FAQ! Q: 7:13 "chief" isn't a culturally appropriated term! Why you do this?! A: Oh geeze I messed that one up hard. Uh oh! Bad research = bad! Okay so how did this happen? Well basically I only asked 2 questions before doing that part of the video, first "why is the word 'chief' in my Japanese localization? and 2 "will people get mad if I use the word 'chief' a lot?" The first part was "Japan adopted it from us." So that's easy enough, but for the second part the only thing I read was this article right here: "www.insider.com/native-american-offensive-racist-things-2020-1#racial-slurs-are-racist-no-matter-how-antiquated-they-may-be-5" And an article about how "chief" was being removed from business terminology in some settings. For some reason while editing, my tired brain must have jumbled the info up and drawn the wrong conclusion. However! The word "chief", while being reserved for Indian/Native American use, is actually European in origin! Specifically in the Gradual Enfranchisement Act in Canada, "Chief" was established as a legal term to specify which Native American leaders within tribes would be responsible for managing certain duties on the reservations and such. Source 1: www.ictinc.ca/blog/why-are-indigenous-leaders-called-chiefs Source 2: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradual_Enfranchisement_Act So! That word isn't cultural appropriation, but is apparently still not cool to sling around willy-nilly. I.... definitely should have looked into that further before trying to report on it though. That's on me for doing insufficient research. Sorry about that, I done goofed! Oopsie doopsie!!! Q: Where can I find that 'did you know gaming' video? A: The video is here: th-cam.com/video/esIL1W_QBns/w-d-xo.html If you'd rather read about it, you can find that link here; youtuberead.com/watch-ar/mew-s-origs-a-sry-secrets-rums Q: At 1:00 you mention the Pocket Monster Encyclopedia... have you read it? Do you own it? A: Nah, it's *very* rare and very expensive. Do You Know Gaming has a copy, and apparently they got it translated by the original translator who localized the first Pokemon, but as far as I'm aware, they've never shared it. (I hope they do someday though. It would be an amazing read). Q: Wait, how do I catch mew?!?! You never actually explained! A: The Mew Glitch, or the Ditto Glitch, is fairly simple, you can find it here: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_glitch If you're super far in the future, and that link is down but this video is up (???) the steps are: 1. Find a trainer facing up. (the gambler near lavender town, or the trainer near the top of nugget bridge both work). 2. Stand above them, just out of their sight and save the game. 3. Take one step down, into their line of sight and as you do, quickly press START to open the menu. 4. Fly or Teleport away 5. Find a *different* trainer on a different Route to walk toward you. For Mew I recommend the swimmer in Misty's gym. 6. (OPTIONAL) fight a ditto and have it use TRANSFORM on your pokemon. It will copy your Special stat, which will determine the pokemon you get when you return to the trainer you fled from. *do not fight any other pokemon/trainers after the ditto* For MEW you need a pokemon with a special stat of exactly 21. 7. Return to the area you initially fled from and the start menu should open automatically. Close it and catch the pokemon that appears. (If it wasn't a MEW, you either fought the wrong trainer, or had the wrong special). Q: Wait, if the coast only has like, 5ish missingnos, where are all the others?! A: See that Mew glitch, right above this question? You can use that to summon other, more exotic missingnos. Some of these are very dangerous, but some are also very fun. I'm particularly fond of the missingno summoned with a special of 192. Q: Bad Eggs, what? A: There's a glitch in Gen 2 called the Celebi Egg Glitch. It requires a Bad Clone which is obtained via turning off the power while the game is saving so that you can obtain a pokemon that's missing some of it's data. This "bad clone" can then alter the data of unhatched eggs through a very elaborate series of steps. Q: Wait, I'm confused, what does this have to do with Missingno? A: Oh yeah, so, when you trade with Gen 1 games in Gen 2, you enter something called the "Time Capsule." This Time Machine is supposed to have checks that prevent you from trading Gen 2 pokemon to Gen 1, which would cause a paradox, since Gen 2 pokemon haven't been invented yet. Bad Clones confuse the time machine, so it stops accurately performing that check, allowing you to send Gen 2 pokemon over to Gen 1. Since Missingnos are what happens when the game tries to read pokemon data from a non-pokemon slot, Gen 2 pokemon cause it to read from that corresponding slots.So for example, Kabutops missingno is hex B6. The pokemon in hex B6 for Gen2 is pupitar, so if you trade a pupitar to gen 1, it will be a Kabutop Fossil Missingno. Thus, if a pokemon cannot be caught because encountering it will freeze your game, the Time Capsule glitch becomes one of the only remaining work arounds without a hacking device. Q: I wanna go Missingno hunting!!!! Where can I start? A: I recommend either bulbapedia or Glitch City's Wiki. Here's the Glitch City link to the Glitchdex: glitchcity.wiki/GlitchDex Here's their list of Here's the list of pokemon available via the Time Capsule Expoit, in case you have a Gen 2 game lying around. glitchcity.wiki/Time_Capsule_exploit They do have an *absurdly detailed* breakdown of the "mew glitch" aka "the trainer escape glitch" available here: glitchcity.wiki/Trainer_escape_glitch#Special_stat_encounter But I find the Bulbapedia one to be more approachable, since they list the Stats that correspond to each pokemon right there on the page: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_glitch Aaand while I'm at it here's a link to their article on the old man glitch: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Old_man_glitch Q: Wait, did I just hear another voice on Spamton? A: That would be Gibby. I didn't even commission them that time, they just... gave me free Spamton audio? Oops!! You can throw Gibby your [Sweet Sweet Kromer] for more [TERRIFYING VOICES] over on their Kofi ko-fi.com/thegibbous272 Q: Who did that EPIC opening song? A: That would be Noxide, also known as Vincent Gray. He makes amazing custom audio of all sorts (not just video game covers) and would be delighted to take on your commissions here: ko-fi.com/vgraymusic Q: Why are you printing all your pokemon from Pokemon Yellow? Do you not own a copy of Pokemon Crystal? A: I do... but the battery died *just* as I was about to do that. I know how to change the battery of course, but cracking open a gameboy game takes a while, and I don't have the time for it, (yet!). Q: Will you print me a pokemon? A: Chaos Tiers get a free pokemon-print as their Chaos Physical Commission. So sure! Q: What if I don't want to be Chaos Tier? A: I mean... I guess if there's a strong demand for it, I could open some sort of commission system. In the meantime, if you're Determined enough, gimme a poke on Discord, and we'll discuss. Q: I want to join your Patreon and print off those sweet Missingnos, but I can't find your Patreon! A: Oopsie doopsie! Here is it: www.patreon.com/HalfBreadChaos?fan_landing=true Q: Pronouns? A: They/them Q: Why are your family random monsters? A: I picked the characters from the game that make the most sense and/or they identify with. Don't think about it too hard.
That was really interesting ^^ I loved the references all throughout the vidéo ^^ I would love to see videos about things other than Deltarune ^^ If you want, I plan to make a video game (but I can't code nor compose) with lots of 4th wall breaking mysteries, but without giving much information about what these mysteries truly so even if people discover these, they won't know what it's about.
the trainer needs to be able to see you from the maximum distance, from the edge of the screen. this is why it's possible to get a level 100 nidoking before brock in pokemon yellow.
Dude, your description of MISSINGNO. as this ancient eldritch being you must commune with and master in order to gain infinite power was _legendary._ I'd love a glitchdex video.
