Cheating and hacking in Pokemon Red was what got me into the IT field today and why I work in cybersecurity. The thrill of that kinda catapulted my passion and motivation towards the future as tech matured and grew. The only one I specifically remember is the MissingNo going up and down the shore line glitch / item duplication. I remember a friend taught me on the bus ride to summer camp during one summer when I was like 9yrs old lol. Loved the vid, some of the glitches were eh, but yea the top ones were awesome.
Honestly the same stuff amazed me as a kid and still amazed me as an adult today obviously since I’m watching this video. I want to get into coding and programming etc and replaying my old Pokémon games recents is a huge part of that. Do you think you could take a minute to explain a little bit more about how you got into the fields you are in today and how a fellow Pokémon glitch-inspired fan might get into something similar?
@Netloc AD I mean... untill you realized Rare candies actually reset the hidden stat bonus like boxing a pokemon (didnt have a name for EV's back then) and your buddy kills your lvl 100 Nidoking with a level 70 Gengar raised from Lvl 14.
@____ I think only like 4 people in my school had em (me included) so people would trade through us. But we also knew raised pokemon got better stats because some dude in game tells you this...
5:25 An easy way to explain and understand this is by a mechanical odometer. If you roll back from 000000, you get to 999999, because there are no negative numbers on the odometer. It's the same with XP. XP is supposed to be a positive number only. When the formula gives out a negative number, the game interprets it as a very large positive number.
How the Brock Through Walls glitch works, is that when you talk to that trainer, the game searches for your coordinates to see what path you have to take. But as you're not supposed to be able to talk to him from the right, your coordinates won't be where the game was expecting the coordinates to be, so it will just keep looking. Normally, it keeps looking forever which is why it soft locks. But if you have moves with the right PP, the PP values will actually be the coordinates the game is looking for, so the data after that will be interpreted as a path you're supposed to follow. But its a glitched path that happens to let you walk through walls.
I was waiting for you to mention the Mew glitch, and ofc it comes last lol. I was actually so lucky because I thought I had beaten every trainer but it turned out the one trainer I needed to fight in order to capture Mew was still uncontested. My excitement when I went and actually fought the trainer, then followed the steps exactly to where i needed to go to start fighting Mew, and the battle screen started.... Oh my god that feeling was so good.
As long as you have a long-range trainer, you can do the glitch as often as you like. Just have a Pokemon with a special stat of 21. Initiate the trainer-fly glitch, fight any trainer (can use Elite 4 if all other trainers are defeated. Must use PC to save by changing boxes and restart so you can talk to the E4 trainers). Then find a Ditto and have it transform into your Pokemon with a special stat of 21. You can abuse level underflow if you want by using 6 Growls on the transformed Pokemon before defeating it or running and get the level 1 Mew upon returning to the long range trainer’s route. If you do the level 1 Mew encounter, be sure you have space in your party. If it’s sent to your box, you can never withdraw it while it’s level 1.
If you've defeated that certain trainer you could always use the ditto glitch to get Mew, or the 8F/wsm glitch to get as many Mew's as you want. You can even use a different variant of the 8F/wsm glitch to change Mew's ID to GF 22796 so you can transfer it to Pokémon Bank, the same glitch can also make it shiny. I currently have a shiny Mew in Shield using said glitch.
@@HellHathNoFuryAtAll8 you cant use elite 4 members for trainer fly... the trainer has to walk up to you and initiate the text box in order for the glitch to work and the game not to crash
There is a glitch in which you don't have to set something up. Basically, if you go to any gym and try to fish or surf on the statues inside of any gym. It will just let you do that for no reason at all.
Wow! I always hate hearing about the exact same glitches over and over whenever I want to learn something new, and I was hoping that you wouldn't have the Missingno glitch here, but even though you did, I was stunned to know about those other glitches, and even how they worked, and it was really enjoyable to watch:) thank you for uploading this video😊
I actually use the invisible PC at the Celadon City hotel all the time. I never liked the Poké Center music, but I love the Celadon City music, so I use the hotel PC so I can listen to the music I like.
This was a really good vid. Refreshing to see some glitches I haven't seen before, in addition to in depth explanations on glitches I've already been using. Keep up the good work.
wow. as someone who had for sure seen them all, I never even heard of item underflow! all the others I've seen countless times but that one was new to me. Nice video! It's crazy that theres so many glitches you couldn't even list them all (i.e. save corruption to beat the game in 1 minute)
The reason why the SS Anne's still there is because it's a fundamental part of the Vermilion Dock map, and they likely didn't include a version without the ship (because it'd be pointless and take up valuable memory). As a result, should you manage to re-enter the map despite the invisible flag wall, the boat will always be there. Also, my favourite glitch? Transform + Mirror Move - should you use Mirror Move while Transformed, you'll be stuck with a blank move that DOES have PP, but cannot be depleted, thereby preventing Ditto (or Mew) from using Struggle. There's also no way to fix it, apart from Transforming into a Mirror Move Pokémon and hoping Mirror Move occupies the exact same glitched slot, then using all of its PP.
The reason the experience/item underflow works that way is because the game uses some sort of circular indexing system like a circular queue that when it reaches the very end it wraps back to the first, so in theory if you want over the max amount of xp or items it could drop you back to one, that's why the xp is so high, so that normally a trainer could never get that much xp. So therefore if you go backwards in the queue it's going to bring you to the end of it.
Close, but not quite it either. Numbers stored in memory were unsigned - more on that later, when I explain negative numbers - back in the GB and NES era, and was often the case in the SNES era too (though some cases did differ, but I digress). Numbers are stored with only a certain number of bits, and for the experience counter, this number is a 24-bit (or 3-byte) counter. When you have a level 1 Pokémon in Gen 1, it has 0 XP (In raw binary, 00000000 00000000 00000000). Thanks to it gaining negative XP, the XP is "added" like normal, and when the subtraction is performed, it assumes that the operation is valid, and the result is that it trudges on as if it had 16, 777,217 XP (That's [00000001] 00000000 00000000 00000000). The result is an underflow, as it applies the bitwise operation, and arrives at the over-16-million number that results in instant level 100(the details change mildly, because it's like 0+(-63 + whatever normal XP you get from the battle) but that's a nit-pick). The safeguard would be to have a signed integer, where you only use all but 1 bit of the number's normal space for counting, and one bit to denote if a value is negative, or positive. This is me using as close to layman's terms as I can while still being accurate to what's going on.
There are alot of really powerful glitches like the basic item dupe glitch and Data mod glitches like item underflow and ACE with things like super glitch and 8F, but the most interesting Imo is Pokemon merging. I guess you could do it with 8F, but back in the day it was always so fun to make hybrids of my favourite mons, especially if one of them was a glitch mon with a cool color pallet/ beast stats.
Actually, it may be due to the fact that its name is Missingno. Or Missing No. Which is missing number. Which is what Missingno. Doesnt have, a number in the code. Which is why it behaves as it does and everything is so bizzar
@@shinyatom3970 you're an idiot. I gave a more logical explanation to it (and I clearly state that it's just a thought, not actual fact) you assume I'm dumb. You poor thing
I remember the invisible PC thing being highlighted in an issue of Nintendo Power, but when Nintendo was asked about the Missingno glitch it was vehemently denied lol
The exp glitch was the reason why pokémon were always born at level 5 up until Gen IV, since the glitch was seemingly brought over to Gold, Silver and Crystal given the re-used code, and Game Freak allegedly couldn't test if the same glitch would repeat in Gen III games despite being built upon entirely new code, so they just "skipped" a generation to implement the change.
The experience one is because negative numbers in binary are encoded using the Two's Complement. Basically, you use the left-most bit as the pos/neg sign and then the rest of the bits represent the number. For example, when dealing with signed numbers, (signed) 010 = +2 110 = -2 (unsigned) 010 = 2 110 = 6 However, since the developers never intended for there to be negative experience, the binary representing the experience gained from a battle is likely read by the game as an unsigned number and since the left-most bit is 1, that makes the unsigned equivalent a really large integer.
