I thought I knew literally everything about these games but this video completely blew my mind.
Ok
Totally agree
Yeah.
you must not play much pokemon then, because these are all very well-known bugs and secrets, nothing in this video is new or interesting, iv'e seen it ALL 1000 times before on youtube
@@Burger_pants sooo... take your pants on and make another interesting clip
My pikachu once spontaneously evolved after a battle on cycling road and nobody would believe me, insisting I must have used a thunderstone and not paid attention and I cannot describe the level of vindication I felt the first time I heard about the glitch causing stone evolution to occur without using a stone!
Having a growlithe by this point totally checks out.
In Pokémon Yellow, my Pikachu learned Payday by leveling up, not by a TM
@@mikelonas4508 i had yellow and this never happened to me :O
@@TheTrooperMB yeah, because it was a glitch
@@mikelonas4508 glitches were famous even back in the days , but this one ive never heard of
Don't think I didn't notice you casually walking through snorlax lol, but this is the first time I have thought about how messed up the intentional path to Celadon is in the Gen 1 games. Literally nothing but pokemon battles for hours until finally a damn town with a gym.
Until now i wasnt thinking about it, but now it makes sense, that the SS Anna would bring you to the next city, instead a fucking ass slog for hours through half the contintent to reach the fourth gym.
I was found it weird backtracking from Vermilion City to the side of Cerulian City
You have to remember Pokemon was made in 1997 by a company thinking of it as a typical JRPG, and not as "Pokemon". Lots of RPGs have (a) a first boss fight who uses scary powers that later become trivial (Onix), (b) arbitrary separations of areas to force a progression, and (c) a very grindy middle section that basically exists as a convenient way to let the player power up to prepare for the late game.
The Celadon path is definitely suboptimal and weird in hindsight. But if you view those trainer challenges as a nice way to go from Surge's level 24 cap to Erica's level 32ish (not to mention Rocket and your rival), it makes sense.
mind that gen 1 and the whole franchise was completed in 6 months as a joke and a bet if he could or not make a game within the 6 months due time that was left for thegame boy classic to be replaced with game boy color.
@@ejokurirulezz 6 months of development for one of the most iconic games in existence?!
Dayum... Very few games have actually had some extreme success by following that strategy, to the point of surpassing everyone's expectations. Case in point: Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Zelda: Majora's Mask. Probably a few others out there, as well. They're always very curious cases.
As a kid for a long time I had no idea the whole rocket hideout under the game corner. Thought the pokedoll was the only way to beat the last ghost and that it just really wanted a doll.
That part is kind of lame anyways dw lol
What do you mean please explain
@@christianflores3437 in pokemon red & blue, you encounter an unidentified ghost at lavender tower that prevents from going to the last floor.
The Silph scope item in the Rocket hideout is expected to be used & it reveals the identity of the ghost. Of course, a pokedoll could just make pokemon go away....
Pretty sure the doll was the intended alternative if you can't find or beat Giovani
@@givitback5323Pretty sure it’s just a glitch and not intentional.
Back as a children, I remember someone accidentally getting the evolution screen for their Pikachu right after a battle. It was mindblowing, but nobody could replicate it because we had no clue what we were doing haha.
I had a friend use scratch snd 1 hit ko with a level 100 charizard eveeythjng ☠️☠️
Yeah someone else also experienced this in the comments. I really like this because it means that a fan made game about Pokemon game glitches will allow us to do this.
Back as a children
How'd you go from a plural to a singular
Literally everyone one knows this glitch🤦🏿♂️
The best part about the safari zone spin glitch is if you do this in yellow, pikachu spins as well
For real I need footage of that 😂😂 no way to play my cart ATM or I would myself
You don't need Flash to light up Rock Tunnel in Pokémon Yellow, all you need is your partner Pikachu to know either Thunderbolt or Thunder and talk to him. As soon as you do he will light up the area for a few seconds while talking back, allowing you to see the path ahead.
If Pikachu only knows Thundershock however, this will not happen.
Having a poisoned pokemon also works as a bypass. When the poison effect makes the screen flash, it'll show you the outline of the area at minimum. (this is how I got through on Yellow for the first time)
When playing on a Gameboy color at least, you can se the traces of the way
@@davidfelez7575I wonder if there are certain bios palettes you can use that bypass the hidden areas entirely? After all, the game wasn't originally made with those extra palettes in mind.
Same with the Super Game Boy.
As a kid, I just got used to always going through the tunnel in the dark. You can at least see the walls. So I'd hug a wall while moving, and if Red suddenly stopped walking and began bumping up against something, I knew it was another trainer
You can take the safari zone glitch another step further by timing it so you run out of steps as you jump off of a ledge, you can now walk through walls if done correctly
And have a poisoned Pokémon at 125 hp right as you begin the Safari Zone glitch. By the time you warp back to the zone with walk through walls active, the Pokémon should have 1 hp left and faint in four steps, you go back to the last Poké Center, and can now walk through walls on the overworld.