Dunno if this is what you’d be looking for, but I know there was a channel called missingnoxpert that’s archived his old glitch series’, I think I recall him going over all the different missingno’s in the games (yellow, blue, etc) but I could be thinking of a different series? Idk
your demon analogy works really well since you did do ONE thing wrong in the ritual and summoned another demon which you were terrified of because you didn't have the proper means of dealing with it
yeah, that would be awesome to see him do. also super happy the vids doing well so far, like he said in his last video, how well these videos do will determine whether he branches out to doing more then just undertale/deltarune stuff.
Gen 1 and 2’s weird glitches are so iconic. Cuz clearly they were some glaring oversights but it was so interesting to see why they happened and it was so cool they could be used to obtain things like the secret Pokémon Mew that was legit snuck into the games and hidden in the code (and unlike later games could be glitched to obtain unlike arceus (tho now it’s possible w/ a hotspot) and the silver floette from XY).
One of the most interesting facts (at least to me) is that the Glitch Pokemon change between Red/Blue and Yellow. Like, it's a completely different set between the two because the data changed so drastically between those versions. I could like, nerd out in this comment all day, these types of old school Glitches are very interesting to me, I'd love to see more videos like this one.
there's an ancient series on youtube called "let's glitch pokemon yellow" by missingnoxpert. it's really shit quality, but the information in those videos is top notch, and very easy to follow. the only caveats are being the mic quality is fine at best, and it's LONG. you sound like you might enjoy it :)
What's even more interesting is that Charizard M (Red and Blue) and Q (The evolved form of 44HY in Yellow) have the exact same thing, where you can essentially fuse Pokemon, specifically movesets and species. I for some reason remember doing Weepinbell + Moltres. And I remember watching a TH-camr called MissingnoXpert do the glitches in Yellow version. He did Pikachu + Lapras and nicknamed it Pikablu
They also change between languages as well as versions. P.S. If you wanna be known for something, help us document the learnsets of the Italian red/blue glitchmons
Toby must find these types of old school glitches/secrets interesting too, considering how much he shows love for them in UTDR. Between Gaster and the FUN events, the Tree Room & Weird Route in Deltarune, and Noelle's blog posts in the Spamton Sweepstakes, it could not be any more clear how much they had an impact on him and the development of Deltarune/Undertale.
Never knew that the Mew Truck Rumour originally started as a ‘broken telephone’ version of the actual Mew glitches I really like this video style of mixing personal experiences with researched information! Keep it up :)
Y'know, I've watched your videos for a while now, and with every new one you release, I'm continually amazed at how personal your delivery is. Text-to-Speech or no, it always resonates with me, and watching this video really made me realize the reason why. The time of playground rumors and arcade talk; that's what you remind me of. Like a friend who's just genuinely excited and curious about their discoveries. So keep being you, dude. No matter what you decide to cover, it's genuinely great.
@@HalfBreadChaos So in conclusion, we still can have mysteries, we just have to be a lot more creative with them, I'm sure making Spamton a cat will be very important to the lore 10 years from now when we figure it out.
@@clttr What was it? 999999-whatever years for the full game to release? In some blog post or whatever Toby made about Deltarune before making it? Or was it right after?
actually due to the gen 1 prototype leak, we now know that the Chief was supposed to use what we now know as Blaine's design. Blaine had the sprite of a partially bald army guy doing a salute, and this design can still be seen in the game's manual, his concept art and was also reworked into his anime appearance. I guess game freak figured it would be boring to have two gym leaders be army dudes and decided to repurpose the chief's sprite. if you ever read the manual as a kid and wondered why blaine looked different from his sprite then that's why
Hm that might be true of the sprite, but regarding the character himself, there's unused dialogue suggesting he was meant to be one of the side quests in the Safari Zone, before being left on the cutting room floor.
Even as a diehard pokemon fan, a diehard glitch and creepypasta fan, I never knew about all the weird distinct properties of alternate missingno's, or that story about the deliberate hiding of mew. And that description what missingno is such a fun take that I'm astonished I'd never heard before. I would LOVE a video cataloguing all the weird missingno types
calling them missingnos is a bit of a misnomer. they're plain glitch pokemon. there's currently an investigation on how "4 4"'s true cry is made, if you wanna try your hand
Yes and no, the word "Missingno" is an error handler the game generates in response to being unable to find the data for the pokemon. For example Mew is "Pokemon Number 151." Since all of these 'glitch pokemon' exist in the spaces without assigned pokemon data, I'd argue they're all 'missingnos' of sorts. But then, there isn't always a strong consensus for pokemon-glitch terminology. For example "the mew glitch" is also called the "trainer escape exploit," "the ditto glitch," "the interrupted trainer battle glitch" etc. Missingno also complicates things by being an actual game-generated name for *some* glitch pokemon but not others. For example the Fossil and Ghost Missingnos share an in-game name with Missingno classic, even though, from a coding perspective, M' Block has more in common with Missingno Classic than any of the fossil/ghost Missingno do. (similar sprite, stats, effects, moves). Since "Missingno" is the game trying to describe pokemon with missing-numbers/data, I choose to use "missingno" to describe all glitch pokemon generated as a result of lacking specific pokemon data. Partially because I can make a normal pokemon a 'glitch' pokemon with illegal moves using certain in-game glitches, so I desire a way to disambiguate.
@@HalfBreadChaos Well that's the thing, "Missingno." is the name given to (most) glitch pokemon in between species number 1 and 190. This name was clearly chosen by the devs because... it's a normal name. The ones outside the range were not given this title. Additionally, all of them bar the fossils were all given pokedex number 00. The pokedex number determines stats, starting movepool, sprite, and types, which is why they're all basically the same thing. These pokemon are also allowed to learn moves by TM, HM, and levelup that differs from the others, but... none of them actually learn any moves like that. Fossils I don't know what's going on. 'M by pure chance also has pokedex 00, that's the only reason why they're similar. It has an actual moveset as well. So in this case we have "regular missingno.s" (usually taken as a group, sometimes the individual ones are referred to by their index) and "fossil/ghost missingno.s", which perfectly describe every pokemon named missingno. There's no reason to extend this to all glitch pokemon. Also glitch pokemon are pretty commonly defined as a pokemon with a nonstandard species number, so that last part is irrelevant. There is total consensus on this one, check any resource.
I remember when I was a kid and TH-cam was a very different place, I found a video of Missingno. being encountered in Red and Blue. It completely boggled my mind. To that point I'd never even considered the possibility of glitch Pokémon. I remember trying a bunch of ridiculous fake guides to try and catch Missingno. myself in FireRed, and of course they didn't work. I ended up learning about all sorts of glitches, and found them super interesting. Not only that, but I was lucky enough to encounter and catch a shiny Pidgey and get Pokérus in Sapphire. All these things really made the Pokémon world seem to have endless possibilities to me back then. Now I've learned all about many of the different glitches and glitch Pokémon throughout the generations. Each of them have really interesting and unique effects. In Generation 3 alone, there's over 65 thousand unique glitch Pokémon, although they all look the same. That's more Pokémon then anyone could ever experience and document in their lifetime. Undertale's lore really gets my mind going just like it did when I was a child, and I think that's really cool.
i would love to see you do a series about glitch pokemon! this video feels almost... nostalgic for me? the atmosphere really reminds me of older videos talking about video game glitches that i used to watch religiously. at one point i wrote an essay on missingno for school, if that says anything, lmao great video!
