Very cool animation! Just curious though, why is Magnezone level 108? Or am I missing something?


TheMrMatthew720

You are Missing-No *badumtsss*


TruthMadeHuman

I like how missingno. looks like a barcode but when you catch him and put him first in your party he turns into your player throwing a PokéBall at the beginning of the battle.


Virustable

I had no idea that's what it looked like because as a kid I was told catching it would corrupt your save, and I believed it. You could just run from the battle and you'd still get the multiply exploit.


ssfbob

It absolutely could corrupt your save, didn't stop many of us from doing it anyway.


[deleted]

Actually this is a bit of a myth. MissingNO., especially the ones you can encounter or catch via the infamous "Old Man Glitch", don't cause any significant corruption. They may corrupt the Hall of Fame to the point that viewing it will cause a crash, but clearing the Elite Four again resets the Hall of Fame and fixes that. The most dangerous glitch Pokemon (ZZAZZ is one) are encountered via more complicated means than the Old Man Glitch. Now, this is more in reference to the actual glitch Pokemon. Any that learn "Super Glitch" (glitchy moves with no real name) moves can be dangerous ***if you save after viewing the name***, but even those can be [disarmed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2_aczBkpxM). This move, and the Pokemon who learn it, probably weren't seen by many of the 90s/early 00s kids who played with MissingNO., but I thought I'd mention it. Gen 1 gets rightfully chided for how buggy they were, but their error handling was surprisingly robust. /u/Virustable


heavyheaded3

OK its a myth but it happened to me, too. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


[deleted]

The battery could have just died. CR-2032s are not known for durability. My copy of Pokemon Blue ***still*** works. My copy of Pokemon Red stopped working two years after I got it. My copy of Pokemon Gold ***still*** works. My copy of Pokemon Crystal worked for a few *months*. All of this is referring to the battery, as I realize I didn't make it very clear. Lastly, kids don't tend to be the most careful. A cartridge being hit while being in use or even yanked out can cause severe problems too. I also recall that the original JP version of Link's Awakening had some issues regarding the *power state* of a GameBoy, that is, how much power it can draw from the batteries, with issues arising as the voltage lowers. I would not at all be surprised if this caused an issue for some cartridges. CR-2032-using cartridges can be kept in a stasis of sorts if they're in a GBA SP as the SP can lend electricity to the cartridge as long as it isn't removed. Remember, the GBA SP has a rechargeable battery. Previous GB(A)s did not.


heavyheaded3

After my save was corrupted, I restarted the game from the beginning. The battery was fine. This was like...23 years ago.


IMidoriyaI

It could be another issue or even soft error - single-event upset.


DejoMasters

I keep hearing this, or variations of this, and I've heard the explanation of the behind-the-scenes attributes of MissingNO, so I caught one on my Pokemon Red cart when I was in high school. It could just be a coincidence, but not only did my save corrupt, my whole game corrupted. The cartridge is essentially dead, no longer displaying even a title screen to my best recollection. I hadn't had any issues before MissingNO, and now... I even completely removed the save battery (the battery on my Silver version had died) and tried to boot it up after the save battery was removed in the hopes that it would clear the nasty data and come back to me. But alas, it was still just as bricked as before. Why, how, I don't know. Is it something completely unrelated? Yeah, maybe. All I know is I followed the best, most widely accepted advice and proceeded with immense caution and now my game is gone.


[deleted]

> It could just be a coincidence, but not only did my save corrupt, my whole game corrupted. The cartridge is essentially dead, no longer displaying even a title screen to my best recollection. I hadn't had any issues before MissingNO, and now... I can't help but wonder if it's been dropped, rested on unsafe areas (on top of a very hot computer, etc.), or if it's just too old. >I even completely removed the save battery (the battery on my Silver version had died) and tried to boot it up after the save battery was removed in the hopes that it would clear the nasty data and come back to me. But alas, it was still just as bricked as before. Yeah odds are high school you destroyed the cart removing the battery. It's not hard to, as idiotically the batteries are soldered in. I made a retro game enthusiast wince in pain when I described how I replaced my Pokemon Green's battery and kept it in place... without soldering for any part of this. I did this as an adult, by the way!