I crashed the game so many times doing this, but my favorite part was finding Phantom Towns. Dear GOD there were a lot of them.
Screw Glitch City, I'm all about Phantom Town lol
No lie, as a 10 year old kid, using the poke doll on the ghost I thought was a viable option working as intended. I never new until much later that it was an exploit.
I'm quite confident it was not an exploit but an easteregg. I had the official Trainer Manual that came with the game when bought early enough.
It explained in clear Dutch (cuz I'm from the Netherlands) that we can also just buy a pokédoll. Additionally, it might also have explained where to find the first available pokédoll.
I'm sure it also explained the downside of doing this, like you wouldn't get the Lapras from Giovanni's scientist as most have departed if you save mr fiji, but the Master Ball would still be available at the Team Rocket HQ. -edit: cuz the whole shtick of going to that headquarters is to get the silph co to bypass the ghost to save mr.fiji.
@@Yezpahr you get both the masterball and gift lapras from the silph co building(which is AFTER you skip the lavender town segment so you don't skip either of those by using the pokedoll)
you actually skip out on the silph scope that you get from team rocket HQ
i agree
I always thought it was the legit way to clear it too since you couldn't catch Marowak anyways. I genuinely thought that was the whole reason the Poké Doll was in the game.
@@Yezpahr The Silph Scope is from the hideout below the casino, no? And you are referring to Silph HQ which is the massive 7 or 8 storey building in Saffron City? Unless skipping Rocket Hideout makes the HQ unaccessible?
My nidorino once evolved in rocket hideout, no one believed me. I even started a question about it on one of those online boards, people answered me like I was stupid. “Are you sure you didn’t accidentally use the moonstone after the battle?” How the hell can you accidentally use an item?! I’m so happy to know I was not crazy and it did happen
So you used the PokeDoll glitch to do Pokemon Tower without the Silph Scope to get the Pokeflute? Then went to Fushcia into the Safari Zone, caught an Exeggcute, used a leaf stone on him to evolve him into Exeggutor? Before going back to do Rocket Hideout which is irrelevant since you used PokeDoll skip? That's some weird routing.
@@bojangle dont you go into a second rocket hideout after gym 4 or 5 to free up the whole centre city to get into gym 6 (sabrina?) and fighting gym? i think the OG doesn't mean the hideout in the casino...
@@bojangle wtf are you talking about??? Why would he use the pokedoll glitch? where did you get that from?? If you're high, please give me a number on that dealer of yours, cause that must be some good stuff you're on.
@@arias1610that's a mean way to say you can't process what you read
@@arias1610his point is that Exeggutor is required in order to activate the Moon Stone glitch
So if OP means the Rocket Hideout in Celadon, then he would have had to make it to the Safari Zone in Fuschia without the Silph Scope first, then come back
However, more than likely he meant Silph Co in Saffron City (and/or misremembered which one he was in when it happened)
(Which is not actually called a “hideout” at all, but it is the 2nd major encounter with Team Rocket, and an understandable mistake)
I totally didn't know about number 4, mindblowing. It's amazing how messy the code of these games were and yet how well it worked without incidents unless you purposedly triggered them. Truly a piece of gaming history
Honestly I love when games are broken to hell, but on purpose. Like, to use a modern game as an example. I absolutely love Cyberpunk 2077. But part of that, is down to how combining Double Jump, with the ability to grab and climb ledges, let's me explore a HUGE amount of the map that you were never intended to see. BUT, it's all optional stuff that doesn't break anything for a normal player just playing through the game.
It also annoys me to no end when devs patch out stuff like that too. Like, it's not hurting anything to just leave that stuff there. In fact, it actively makes the game more fun for a lot of people. I know personally, I've put a lot of extra hours into games when I can get out of the map and stuff. I find the idea of seeing stuff in a game that I wasn't supposed to see, or even seeing how a game reacts to doing stuff out of order, to be fascinating.
Stuff like this also reminds me of the nostalgic days before datamining, when a weird thing would happen in a game and it'd spread around until it was a popular rumor/myth that people were trying to solve. I remember being a part of the old big foot hunt in San Andreas back in the day.
If a fun bug isn't effecting a normal playthrough, and you have to go out of your way to do it, just leave it in.
As Big Yellow once said, Gen 1 was full of bugs due to inexperience, not a lack of caring. It worked anyway because of a whole LOT of caring.
That level 100 glitch before is Brock is dope because depending on how you do it will determine the Pokémon you get. I got Gengar when I did it.