@bonesrat how did your teachers react to the paper? What score did you get? COME ON MAN! YOU CAN'T JUST TELL US ABOUT THIS AND NOT SAY WHAT HAPPENED NEXT! Honestly, now *I* want to make a paper on MissingNo. That sounds like a lot of fun actually! Maybe not for school exactly, but just in general. The whole idea is just a fun thing to think about and will probably be a whole lot of fun to research, and oh boy, does Arceus know that research is usually the most boring, tedious, and time-consuming thing about papers/essays. MAN am I getting excited about this thing! I'm gonna cut myself off here so I don't start rambling *too* much. Thanks for the idea m8! (and pleaaase tell me about the reactions to your MissingNo paper- I don't want to be left in the dark here!)
@@Selena19973 i agree, i'm with you in the dark here with no clue because i've had teachers who welcome these ideas with open arms and also teachers who have said exactly that we need inspiration other than games
I know this isn't your usual content but I absolutely loved this video. When I was younger, I went through a phase where I was absolutely fascinated with Missingno, M, and the other fascinating glitches in the original Pokemon games. I was also terrified of them. This video made me incredibly nostalgic. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
Hearing about a cool Pokemon glitch, trying it out and finding a bunch of horrific meshes of sprites and text along the cinnabar coast is very creepypasta-esque and probably the closest we'll ever get to a real creepypasta
If you want information on glitch pokemon, why they look that way and a lot of other stuff, I would recommend Retro Game Mechanics Explained series on it!
I really enjoy that you decide to use text to speech and actually take your time to make sure its understandable and has normal cadence and pronunciation unlike those reddit TTS videos. I prefer it way more than silence because I can actually do something else, and I like the Pokemon content. Nice work!
Honestly, I don't mind this. While Pokémon isn't exactly something I'm into nowadays, It's nice seeing well scripted videos like this and Nick Robinson's video about the blastoise, and that's probably what I come to this channel for. Stay strong, bread
As someone who enjoys lost media/obscure facts, I'd love to see it. Do what you want! We'll support you. (also, I had no idea other countries were doing this... hopefully we can put a stop to it!)
Oh please do more dives into the wild world of Pokemon Red, that personal story was so heartwarming. Fun fact! Gym Leader Blaine has a different design in the manual, because his final sprite was the original design of the Silph Chief before he was cut!
I would personaly love a Gltich Dex Series. The concept of video game glitches always intreuged me, And Missingno was one of my favorite Ones. Plus, i really like the style and comedy you have in your videos.
Yesss Missingno was my first introduction to video game glitches which started a lifelong interest! I'd love to see videos over the glitch dex, but also other glitch videos! I love hidden lore, but there's something interesting about glitches- not meant to exist, not intentionally created, and yet there they are all the same!
I rarely leave comments since English isn't my first language and it's hard to find the right words. But I really love your Deltarune videos and seeing Pokemon on your channel was quite surprising. But it was a pleasant surprise, since I still love Pokemon. So I would definitely like to see Glitchdex series and other Pokemon related videos!
A glitch Dex would be an amazing series. I remember telling a friend in college about one glitch Pokemon named “Poké Poké”. The sprite was an scrambled amalgamation of Bulbasaur and… the Swimmer trainer class? It looked like it had Terminator eyes and appeared to be running toward you. The damn thing is terrifying.
Beta pokemon and unused pokemon are really fascinating and it's so cool to see one of my new favorite youtubers have the same specific set of interests I do
finally, my hours of screwing around with the buggy mess that is gen 1 becomes slightly useful! 2:30 so the trainer fly glitch is actually frame perfect, but it doesn't matter because in gen 1, you can buffer inputs 3:03 missingno jumps the count of the items in the bag up to 127, but that's a huge nitpick, nobody cares. 7:28 if you haven't seen the "explaining missingno's glitchy appearance" video from retro video game mechanics PLEASE watch it, it's fantastic & goes into so much depth. 7:38 god i love glitch pokemon. there's one in yellow that lets you merge pokemon into one with the other's moveset & stats or sprite. very fun. fantastic video, im just nitpicky. hope you're doing well!
Eheh yep, the sentence is "unlike the mew glitch, there are no frame perfect inputs" so the sentence does imply the mew glitch needs frame perfect inputs, but it's such a cluttered sentence I understand the confusion. "127" is also technically "above the item cap of 99" but yeah, I figured I didn't need to be specific since the glitch can be replicated infinitely anyway. Aaaand agreed! The pokemon merge glitch is my favorite missingno *by far.* If I ever revisit missingno on my channel, you can bet Q will be at the top of the list.
Oh man that music is so good! And I would definitely love if you did more videos covering variety of topics such as Pokémon! Especially with all the little undertale ties and references makes your videos so enjoyable to watch and I just love the content you make!
I love how your channel is this great quality mixed bag of wholesomeness in whatever interesting topic you’re doing. It’s so refreshing to see your style of video which just kinda seems like sitting down and talking with a good friend, hearing them go on about a funny thing that happened during their day. Keep up the good work, lad. I’ll be here, always happy so see what you post next.
I normally don't find glitches creepy (although I sure did as a kid) but that music was actually really creepy, especially since it was so unclear what it was & why it was playing. It was like a curse was being let out just from revealing that pokemon. I was super fascinated by glitches & unused content in games as a kid. I spent hours looking for secrets in Diddy Kong Racing because of the unused tracks, the unused space you can glimpse on the track select, the "To be continued." message at the end of Adventure 2, & the spot behind the waterfall where I could swear I glimpsed a secret lobby behind the wall when clipping the camera through it & could swear I remembered hearing the unused roaring dinosaurs track when I sat in a corner by the door. In hindsight, I think I just saw glitchy out-of-bounds visuals & my overactive kid imagination filled in the blanks with something more interesting.
I wanna say im super glad that you're diversifying your stuff so relatively early in your channel. It'll definitely lead to a longer overall channel lifespan, which is good for me since I love your videos uwu
If you did a deep dive, I would be glued to my chair. I had this childhood as well, so I was also fascinated by the glitch pokemon and glitch city back in the late 90s early 00s
I never was someone who delved deep into these sorta things on my own, especially because I didn't grow up withspookyness in games really, but I definately have a big appreciation for it. I always knew about Missingno, butthis video gave me a new appreciation for the phenomenon... THE SHEER FACT that there can be these intricate consistent things happening depending on previousactions, that it can all be documented... and rhat it for the kost part is actually seeable in the gameis mind boggling because... its all just jumbled up code in places where it shoulsnt be! Its goshdarn incredible! Anyway, I definately enjoyed this video, great stuff all around and I'd love to see more vids on other games Man...again... just the fact that all of that works not because it was designed that way, like in a lot of modern games (which i still live being done btw), but by sheer accident... thats some real spooky glitches right there, wow
interesting how the background of the lavender town theme sounds a lot like gaster's theme (down to the pitches) could toby have taken inspiration from there?
I've always wished Gamefreak acknowledged the existence of Missingno. officially in the games some way. It's a massive reason as to why Pokemon got so popular in the first place and it feels almost disingenuous to ignore it's existence, even though it was a result of shoddy programming.
I heard a rumor that there was an uncatchable Missingno. Easter Egg in X and Y back in the early 2010s. On Google+, no less. Was that true, or just a rumor?
@@peachymunmagenta It was _kinda_ true, there was a certain doorway in Lumoise City that, when viewed at a certain angle, seemed to have a Missingno.-shaped silhouette in it. But this being an intentional reference was debunked, it's just the result of you seeing the opposite entrance to another doorway at the other end of the map. There's probably a video somewhere explaining this so just look it up.