The Mew one is the best one cuz you can get it early and as soon as it gets up to about level 20 it's super strong it learns mega Punch and then literally almost knocks anything out!
Here's a bit more of an in-depth explanation of integer underflow: Gen 1 pokemon games store experience values as *unsigned integers*. In my example, I'm going to simplify it by assuming that we're working with 4 bits. A 4 bit unsigned integer can store 16 different values(base 2^4 digits), from 0 to 15, which is equal to the numbers 0000 to 1111 in binary/base 2. If we were working with *signed integers*, it would be from -7 to 7, using the 8 bit to instead mark whether the number is positive or negative. In the case of tracking experience, negative numbers are unnecessary, so an unsigned integer is used. So, what happens if we try to create a negative number when working with an unsigned integer? Obviously we won't get one because it's impossible, so what happens instead? The numbers simply loop back around, hence "underflow" or "overflow" if going the other way. 0000 -0001 =1111 In this example, I simply subtracted 1 from 0. Instead of getting -1, we get 15. You might be looking at the equation and wondering why this works. The simple answer is that to the computer, 0000 to 1111 are the only values that exist for this number. Taking variable names from C's limits.h, let's call 0 UINT_MIN and 15 UINT_MAX. UINT_MIN-1 is equal to UINT_MAX, as shown above. The reverse is also true, as UINT_MAX+1 will resolve to UINT_MIN, which is why adding 1 to an 8-bit unsigned integer equal to 255 (11111111) will give you 0 instead of 256. Some processors clamp values and prevent over/underflow by simply making adding anything to UINT_MAX resolve to UINT_MAX. A perfect example of an unsigned 8-bit integer overflow is Styder7x's "Cracking a Frozen Lake 258 Times is Perfectly Acceptable". Signed integers are usually handled differently. Their behavior when doing calculations that would exceed INT_MAX or go below INT_MIN are very dependent on the language in use. Ada raises a Constraint_Error, Java will have normal overflow behavior going from INT_MAX to INT_MIN, and Python 2 converts the number to a long. I hope that helped some people who may have been a little confused about how experience/integer underflow works! This isn't anywhere near an exhaustive explanation since over/underflow is a result of many properties of computing and involves a lot of different environmental conditions; I'm just trying to clarify why it happens. Feel free to ask questions or point out anything I missed.
The Missingno. Glitch may have been fixed in Yellow, but you can still use the ditto glitch to encounter it, they show up as skeleton versions of Kabutops and Aerodactyl and still serve the same purpose.
2 of these I haven't ever heard of before. Brick through walls (#3), and item underflow (#2). Honorable mention I did hear about the safari glitch before but completely forgot about it (currently playing through red for several reasons for pokemon sword and red is fun also.) So that is gonna make safari pokemon easier to catch XD
It's kinda wholesome that at this point in his Pokemon TH-cam Career, he doesn't know the BADGE BOOST GLITCH, cause otherwise I'd see him throw it in the top 5
you forgot the exploding bulbasaur glitch in which idk how to do it but the outcome is all your pokemon in the party are replaced with 6 bulbasaurs that only know explosion as 3 of their moves with one other unspecified move that results in using explosion either way (this glitch is actually called the ZZAZZ glitch because the trainer is given the name ZZAZZ* to replace the previous trainer name) *I only put ZZAZZ because it is the short version of the actual name given to the trainer upon this glitch succeeding
I always used the "missingno glitch" to capture a kangaskhan that can learn fly. If you encounter the glitch pokemon that is just "m," you can catch it. You have to have an empty space on your team or the game will crash when you try to withdraw it. It will have the moves water gun x2 and sky attack. You can teach it to fly. After teaching it to fly, give it a rare candy, and watch it evolve into kangaskhan. After evolving it, you can then teach it surf, strength, and cut to be your HM slave. I always try to get the level 0 version of the "m" pokemon, so that way my Kangaskhan will be level 1. Hope this helps.
Back in the day when R/B were new the Old Man/ Safari zone/ Missingno / Item dupe glitches were common knowledge and often used. That's why they were patched in yellow. The other glitches came later afaik. I was even part of a group who was brute force testing every possible name to see if it was possible to get Mew on cinnibar. We eventually concluded that it wasn't. Trainer fly glitch came later and handed out mews like candy. I don't know how much later, but I played R / B at release and only heard of trainer fly a few years ago
Ohh! So I played Pokemon yellow way back in the day and my Pikachu evolved at level 17 and I never knew why. It must have been that wrong index glitch. That's cool to know
*This is just friendly advice, please do not be offended* You really need to start saying your name at the start of your videos, "Hey everyone, how's it going, it's JRose11" would be enough, don't change the greeting just add your name to it, branding is important, it lets the people know whose video it is, and most importantly who YOU are, I know it seems like people would know(They clicked the video right?), but if your videos are are popping up in suggested, like how I found them, most are clicking because of the thumbnail, It's also important if people start hosting your videos on other sites, because the embedded youtube player most websites use doesn't give a channel name at all, I enjoy your videos and I hope this might help you get your name out there a bit, so others can enjoy them too, I hope in a couple years time I'm one of those guys bragging about being here when you were under 10k subs, when you're celebrating a million, all the best either way, keep up the good work
@@Jrose11 He's jealous of you because he is a zero value person who tries to make your videos not look great!! Jeez..What a stupid person... Well-done Jrose11 !! Keep up the good work!!
Fun fact, when doing item replication you can just replace the 6th item in your bag with another and battle another pokemon instead of flying back to the old man and doing the glitch all over again..... which I did as a kid each and every time I needed lots of items I never thought to just replace the damn item while still in the water 🤣🤣🤣
i've was familiar with the cinnabar island glitch, dragging pokes from the safari zone to catch most of them, but i didn't knew you could catch them all with the trainer fly... I've managed to catch gengar, lapras & machoke but at young age i wasn't that much patient
I remember like figuring out which missingno would screw up your game if you caught them and generally learning the characters of the different missingno. The pokes from the last route You visited before talking to the dude would be on missingnos ledge
Man, I never knew about that Evolutiin stone glitch. That's just cool. Brock Through Walls is new to me too. There's another beach with no code like Cinnabar's. It't one of tge areas in Seafoam Isles. I can't remember which isle, but I'm pretty sure it's on the East, like Cinnabar's.
I've said this 6 million times today (probably already commented on one of your videos... Whoops), but I had my Zubat use Supersonic, and then Bide. The enemy Pokémon damages itself or attacks you. The damage it does to itself adds to your bide, but you get no damage. It was pretty interesting. I thought it had something to do with the wild pokemon (ex. Zubat vs Zubat), but it works with two separate species, or at least with Zubat against something else
@Sir We Are About to Die i don't remember what level it learns it at. The funny thing is the move combination makes such a weak Pokémon so much stronger
This video made me realize that I accidentally glitch evolved my Pikachu on my first playthrough of Pokemon Red. I didn't even know you needed a thunder stone to properly evolve it.
I don’t recall stumbling upon any glitches on my own in gen 1. (I have exploited many after being told about them). I did, however, stumble upon the gen 4 Rage glitch without knowing about it and wondered how in the world my Ditto knew Rage, Defense Curl and Rollout after it had transformed into my Dunsparce and got caught several turns later. After trying and failing to replicate it, I looked it up, and I found out you have to exhaust the 5 PP from Rage while transformed in order for the moveset to be permanently copied. Fun side note: I used this to have something use Transform into something with Fly and Rage (and other moves), had Mr. Mime Copycat it to transform into it, used all Rage, and ended the battle with a Mr. Mime that can fly. I found it pretty funny.
