@eth111maker hehehe it's your name dude, your name made a Snorlax, my name made a level 130 Eevee! Oh btw I heard if u name yourself MxMyDzD u will find Mewtwo!
You: "Oh man! Finally done! That only took me 40 years!"
Oak: "Congratulations! I knew you could do it!"
You: "I've finally caught all 151 of the pokemon. My life's work is complete!"
Oak: "Oh that's right! I forgot to mention, we discovered that there are actually around 500 pokemon."
You: "Fuck you, fuck your pokemon, fuck your fucking pokedex, and fuck you for not dying already you fucking pedo prick. Oh yea, your grandson's name isn't 'Ass wipe' either you shit faced ass clown"
@kfrancis888 lol! Great question. I've dedicated a box on Bill's PC to Mews, so I designated one Mew as the "HM Mew." That reminds me... I should really upload my "How to catch a Mew" video that I have lying around :)
@eth111maker LOL! That's pretty awesome :) To get a variety of pokemon using this bug, you need to try different names for your character when you start the game. Check out the missingno. article on bulbapedia to see how various changes to your name can affect the pokemon that you encounter when using this tactic.
@xlbiofxe4 They didn't forgot what Pokemon to put there. Marowak should have involved into Kangaskhan, but they changed it at the last moment. Thus they put the code for the involving into a specific spot, where you can't catch any Pokemon now. Missingno can evolve into Kangaskhan as well :P
Very good explanation on why it works. I myself, as a programmer found this very entertaining to read. Your theory seems to be correct, without a doubt.
(most people don't believe this, thinking its some sort of secret, or conspiracy LOL! It's just a glitch in the coding :P!)
a Pokemon made from data that can only be fixed by walking into an area with grass, but water aint grass and since the corrupt data still hasn't been corrected yet by leaving a city, it creates an error code, making false Pokemon data. and since the error code data corresponds to the same format of the 6 item in ur inventory, depending on the error codes data level it gives u an overkill amount of items in that slot. would that be right in simpler terms?
@Awesomereviewsandmor Kind of! Basically the battle scene just doesn't realize that the Pokemon data is corrupt and tries to load everything like normal. Because of that, the battle scene is looking in the wrong place in the cartridge for Pokemon data. And it just so happens that somewhere within that "wrong place" is your 6th item count. Entering the battle scene causes some changes in the data. A side effect of that is the count of your 6th item changing.
I think I figured out a way to do this on pkmn fr.rd./lf.grn. But it requires use of migrating to a ds game. First, trade pkmn five times between two gba systems. Then, attempt to do this a sixth time, but in the middle of the trade, turn off both gba systems. But be sure to know exactally which pkmn you traded. Then, migrate that pkmn to the ds game, and since every time you migrate or trade on the systems, some of the data is cruptd and when you see it in the ds game, missigno is there instead
Actually.... i have done this glitch many times. and everytime i catch a missingno, it's on level 80. I gave 2 of them a rare candy and they each evolved into Kangaskaun. I've also had one that i gave a rare candy to and it evolved into a Pidgey. They do evolve. I just haven't figured out whether it's through a rare candy or level 81 :) I wonder if moonstones and such will work on it :)
truly missingno. is part of this akward evoulution:cubone=marowalk=missingno.=kakaskan. the reason why missingno. is in cinnabur island is beacause it is the last place unlocked, thinking people would never find it as well as over level 100 pokemon like level 156 mewtwo!p.s the reason why they didn't make the evoulution like this is probaly this part when the mother dies, her child wears her skull and she turns into cubone.the ONLY type m ,or,missing nos. ghost and a pixel type are missingno.
@FadedWerewolf101 Here's the weird par though. Cinnabar Island is not the only place that you can get missingno. from :) Any location in the game where you can fly to and get to water without the game changing screens will produce this glitch. Sadly, from a computer standpoint, it is unrelated to any evolutions or other pokemon.
@rsrdaman Oh but it IS missingno. :) If you look at the screen shots of the Pokedex from missingno. and from 'M, they are both "No. 000". In my book that makes them the same Pokemon. Also, whether it shows up as missingno. or _'M_ is solely dependent on the name you chose at the beginning of the game.
Much like searching through a cave to find Mewtwo, you always can use the same process to find missingno., and though the stats may be different each time, they still have the same pokedex number.
can you explain this when you caught it or if your stupid enough to catch it or experimenting it ruins your game but when i put it in my pc and saved it it became a new pokemon and now safe in battle please explain by the way it was a rock type pokemon but the missingno version was water flying???
It's not so much as the game runs out of memory, it's that the person responsible for coding the Old Man events was lazy. The person implementing the Old Man event codes realized the "start battle" function didn't take a char* name and decided to take the lazy way: write over the name global instead.
Otherwise, a surprisingly accurate description of how the glitch works. Didn't even expect the 6th-item-multiply effect to be explained... or for it to be a bool[] instead of a bitfield.
@FinalSwordX It could be the case! I've never actually played the remakes, but my gut feeling is that since they were games for a newer system, the memory constraints that they had for the first game don't really apply. I'm gonna bet that they now allocate the "OLD MAN" in an extra portion of memory and that they changed the code so that when a player flies, the game validates the wild pokemon data just like when you exit a city

A good understanding of how the pokemon game memory is used you should try Rom hacking, you have to be careful on how you use the memory offsets.