Yes I WOULD like you to talk about these Pokemon games! I love hearing your analysis and stories. And anyway, Deltarune Ch 3-5 is not coming tomorrow. Weird glitchy old Pokemon games are perfect to fill the spot.
Id love more obscure explained pkmn deep dives! You explain them very well! I've heard about a few of this but never understandable or explained why this happens in a way that's accessible. Loved it!
this is soooooo nostalgic LMAO i remember stumbling across missingno info in TRSRockin as like an 11 year old and being simultaneously fascinated and shitscared of all these glitch pokemon. now, as an adult, glitchhunting and speedrunning are some of my favourite experiences with video games and it's all thanks to missingno. would love to see you do more coverage of glitch pokemon in gen 1 -- or even other gens, if you have more to say! edit: GOD i fucking forgot how much of a jumpscare that godawful kabutops fossil is when it pops up in battle. never mind all that shit up there, i'm scared of missingno again.
I had a pretty rough day and watching this video helped take the edge off from some of the problems I had ongoing. I would also love to see you talk about some GlitchDex entries, I think it would be pretty neat to hear what you have to say about it!
I like how you used a Deltarune themed team with Pokémon that are somewhat similar to our favorite non catchable monsters. Like Gaster the Mew since they're both secret characters, Undyne the Goldeen, Kris the Parasect cause it's mind controlled by the mushroom just like Kris
This is one of the most well edited, incredibly well story-told videos I've seen in a while. Amazing work! I'd sacrifice myself to the eldritch glitch lords to see a glitchdex video on gen 1
Im actually kinda curious what your voice sounds like, but i respect your wishes to keep that under wraps, by the way you should change the dark brown outline of your character to a dark blue, it would look better with the hoodie's blueish gray
I would love to see more of these. I'm a huge fan of your Undertale/Deltarune videos but I'm also a huge pokemon nerd. I usually only hear a brief summary of Missing No. in a list of Pokemon mysteries. I didn't know there were so many! Cool stuff. I hope I get to see the occasional pokemon video from you.
I think this one of your best videos. It really feels like an old video and feels very relatable as I had game boy, I had similar experience with glitches with my game boy and they allways have been bizarre.
I know this is supposed to be a serious thing but the fact you have a Parasect named "Kris" is really fitting. like a fully taken over Kris. My guess is you named a Paras "Kris" because of the fact that while it is a Paras it is still fitting for control with the parasitic mushrooms, ie whoever the player in deltarune is.
I don't have any comment that hasn't been said before, but your style of writing really sticks out no matter what you're talking about, whether it's pokemon or Deltarune. I could listen/read your videos for an innumerable amount of time because you genuinely have such a great way with words. Please keep up your amazing work (obviously within your limits) because we really enjoy your dedication and presentation
This is probably one of my favorite videos on TH-cam. MissingNo. will always be my favorite Pokemon, and its nice for it to get some recognition besides "Hey guys, did you know of this weird quirky glitch in the original Pokemon games?" I love how you turned your discovery of "Chief" into a small realistic horror story, and I wish I could hear stories like this from everyone who discovered one of these horrifying beings on accident. Any ways, thanks for letting me rant a bit. I hope you have a good day, and I wish you good fortune.
You are exactly the person I would love to see cover in depth pokeglitch content! There are some fantastic channels that still cover it but they don’t all have the same mix of entertainment v details, and the simple explanations that you have. It would be super interesting to see what direction you’d take with the series as you always have an interesting viewpoint. Please :D
I would absolutely watch a glitch dex series, I love that type of stuff, anyways great video as of watching this (haven't finished yet, and maybe I should have saved this for tomorrow and not this night? Not sure yet)
Welp, the fact that this video was about glitches and the video itself got corrupted sure is something. This video is great, I wish you made a Glitchdex series, it would be awesome, especially with the text-to-speech voice. Just this video alone made me wish I could try it myself.
Wow amazing vid! I experienced missingno the same way, learning bout it from older cousins. I abused it for infinite rare candies and always kept a missingno after that. I didn't learn about all the weird variations and stuff till way later tho.
Dude the original pokemon has been talked about so much that I starve for any new content. I honestly thought I'd seen everything so a glitch dex would be cool!
This is still one of my favorite videos of yours- i would love that glitch dex series still lol. But you keep doing what you wanna do! Enjoy balders gate! And i hope the move goes well :D.
It's so cool seeing these glitch's! I know the game is old I personally would like to see a series. I still see references to MissingNo on the internet, and having a video like this help to explain what happened and why people cared about. Nice work
FAQ!
Q: 7:13 "chief" isn't a culturally appropriated term! Why you do this?!
A: Oh geeze I messed that one up hard. Uh oh! Bad research = bad!
Okay so how did this happen? Well basically I only asked 2 questions before doing that part of the video, first "why is the word 'chief' in my Japanese localization? and 2 "will people get mad if I use the word 'chief' a lot?"
The first part was "Japan adopted it from us." So that's easy enough, but for the second part the only thing I read was this article right here:
"www.insider.com/native-american-offensive-racist-things-2020-1#racial-slurs-are-racist-no-matter-how-antiquated-they-may-be-5"
And an article about how "chief" was being removed from business terminology in some settings.
For some reason while editing, my tired brain must have jumbled the info up and drawn the wrong conclusion.
However! The word "chief", while being reserved for Indian/Native American use, is actually European in origin! Specifically in the Gradual Enfranchisement Act in Canada, "Chief" was established as a legal term to specify which Native American leaders within tribes would be responsible for managing certain duties on the reservations and such.

So! That word isn't cultural appropriation, but is apparently still not cool to sling around willy-nilly. I.... definitely should have looked into that further before trying to report on it though. That's on me for doing insufficient research. Sorry about that, I done goofed!
Oopsie doopsie!!!
Q: Where can I find that 'did you know gaming' video?
A: The video is here: th-cam.com/video/esIL1W_QBns/w-d-xo.html
If you'd rather read about it, you can find that link here; youtuberead.com/watch-ar/mew-s-origs-a-sry-secrets-rums
Q: At 1:00 you mention the Pocket Monster Encyclopedia... have you read it? Do you own it?
A: Nah, it's *very* rare and very expensive. Do You Know Gaming has a copy, and apparently they got it translated by the original translator who localized the first Pokemon, but as far as I'm aware, they've never shared it. (I hope they do someday though. It would be an amazing read).
Q: Wait, how do I catch mew?!?! You never actually explained!
A: The Mew Glitch, or the Ditto Glitch, is fairly simple, you can find it here: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_glitch
If you're super far in the future, and that link is down but this video is up (???) the steps are:
1. Find a trainer facing up. (the gambler near lavender town, or the trainer near the top of nugget bridge both work).
2. Stand above them, just out of their sight and save the game.
3. Take one step down, into their line of sight and as you do, quickly press START to open the menu.
4. Fly or Teleport away
5. Find a *different* trainer on a different Route to walk toward you. For Mew I recommend the swimmer in Misty's gym.
6. (OPTIONAL) fight a ditto and have it use TRANSFORM on your pokemon. It will copy your Special stat, which will determine the pokemon you get when you return to the trainer you fled from. *do not fight any other pokemon/trainers after the ditto* For MEW you need a pokemon with a special stat of exactly 21.
7. Return to the area you initially fled from and the start menu should open automatically. Close it and catch the pokemon that appears. (If it wasn't a MEW, you either fought the wrong trainer, or had the wrong special).
Q: Wait, if the coast only has like, 5ish missingnos, where are all the others?!