I got exeggcute last time i tried lol
Yes this is similar to getting mew on nugget bridge. That method can get you any pokemon in the game using one of the stats of your opponents pokemon as a check for the encounter ID data
@@Makocat exactly! I believe there are also a couple more spots where you can do it but the Mew one being a prime example.
It should be noted that getting it to jump to Lvl. 100 requires the Pokémon to be in the Medium Slow experience category, this is because the calculation for that growth doesn't work at level 1, it calculates them as having -54 exp.
The game isn't set up for negatives and with how programming works -54 exp is interpreted as having 16,777,162 exp. Maximum exp possible is 16,777,215 and if you pass that it loops back to 0, so that's why you need to gain less than 54 exp, to keep the number stupidly high, this is what causes the Pokémon to jump to 100 after battle.
This is also why in gen 2 eggs hatch at level 5, not 1, because the glitch still exists and that was easier than fixing it.
The best Pokémon you can get is Mew 🔥
You forgot the walk through wall glitch! Using the Safari Zone glitch, if you hop off a ledge (preferably around Viridian) right as the PA goes off, they take you back to the entrance of the Safari Zone mid-hop, and if you only had one remaining Pokémon poisoned in your party, you could let its HP run out in the overworld to escape the room without crashing the game, but keep the walk through wall effect! This allows you to do some fun things such as sneak into Cerulean Cave early and get some powerful Pokémon/rare items.
he probably didn't show it off because performing that glitch would take more effort than the entire rest of the video.
Brock through walls is infinitely better, more applicable and useful from the early game. The version you mentioned is obsolete
@@tubegerm6732 it's not much more effort than the spinning tile glitch.
Duuude I LOVED that one. I'd specifically use it to enter Phantom Towns. I remember Phantom Cerulean City best, it had several repeats lmao
I like doing the Nidoking glitch to get Gengar instead and play it from level 1 instead of 100. When spinning off the ledge, he actually spun 3.5 times, which is 1260 degrees. The only thing in this video I didn’t know was that Brock is the only one to hand out the badge in battle. As many hundreds of times I’ve played, I never knew that.
I kinda noticed, but mainly from fire red, though in that, it wasn't just brock to do that, giovanni does too
But gengar is so bad in red/blue due to ghost and poison being physical and dark not being a thing yet, yeah there’s thunderbolt but like…. Nidoking gets it too, or does he get thunder…. Now alakazam would be a godly pick due to psychic types being actual gods in gen 1 😳
@@ryanmann5497 Ghost being labeled as Physical is one of the most upsettingly nonsensical things I've learned about Pokémon. I mean, considering Ghost and Normal can't hit each other, and Fighting is also useless against it, Ghost is of all types as non-Physical as it gets. I've never actually understood that take.
@@ryanmann5497 that’s why TM’s are a thing. He’s OP without stab boost lol
Thank you the brutal faulty counting annoyed me so much
I still learning some secret epic tricks from these wonderful games more than 25 years after their releases. How mind blowing is that.
Pre internet age was wild. Rumors were the Wild West back then
Look up the street fighter 2 community they are still finding stuff too and have a huge community of competitive players that are based around the glitches and weird physics
As a Gen 1 veteran, I knew some, but then there are some I do NOT. Nice video.
The 'MEW GLITCH' and the 'MISSINGNO GLITCH' are the most famous glitches in all of Pokemon. While everyone knows the Missingno glitch, the Mew glitch is slightly more obscure (slightly is the key word here).
These two glitches aside there is a third glitch called the 'DITTO GLITCH' which is basically just the Mew Glitch on steroids. How both glitches work is the same, but the methods are different. When you teleport away from a trainer, the game is locked in a state that says a trainer should be walking up to you. Your next fight MUST be a trainer battle. This is to force the game to register that a trainer has walked up to you. Now the important bit is whatever the special stat of the Pokemon you last fought is, will determine the wild encounter. Now we explore the difference between the mew and ditto glitch. The ditto glitch allows you to actively control the wild encounter by letting the ditto transform into one of your own Pokemon.
If you reach a point in the game where you have no trainers left, the glitch can still be performed. Simply go to a pokecenter after starting the glitch, interact with the PC (which is still possible), change boxes then restart. With all functions of your start menu and A button back, go to pewter city, talk to the guy who shows you to the museum (say no to his question and he will walk you to the museum). This lets the game know a "trainer" has walked up to you. Now just fight a wild pokemon (ditto glitch) and end the glitch for your encounter.
Mew glitch
start glitch
fight trainer
go back to route you started
Ditto glitch
start glitch
fight trainer
fight ditto as one of your Pokemon
go back to route you started
A list of Pokemon by index number can be found here (Special stat needed for encounter):
bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_index_number_(Generation_I)
P.S. You can encounter Professor Oak after fighting a pokemon with a special stat of 226, who will actually fight you as a secret boss battle! Lots of fun!