@@HellHathNoFuryAtAll8 I stumbled upon the glitch people usually use to catch mew as a child. More out of panic due to being poisoned and realising I won't walk there - I walked in front of the trainer, paused, taught something dig, then escaped the fight to get to a pokemon center. 1hp, so still couldn't make it, so I used a rare candy to revive my starter, and just carried on with the game. Battled... I think a gambler? Then entered the grass to avoid another trainer and found a wild... Kabutops I think. As a child I tried convincing others you could catch one next to lavender town
MelodicTurtleMetal Probably just some haziness to the memory, but the glitch disables the start menu once you have dug away, so perhaps the rare candy was used prior to digging? Also, the encounter starts as soon as you re-enter the route, not when you enter the grass. Still, it’s cool that you stumbled upon it. It’s always crazy to have something so unexpected happen when you weren’t aware of the glitch.
@@HellHathNoFuryAtAll8 I'm confident in not remembering it correctly. I do recall seeing the npc react to me when I flew away, which was amusing to me, and I remember poison being the reason I chose to try to avoid the trainer... But you're correct, I was trying to replicate the result last night and the menu doesn't open after teleporting, so the gambler must not have been involved. I loved finding oddities in games. It's strange how few I feel I stumbled across in pokemon gen 1 as a kid, considering how broken it seems to be.
Did you watch the glitch showcase they did for gen 1 at one of the GDQ events? A guy actually basically glitched the game up in such a way that strength was usable on the truck, it did push it, and then Mew is encountered. As far as I know that was dont just by crazy memory manipulation and not any kind of mod - crazy!
Let me know if you can't see the link for some reason. The video title is: Pokemon Glitch Exhibition by Shenanagans in 25:00 - Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - Part 130 starts at 23:55
It was edited by in-game actions (arbitrary code execution) beforehand, it is entirely possible to do without hacking the game or modding it with an outside source, and to do on console. :P And yeah, it was awesome! Easily one of the more impressive arbitrary code executions I've seen.
For the S.S. Anne glitch, you actually have to press right while next to the water and then Start immediately afterwards, save, and then reset. If you don't do this, your character will end up facing downwards instead, and the glitch wouldn't work.
5:26 essentially what happens it it treats it like it subtracting 54 from 0 how ever its a counter so when it reaches the lowest programmed number it will reset to the highest number (look up the civ gandi glitch for a better explanation)
Okay, so I had a glitch happen to me on my first time playing Pokemon Blue, I don't really know how it happened but I'll try to explain (I took a picture with my 3ds). So I was fighting a Level 40 Muk with my Level 37 Snorlax in the Cinnabar Island building, my Snorlax was poisoned and had 70 health left, and Muk had used Minimize TWICE! I went to see if any of my Pokemon knew Swift and I remembered that my Mew did, I went to Mew and saw that he DIDN'T know Swift...I went back to the battle without switching Pokemon and what happened was, Snorlax was now Minimized and Muk was Mew but Mew was cut in fourth's and placed randomly where Muk was supposed to be. Muk was now Level 37 and Snorlax was now Level 40. It still said that the Pokemon was Muk and I was very confused. Please tell me what this Glitch is called, I need to know.
Oh yeah that happens because enemy Pokémon sprite data is replaced when checking Pokémon stats in battle with whoever you checked. It goes back to the normal enemy usually but because minimise is a different sprite (and should stay they same) it never bothers to check and revert back to the minimised sprite
Most, if not, all glitches are found by complete accident and then shared with other people. Explaining or discovering how and why these glitches work is another thing altogether
Using Trainer-Fly to get a pokémon that can trigger the Experience Underflow glitch is actually tremendously useful on the Virtual Console versions. Level 100 on the Medium-Slow experience group (which triggers the underflow) yields a Timid nature when transferred to Poké Bank. And a lot of special attackers (the Nidos, Gengar, Alakazam, Mew...) happen to be in that group, they get another benefit.
So I have a really funny glitch story. So I caught I believe it's called Female Symbol not sure but it has the Cool trainer moveset. And while battling wild Pokémon. It kept pulling random Pokémon from my pc. I had a jigglypuff named ballsack and a parasect named derp. And it came out to be ballderp. It was great. I'll put it up on my twitter if you guys want
I knew about the guy who taught you how to catch Pokémon but that led to me accidently finding out about pokemon from the safari zone being there on Cinnabar with the right set up.
So you're actually partially right about the meowth girl, you don't need to do what you did, I've been testing this out with only trainer fly glitches, but all you need to do is battle her and it works. I was mostly using other places.
The brock thru walls glitch is made with how the game gets data for the paths. The moves and the moves pp that bulbasaur has indicates the player coordinates you have when you perform this glitch, and the rest of the moves indicate a path that lets you walk thru walls. Also while youre following a path and your controls are locked, you can go through walls so thats sorta how it works.
5:26 The reason it does that is because computers don't actually have a value for the - character to put in front of the negative number, only 0 and 1, therefore if a number can be negative it is limited to 1 lower characters with a 1 in the unused spot signifiing the "negativeness". When adding and subtracting the computer still uses the same logic, no matter which type of number you use, so when you have +0 and subtract 1 it reads as -0, which cannot exist, and therefore it will assume the number was to high and set it to the maximum value. Tl;Dr: Because negative numbers aren't programmed in -1 will be the highest positive number, -2 the second highest etc. this is just the in depth explanation, in case anyone wanted it.
My friend is a Pokemon fanatic (played every game with a full pokedex + 25 shinies) and she was confused when I brought up MissingNo. I showed her this vid and her mind was BLOWN. She even encountered MissingNo with the help of this vid.
Fun fact Jrose Nintendo Power was actually right when they said catching Missingno would crash your game. They just didn’t say it wouldn’t happen every time. Actually had my save data corrupt after catching one on my Red version when I was a kid. Friend of mine had his corrupt on Blue a few days after as well.
This brings back so many memories I remember being In class playing this teacher took it away parents had to come get it ..I felt life was over in real time
Every time I try to remember how me and seemingly everyone other kid on the planet knew about the Missingno/item duplication glitch, I have no recollection of how it came to be. This was not only when we were like 5 years old, but also at a time when the internet was not necessarily a commonplace thing in the household. So I come to wonder how word of mouth started with the glitch that it became so well-known among the general population of kindergarten and early elementary school kids! It's interesting in that it's not like the other glitches meaning you could theoretically come across it by accident, but I feel like someone would have had to tell me to specifically talk to the old man and then surf the coast of Cinnabar.
I remember when I used the missingno glitch, there were encounters with trainers having 255 level pokemon. And it only happen with one specific Pokemon red cassette
6:07 Its not a lie. Different Names create different endresults with one missigno being more dangerous to your game than another. Its not surprising that the right combination of letters could break the game completly, given what happens to sprites and the hall of fame once you dared to do the glitch.
I remember finding a pokemon dupe glitch with my brother that involves trading and unplugging the link cable, but that ended up deleting one of our pokemons in the end 😅
5:24 can be likened to a mileage meter being at 999999 and you add 1 and it flips over to 000000, but in this case, you remove 1 from 000000 instead. Also, it's called integer overflow regardless of whether the number is too large or too small.
I remember my first glitch in Pokemon Blue, I was actually in a car and then I finally got to that precious spot on Cinnabar Island where your name data is stored on the side, I swam on the side of the island and found that precious precious Missingno I love Pokemon Red and Blue glitches!
setovegeta Your memory must be incorrect. Only the right side of Cinnabar island is incorrectly programmed as grass tiles. The reason you get encounters either related to your name or Safari Zone in the examples mentioned is that there are no grass encounters in Cinnabar’s encounter table, so the game looks for the most recent info in the grass encounter tables. Viridian and Fuschia both have no grass encounters, so after finishing the Old Man tutorial or leaving the Safari Zone, your name or the Safari Zone area you were last in (yes, the area within the Safari Zone matters regarding what you find) respectively will be the data it finds, but only if you go directly to Cinnabar without entering any routes that have grass encounters.