A: See that Mew glitch, right above this question? You can use that to summon other, more exotic missingnos. Some of these are very dangerous, but some are also very fun. I'm particularly fond of the missingno summoned with a special of 192.
Q: Bad Eggs, what?
A: There's a glitch in Gen 2 called the Celebi Egg Glitch. It requires a Bad Clone which is obtained via turning off the power while the game is saving so that you can obtain a pokemon that's missing some of it's data.
This "bad clone" can then alter the data of unhatched eggs through a very elaborate series of steps.
Q: Wait, I'm confused, what does this have to do with Missingno?
A: Oh yeah, so, when you trade with Gen 1 games in Gen 2, you enter something called the "Time Capsule." This Time Machine is supposed to have checks that prevent you from trading Gen 2 pokemon to Gen 1, which would cause a paradox, since Gen 2 pokemon haven't been invented yet.
Bad Clones confuse the time machine, so it stops accurately performing that check, allowing you to send Gen 2 pokemon over to Gen 1.
Since Missingnos are what happens when the game tries to read pokemon data from a non-pokemon slot, Gen 2 pokemon cause it to read from that corresponding slots.So for example, Kabutops missingno is hex B6. The pokemon in hex B6 for Gen2 is pupitar, so if you trade a pupitar to gen 1, it will be a Kabutop Fossil Missingno.
Thus, if a pokemon cannot be caught because encountering it will freeze your game, the Time Capsule glitch becomes one of the only remaining work arounds without a hacking device.
Q: I wanna go Missingno hunting!!!! Where can I start?
A: I recommend either bulbapedia or Glitch City's Wiki.
Here's the Glitch City link to the Glitchdex: glitchcity.wiki/GlitchDex
Here's their list of
Here's the list of pokemon available via the Time Capsule Expoit, in case you have a Gen 2 game lying around. glitchcity.wiki/Time_Capsule_exploit
They do have an *absurdly detailed* breakdown of the "mew glitch" aka "the trainer escape glitch" available here: glitchcity.wiki/Trainer_escape_glitch#Special_stat_encounter
But I find the Bulbapedia one to be more approachable, since they list the Stats that correspond to each pokemon right there on the page: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_glitch
Aaand while I'm at it here's a link to their article on the old man glitch: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Old_man_glitch
Q: Wait, did I just hear another voice on Spamton?
A: That would be Gibby. I didn't even commission them that time, they just... gave me free Spamton audio?
Oops!!
You can throw Gibby your [Sweet Sweet Kromer] for more [TERRIFYING VOICES] over on their Kofi ko-fi.com/thegibbous272
Q: Who did that EPIC opening song?
A: That would be Noxide, also known as Vincent Gray. He makes amazing custom audio of all sorts (not just video game covers) and would be delighted to take on your commissions here: ko-fi.com/vgraymusic
Q: Why are you printing all your pokemon from Pokemon Yellow? Do you not own a copy of Pokemon Crystal?
A: I do... but the battery died *just* as I was about to do that. I know how to change the battery of course, but cracking open a gameboy game takes a while, and I don't have the time for it, (yet!).
Q: Will you print me a pokemon?
A: Chaos Tiers get a free pokemon-print as their Chaos Physical Commission. So sure!
Q: What if I don't want to be Chaos Tier?
A: I mean... I guess if there's a strong demand for it, I could open some sort of commission system. In the meantime, if you're Determined enough, gimme a poke on Discord, and we'll discuss.
Q: I want to join your Patreon and print off those sweet Missingnos, but I can't find your Patreon!
A: Oopsie doopsie! Here is it: www.patreon.com/HalfBreadChaos?fan_landing=true
Q: Pronouns?
A: They/them
Q: Why are your family random monsters?
A: I picked the characters from the game that make the most sense and/or they identify with. Don't think about it too hard.
That was really interesting ^^ I loved the references all throughout the vidéo ^^ I would love to see videos about things other than Deltarune ^^ If you want, I plan to make a video game (but I can't code nor compose) with lots of 4th wall breaking mysteries, but without giving much information about what these mysteries truly so even if people discover these, they won't know what it's about.
the trainer needs to be able to see you from the maximum distance, from the edge of the screen. this is why it's possible to get a level 100 nidoking before brock in pokemon yellow.
@@caseyleenb *nod* I miss Scykoh, his glitchquest videos were delightful.

Same What the hell is going on ??
Dude, your description of MISSINGNO. as this ancient eldritch being you must commune with and master in order to gain infinite power was _legendary._ I'd love a glitchdex video.
Same!
Dunno if this is what you’d be looking for, but I know there was a channel called missingnoxpert that’s archived his old glitch series’, I think I recall him going over all the different missingno’s in the games (yellow, blue, etc) but I could be thinking of a different series? Idk
Same
Japanese Blue version Missingno has a base stat total of 1066, only passed by eternamax eternatus and a couple hundred decamarks
Then it has 33 hp, 0 defense, 19 special and 20-ish speed.
your demon analogy works really well since you did do ONE thing wrong in the ritual and summoned another demon which you were terrified of because you didn't have the proper means of dealing with it
Despite not being a huge fan of the Pokémon series, I would definitely enjoy more coverage of the glitch Pokémon in the games!
Absolutley cover more Pokemon, or whatever you want to do, even its making more balloon animals.
Same; I dont care much about pokemon but the missgno stuff always had my interest as a child
yeah, that would be awesome to see him do.
also super happy the vids doing well so far, like he said in his last video, how well these videos do will determine whether he branches out to doing more then just undertale/deltarune stuff.
Gen 1 and 2’s weird glitches are so iconic. Cuz clearly they were some glaring oversights but it was so interesting to see why they happened and it was so cool they could be used to obtain things like the secret Pokémon Mew that was legit snuck into the games and hidden in the code (and unlike later games could be glitched to obtain unlike arceus (tho now it’s possible w/ a hotspot) and the silver floette from XY).
Yeah, I hate how people don’t care about PkMnaPkMnfPkMnk, but think purple background glitch pokemon is good for pvp
One of the most interesting facts (at least to me) is that the Glitch Pokemon change between Red/Blue and Yellow. Like, it's a completely different set between the two because the data changed so drastically between those versions. I could like, nerd out in this comment all day, these types of old school Glitches are very interesting to me, I'd love to see more videos like this one.
there's an ancient series on youtube called "let's glitch pokemon yellow" by missingnoxpert. it's really shit quality, but the information in those videos is top notch, and very easy to follow. the only caveats are being the mic quality is fine at best, and it's LONG.
you sound like you might enjoy it :)
@@caseyleenb I saw it when I was young, it's really good and informative.
What's even more interesting is that Charizard M (Red and Blue) and Q (The evolved form of 44HY in Yellow) have the exact same thing, where you can essentially fuse Pokemon, specifically movesets and species. I for some reason remember doing Weepinbell + Moltres. And I remember watching a TH-camr called MissingnoXpert do the glitches in Yellow version. He did Pikachu + Lapras and nicknamed it Pikablu
They also change between languages as well as versions.
P.S. If you wanna be known for something, help us document the learnsets of the Italian red/blue glitchmons
Toby must find these types of old school glitches/secrets interesting too, considering how much he shows love for them in UTDR. Between Gaster and the FUN events, the Tree Room & Weird Route in Deltarune, and Noelle's blog posts in the Spamton Sweepstakes, it could not be any more clear how much they had an impact on him and the development of Deltarune/Undertale.