I'd always heard of the elusive "mew glitch" but there were so many myths and people giving others false information for fun that I never learned the actual mew glitch. And this was before you could just look things up on the internet (for those of us who did not yet have access to a computer), so it was allllll word of mouth!!
@@Kateyangyuqing Yup! I remember the old days when people told me Mew could be gotten under the truck by using strength. Most people didn't know at the time that there was a surfable tile there so they would start a NEW game to try the glitch, only to lose all of their progress!
It's cool to see people who know stuff like this because you know they definitely explored deep into the glitch :)
I remember doing a lot of that with Phantom Town back in the day.
It sucks knowing that because of the lack of memory, we lost out on having well over 151 pokemon, the prof oak fight, another island/city, and the dark/steel types. All that has been known for years, BUT, there's a few glitches here I didn't know of. I dont remember the spin trick LOL!
Tbh I just call it pokemon crystal
I thought Phantom Towns would be fantastic to have hidden characters or battles in as a kid. In fact they might actually have even worked fine that way, in practice.
I’ve always wondered if I triggered one of these weird glitches when I was a kid. I vividly remember encountering a wild level 30 Charizard in between Pallet town and Pewter.
there is a glitch giving "random" level 30 pokemons i think
I really want to know why I'm the only 1 that hasn't experienced any of these can't get them to work
@@kevinmckown3193 idk I did the mew nugget bridge glitch as a kid a lot, what do you mean "can't get them to work"?
@@kevinmckown3193 You never duplicated master balls? You never catched Missingno?
Severely underrated channel my dude. I fell in love with these mindblown videos immediately thanks to recommendations and whats also a plus is that i see youre a persona fan with the music playin in the background (; keep it up dude you’ll hit big i promise garuntee!
Welcome to the channel! It’s actually my editor Curtis that decided to go with Persona music, and I love it!
This actually triggered a memory I had when playing one of the games back when I was a kid. I can’t remember what exactly caused it to happen, but when I was battling one of the trainers on the bridge north of Cerulean City, the screen showed that I threw a poke ball onto the opponent’s Pokémon (it was either a Sandshrew or an Ekans, can’t remember) and actually caught it. There was then a dialogue saying “you should not be stealing Pokémon in battle!” or something like that. This happened only on that one playthrough and I wasn’t able to replicate it anymore. I guess it was one hidden secret of the game that I was lucky enough to have experienced at least once.
i remember that aswell!
must have been a blue version^^
I love how that implies stealing them outside of battle is okay
Mandela effect
im pretty sure u can throw pokeballs in battle and you do get that message . youre not special
More than just getting Fissure right before the Elite Four, you also get TM07 Horn Drill in the Rocket Hideout and can be bought at the Celadon Department Store.
Going to Celadon before Lavender also makes sense considering the Team Rocket attacks and the whole Silph Scope quest. Because now you have to go from Lavender to Celadon for the Scope (or the pokedoll if you wanna skip that part) and then back to Lavender
For someone who is still generally unknown on YT, your video editing is on point! I dig your energy bro 👍 new subscriber

Lol kind of harsh and not true....good try at trying to be an alpha though...beta spam
You skipped over a few key details about the long range trainer glitch. Specifically, this glitch can be used to spawn in several Pokémon that aren’t meant to exist at all - this is the only way to encounter missingno in Yellow since the old man glitch was patched out. Also, Prof. Oak is the first of several glitch trainers you can fight, including a glitched version of Agatha whose Pokémon are all level 255, as well as Jacred. Pro tip: don’t fight Jacred. That is, if you value your save file.
*Red:* ~sends out a Level 100 Nidoking~
*Brock:* This is NOT okay with Brock's rules. That's some goddamn bullshit and you know it.
I evolved my Pikachu naturally as well. I always assumed it was related to the "hidden stats" in the game. Which is like determination or something...That particular pikachu and the Raichu it'd become was excellent at dodging and winning impossible odds. I assumed his evolution was part of that. But you know...I did like Growlithe/Arcanine as well....so...I now know what was going on.
I don't follow...
I always hated that pickachu didn't want a thunderstone. i actually benched him just for that.
My game allowed me to give my Pikachu the thunderstone when I randomly tried. My Pikachu had been lvl 100 for a while so I figured 'lvl 100' was the condition. I've never been able to do it since then.
I knew a good half of these. Loved the video. I blew my friends minds a few years back when we all did a fresh gen 1 run and I showed up with Mew
I once did a one hit KO run where I could only use Horn Drill and Fissure (I traded a tauros with both into a new save file)
It was brutal before the X accuracy became available 😄
Can confirm the Mew one. Did it myself years ago and was blown away
The Long Range Trainer and Experience Underflow glitch are brilliant, but the wrong Special Numbers can cause game crashes once you get to Missingno’s lesser known family members. There was channel that did a huge number of them.