Actually, I’m wrong about your memory. You can do it on that coast. I never realized that, but it makes sense they would use the same type of tile there, and there are no grass encounters on the routes with Seafoam Islands, so I should have known. Sorry for my mistake.
I absolutely love all the glitches in red and blue, I consider myself the god of glitches cause I’m willing to risk a game just to do one, and I’m great at handling them. My favorite glitch Pokémon is missingno just cause it’s awesome to have a Pokémon that was not meant to be
Holy crap. I think I accidentally hit on the Evolutionary Glitch as a kid. I remember beating Gary in the Lavender Tower fight and then my Pikachu immediately trying to evolve into something. I was freaked out but also super curious as to what it'd become. Unfortunately, I wasn't really ready for that Pikachu to evolve, so I canceled the evolution and it's been bugging me ever since as to what he'd evolve into. Guess it was Raichu all along. Huh.
Nice video. Some of these were patched in Europe, even in VC re-release of RBY, especially in the French, Italian and Spanish versions if I am not mistaken. Missigno also destroyed my VC save two times, just by crashing the game at encounter when not a fossil or a ghost. Maybe because of the patch. Or maybe because of my trainer name...not sure. I tried Brock Thorough Walls, but it was patched too. :( Trainer fly works just fine.
There was a glitch in this game that if you were on half water and half land, a special battle would start and you would release a pokemon that look weird and caused some weird stuff to happen in the game. However, there is a fail using this in Stealing the Diamond that would after the weird stuff happened, It would pretend your Windows 1.0-3.0 device crashed.
I love how the Nintendo power article to never catch missingno but then told us the exact steps to do it. Really didn't understand that when kids are told to never do something they always want to do it
Brock through walls happens because the specific moves and PP for the moves writes code for the game and it tells you where it's taking you, the reason it softlocks if you do it wrong is because it doesn't know where your supposed to be going if you talk to the guy from the right, I think that's how it works anyway.
My favorite glitch as a kid is getting the baseball bat item and if you hit an NPC that is also a pokemon trainer you will get their pokemon game, the version is generated randomly using an RNG (Random number generator)
Why teach it fly? ... Actually sounds a little familiar, did I do that? I remember my missingno evolving into a level 142 electrode (which I leveled up to 255 to battle friends) or a level 80:ish Kangaskan. I wonder if the evolution depended on your name.. though I usually called the character Ash I think
In case someone asks, yes, all of these glitches are usable in the virtual console releases of the games. Its pretty cool. I use the Mew glitch and the Missingno/dublicate items glitch to get easy competitive Pokemon in Gen 7, cause believe it or not, Pokemon that are caught via the Mew Glitch can transfer to Gen 7, except for Mew.
I did a Mew Glitch before, though the one I used can actually mess up the game. How it works is there's a gambler on the route from Lavender Town and Saffron that, when you walk up to encounter, you can open the menu, fly, fight any trainer you want, then after winning, go to Lavender town and leave West. You can do it to catch Mew, but every time I did it, it messed up the major boss fights with Giovanni.
MY favorite glitch, which allows you to get mew as soon as you can catch an Abra and requires no other glitches, is a version of trainer fly. When you leave Misty's Gym, the game makes the gym your "home" i.e. using teleport will take you here. You want to clear the minimum number of trainers on the Nugget Bridge in order to get to the small patch of grass on the left side of the road north of town. Catch an Abra so you can teleport. Then you teleport home. Climb the bridge to encounter the last guy on the nugget bridge, pause when he "!" you, and teleport. Then cross the Nugget Bridge again. When the game transfers from town to Route, you will encounter a level 10 Mew. You can catch it, then go on to beat that trainer. You can then use this glitch on every other trainer on that Route, each one produces a pokemon at level 10, including one more Mew from one of the trainers, and my personal favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Staryu.
They actually appear at level 7, unless the last Pokemon you fought before your Mew encounter raised their attack by 3 stages, in which case they would be level 10. Fun fact: if you take a Pokemon with a special stat of 21 and teach it Swords Dance and have a Ditto transform and use Swords Dance at least twice before you defeat it or run, and then do your Mew encounter, it will be high enough level to have Transform (which it learns at level 10). Even more fun fact: if it transforms before you catch it, it will become a Ditto when you catch it. In gen 1, because Mew was never intended to appear in the wild, the programmers assumed the only wild Pokemon you could encounter that could transform would be Ditto. This allowed them to be lazy and set it to be Ditto if you catch anything that was transformed so that they didn’t have to worry about you catching whatever Ditto had transformed into.
That's crazy...I didn't know about the Cinnabar area duplication, I always talked to the old man, flew to Fushia City. Then surf down and to the left to Seafoam Island. And would surf up and down there for Missing No glitch etc.
Cheating and hacking in Pokemon Red was what got me into the IT field today and why I work in cybersecurity. The thrill of that kinda catapulted my passion and motivation towards the future as tech matured and grew. The only one I specifically remember is the MissingNo going up and down the shore line glitch / item duplication. I remember a friend taught me on the bus ride to summer camp during one summer when I was like 9yrs old lol. Loved the vid, some of the glitches were eh, but yea the top ones were awesome.
Honestly the same stuff amazed me as a kid and still amazed me as an adult today obviously since I’m watching this video. I want to get into coding and programming etc and replaying my old Pokémon games recents is a huge part of that. Do you think you could take a minute to explain a little bit more about how you got into the fields you are in today and how a fellow Pokémon glitch-inspired fan might get into something similar?
They probably have glitches because the programmers did not write unit tests. Always write your tests. jk.
I relate to this so much, I loved computers just because of these glitches
@Netloc AD I mean... untill you realized Rare candies actually reset the hidden stat bonus like boxing a pokemon (didnt have a name for EV's back then) and your buddy kills your lvl 100 Nidoking with a level 70 Gengar raised from Lvl 14.
@____ I think only like 4 people in my school had em (me included) so people would trade through us. But we also knew raised pokemon got better stats because some dude in game tells you this...
Inputting cheats are fun but these natural glitches in game are interesting
I go on your website to get GBA roms xD
I love ur website
Yeah it’s cool that you can cheat by exploiting certain things in the game’s code. In crystal I used the duplication glitch to duplicate rare candies
Your cheat sometimes break my games when i play but its very fun too i very love your website
If. Is a bad. But. It better
Love how this game seems held together by glue and straw yet it remains one of the most influential games ever made!
I think that’s generous
More like that Dollar Tree tape you can rip with your hands
If you love it so much then why don't you marry it
@stellartoast4587to be fair, that’s also one of the most popular games but on a different device
5:25 An easy way to explain and understand this is by a mechanical odometer. If you roll back from 000000, you get to 999999, because there are no negative numbers on the odometer. It's the same with XP. XP is supposed to be a positive number only. When the formula gives out a negative number, the game interprets it as a very large positive number.
How the Brock Through Walls glitch works, is that when you talk to that trainer, the game searches for your coordinates to see what path you have to take. But as you're not supposed to be able to talk to him from the right, your coordinates won't be where the game was expecting the coordinates to be, so it will just keep looking. Normally, it keeps looking forever which is why it soft locks. But if you have moves with the right PP, the PP values will actually be the coordinates the game is looking for, so the data after that will be interpreted as a path you're supposed to follow. But its a glitched path that happens to let you walk through walls.
so the data what?