Never knew that the Mew Truck Rumour originally started as a ‘broken telephone’ version of the actual Mew glitches
I really like this video style of mixing personal experiences with researched information! Keep it up :)
Y'know, I've watched your videos for a while now, and with every new one you release, I'm continually amazed at how personal your delivery is. Text-to-Speech or no, it always resonates with me, and watching this video really made me realize the reason why. The time of playground rumors and arcade talk; that's what you remind me of. Like a friend who's just genuinely excited and curious about their discoveries. So keep being you, dude. No matter what you decide to cover, it's genuinely great.
That reminds me of Toby Fox's message to dataminers: "We can't have mysteries anymore"
@@BlaxeFrost-X He said, before making Spamton inexplicably a *cat*.
@@HalfBreadChaos So in conclusion, we still can have mysteries, we just have to be a lot more creative with them, I'm sure making Spamton a cat will be very important to the lore 10 years from now when we figure it out.
@@chuckles2364 20 years from when chapter 3 comes out*
@@clttr What was it? 999999-whatever years for the full game to release? In some blog post or whatever Toby made about Deltarune before making it? Or was it right after?
actually due to the gen 1 prototype leak, we now know that the Chief was supposed to use what we now know as Blaine's design. Blaine had the sprite of a partially bald army guy doing a salute, and this design can still be seen in the game's manual, his concept art and was also reworked into his anime appearance. I guess game freak figured it would be boring to have two gym leaders be army dudes and decided to repurpose the chief's sprite. if you ever read the manual as a kid and wondered why blaine looked different from his sprite then that's why
Hm that might be true of the sprite, but regarding the character himself, there's unused dialogue suggesting he was meant to be one of the side quests in the Safari Zone, before being left on the cutting room floor.
@@HalfBreadChaos yeah I just meant his design
I didn't think listening to someone talk about missingno in current year could be entertaining, but this felt somewhat fresh.
Even as a diehard pokemon fan, a diehard glitch and creepypasta fan, I never knew about all the weird distinct properties of alternate missingno's, or that story about the deliberate hiding of mew. And that description what missingno is such a fun take that I'm astonished I'd never heard before. I would LOVE a video cataloguing all the weird missingno types
wait don’t increase your LOVE
calling them missingnos is a bit of a misnomer. they're plain glitch pokemon.
there's currently an investigation on how "4 4"'s true cry is made, if you wanna try your hand
Yes and no, the word "Missingno" is an error handler the game generates in response to being unable to find the data for the pokemon. For example Mew is "Pokemon Number 151."
Since all of these 'glitch pokemon' exist in the spaces without assigned pokemon data, I'd argue they're all 'missingnos' of sorts. But then, there isn't always a strong consensus for pokemon-glitch terminology. For example "the mew glitch" is also called the "trainer escape exploit," "the ditto glitch," "the interrupted trainer battle glitch" etc.
Missingno also complicates things by being an actual game-generated name for *some* glitch pokemon but not others. For example the Fossil and Ghost Missingnos share an in-game name with Missingno classic, even though, from a coding perspective, M' Block has more in common with Missingno Classic than any of the fossil/ghost Missingno do. (similar sprite, stats, effects, moves).
Since "Missingno" is the game trying to describe pokemon with missing-numbers/data, I choose to use "missingno" to describe all glitch pokemon generated as a result of lacking specific pokemon data. Partially because I can make a normal pokemon a 'glitch' pokemon with illegal moves using certain in-game glitches, so I desire a way to disambiguate.
@@HalfBreadChaos Well that's the thing, "Missingno." is the name given to (most) glitch pokemon in between species number 1 and 190. This name was clearly chosen by the devs because... it's a normal name. The ones outside the range were not given this title. Additionally, all of them bar the fossils were all given pokedex number 00. The pokedex number determines stats, starting movepool, sprite, and types, which is why they're all basically the same thing. These pokemon are also allowed to learn moves by TM, HM, and levelup that differs from the others, but... none of them actually learn any moves like that. Fossils I don't know what's going on. 'M by pure chance also has pokedex 00, that's the only reason why they're similar. It has an actual moveset as well. So in this case we have "regular missingno.s" (usually taken as a group, sometimes the individual ones are referred to by their index) and "fossil/ghost missingno.s", which perfectly describe every pokemon named missingno. There's no reason to extend this to all glitch pokemon.
Also glitch pokemon are pretty commonly defined as a pokemon with a nonstandard species number, so that last part is irrelevant. There is total consensus on this one, check any resource.
@@HalfBreadChaoshey awesome video, also I think that if you could cover 4 4 (or 4A 4) it would be great.
Honestly I don't really care what you upload your stupidly entertaining to watch so do whatever you wanna do my dude
I remember when I was a kid and TH-cam was a very different place, I found a video of Missingno. being encountered in Red and Blue. It completely boggled my mind. To that point I'd never even considered the possibility of glitch Pokémon. I remember trying a bunch of ridiculous fake guides to try and catch Missingno. myself in FireRed, and of course they didn't work. I ended up learning about all sorts of glitches, and found them super interesting. Not only that, but I was lucky enough to encounter and catch a shiny Pidgey and get Pokérus in Sapphire. All these things really made the Pokémon world seem to have endless possibilities to me back then. Now I've learned all about many of the different glitches and glitch Pokémon throughout the generations. Each of them have really interesting and unique effects. In Generation 3 alone, there's over 65 thousand unique glitch Pokémon, although they all look the same. That's more Pokémon then anyone could ever experience and document in their lifetime. Undertale's lore really gets my mind going just like it did when I was a child, and I think that's really cool.
i would love to see you do a series about glitch pokemon!
this video feels almost... nostalgic for me? the atmosphere really reminds me of older videos talking about video game glitches that i used to watch religiously. at one point i wrote an essay on missingno for school, if that says anything, lmao
great video!
Did you talk about why missingno appears and stuff? If you have it on a computer can you send a link?
@bonesrat
how did your teachers react to the paper? What score did you get? COME ON MAN! YOU CAN'T JUST TELL US ABOUT THIS AND NOT SAY WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!
Honestly, now *I* want to make a paper on MissingNo. That sounds like a lot of fun actually! Maybe not for school exactly, but just in general. The whole idea is just a fun thing to think about and will probably be a whole lot of fun to research, and oh boy, does Arceus know that research is usually the most boring, tedious, and time-consuming thing about papers/essays. MAN am I getting excited about this thing! I'm gonna cut myself off here so I don't start rambling *too* much.
Thanks for the idea m8! (and pleaaase tell me about the reactions to your MissingNo paper- I don't want to be left in the dark here!)
@@Selena19973 i agree, i'm with you in the dark here with no clue because i've had teachers who welcome these ideas with open arms and also teachers who have said exactly that we need inspiration other than games
YES THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT SUEDE!!! He was my favorite youtuber
The porygon line is my favourite Pokémon ever and mini-spamton petting Porygon just made day.
3:58 FINALLY SOMEONE THAT SEES THAT HIS EYES AND MOUTH ARE THERE
YOOOO SUEDE IS A FRICKING AMAZING TH-camR HE IS LIKE THE MOST HIDDEN GEM EVER I FEEL LIKE NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT HIM BUT HIS CONTENT IS VERY GOOD.
I know this isn't your usual content but I absolutely loved this video. When I was younger, I went through a phase where I was absolutely fascinated with Missingno, M, and the other fascinating glitches in the original Pokemon games. I was also terrified of them. This video made me incredibly nostalgic. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
Hearing about a cool Pokemon glitch, trying it out and finding a bunch of horrific meshes of sprites and text along the cinnabar coast is very creepypasta-esque and probably the closest we'll ever get to a real creepypasta
I would love to see more tea on this obscure missingno history! your videos are very entertaining!