I have seen people reprogram the games to play Pong.
Amazing video, and #1 did get me to subscribe. That was really good.
About unused town tho, that would be town12. 11 is what would become Saffron (confirmed by TCRF). Town12 also had the truck, so everything else you said about it makes sense
I wish I knew about the Nidoking glitch when I was a kid. I actually took the time to catch a Nidoran male, and level it up all the way to 100 throughout the game. It’s in my opinion, one of the strongest ones to get.
It absolutely is. Nidoking is the Pokémon used is Pokémon R/B/Y speedrunning because of how good it is.
@@spiritedaway0tutu Mainly because it's easily accessible, and learns an one-hit KO move for the x-accuracy exploit.
But also in competitive it's one of the top picks after the auto includes on a team (Tauros, Snorlax, Executor)
Nidoking was one of my level 100s too!
As many times as I've played these games and watched videos like this, the Onix Evo glitch and Cycling road have eluded me. You definitely earned the like/sub/comment combo. 😁
Years ago when I was playing Silver I had beat the game many hrs of gameplay ago but continued to still play. Training and catching the few left available Pokémon. One day I walk back in and talked to the professor, then proceeded to the table and picked up a second starter Pokémon. Idk what glitch that was but I was happy lol.
No glitch. After you complete the dex in that game you get another starter pretty sure
A second starter is definitely not a glitch
I know you stated that some of these are classics, and thus well known, but you are the one who titled the video "obscure" facts lol
That last one though... *chef's kiss!* Take THAT gen 3! 😂
Red spun so that Brendan/May could hop or whatever gen 3 bikes do
The most broken exploit in gen 1 is "item underflow." You trick your game into thinking your bag has 255 items and you get access to memory you shouldn't, which can be used to do pretty much anything: warping anywhere, moving NPCs around, walking through walls, catching random Pokemon. It's insane how broken this game is. But I'm not knocking it, it was written in Assembler and we still love it 25 years later.
Yup, the Arbitrary Code Execution that can be pulled off from Item Underflow is mental. On my 3DS VC copy of Pokemon Blue I have it set up so that I can spawn Mews out of thin air into my party using the 8F glitch item and item underflow. You can even turn entire boxes of Pokemon into shinies when they transfer to Pokemon Bank.
first one is the mew glitch and can be use to get a level 7 mew instead before fighting Brock. :3
I believe you needed to kill the nidorans in the small grass close to victory road. It's like having a Mew starter.
What you do is kill one pokemon, save, go check what you get, and if it's not the desired one you reset and go kill something else. The Zubats in the dark tunnel had a high chance of hitting Mew.
I have a blue version with all 151 caught in the same cartridge's. To FORCE the right value, just take a pokemon that has the desired Sp.Attack and fight a ditto, he will clone your stats. You can get every single pokemon like that, even the legendaries.
Can you explain that again. Exactly how to get mew... PLEASE
If you have growl you can get a level 1 mew because the stage mod +1 effects level of Pokemon you run in to then make it go to a battle switch it out so it won't level up with a low level Pokemon then finish the fight and you have level 100 mew
Not only is that closer to a 720 degree spin, but he over spins slightly and barely corrects in time. The judges will definitely be looking at that
I honestly don't like how this video is titled Obscure Secrets. "Secret" implies intentional design, but most of these are glitches, random/unintended code interactions that are a result of programming oddities. It's a good and comprehensive video, but mistitled.
A u t I s m
Wasn't there rumours that the "Mew Truck" near the SS Anne was actually a sprite from the missing town and the only carry over from the original?
I was just thinking about the Poké Doll thing - the intent was that it's supposed to make you flee from battle guaranteed where running wasn't always viable, but for some reason, it sets a flag that the battle was instead won instead of escaped. If you run from Marowak/Ghost, you will have to face it again, and it only allows you to progress if defeated or caught.
You can't catch it. You can only make it faint.
@@Seki1987 are you sure? I for sure remember in Blue being able to catch the Marowak.
@@LuwiigiMaster yes, you can catch A Marowak, but not THE ghost Marowak in the Pokemon Tower.
@@Seki1987 I have to give this a look again.
@@LuwiigiMaster I'm sure. He's right. You're not catching that old hag.
I love the straight to the point straight to the video ans straight out of here style of your videos. You've earned my sub
Welcome to the channel🫡
The Staryu one really messed with my pokeknowledge as a kid. Back then I kept forgetting at times, that Staryu needs a water stone to evolve. :')
I have, a long time back, documented pretty much every possible "Mew Glitch" pokemon combination possiblity for each trainer in the game, including the elite four Pokemon and Rival battles. I had long planned to finish it but never got around to the last run for one rival battle I missed in Blue/red and the two of rival battle differences in Yellow.