Nope, just youtube hiding the read more option from you
TH-cam had the moves with the right PP values to hide the button

"BEATING OFF WITH NUMBER 10"
Ikr haha
My confused thoughts exactly
number 10 is the sexiest number
Who wouldn't beat off number ten?
cmstair im just happy i wasn't the only one who beated off to number 10
I came from the Future to say that I think Jrose1's favorite Red and Blue glitch is now the Badge Boost glitch
I came from your futures future to say, fuck you
no me habla espaniol
I was waiting for you to mention the Mew glitch, and ofc it comes last lol. I was actually so lucky because I thought I had beaten every trainer but it turned out the one trainer I needed to fight in order to capture Mew was still uncontested. My excitement when I went and actually fought the trainer, then followed the steps exactly to where i needed to go to start fighting Mew, and the battle screen started.... Oh my god that feeling was so good.
As long as you have a long-range trainer, you can do the glitch as often as you like. Just have a Pokemon with a special stat of 21. Initiate the trainer-fly glitch, fight any trainer (can use Elite 4 if all other trainers are defeated. Must use PC to save by changing boxes and restart so you can talk to the E4 trainers). Then find a Ditto and have it transform into your Pokemon with a special stat of 21. You can abuse level underflow if you want by using 6 Growls on the transformed Pokemon before defeating it or running and get the level 1 Mew upon returning to the long range trainer’s route. If you do the level 1 Mew encounter, be sure you have space in your party. If it’s sent to your box, you can never withdraw it while it’s level 1.
If you've defeated that certain trainer you could always use the ditto glitch to get Mew, or the 8F/wsm glitch to get as many Mew's as you want. You can even use a different variant of the 8F/wsm glitch to change Mew's ID to GF 22796 so you can transfer it to Pokémon Bank, the same glitch can also make it shiny. I currently have a shiny Mew in Shield using said glitch.
@@HellHathNoFuryAtAll8 you cant use elite 4 members for trainer fly... the trainer has to walk up to you and initiate the text box in order for the glitch to work and the game not to crash
I had to restart cuz I had just beat him not realizing but then once I went back I got. Me 2 mews instead of one
There is a glitch in which you don't have to set something up.
Basically, if you go to any gym and try to fish or surf on the statues inside of any gym. It will just let you do that for no reason at all.
Wow! I always hate hearing about the exact same glitches over and over whenever I want to learn something new, and I was hoping that you wouldn't have the Missingno glitch here, but even though you did, I was stunned to know about those other glitches, and even how they worked, and it was really enjoyable to watch:) thank you for uploading this video😊

Just gonna leave this comment right *here*
Thank you kind sir.... I'm not worthy
I actually use the invisible PC at the Celadon City hotel all the time. I never liked the Poké Center music, but I love the Celadon City music, so I use the hotel PC so I can listen to the music I like.
This was a really good vid. Refreshing to see some glitches I haven't seen before, in addition to in depth explanations on glitches I've already been using. Keep up the good work.
wow. as someone who had for sure seen them all, I never even heard of item underflow! all the others I've seen countless times but that one was new to me. Nice video! It's crazy that theres so many glitches you couldn't even list them all (i.e. save corruption to beat the game in 1 minute)
I like teaching MissingNo. Fly, evolving him into a Kangaskhan and then uploading him to Pokemon Stadium on N64.
The reason why the SS Anne's still there is because it's a fundamental part of the Vermilion Dock map, and they likely didn't include a version without the ship (because it'd be pointless and take up valuable memory). As a result, should you manage to re-enter the map despite the invisible flag wall, the boat will always be there.
Also, my favourite glitch? Transform + Mirror Move - should you use Mirror Move while Transformed, you'll be stuck with a blank move that DOES have PP, but cannot be depleted, thereby preventing Ditto (or Mew) from using Struggle. There's also no way to fix it, apart from Transforming into a Mirror Move Pokémon and hoping Mirror Move occupies the exact same glitched slot, then using all of its PP.
The reason the experience/item underflow works that way is because the game uses some sort of circular indexing system like a circular queue that when it reaches the very end it wraps back to the first, so in theory if you want over the max amount of xp or items it could drop you back to one, that's why the xp is so high, so that normally a trainer could never get that much xp. So therefore if you go backwards in the queue it's going to bring you to the end of it.
Close, but not quite it either.
Numbers stored in memory were unsigned - more on that later, when I explain negative numbers - back in the GB and NES era, and was often the case in the SNES era too (though some cases did differ, but I digress). Numbers are stored with only a certain number of bits, and for the experience counter, this number is a 24-bit (or 3-byte) counter. When you have a level 1 Pokémon in Gen 1, it has 0 XP (In raw binary, 00000000 00000000 00000000). Thanks to it gaining negative XP, the XP is "added" like normal, and when the subtraction is performed, it assumes that the operation is valid, and the result is that it trudges on as if it had 16, 777,217 XP (That's [00000001] 00000000 00000000 00000000). The result is an underflow, as it applies the bitwise operation, and arrives at the over-16-million number that results in instant level 100(the details change mildly, because it's like 0+(-63 + whatever normal XP you get from the battle) but that's a nit-pick). The safeguard would be to have a signed integer, where you only use all but 1 bit of the number's normal space for counting, and one bit to denote if a value is negative, or positive.
This is me using as close to layman's terms as I can while still being accurate to what's going on.
There are alot of really powerful glitches like the basic item dupe glitch and Data mod glitches like item underflow and ACE with things like super glitch and 8F, but the most interesting Imo is Pokemon merging. I guess you could do it with 8F, but back in the day it was always so fun to make hybrids of my favourite mons, especially if one of them was a glitch mon with a cool color pallet/ beast stats.
*Mis* - *SING* - *no* Glitch.
LMAO
Actually, it may be due to the fact that its name is Missingno. Or Missing No. Which is missing number. Which is what Missingno. Doesnt have, a number in the code. Which is why it behaves as it does and everything is so bizzar
@@shinyatom3970 you're an idiot. I gave a more logical explanation to it (and I clearly state that it's just a thought, not actual fact) you assume I'm dumb. You poor thing
@@MagnusQuake You realize the original comment was poking fun at how Jrose pronounces the name, right? How he emphasizes the "sing" in missingno.
I remember the invisible PC thing being highlighted in an issue of Nintendo Power, but when Nintendo was asked about the Missingno glitch it was vehemently denied lol
The exp glitch was the reason why pokémon were always born at level 5 up until Gen IV, since the glitch was seemingly brought over to Gold, Silver and Crystal given the re-used code, and Game Freak allegedly couldn't test if the same glitch would repeat in Gen III games despite being built upon entirely new code, so they just "skipped" a generation to implement the change.
The experience one is because negative numbers in binary are encoded using the Two's Complement. Basically, you use the left-most bit as the pos/neg sign and then the rest of the bits represent the number.
For example, when dealing with signed numbers,
(signed)
010 = +2
110 = -2
(unsigned)
010 = 2
110 = 6
However, since the developers never intended for there to be negative experience, the binary representing the experience gained from a battle is likely read by the game as an unsigned number and since the left-most bit is 1, that makes the unsigned equivalent a really large integer.
Excellent, informative well constructed video! I didn't know about most of these!
How much time did someone have to waste to find all of these out???
Fav for me would be battle with Professor Oak and his lvl 70 team with fossil Aerodactyl on his team
There s no Aerodactyl in Oak's team. There's Tauros, Exeggcutor, Arcanine, Gyarados and a starter. That's all
Combo Breaker
If you growl at the Pokémon that has the special stat corresponding to Oak, the game will give him different rosters.
The Mew one is the best one cuz you can get it early and as soon as it gets up to about level 20 it's super strong it learns mega Punch and then literally almost knocks anything out!