If you want information on glitch pokemon, why they look that way and a lot of other stuff, I would recommend Retro Game Mechanics Explained series on it!
7:54 Honestly that sounds really interesting, I'd love to see a series on that 😄
agreed
I really enjoy that you decide to use text to speech and actually take your time to make sure its understandable and has normal cadence and pronunciation unlike those reddit TTS videos. I prefer it way more than silence because I can actually do something else, and I like the Pokemon content. Nice work!
Everyday is a good day when halfbreadchaos posts
Here from Egg Video. A glitchdex video in your style sounds absolutely sublime, count me in.
Honestly, I don't mind this. While Pokémon isn't exactly something I'm into nowadays, It's nice seeing well scripted videos like this and Nick Robinson's video about the blastoise, and that's probably what I come to this channel for.
Stay strong, bread
Love to see you branching out from Deltarune content in a natural way! Super excited to watch this one and see what comes next
As someone who enjoys lost media/obscure facts, I'd love to see it. Do what you want! We'll support you.
(also, I had no idea other countries were doing this... hopefully we can put a stop to it!)
My man, you've been bringing us quality videos so frequently, that I'm beginning to worry. It this even healthy?
Probably not, but I'm working on fixing that.
Please, take care
Video Unavailable: Would... would you guys believe the video about a Pokemon which Corrupts Files, Corrupted TH-cam?
it really seems like youtube never gives you a break. Hopefully this will be the last of the weird issues for you.
It is currently showing fine for me
it seems to be fixed already :D
@@iloNiki2078 Phew!
I'm so glad it's back. That was weird haha.
Oh please do more dives into the wild world of Pokemon Red, that personal story was so heartwarming.
Fun fact! Gym Leader Blaine has a different design in the manual, because his final sprite was the original design of the Silph Chief before he was cut!
I would personaly love a Gltich Dex Series. The concept of video game glitches always intreuged me, And Missingno was one of my favorite Ones.
Plus, i really like the style and comedy you have in your videos.
Yesss Missingno was my first introduction to video game glitches which started a lifelong interest!
I'd love to see videos over the glitch dex, but also other glitch videos!
I love hidden lore, but there's something interesting about glitches- not meant to exist, not intentionally created, and yet there they are all the same!
my newly fave youtuber does a video on my long-time favorite gaming creature from the depths!!? INCREDIBLE!!!!
I rarely leave comments since English isn't my first language and it's hard to find the right words. But I really love your Deltarune videos and seeing Pokemon on your channel was quite surprising. But it was a pleasant surprise, since I still love Pokemon. So I would definitely like to see Glitchdex series and other Pokemon related videos!
A glitch Dex would be an amazing series. I remember telling a friend in college about one glitch Pokemon named “Poké Poké”. The sprite was an scrambled amalgamation of Bulbasaur and… the Swimmer trainer class?
It looked like it had Terminator eyes and appeared to be running toward you. The damn thing is terrifying.
iirc that would be one of the many glitchmons that draw from sprites in memory, so it may take a bit of setup for it to take that specific appearance
Beta pokemon and unused pokemon are really fascinating and it's so cool to see one of my new favorite youtubers have the same specific set of interests I do
I love the way this video is presented and edited! :D
This is an amazing journey. Your sprite work and humor are always a treat!
This was actually really good and entertaining. I like to see more of things like this.
I would LOVE to repeatedly binge a deep dive on every entry of the glitchdex done by you
I'd love a coverage of glitch Pokemon! They've always been super interesting to me, though I never had the time to look into them myself.
finally, my hours of screwing around with the buggy mess that is gen 1 becomes slightly useful!
2:30 so the trainer fly glitch is actually frame perfect, but it doesn't matter because in gen 1, you can buffer inputs
3:03 missingno jumps the count of the items in the bag up to 127, but that's a huge nitpick, nobody cares.
7:28 if you haven't seen the "explaining missingno's glitchy appearance" video from retro video game mechanics PLEASE watch it, it's fantastic & goes into so much depth.
7:38 god i love glitch pokemon. there's one in yellow that lets you merge pokemon into one with the other's moveset & stats or sprite. very fun.
fantastic video, im just nitpicky. hope you're doing well!
Eheh yep, the sentence is "unlike the mew glitch, there are no frame perfect inputs" so the sentence does imply the mew glitch needs frame perfect inputs, but it's such a cluttered sentence I understand the confusion.
"127" is also technically "above the item cap of 99" but yeah, I figured I didn't need to be specific since the glitch can be replicated infinitely anyway.
Aaaand agreed! The pokemon merge glitch is my favorite missingno *by far.* If I ever revisit missingno on my channel, you can bet Q will be at the top of the list.
Oh man that music is so good! And I would definitely love if you did more videos covering variety of topics such as Pokémon! Especially with all the little undertale ties and references makes your videos so enjoyable to watch and I just love the content you make!
I love the phrase "my dark and unknowable old friend."
I love how your channel is this great quality mixed bag of wholesomeness in whatever interesting topic you’re doing. It’s so refreshing to see your style of video which just kinda seems like sitting down and talking with a good friend, hearing them go on about a funny thing that happened during their day.
Keep up the good work, lad. I’ll be here, always happy so see what you post next.
I normally don't find glitches creepy (although I sure did as a kid) but that music was actually really creepy, especially since it was so unclear what it was & why it was playing. It was like a curse was being let out just from revealing that pokemon.
I was super fascinated by glitches & unused content in games as a kid.
I spent hours looking for secrets in Diddy Kong Racing because of the unused tracks, the unused space you can glimpse on the track select, the "To be continued." message at the end of Adventure 2, & the spot behind the waterfall where I could swear I glimpsed a secret lobby behind the wall when clipping the camera through it & could swear I remembered hearing the unused roaring dinosaurs track when I sat in a corner by the door.
In hindsight, I think I just saw glitchy out-of-bounds visuals & my overactive kid imagination filled in the blanks with something more interesting.
I wanna say im super glad that you're diversifying your stuff so relatively early in your channel. It'll definitely lead to a longer overall channel lifespan, which is good for me since I love your videos uwu
Tbh would love more vids about missing no
If you did a deep dive, I would be glued to my chair. I had this childhood as well, so I was also fascinated by the glitch pokemon and glitch city back in the late 90s early 00s
I love your editing, so much passion & effort must go into it! Keep making videos about topics you're passionate about, they turn out amazing!
Dude I'd adore a series on different missingno variants, that's like a dream come true
I never was someone who delved deep into these sorta things on my own, especially because I didn't grow up withspookyness in games really, but I definately have a big appreciation for it. I always knew about Missingno, butthis video gave me a new appreciation for the phenomenon... THE SHEER FACT that there can be these intricate consistent things happening depending on previousactions, that it can all be documented... and rhat it for the kost part is actually seeable in the gameis mind boggling because... its all just jumbled up code in places where it shoulsnt be! Its goshdarn incredible!
Anyway, I definately enjoyed this video, great stuff all around and I'd love to see more vids on other games
Man...again... just the fact that all of that works not because it was designed that way, like in a lot of modern games (which i still live being done btw), but by sheer accident... thats some real spooky glitches right there, wow
interesting how the background of the lavender town theme sounds a lot like gaster's theme (down to the pitches)
could toby have taken inspiration from there?
Probably, Pokemon’s battle theme has a section that has bonetrousle in there, and part of sonic lost world’s ost has spider dance in it
i love how youre branching out content. so cool.