I have saved on my copy of Pokemon Stadium, even a team that has all three legendary birds at lv7.
man. where were you when I was a middle school gamer?
@Ice Mario In a different middle school clearly
So underrated channel! Keep the good work up 💪
I also thought it was very strange that we never actually got to travel with the S.S. Anna and instead had to backtrack, use HMCUT to go to a weird dark underground side route that made absolutely no sense as a child. Not to mention, I feel like the Diglet/Dugtrio dungeon was completely random and served no purpose... leading to a trader for Mr. Mime? wut...
I always used Diglet cave to backtrack to get the old amber since you need Cut to access it, other than that it is pretty pointless. Also if you look at the map there's nowhere the SS Ann can go as it's not connect to the sea an is blocked off by cycling rd
Well it did let you get a dugtrio to yeet lt surge
That always pissed me off, because I wanted to go on the ferry do bad.
I legit did not know about Staryu evolution
I'm gonna find my old Red game and try it out
Less of obscure secrets, and more of a collection of common old glitches, but still pretty good video
If you jump over a fence when the timer runs out in the safari zone, you activate the walk through walls glitch
I've found a lot of these types of glitch videos leave that out for some reason
Great video, yeah, true, glitches in gen 1 are interesting for sure, keep it up!
I feel like I’m in a multiverse where people actually found these secrets out that they would never find in our other multiverse!

@@cowsarea i want some of it
there is only one universe

Because he’s lying.
to 7 y/o me, this is already a different universe. back then there was no internet and exploits travelled only by word of mouth
It’s very possible the cut City or Town is either Porta Vista or Maidens Peak. Also I believe the Prof Oak fight was actually supposed to trigger when you completed the Pokédex not after defeating your Rival.
I remember evolving my pikachu last year randomly after a battle. “What? pikachu is evolving?” I was shocked and tripping out and had to look it up to see what was happening lol

How and where??
I guess I should add the story of how I obtained a Mew? I don't think I've seen this method anywhere:
1) I found a Green cartridge in a random junk shop in back in the 90's
2) Since I had no idea of japanese, I started playing around and trading pokemon from the Green to my old Red
3) The pokemon that came from the Green were a glitched mess
4) I had this random idea: "What if I take this glitched mess to the pokemon daycare and see if it turns into a normal one?"
5) It worked, the first glitched mess I gave them turned into a Seel
6) "Wow, so I can turn glitched pokemon into real ones? Hmm... I wonder if the game would randomly give me a Mew this way... But I suppose it would take an insane amount of tries-
7) SECOND glitched pokemon I gave the daycare guys TURNED INTO A MEW. BAM! Instant random strike of luck I'll probably never have again in my life!
The Mew was 90% fine, except it had one glitched attack. I solved it by making it forget the attack and replaced it by other attack I don't remember. The mew was impossible to trade to gen 2 for some reason. I remember taking that Mew to tournaments and stuff and everyone thought I owned a Game Shark lol. It's a nice memory from my childhood.
can you still reproduce that?
i also never saw this kind of glitch
maybe you should upload a video (or someone who is curious enough to find out about it)
@@Chronosrlz I'm thinking it may not have been a strike of luck, but actually the pokemon that came from the Green cartridge were "translated" somehow, first into a glitch, and after the daycare, into a fixed pokemon, by some kind of internal ID the game had or something.
For example, the one that turned into a seel perhaps it was always the same, a Charmander for example (I only got to Vermillion in the Green and then started trading to my old Red, there were the starter, some methapod, a Farfetch around there) So, the one that turns into a Mew could be actually pretty simple, it should be something you can get before the third town, like a Zubat.
I was shocked when I discovered on TH-cam that you could obtain a Mew in a much less random way.
Back in the day, me and a friend would experiment with a lot of glitches, there was the story of our "Twin Mewtwos". We found that, as we keep beating the elite four, our Mewtwos would gain extra stats for some strange reason. His would gain extra hp to the point it had like 420 hp (something waay past the normal hp) and everyone thought he was definitely using a Game Shark again lol. Mine wouldn't gain hp, but instead attack power! This lead to a funny situation where his Mewtwo would be leading in hp but I always beat him because my Mewtwo kept on becoming stronger. If I remember right, you could reproduce this glitch with lower level pokemon as well, making it interesting for those "level 5 tournaments" the guys at a store would organize.
But, before you ask, I NEVER EVER managed to move the damn truck next to the ship using strength lol, that was always fake.