Here's a bit more of an in-depth explanation of integer underflow:
Gen 1 pokemon games store experience values as *unsigned integers*. In my example, I'm going to simplify it by assuming that we're working with 4 bits. A 4 bit unsigned integer can store 16 different values(base 2^4 digits), from 0 to 15, which is equal to the numbers 0000 to 1111 in binary/base 2. If we were working with *signed integers*, it would be from -7 to 7, using the 8 bit to instead mark whether the number is positive or negative. In the case of tracking experience, negative numbers are unnecessary, so an unsigned integer is used.
So, what happens if we try to create a negative number when working with an unsigned integer? Obviously we won't get one because it's impossible, so what happens instead? The numbers simply loop back around, hence "underflow" or "overflow" if going the other way.
0000
-0001
=1111
In this example, I simply subtracted 1 from 0. Instead of getting -1, we get 15. You might be looking at the equation and wondering why this works. The simple answer is that to the computer, 0000 to 1111 are the only values that exist for this number. Taking variable names from C's limits.h, let's call 0 UINT_MIN and 15 UINT_MAX. UINT_MIN-1 is equal to UINT_MAX, as shown above. The reverse is also true, as UINT_MAX+1 will resolve to UINT_MIN, which is why adding 1 to an 8-bit unsigned integer equal to 255 (11111111) will give you 0 instead of 256. Some processors clamp values and prevent over/underflow by simply making adding anything to UINT_MAX resolve to UINT_MAX. A perfect example of an unsigned 8-bit integer overflow is Styder7x's "Cracking a Frozen Lake 258 Times is Perfectly Acceptable".
Signed integers are usually handled differently. Their behavior when doing calculations that would exceed INT_MAX or go below INT_MIN are very dependent on the language in use. Ada raises a Constraint_Error, Java will have normal overflow behavior going from INT_MAX to INT_MIN, and Python 2 converts the number to a long.
I hope that helped some people who may have been a little confused about how experience/integer underflow works! This isn't anywhere near an exhaustive explanation since over/underflow is a result of many properties of computing and involves a lot of different environmental conditions; I'm just trying to clarify why it happens. Feel free to ask questions or point out anything I missed.
So we're working with nibbles? 😊
The Missingno. Glitch may have been fixed in Yellow, but you can still use the ditto glitch to encounter it, they show up as skeleton versions of Kabutops and Aerodactyl and still serve the same purpose.
there is a simpler way, type "stable missingno pokemon yellow 3ds" in search bar
Me: Mew is so special.
He: Mew is my HM Slave. 😂
AMAZING video, you awnsered questions I've always had, got me past the (terrible) safari zone, and earned a like and subscribe!
That bike glitch is hilarious as fuck lmao, you can literally be like "Fuck you I'm going anyways"
One of the best Gen. 1 Glitch videos I've ever seen- kudos!
2 of these I haven't ever heard of before. Brick through walls (#3), and item underflow (#2). Honorable mention I did hear about the safari glitch before but completely forgot about it (currently playing through red for several reasons for pokemon sword and red is fun also.) So that is gonna make safari pokemon easier to catch XD
I wish you made more top tens! I love the quality of your vids! More vids to be honest! This is an underrated pokeyoutuber! Please keep it up!!!
It's kinda wholesome that at this point in his Pokemon TH-cam Career, he doesn't know the BADGE BOOST GLITCH, cause otherwise I'd see him throw it in the top 5
you forgot the exploding bulbasaur glitch in which idk how to do it but the outcome is all your pokemon in the party are replaced with 6 bulbasaurs that only know explosion as 3 of their moves with one other unspecified move that results in using explosion either way (this glitch is actually called the ZZAZZ glitch because the trainer is given the name ZZAZZ* to replace the previous trainer name)
*I only put ZZAZZ because it is the short version of the actual name given to the trainer upon this glitch succeeding
I accidetnally got some of the glitches and I thought they were intentional... I was so sad I couldn't catch a level 150 machop the next playthrough
That glitch to catch pokemon from the safari zone also works on the southern Fuchsia coast. Missingno will pop up there as well.
Take a drink every time this guy says “basically”
And?
julie conner and...I as of now can barely see, and this is the only video I’ve watched
FRE/NDA memes incoming.
I always used the "missingno glitch" to capture a kangaskhan that can learn fly. If you encounter the glitch pokemon that is just "m," you can catch it. You have to have an empty space on your team or the game will crash when you try to withdraw it. It will have the moves water gun x2 and sky attack. You can teach it to fly. After teaching it to fly, give it a rare candy, and watch it evolve into kangaskhan. After evolving it, you can then teach it surf, strength, and cut to be your HM slave. I always try to get the level 0 version of the "m" pokemon, so that way my Kangaskhan will be level 1. Hope this helps.
I knew about all these... but only because of you. Thanks for the great content mate I subscribed
Back in the day when R/B were new the Old Man/ Safari zone/ Missingno / Item dupe glitches were common knowledge and often used. That's why they were patched in yellow. The other glitches came later afaik. I was even part of a group who was brute force testing every possible name to see if it was possible to get Mew on cinnibar. We eventually concluded that it wasn't.
Trainer fly glitch came later and handed out mews like candy. I don't know how much later, but I played R / B at release and only heard of trainer fly a few years ago
Ohh! So I played Pokemon yellow way back in the day and my Pikachu evolved at level 17 and I never knew why. It must have been that wrong index glitch. That's cool to know
Doesn't work in yellow actually so it was something else
Little did he know that he would use the Badge Boost Glitch over and over three years later
*This is just friendly advice, please do not be offended*
You really need to start saying your name at the start of your videos,
"Hey everyone, how's it going, it's JRose11" would be enough,
don't change the greeting just add your name to it,
branding is important, it lets the people know whose video it is,
and most importantly who YOU are,
I know it seems like people would know(They clicked the video right?),
but if your videos are are popping up in suggested, like how I found them,
most are clicking because of the thumbnail,
It's also important if people start hosting your videos on other sites,
because the embedded youtube player most websites use doesn't give a channel name at all,
I enjoy your videos and I hope this might help you get your name out there a bit, so others can enjoy them too,
I hope in a couple years time I'm one of those guys bragging about being here when you were under 10k subs,
when you're celebrating a million,
all the best either way, keep up the good work
That's pretty good advice, thanks!
:D

Naw, you don’t have to say your name. You can just have an intro with it in text if you want.
@@Jrose11 He's jealous of you because he is a zero value person who tries to make your videos not look great!! Jeez..What a stupid person... Well-done Jrose11 !! Keep up the good work!!
my favorite red and blue glitch is the 8F glitch, as it literally allows you to execute arbitrary code which i think is pretty cool
Fun fact, when doing item replication you can just replace the 6th item in your bag with another and battle another pokemon instead of flying back to the old man and doing the glitch all over again..... which I did as a kid each and every time I needed lots of items I never thought to just replace the damn item while still in the water 🤣🤣🤣
i've was familiar with the cinnabar island glitch, dragging pokes from the safari zone to catch most of them, but i didn't knew you could catch them all with the trainer fly... I've managed to catch gengar, lapras & machoke but at young age i wasn't that much patient
I remember like figuring out which missingno would screw up your game if you caught them and generally learning the characters of the different missingno.
The pokes from the last route
You visited before talking to the dude would be on missingnos ledge
Man, I never knew about that Evolutiin stone glitch. That's just cool. Brock Through Walls is new to me too.
There's another beach with no code like Cinnabar's. It't one of tge areas in Seafoam Isles. I can't remember which isle, but I'm pretty sure it's on the East, like Cinnabar's.
I've said this 6 million times today (probably already commented on one of your videos... Whoops), but I had my Zubat use Supersonic, and then Bide. The enemy Pokémon damages itself or attacks you. The damage it does to itself adds to your bide, but you get no damage. It was pretty interesting. I thought it had something to do with the wild pokemon (ex. Zubat vs Zubat), but it works with two separate species, or at least with Zubat against something else
Nice, just like stacking Leech Seed with Toxic, I'll have to give ot a shot
@@iceg6621 Yeah. I've used it a few times and it has helped me beat Pokémon I wouldn't have otherwise beaten
@Sir We Are About to Die i don't remember what level it learns it at. The funny thing is the move combination makes such a weak Pokémon so much stronger
Great video! Yeah, the glitches in Pokemon Red and Blue were and still are, interesting!
