"Q" - The Glitch To Rival Missingno (Pokemon RBY Glitch Explanation)

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but a logical explanation as to why Mewtwo has an animation for Fly is very simple: Metronome already allows any Pokémon to use any move, so they had to program that in. It's just that what you're doing isn't causing Fly to be used randomly. It's deliberate. Great video!

Don't worry. The rabbit hole goes WAY deeper than this :) 8F, which was mentioned in the video, for example, completely negates the need for a Gameshark... As it has the ability to let you program your own Gameshark in the game itself.

When you said merging Pokemon together, I thought you meant the Pokemon would be made glitchy amalgamations, but then I saw that I was wrong and you made a Caterpie really swole.

Man I remember using this glitch back in the day to teach fly to Scyther just to prove a point. Ain't nobody gonna tell me that Scyther can't learn fly.

'M is not the same as missingno. 'M is id no 000, while Missigno is one of the "empty" slots dispursed between the regular id no.s. They share a sprite and item duplication, but they are separate.

Fun Fact: Using these insane glitches you can obtain all of Gen 2’s Pokémon in Gen 1, and with a bit of work you can even send them to Gen 2.

The classic genre of Pokémon lore-glitch-theory discussion, deserving of study in its own right.

Another thing I remember about this "fusion" glitch is that those fusions or hybrids also have interesting properties when its comes to leveling them up. For example, i remember how I fused Lapras with Pikachu to make an "Aquachu". Pikachu with Ice Beam and Surf, colored blue, like "Pikablue". Aquachu was locked to I believe Level 92 as max level, due to the EXP number gaining oddity. Even if I reached level 100 with rare candies, the level would revert back to 92. And same goes for Laprachu. Yellow Lapras fusion. This case goes the other way around. I believe it went as far as Level 107 instead, but I dont remember from top of my head if and how levels reset on that guy. So my bad for being little less informative, but its simply been a decade since I was messing around with these. I honestly never tried fusing 2 glitchmons together to create some form of "Pokegods". Never thought of doing that as a kid heh, only now thanks to this video.

I remember being told about the cinnabar/old man/missingno stuff when I was a kid, and I abused it extensively. A couple of years ago, I read about the trainer fly glitch, which recommended using the long range trainer just outside Lavender Town. After, it said to fly to cerulean, and use a trigger on nugget bridge to initiate the encounter with the wild pokemon. It explained that you needed to have a pokemon with a certain special stat in a certain position of the party to trigger mew, specifically. It worked. I never heard about the hybrid glitch until now.

i remember showing a friend of mine the "beat the game in 0:00" glitch and the 255 pokemon you get given. i was showing her on my gamecube gameboy adapter thing so we were playing on the tv screen. i remember i showed her healing at a pokemon center and how we watched the screen slowly become corrupt with garbage from nurse joy attempting to heal all 255 /things/ i had on me. once healed, the PA came overhead and transported me into a glitch city. because we were still very young (like 13), we flipped and turned the gamecube off lol

So that's what this was. Years ago, I brought my old german Pokemon Red version to school and an older kid told me he knew of a way to get Mew, so I gave it to him and he showed us the process. Except we didn't know about the Special thing so we ended up encountering a Gengar. We thought we should have progressed further into the game.

There was a glitch where you could battle a glitch when battling another player via link cable. I encountered it only 1 time when I was younger. It was actually kinda creepy. I don't know how it happened but when attempting to battle, instead of my friend it started a glitch battle only on my end, His game didn't connect.

This has been the first video about missingno I’ve seen that actually explains the data behind the encounters. Amazing vid! (Edit): sorry to those who are upset that I don’t spend all my time watching every Pokémon YouTube video out there, thanks tho :)

I remember reading in an old videogame magazine that this glitch, along with Mew's, was the #1 responsible for the Pokemon craze that started in Japan back in the '90s. I used to think otherwise, but seeing how people from every age and walk of life can are easily enraptured by the magic of glitches and such small but interesting minor details (compared to the plot of the games in their entirety), in hindsight I believe at least a bit of this theory. (Super cool video, obviously.)

The fly exploit is like one of the only major glitches I remember commonly using as a kid, that and ISG in OoT and Majora's Mask

It's crazy how badly players can break these games with simple glitches. On my 3DS I used the Trainer "Fly" glitch to get a Mew using teleport very early on and playing Yellow with a Mew was awesome.

Mewtwo having it's own fly animation is so cool. Maybe a Mewtwo with fly was going to be in some sort of Japan giveaway so they coded it into the game.

Missingno: glitchy glitchy fun. 44Hy: where my big bro? Q: caterpie become murderer

Picard: Dammit Q what are you up to now?!

I don't know why, but glitches in games like this always scare me a lot for some reason. Anyways, I'm surprised you don't have many subscribers though the content in the video is outstanding. I appreciate when people take the time to research stuff like this!