The funny thing is that lavender town has *gasters theme* in it
Edit: 0:33 top left corner...
Berdly
I've always wished Gamefreak acknowledged the existence of Missingno. officially in the games some way. It's a massive reason as to why Pokemon got so popular in the first place and it feels almost disingenuous to ignore it's existence, even though it was a result of shoddy programming.
I heard a rumor that there was an uncatchable Missingno. Easter Egg in X and Y back in the early 2010s. On Google+, no less. Was that true, or just a rumor?
@@peachymunmagenta I remember that rumor actually. I think it had something to do with somewhere in lumiose city.
I did see like this theory that the pokemon type null is the new missingno if i find the image I'll definitely show you guy's if you want
@@peachymunmagenta It was _kinda_ true, there was a certain doorway in Lumoise City that, when viewed at a certain angle, seemed to have a Missingno.-shaped silhouette in it. But this being an intentional reference was debunked, it's just the result of you seeing the opposite entrance to another doorway at the other end of the map. There's probably a video somewhere explaining this so just look it up.
i know this video is 10 months old but id really like to see that followup you were talking about someday. if you still want to make it of course
I would love to see a "Glitch-Dex" series where you show off interesting glitch pokemon and their equally interesting effects.
Yes I WOULD like you to talk about these Pokemon games! I love hearing your analysis and stories. And anyway, Deltarune Ch 3-5 is not coming tomorrow. Weird glitchy old Pokemon games are perfect to fill the spot.
I love just hunting mew as fast as possible in the kanto games
Id love more obscure explained pkmn deep dives!
You explain them very well! I've heard about a few of this but never understandable or explained why this happens in a way that's accessible. Loved it!
That glitchdex video/series you mentioned wanting to do sounds like it'd be really cool :)
this is soooooo nostalgic LMAO i remember stumbling across missingno info in TRSRockin as like an 11 year old and being simultaneously fascinated and shitscared of all these glitch pokemon. now, as an adult, glitchhunting and speedrunning are some of my favourite experiences with video games and it's all thanks to missingno. would love to see you do more coverage of glitch pokemon in gen 1 -- or even other gens, if you have more to say!
edit: GOD i fucking forgot how much of a jumpscare that godawful kabutops fossil is when it pops up in battle. never mind all that shit up there, i'm scared of missingno again.
4:09 I love the artwork for the part 😊
I had a pretty rough day and watching this video helped take the edge off from some of the problems I had ongoing. I would also love to see you talk about some GlitchDex entries, I think it would be pretty neat to hear what you have to say about it!
Glad the video is back! Rewatched (and commented) to help with the algorithm!
9:17 I cam't believe you named Parasect-the Pokemon that is controlled by the fungus on its back-Kris.
I guess you could say this video is missing, no?
Really hitting the'M with that one, huh?
halfbread my guy, i always remember hearing about misingno. i would be happy for you to make a full on glitchdex video.
I like how you used a Deltarune themed team with Pokémon that are somewhat similar to our favorite non catchable monsters.
Like Gaster the Mew since they're both secret characters,
Undyne the Goldeen,
Kris the Parasect cause it's mind controlled by the mushroom just like Kris
Oh my god, please please please do a Pokémon glitch dex series. This stuff is so cool.
4 minutes in, and I'm already in love with the way you are telling the story !
I just love the moment where you whip the Pokémon printer out 🤣 Who indeed! Thanks for the amazing video, it really brightened up my day!
I'd love to see a series with stuff like this!
I would LOVE watching a Glitchdex series! And I’m also 100% jealous of whoever got to catalog the different kinds of Glitchmons and their differences.
Just beautiful. This is a TH-cam video remake done right.
I would be absolutely terrified if I saw that as a kid too.
This is one of the most well edited, incredibly well story-told videos I've seen in a while. Amazing work! I'd sacrifice myself to the eldritch glitch lords to see a glitchdex video on gen 1
I'm a simple man. I see HalfBreadChaos video, I click
missingno really did not skip leg day nor arm day
Im actually kinda curious what your voice sounds like, but i respect your wishes to keep that under wraps, by the way you should change the dark brown outline of your character to a dark blue, it would look better with the hoodie's blueish gray
My guy, I'd love for you to cover whatever you want, because how you make your content is enough for me to check it out.
I would love to see more of these. I'm a huge fan of your Undertale/Deltarune videos but I'm also a huge pokemon nerd. I usually only hear a brief summary of Missing No. in a list of Pokemon mysteries. I didn't know there were so many! Cool stuff. I hope I get to see the occasional pokemon video from you.
I think this one of your best videos.
It really feels like an old video and feels very relatable as I had game boy, I had similar experience with glitches with my game boy and they allways have been bizarre.
Yes finally someone can go through the missingno’s
I know this is supposed to be a serious thing but the fact you have a Parasect named "Kris" is really fitting. like a fully taken over Kris. My guess is you named a Paras "Kris" because of the fact that while it is a Paras it is still fitting for control with the parasitic mushrooms, ie whoever the player in deltarune is.
I don't have any comment that hasn't been said before, but your style of writing really sticks out no matter what you're talking about, whether it's pokemon or Deltarune. I could listen/read your videos for an innumerable amount of time because you genuinely have such a great way with words. Please keep up your amazing work (obviously within your limits) because we really enjoy your dedication and presentation
This is probably one of my favorite videos on TH-cam. MissingNo. will always be my favorite Pokemon, and its nice for it to get some recognition besides "Hey guys, did you know of this weird quirky glitch in the original Pokemon games?" I love how you turned your discovery of "Chief" into a small realistic horror story, and I wish I could hear stories like this from everyone who discovered one of these horrifying beings on accident.
Any ways, thanks for letting me rant a bit. I hope you have a good day, and I wish you good fortune.
You are exactly the person I would love to see cover in depth pokeglitch content! There are some fantastic channels that still cover it but they don’t all have the same mix of entertainment v details, and the simple explanations that you have. It would be super interesting to see what direction you’d take with the series as you always have an interesting viewpoint. Please :D
I would absolutely watch a glitch dex series, I love that type of stuff, anyways great video as of watching this (haven't finished yet, and maybe I should have saved this for tomorrow and not this night? Not sure yet)
Id LOVE to see more pokemon videos, you clearly have a passion for it.
Welp, the fact that this video was about glitches and the video itself got corrupted sure is something.
This video is great, I wish you made a Glitchdex series, it would be awesome, especially with the text-to-speech voice. Just this video alone made me wish I could try it myself.
i would ADORE a glitchdex video and/or series!!! it'd be so cool to see. love your stuff, great work as always!
Wow amazing vid! I experienced missingno the same way, learning bout it from older cousins. I abused it for infinite rare candies and always kept a missingno after that. I didn't learn about all the weird variations and stuff till way later tho.
I don't know how I missed this video last year, but I've been on a huge Pokemen Gen 1 to 2 glitch binge. I'm so glad you understand the fascination!!
Curse my sleep schedule, I woke up to late! Well, happy to see a video about good ol' pokemans
Dude the original pokemon has been talked about so much that I starve for any new content. I honestly thought I'd seen everything so a glitch dex would be cool!
This is still one of my favorite videos of yours- i would love that glitch dex series still lol. But you keep doing what you wanna do! Enjoy balders gate! And i hope the move goes well :D.
It's so cool seeing these glitch's! I know the game is old I personally would like to see a series. I still see references to MissingNo on the internet, and having a video like this help to explain what happened and why people cared about. Nice work