This video made me realize that I accidentally glitch evolved my Pikachu on my first playthrough of Pokemon Red. I didn't even know you needed a thunder stone to properly evolve it.
I ran on that "evolution without stone" Thing, i didnt even know what happened
I don’t recall stumbling upon any glitches on my own in gen 1. (I have exploited many after being told about them). I did, however, stumble upon the gen 4 Rage glitch without knowing about it and wondered how in the world my Ditto knew Rage, Defense Curl and Rollout after it had transformed into my Dunsparce and got caught several turns later. After trying and failing to replicate it, I looked it up, and I found out you have to exhaust the 5 PP from Rage while transformed in order for the moveset to be permanently copied. Fun side note: I used this to have something use Transform into something with Fly and Rage (and other moves), had Mr. Mime Copycat it to transform into it, used all Rage, and ended the battle with a Mr. Mime that can fly. I found it pretty funny.
@@HellHathNoFuryAtAll8
Our glitches know no bounds
@@HellHathNoFuryAtAll8 I stumbled upon the glitch people usually use to catch mew as a child. More out of panic due to being poisoned and realising I won't walk there - I walked in front of the trainer, paused, taught something dig, then escaped the fight to get to a pokemon center. 1hp, so still couldn't make it, so I used a rare candy to revive my starter, and just carried on with the game.
Battled... I think a gambler? Then entered the grass to avoid another trainer and found a wild... Kabutops I think.
As a child I tried convincing others you could catch one next to lavender town
MelodicTurtleMetal Probably just some haziness to the memory, but the glitch disables the start menu once you have dug away, so perhaps the rare candy was used prior to digging? Also, the encounter starts as soon as you re-enter the route, not when you enter the grass. Still, it’s cool that you stumbled upon it. It’s always crazy to have something so unexpected happen when you weren’t aware of the glitch.
@@HellHathNoFuryAtAll8 I'm confident in not remembering it correctly. I do recall seeing the npc react to me when I flew away, which was amusing to me, and I remember poison being the reason I chose to try to avoid the trainer...
But you're correct, I was trying to replicate the result last night and the menu doesn't open after teleporting, so the gambler must not have been involved.
I loved finding oddities in games. It's strange how few I feel I stumbled across in pokemon gen 1 as a kid, considering how broken it seems to be.
Did you watch the glitch showcase they did for gen 1 at one of the GDQ events? A guy actually basically glitched the game up in such a way that strength was usable on the truck, it did push it, and then Mew is encountered. As far as I know that was dont just by crazy memory manipulation and not any kind of mod - crazy!

It was edited by in-game actions (arbitrary code execution) beforehand, it is entirely possible to do without hacking the game or modding it with an outside source, and to do on console. :P And yeah, it was awesome! Easily one of the more impressive arbitrary code executions I've seen.
For the S.S. Anne glitch, you actually have to press right while next to the water and then Start immediately afterwards, save, and then reset. If you don't do this, your character will end up facing downwards instead, and the glitch wouldn't work.
Gen 1 is broken, but thank God I can abuse that to get some sweet competitive mons in Gen 7! Nice video btw.
5:26 essentially what happens it it treats it like it subtracting 54 from 0 how ever its a counter so when it reaches the lowest programmed number it will reset to the highest number (look up the civ gandi glitch for a better explanation)
I like the glitch that enables you to encounter mew on the nugget bridge
Okay, so I had a glitch happen to me on my first time playing Pokemon Blue, I don't really know how it happened but I'll try to explain (I took a picture with my 3ds). So I was fighting a Level 40 Muk with my Level 37 Snorlax in the Cinnabar Island building, my Snorlax was poisoned and had 70 health left, and Muk had used Minimize TWICE! I went to see if any of my Pokemon knew Swift and I remembered that my Mew did, I went to Mew and saw that he DIDN'T know Swift...I went back to the battle without switching Pokemon and what happened was, Snorlax was now Minimized and Muk was Mew but Mew was cut in fourth's and placed randomly where Muk was supposed to be. Muk was now Level 37 and Snorlax was now Level 40. It still said that the Pokemon was Muk and I was very confused. Please tell me what this Glitch is called, I need to know.
That is weird
Oh yeah that happens because enemy Pokémon sprite data is replaced when checking Pokémon stats in battle with whoever you checked. It goes back to the normal enemy usually but because minimise is a different sprite (and should stay they same) it never bothers to check and revert back to the minimised sprite
It's called the SnoreyMukmew glitch
Whoever found these glitches must’ve stayed locked in their room for a very very very and i mean very long amount of time😂
Most, if not, all glitches are found by complete accident and then shared with other people. Explaining or discovering how and why these glitches work is another thing altogether
And looking to the.code
Using Trainer-Fly to get a pokémon that can trigger the Experience Underflow glitch is actually tremendously useful on the Virtual Console versions. Level 100 on the Medium-Slow experience group (which triggers the underflow) yields a Timid nature when transferred to Poké Bank. And a lot of special attackers (the Nidos, Gengar, Alakazam, Mew...) happen to be in that group, they get another benefit.
So I have a really funny glitch story. So I caught I believe it's called Female Symbol not sure but it has the Cool trainer moveset. And while battling wild Pokémon. It kept pulling random Pokémon from my pc. I had a jigglypuff named ballsack and a parasect named derp. And it came out to be ballderp. It was great. I'll put it up on my twitter if you guys want
Jastorals did you put it on Twitter?
I definitely need to know if he puts it on his twitter.
I knew about the guy who taught you how to catch Pokémon but that led to me accidently finding out about pokemon from the safari zone being there on Cinnabar with the right set up.
So you're actually partially right about the meowth girl, you don't need to do what you did, I've been testing this out with only trainer fly glitches, but all you need to do is battle her and it works. I was mostly using other places.
Missing No. used to creep me out.
The brock thru walls glitch is made with how the game gets data for the paths. The moves and the moves pp that bulbasaur has indicates the player coordinates you have when you perform this glitch, and the rest of the moves indicate a path that lets you walk thru walls. Also while youre following a path and your controls are locked, you can go through walls so thats sorta how it works.
I like how you explain why you think it deserves a spot.
5:26 The reason it does that is because computers don't actually have a value for the - character to put in front of the negative number, only 0 and 1, therefore if a number can be negative it is limited to 1 lower characters with a 1 in the unused spot signifiing the "negativeness".
When adding and subtracting the computer still uses the same logic, no matter which type of number you use, so when you have +0 and subtract 1 it reads as -0, which cannot exist, and therefore it will assume the number was to high and set it to the maximum value.
Tl;Dr: Because negative numbers aren't programmed in -1 will be the highest positive number, -2 the second highest etc. this is just the in depth explanation, in case anyone wanted it.
My friend is a Pokemon fanatic (played every game with a full pokedex + 25 shinies) and she was confused when I brought up MissingNo. I showed her this vid and her mind was BLOWN. She even encountered MissingNo with the help of this vid.
How the fuck can you play every game and not know about missingno.? You literally have to be living under a rock
YOU'RE DOING WHAT WITH NUMBER 10???
Phewfin Darkonis your picture make it look better
@@BigHunteee agreed lol
“Hey sorry roads closed”
“Alright thanks!”🚴♀️
Fun fact Jrose Nintendo Power was actually right when they said catching Missingno would crash your game. They just didn’t say it wouldn’t happen every time. Actually had my save data corrupt after catching one on my Red version when I was a kid. Friend of mine had his corrupt on Blue a few days after as well.
