my american red (perfect condition) for your japanese

[Gligar13Vids]

@H3ArTLeSsJeRk Nah, I'm going to get one as soon as the used game store gets one in, or when I hit the mall stores (which have EVERYTHING!)