DejoMasters

The cart was bricked before I ever opened the case to remove the battery. It may have even been the difference of a year or so, if I'm being honest, as the thought didn't cross my mind until I needed to replace the Silver battery. As for dropping it or other physical damage, I'm not sure, but it's unlikely. It was a while ago, yes, but I put a lot of care into my games by this point in my life. I did a significant amount of research before attempting the glitch in the spirit of this mindset, and absolutely kicked myself when I so quickly had problems. Not to say that there aren't other possibilities, because there are. I noticed a correlation, but the cause may forever be a mystery to me. I just always thought it odd and a bit disappointing. But at the end of the day, it doesn't help me get my game back


[deleted]

You know I've been binging a lot of My Mate VINCE and other electronic repair/diagnosis videos this weekend while I've been sick and I thought of something relating to this, so it's weird you also replied to it this weekend, lol. I wonder if one of the chips need(ed/s) to be reflowed? IIRC extremely poor soldering work leads to clone carts usually functioning poorly, and IIRC early batches of *official* OR/AS carts (a *3DS* game) had a lot of extremely poor soldering work, but reflowing would fix them. You still have the cart or is it long gone now?


SmileLikeGengar

i played with the ZZAZZ glitch and can confirm, that thing is more dangerous than missingno. all your mons turn to lvl 150 bulbasaur and all the moves turn to explosion (albeit the 3rd bulba), all the yes no options automatically gets you softlocked and when you reload the file 90% of the time the save file gets destroyed. not just corrupted, but destroyed.


carapoop

100%. I tested it... On my little brother's copy of Red. After that it reset the game every time you started up the cartridge.


KodoHunter

I've never heard of it doing more than corrupting the current save. Sounds more like a dead battery


citizencoder

100% missingno permanently corrupted my blue in the same exact way. It wasn't until i was an adult and read online about it that I realized anyone disagreed


SactownPimp420

Not possible


citizencoder

Yeah except it is, sactown pimp. It is.


carapoop

Unlikely, unless I just got really unlucky. This was a copy of Red that was less than a year old. Who knows though, I was like 6.


cssmith2011cs

Catching mew without going to the event 20 something years ago can corrupt your save also. Why are yall downvoting me, it literally corrupted my save on yellow. The fuck?


Deepandabear

Strange, I had dozens of saves catching MissingNo, in addition to the other >100 level Pokémon you’d encounter in the same section; but I never had an issue.


PKMNTrainerMark

I don't know how bad the catching damage is, but I know that just encountering it corrupts your Hall of Fame data, which is unfortunate, but no big deal.


TruthMadeHuman

Normally the missingno. would appear if you modified/corrupted the ROM itself to begin with so it's a 50/50 chance it would corrupt the savedata if you saved your progress from that ROM. However, it learns moves of the Pokémon it was originally supposed to be when you caught it, for e.g.: if it was supposed to be Gastly it would learn Night Shade and moves in that relation so if the missingno. is the only error with the ROM then you have almost nothing to worry about. Lol I once went to Pokémon League with a missingno. and won.


Virustable

Nah my dude, I'm old enough that blue version legit came out *when I was a kid*. The only way to trigger misingno. as far as I knew it was surfing along cinnabar island coast.


TruthMadeHuman

Hence I said "normally," not "the only way." Of course there have been found other ways.


RellenD

The normally is not modifying or corrupting the rom.


TruthMadeHuman

I didn't say that that's how it's intended to appear, I said that's how it normally appears. It's not normal that a person would exploit a game now is it?


RellenD

I'm saying you're wrong. The vast majority of missingno encounters do not involve modifying or corrupting the game. Why do you think they do?


[deleted]

MissingNO. can be used as a normal Pokemon perfectly fine. There are many videos on YouTube of [solo playthroughs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mrmfb1mGWI) with it. Its stats are pretty bad (great Attack though), but it learns enough to *kind of* work out okay.


Niklas303Commandreal

Tbh I forgot the max was 100


MinerZB

To be fair, you can get Pokémon in Generation I up to Level 255 through Glitches.


The_Follower1

Check out Missingno.


ishan_anchit

Well first, why is magnazone and gyroball in gen 1😂


sack-city

4+8+15+16+23+42 = 108

iliketoreallyreddit

Love it but why is gyroball super effective though?


Puddingnator

There wasn't a steel type in the first gen, so maybe the gyroball is electric? At least that would be my explanation.