There was a time I got Professor Oak to spawn using the Missingno glitch. I wish I knew how to replicated it, but basically, there was a low chance that instead of a wild Pokemon, Professor Oak would appear to challenge me to a battle. Apparently, the Missingno glitch triggers random encounters based on multiple factors, including your character's name and the location where you last encountered wild Pokemon. I just happened to get my values set just right to trigger the cut battle with Professor Oak.
that bike one is hilarious, thanks for that patreesh
How the game determines which pokemon you fight during the trainer fly glitch is determined by the special stat of the last pokemon also you should mention that you can increase the level fought by increasing the pokemons stats
The easiest way to manipulate this is fighting a ditto. You can battle some trainers and change their team
I didn't know about the spinning one
I used the Poke Doll skip my first time through because I thought it was the intended solution
I haven't seen a bunch of these and I've watched a lot of glitch videos. Great video!
There are a couple of things I remember from back in the day, although I have never been able to reproduce them. One of them was getting a Wild Gary to appear and then the game completely crashing. Also, I one time got my Charizard to evolve into a Squirtle (the next ID number along) but didn't save because I wanted the Charizard, not a level 1 Squirtle!
Here's a fun fact: If you used that glitch to spawn Mew and then you transferred it to another game via Pokemon Bank/Home, that Mew would have special identifiers marking it as the glitch Mew from Yellow.
I have never been able to transfer mew to bank from vc yellow or the other games. How did you do it?
I always get the notification something is wrong and mew won't go through.
Highly doubt there's an identifier for a glitch mew.
@@KiyiyaNuntisIt takes a massive amount of work and glitching. Look up Arbitrary Code execution for Pokemon Gen 1. You have to reprogram your trainer ID (to match the Game Freak Event ID for Mew), and either start with the character name GF or use a massive list of glitch items to change it. It's an extremely time consuming effort, but you can use ACE Glitch Items to do anything, even turn boxes of Gen 1 Virtual Console Pokemon Shiny when transferring to Pokebank.
This was more a glitch guide, but it did have a gambler-glitch variant i've never seen before, and I never heard of the evolution stone glitch.
I get how people used to fall for all those playground rumors about stuff like mew and yoshi in these games, that nidoking tech is so insanely precise I don't know how anyone came upon it
Even already knowing 13 out of 14 of these secrets, it's always nice to stumble upon new stuff
Glad you got something out of it :)
Do you know the glitch to get all 3 starters at the beginning of the game? Was a new glitch that got me not too long ago. I knew 13/14 as well from this video.
How come is it after I tried these tricks on the video does my Gameboy cartridge not let these work it is virtually impossible for the menu to come up when they spot me I've tried it 5 times if anyone couldn't like me or should we fat check or youtubers we watch cause it seems fake when the game doesn't let me do it
@@saiyanfamily7608How??
@Jake Drought you will have to look it up but it is easy and has to do with turning the game off in the middle of saving. When you start a new game you will have the mon from the last game and oak will give you another.
The evolution stones glitch would be EXTREMELY useful in gen 2. Too bad it’s in gen 1, where you can just buy every stone you need
Facts I wonder why they took it away in gen 2
In gen 2 you could do a save glitch that made my life VERY easy with stones
Cool stuff. My weirdest thing was that i caught a machamp and later found out that its impossible. So that was a glitch lol
Man... by this day I still learn new shit about the broken Gen 1. Never heard or knew the evolution-stone trick. Would have been useful back then damn...
I must have been a notorious A button presser bc I remember a few of the characters moonwalking backward and wondering why some did that and some didn't 😂
Yeaah me too! 😂
I had a Fearow turn itself into a ditto once. It used mirror move on my mew after I had it use transform, so it transformed into itself. I decided to catch it, and when I did. It said that ditto was caught and it turned into a ditto.
I remember having a friend that told he knew how to get a shiny blue mew and as he showed me how he did I was mind blown and I could've never done it myself! The first glitch you did remind me of it kinda crazy how there's hidden tricks to these games I feel they kinda did it on purpose to bring out the intellect in us.
Played so much gen 1. These are crazy. It's Impressive how ppl still find all these crazy glitches.
I did know the invisible PC one, pokedoll, surf on statue one, the viridian forest glitches are pretty and fun. Didn't know the prof oak fight. Safari zone glitches are crazy too
fun fact: i know all these glitches cause i love this game
Where should we mail your award?
Wow
@@williamkrause5585 i don’t need any awards or anything i have my diploma for catching 151 pokemon
Wow... Looking Back At My Old Comments, I Sounded Like A Spoiled Bitch...
I don't think giving the pokedoll to Marowak was an exploit, I think it was intentionally programmed as an alternative option. It was in all the guides for the game when it came out
Nah, the pokedoll was a way to escape battle with a wild Pokemon. It wasn't intended to get past the ghost.
@@chipan9191 what makes you think that?
@@KamikazeCommie501 because the normal function of the doll is to flee wild battles. Normally if you flee the ghost battle it won't go away, but when using the doll it will consider the battle as won despite the fact that you fled. This tells you that it's likely a glitch.