This brings back so many memories I remember being In class playing this teacher took it away parents had to come get it ..I felt life was over in real time
Every time I try to remember how me and seemingly everyone other kid on the planet knew about the Missingno/item duplication glitch, I have no recollection of how it came to be. This was not only when we were like 5 years old, but also at a time when the internet was not necessarily a commonplace thing in the household. So I come to wonder how word of mouth started with the glitch that it became so well-known among the general population of kindergarten and early elementary school kids! It's interesting in that it's not like the other glitches meaning you could theoretically come across it by accident, but I feel like someone would have had to tell me to specifically talk to the old man and then surf the coast of Cinnabar.
I remember when I used the missingno glitch, there were encounters with trainers having 255 level pokemon. And it only happen with one specific Pokemon red cassette
6:07 Its not a lie. Different Names create different endresults with one missigno being more dangerous to your game than another. Its not surprising that the right combination of letters could break the game completly, given what happens to sprites and the hall of fame once you dared to do the glitch.
I'm obsessed with your voice and channel!!
I accidentally preformed the exp underflow glitch after cloning a machamp in Pokémon silver once. I had no clue what was happening 😃
I remember finding a pokemon dupe glitch with my brother that involves trading and unplugging the link cable, but that ended up deleting one of our pokemons in the end 😅
5:24 can be likened to a mileage meter being at 999999 and you add 1 and it flips over to 000000, but in this case, you remove 1 from 000000 instead. Also, it's called integer overflow regardless of whether the number is too large or too small.
If it’s too small, we say it’s an underflow.
@@wiktoreriksson4566 That's if the exponent of a float is too small. Integers only wrap around/overflow
I remember my first glitch in Pokemon Blue, I was actually in a car and then I finally got to that precious spot on Cinnabar Island where your name data is stored on the side, I swam on the side of the island and found that precious precious Missingno I love Pokemon Red and Blue glitches!
I always used the right side of Seafoam Islands for Missing No...didn't know you could use Cinnabar island lol.
setovegeta Your memory must be incorrect. Only the right side of Cinnabar island is incorrectly programmed as grass tiles. The reason you get encounters either related to your name or Safari Zone in the examples mentioned is that there are no grass encounters in Cinnabar’s encounter table, so the game looks for the most recent info in the grass encounter tables. Viridian and Fuschia both have no grass encounters, so after finishing the Old Man tutorial or leaving the Safari Zone, your name or the Safari Zone area you were last in (yes, the area within the Safari Zone matters regarding what you find) respectively will be the data it finds, but only if you go directly to Cinnabar without entering any routes that have grass encounters.
Actually, I’m wrong about your memory. You can do it on that coast. I never realized that, but it makes sense they would use the same type of tile there, and there are no grass encounters on the routes with Seafoam Islands, so I should have known. Sorry for my mistake.
I absolutely love all the glitches in red and blue, I consider myself the god of glitches cause I’m willing to risk a game just to do one, and I’m great at handling them. My favorite glitch Pokémon is missingno just cause it’s awesome to have a Pokémon that was not meant to be
Holy crap. I think I accidentally hit on the Evolutionary Glitch as a kid. I remember beating Gary in the Lavender Tower fight and then my Pikachu immediately trying to evolve into something. I was freaked out but also super curious as to what it'd become. Unfortunately, I wasn't really ready for that Pikachu to evolve, so I canceled the evolution and it's been bugging me ever since as to what he'd evolve into. Guess it was Raichu all along. Huh.
It blows my mind that the Missigno glitch was unintended rather than an easter egg.
the glitched Magikarp run was awesome. I'm totally trying it now.
Nice video. Some of these were patched in Europe, even in VC re-release of RBY, especially in the French, Italian and Spanish versions if I am not mistaken. Missigno also destroyed my VC save two times, just by crashing the game at encounter when not a fossil or a ghost. Maybe because of the patch. Or maybe because of my trainer name...not sure. I tried Brock Thorough Walls, but it was patched too. :(
Trainer fly works just fine.
There was a glitch in this game that if you were on half water and half land, a special battle would start and you would release a pokemon that look weird and caused some weird stuff to happen in the game. However, there is a fail using this in Stealing the Diamond that would after the weird stuff happened, It would pretend your Windows 1.0-3.0 device crashed.
These are really cool, thanks for sharing!
Yeah, Pokémon Red/Blue have many great glitches for sure.
I love how the Nintendo power article to never catch missingno but then told us the exact steps to do it. Really didn't understand that when kids are told to never do something they always want to do it
I remember that Safari Zone glitch! That's how i caught the Safari Zone pokemon. I felt so naughty using that glitch lol
Brock through walls happens because the specific moves and PP for the moves writes code for the game and it tells you where it's taking you, the reason it softlocks if you do it wrong is because it doesn't know where your supposed to be going if you talk to the guy from the right, I think that's how it works anyway.
My favorite glitch as a kid is getting the baseball bat item and if you hit an NPC that is also a pokemon trainer you will get their pokemon game, the version is generated randomly using an RNG (Random number generator)
I always liked catching missingno teaching it fly then letting it evolve
Why teach it fly?
... Actually sounds a little familiar, did I do that?
I remember my missingno evolving into a level 142 electrode (which I leveled up to 255 to battle friends) or a level 80:ish Kangaskan.
I wonder if the evolution depended on your name.. though I usually called the character Ash I think
In case someone asks, yes, all of these glitches are usable in the virtual console releases of the games. Its pretty cool. I use the Mew glitch and the Missingno/dublicate items glitch to get easy competitive Pokemon in Gen 7, cause believe it or not, Pokemon that are caught via the Mew Glitch can transfer to Gen 7, except for Mew.
I did a Mew Glitch before, though the one I used can actually mess up the game. How it works is there's a gambler on the route from Lavender Town and Saffron that, when you walk up to encounter, you can open the menu, fly, fight any trainer you want, then after winning, go to Lavender town and leave West. You can do it to catch Mew, but every time I did it, it messed up the major boss fights with Giovanni.
MY favorite glitch, which allows you to get mew as soon as you can catch an Abra and requires no other glitches, is a version of trainer fly. When you leave Misty's Gym, the game makes the gym your "home" i.e. using teleport will take you here. You want to clear the minimum number of trainers on the Nugget Bridge in order to get to the small patch of grass on the left side of the road north of town. Catch an Abra so you can teleport. Then you teleport home. Climb the bridge to encounter the last guy on the nugget bridge, pause when he "!" you, and teleport. Then cross the Nugget Bridge again. When the game transfers from town to Route, you will encounter a level 10 Mew. You can catch it, then go on to beat that trainer. You can then use this glitch on every other trainer on that Route, each one produces a pokemon at level 10, including one more Mew from one of the trainers, and my personal favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Staryu.
They actually appear at level 7, unless the last Pokemon you fought before your Mew encounter raised their attack by 3 stages, in which case they would be level 10. Fun fact: if you take a Pokemon with a special stat of 21 and teach it Swords Dance and have a Ditto transform and use Swords Dance at least twice before you defeat it or run, and then do your Mew encounter, it will be high enough level to have Transform (which it learns at level 10). Even more fun fact: if it transforms before you catch it, it will become a Ditto when you catch it. In gen 1, because Mew was never intended to appear in the wild, the programmers assumed the only wild Pokemon you could encounter that could transform would be Ditto. This allowed them to be lazy and set it to be Ditto if you catch anything that was transformed so that they didn’t have to worry about you catching whatever Ditto had transformed into.
the missingno glitch also works on the tiles on the side of the islands, but you can't run into a pokemon or it'll reset so bring repels with you
That's crazy...I didn't know about the Cinnabar area duplication, I always talked to the old man, flew to Fushia City. Then surf down and to the left to Seafoam Island. And would surf up and down there for Missing No glitch etc.