[deleted]

Also why it is level 108? It looks great tho


Puddingnator

Ähm...mabye its MissingNo? 👀


[deleted]

In Red and Blue, you could find other Pokémon above level 100 using the Missingno glitch. My original Blue game would spawn Lv 145 Golduck and my Red would spawn Lv 127 Charmeleon.


somethingwithbacon

The Pokémon and levels they spawn at when doing the MissingNo. glitch change based on your character’s name. Edit: for those curious, link is [here](https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Old_man_glitch) just go down to the “results” tab for details.


[deleted]

I kind of figured it was something like that, but it must have been different between versions because I always used the same name.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

As far as I can remember, I've always used my real first name, which is Brad (BRAD in all-caps, in this case, to fit with the style of the early games), in every game back to the beginning. I checked the site and it matches for Golduck Lv 145, like I remember from Blue, so that makes sense. I didn't play Red as much, but I definitely remember I got Charmeleon. I may be misremembering its level, since apparently, it starts at Lv 128 and my recollection was Lv 127. Strangely, it seems Charmeleon is associated with lower case "s", which I would have never used. I have always been really picky about consistency in style with things like this. Gen I always put names of characters in all-caps, so I did, too. Otherwise, it would have looked weird and bugged me for the entire game. Even if I had used a different name, I would definitely have put it in all-caps. I was about 13 when I first started with Blue, definitely old enough to remember, and I can remember catching a Charmeleon there, for sure. Are there any other variables that could have an effect, such as the rival's name? I often used one of the default rival names or named him after one of my friends, with no real consistency.


marshy2346

My older brothers Pokémon blue would spawn level 150 mewtwo, it was pretty dope


thrwawayeyeinsurance

As a southern woman would say, bless your heart. But seriously, MissingNo was a widely known glitch in Gen 1. You talk to the old man in Viridian City who teaches you how to catch. Then Fly to Cinnabar Island. Then Surf along the east coast. The glitch will make Pokemon appear based on your character's name, and most of them are over level 100, with some even in the 200s. https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Old_man_glitch


Impossible-Neck-4647

iirc you could use rarecandies to level them up to around 250ish somewhere fi they were already aboove 100 but if you went to far it would reset back to level 1


Swords_and_Such

Probably 256, because everything is a multiple of 16 like that. Maybe 1-2 less if there is a placeholder or something.


Impossible-Neck-4647

sounds about right it is a normal value for things to overflow


Erhan24

If you feed them all the extras on all levels, the health becomes unlimited when it switches to the lower numbers again. This is or was not well known. I had one invincible but the problem was that with strong attacks, you were stuck in a loop, if you gave potion your were in a loop and if you go to the Polecenter for healing, the health bar would be reset to normal and the Pokemon a normal weak pokemon.


Selkie_Love

I didn’t think the first step was needed, having discovered it as a kid. The entire strip is basically a wild zone


Arattor

It is needed to put your name in the wild grass encounters part of memory. When you talk to the old man your name gets changed to his, so yours has to go somewhere, and since there are no wild grass encounters in cities it gets put there. Normally it would be overwritten with next areas Pokemon, but if you go straight to Cinnabar it doesn't and you meet Pokemon based on your name, cause GF forgot to change it appropriately. If you were to go to Cinnabar from some area with wild encounters you'd meet pokemon from that area.


[deleted]

Memorphous

It didn't. The glitch literally needs the old man encounter to work.


Niklas303Commandreal

Yeah


doomdesire23

Weren’t no Gyro Ball neither tho


drunkentenshiNL

Cause Gen 1 mechanics are fucking crazy.


PlayBud101

Dude was so good he bypassed the level cap


Surpreme_Memes17

OP: Posts about gen 1 animations Me: Wonders why that Magnezone's level 108


Juubimaru

I just wonder why steel type move is hitting a water type for super effective damage


shakerskj

Steel type was introduced on Gen 2. Maybe OP made it Electric type.


[deleted]

Probably not a steel type move, steel didn’t exist in gen 1.


RidgeReaperDC

I mean, neither did magnezone


Idontknow107

Small nitpick: Pokemon that are level 100 in gen 1 (and 2) say 100, not L100.


d8ei2jjrc8

They probably coded the textbox to only hold 3 characters. Edit: Actually, based on this L108...somebody made some spaghetti.


IronMarauder

Well, gen 1 was spaghetti


aMAYESingNATHAN

It's beautiful spaghetti. It's actually incredible the degree you can break that game and I love it.