@@chipan9191 That's what makes me think it was intentional though. The doll didn't function normally so it would have to be programmed that way, imo. It could be headcanon thinking they made an alternative way but I just think it's too specific to be a random glitch. It's a way to make the ghost feel better without battling it lol doesn't the pokedex or some in game text say Marowak lost its child or something? Giving it a pokedoll makes it happy
@@KamikazeCommie501 it's not the doll that doesn't function normally, it's the ending of the battle that doesn't function normally. The doll actually functions exactly as it should. What likely happened is that they have that end battle sequence designed for when the battle ends, but they also have a sequence for when you flee where it makes you step back and the conditional battle remains. Well it probably doesn't consider using the doll as fleeing, so it instead does the victory battle sequence. This can similarly be achieved if you find a way to end a trainer battle without defeating the Pokemon. Since you aren't given an option to flee, ending a trainer battle by any means will consider it a victory even if those means don't involve defeating the Pokemon.
The other thing to consider is it's unlikely that Game Freak would have put in such a large shortcut in the game. Normally you'd have to go to Celadon and beat the entire team rocket hideout under the game corner to get the Silph scope in order to progress through the tower. And dialogue from Giovanni will be as if you went there first even if you skipped it.
If you combine Mew glitch with exp under flow glitch you can actually do the level 100 glitch on Mew. It’s great
Except that they learn no new skills unless you use TM/HMs
"So normally when you leave Celadon City" jumps over Snorlax like nothing.. LOL
I love how much of this are actual speedrun strats :3
you can easily do a very similar thing, and get your lvl 100 Nidoking before Brock in both Red and Blue also. Just a little harder to set up.
Easily do it with some hard set up!
@@joshwekony8861 it's still easy, just takes a few tries to get your poison damage to trigger right in front of a trainer to get the glitch to work. Easy, but not as easy as in Yellow
Um...red and blue DOES get Nidoking. You just have to find a certain level rattata right outside of Viridian forest and lower it's attack to -6. I did it on an emulator and was under the impression you couldn't do it on yellow lol
I love how the first one sounds _exactly_ like the insane methods you hear about from your friends at school, and yet, knowing how the game breaks itself it's entirely viable.
Dude lands a standing 900 down a ledge on a bike, and the announcer calls it a 360
How can you mention the surf+statue glitch and the SS Anne but not the glitch that lets you get back onto the SS Anne
last one's hilarious lol
The weird path the game forces you on has the purpose of making the region feel bigger and more complex than it actually is
4:21 The map for the missing town was found in the leaked source code, as part of an early, WIP version of the overworld. It has the truck, though it's speculated the map was actually a revision of Pallet Town, using this town slot for scratch space.
5:00 Judging by the way the towns appear to have originally been designed, it seems like Celadon was originally gonna be the port town.
5:14 A later revision of the overworld suggests that at one point, there was going to be an additional Underground Path linking Route 5 to Route 7, likely to have a way to bypass Saffron for as long as possible, because Silph Co was originally also going to be the site of the Pokémon League, which would have been underneath, with each floor being based on each of the game's dungeons, culminating in Lance's room where the Elite Four and Blue would all be gathered together.
I cheesed yellow with a dugtrio fissure using an accuracy x 😋
Why?
Why?
Cause im cheap
Cheats not secrets
Yeah the first two are just glitches. Refuse to watch the rest of the video now.
been playing since yellow in 99 and i never knew any of these. massive props for this video
That level 100 Nidoking Easter egg is peak boundary break technique
You can get Nidoking in Viridian Forest in Red/Blue as well. It's just WAY more tedious and barely worth it.
Also, that spin was definitely not 360° looked like just over 4 full spins. That's a 1440!
BMX star red joins the fight
Some games are held together with duct tape and glue.
Gen 1 is held together with saliva and prayers.
from zombies to pokemon, it's always good content dude!
Thanks :)
Can you do this one from gen 5? I just found it out and I am not sure you have covered it!
Losing no Hp in your very first fight (typically done by replacing the starter with a ghost type) grants you a special message from Cheren after healing Bianca's Pokemon: "It's amazing that you won without your pokemon losing any energy, which is called HP. But you used some of the moves' power points, or PP, though."
... "secrets" starts out with a literal bug/glitch.
that's not a secret. secrets are intentional. name your video right.
The 360 walking and bike was insane!
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :)
Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu.
Once upon a playthrough of Blue I was able to get back into the dock area SS Anne departs from and surfed to the island with the truck. Since I didn't even know how I did it I only had a pkmn with surf and not strength. I guess years later it's fairly common knowledge the truck wouldn't move despite everyone having said it does and that Mew was under it.
The island with the truck for sure exists.