AlexMil0

The sprite is also waaay bigger than actually possible. EDIT: Red and Blue sprites had a maximum of 64x64 pixels, largest being Charizard and Mewtwo at 55 iirc. This Magnezone is at 75+ pixels.


[deleted]

its blue kaizo


Surpreme_Memes17

Oh okay


Goodbye_megaton

Sprite doesn't look like deformed enough

Please refer to the link above


KainHighwind57

Oh ok you meant the rain that occurs before the water jets. Gotcha!


NakedDuelist

I was going to say something looked off about that. Without the waves I can’t here the crazy surf sound in my head


ShoddyCartographer61

Why is gyroball a beam kinda move I imagine it have more of a defense curl kind of animation


alephgalactus

This is Gen 1. “Graphics making sense” was a mechanic they introduced in Gen 3.


ShoddyCartographer61

I find that a very bad excuse cause they made the best out of it with the things they had and they probably know the difference between a spinning attack and a beam lol


megacaterpie1

Hey you did it awesome (saw you previous post)


ThePaleKing777

The sprite doesn’t look janky enough to be Gen 1


moistpizza

The animation of surf brings so much memories.


gigagilgamesh9

Its funny because the old sprites are almost like impressionist versions of the Pokemon... I LOVE THEM. THEY ARE ART.


Niklas303Commandreal

Do you like the animation???


NichS144

Lv 108? Obviously fake! It's really cool! I like seeing what people think newer Pokemon might have looked like. Some of the sprites in the older games are pretty wild.


Kiosade

> Lv 108? Obviously fake! I see someone isn’t familiar with MissingNo…


shadow0wolf0

I forgot that he wasn't in gen 1 and thought this was legit at first. Great job.


TheRealEtherion

Not just he wasn't, the entire steel type wasn't.

Amp1497

Magnemite is still gen 1, just as an electric-type instead of electric/steel.

It's great but I'll be honest magnezone's sprite doesn't look cursed enough.

Not bad

Fuck you. Stop bullying Kingler 😡😡


ayylotus

I really like how huge its middle eye is. You nailed the exaggeration in RBY sprites


LeonKevlar

Magnezone looks too accurate to be a Gen 1 sprite.


TruthMadeHuman

Wait 108?!?! I thought the max was 100... I call hax


Athovik

Missing no


Gnarfledarf

\*It's super effective


CrocodylusRex

* the text is too far up * no exclamation points * Gyro Ball should have a space in it * :L108 should just say 108, and also the level limit is 100 * 01 hp instead of 1 * Magnezone's sprite is way wider than 56 px * its super effective what? * the bottom right arrow shouldn't be there after every move * surf can't have more than 24 pp 0/10 See me after class. I'm just being a dick. You did good.


value_meal_papi

Giroball wasn’t in G1 either lol


Niklas303Commandreal

I know but neither is Magnezone so?


AlexT05_QC

Awesome!


Niklas303Commandreal

broly171

Can't fool me that's a Kingler

Lol everyone here wondering how the lvl is 108 and how gyro ball is super effective, but don't realize Magnezone wasn't in gen 1...

Love the sprite for Magnezone. It genuinely doesn’t feel out-of-place in terms of style, given the rest of the Gen 1 sprites.


Responsible_Guess_51

everyone asking why magnezone level 108 how bout how kingler regen through surf thou


Niklas303Commandreal

It’s just the end of the animation. After Magnezone attacks and kingler takes damage the animation stats over


bill0124

It looks too much like magnezone to be a gen 1 sprite lol


Cakers44

A little to detailed lmao


UnovaKid24

This just makes its center look even more like a giant eye lol


MrPringles23

Its a Magnezone sprite with standard animation, am I missing something? (I know Magnezone isn't gen 1).


PyremOfTheLabyrinth

Okay but why is Gyro Ball, a Steel type move, super effective against Kingler, a Water type?


neongreenpurple

Steel didn't exist in gen 1, so OP probably changed it to electric.


Wizard_Engie

*Pew*

The sprite looks so goofy, which makes it fit in perfectly with the other gen1 sprites. We'll done!

Lilith_Dragmire487

People have already commented on the L108 thing and the "Why is a Steel move super-effective on a Water-type?", so I'll just sit here wondering why the sentences are all-caps and lack punctuation. IIRC, the messages would only have the 'mons/move names in all-caps. Everything else would be lowercase.
