Can You Beat Pokemon Red and Blue Using Only a MISSINGNO? 

I’m just imagining little youngster Joey sending out a rattata and then staring into the eyes of God as this stranger sends out corrupted reality.

Imagine seeing someone going into the pokemon league with a QR code that throws bubbles, yeets triangles, and corrupts your code.

I love how MISSINGNO requires a lot of EXP to level up at the start. But when they get high up, they require less.

I love the idea that missingno is an reality-destroying monster but also dies if you so much as breathe on it too hard.

Missingno: *gets confused* Missingno: "Guess I'll die"

For reasons, instead of flying, I think missingno. glitches itself into the shape of a door, in which its trainer walks through to their desired location.

things were never the same with red after he found that…thing. he distanced himself from everyone else,only wanting to be with it. he barely even used his other pokémon,going so far as to quit a battle when it fainted. the creature bent reality to its will,sending whatever it touched into a distorted state not unlike its own. no one dared question red and his creature as he went though kanto,leaving corruption in his path. as he stood attempting to fight me for the role of champion,i tried to reason with him. “you’ve destroyed the entire region! cant you see you’ve only brought suffering to everyone you’ve challenged?” he just stared at me with that creature on his shoulder.even though it had no face,i could tell it was glaring at me too. “red..we don’t have to do this..we can find some way to fix this..we don’t have to fight.” but i could already tell there was no way to reason with him. he was already too far gone. so i swallowed my fear,readied my pokémon,and prepared myself for the fate i was about to meet.

I love how if you hit anything with missingno they just completely shred to pieces

“I ran into RU-vid, it feels like I’m constantly fighting this guy” Sounds like a metaphor for literally every content creator on the site.

Enimies: try to lower missingno's defence Missingno: joke's on you I'm into that crap

My first ever play through of yellow when I was 8 years old, I didn't know about the HM flash to light the tunnel and just thought I was supposed to go through it in complete darkness 😂 - no maps or anything just slowly bouncing off the rocks in the darkness until I miraculously made it out, lmao the amount of patience I had for stuff like that back then was astounding

20:25 Fun fact: Swift will still never miss in the English gen 1 games, as it bypasses the accuracy check and cannot be impacted by the 1/256 miss glitch, thereby rendering it the only true 100% accurate move in gen 1. It is, however, susceptible to the 1/256 miss glitch in all the Japanese versions of the gen 1 games, including Yellow, apparently, which seems pretty odd. But that's what Bulbapedia says, and that wiki is usually very reliable.

MissingNo: I'm strong! Caterpie: _Hoh?_ You're approaching me?

I have a theory: Missingno doesn't cut the trees, It just glitches them out of existence.

Missigno actually has his own Sound in Pokémon yellow when you encounter him.But that sh*t is creepy as hell

In Kanto, Red was just casually strolling through routes, looking for atleast a few shinies. But even after hours.. he had found none. He was thinking about giving up, but he didn't, he was determined to find one. But the next minutes, Red paused his shiny expedition. He heard something.. off. He couldn't hear the sound of him walking through bushes anymore, no rustling, no wind, nothing. But he can still hear his own voice. Other than that, he heard what seemed to be unrhythmic clicking. Curiously, Red took caution in approaching, and silently walked toward the mysterious sound. As he walked, be realized that there weren't any pokemon jumping out to attack. The clicking got louder and more unrhythmic, and there was a soft hum, a buzzing like sound. After walking toward the sound for what seemed like forever, he had found it. But.. it wasn't a pokemon he had seen before. It was a tall, large, wyvern like entity, it resembled an Aerodactyl. But it wasn't shiny... or regular. It had no skin, no flesh, no vein, no muscle.. just complete bone. At the tips of its claws and tail were corrupted patterns, jigsaws of bits of itself. Around it, the ground and brush were also corrupted, in places and conditions impossible for it to even survive. Flickers of bits of pokémon can also be seen around it. The tail of a Squirtle, the ear of an Arcanine, the eye of a Wigglytuff, and alot more pokémon that were scattered around it. Red was surprised at first, and thought about leaving it, but then he thought to himself.. he had found a pokémon no one.. NO ONE has seen before, not even Oak. So if he caught it, he might get famous, maybe even given a medal. He might even get more famous! Red got low to the ground, as in an effort of a surprise attack in order to not get seen, but the moment he left cover, it was already too late, and the pokèmon had already found him. The skeleton snapped its head back with an audible crack, staring at Red with soulless, empty eye sockets, startling Red a little. Both paused, and stared at each other, Red staying low, and the skeleton staying still. That was then the skeleton's eye sockets began to lit up with white, black, purple, and brown, mesmerizing, hypnotizing patterns. Red staring into the skeleton's eyes made him feel.. something. He felt like he wasn't in control of his own body, and he felt lightheaded. He was scared. He wanted to run, he wanted to scream, but he couldn't do neither. As the skeleton turned around and walked towards Red, Red felt something else different. He felt calm, he felt.. belonging. He began to forget his past, as if both him and the skeleton were always a duo. The skeleton neared its large head towards Red's face, and Red began to relax himself, and smile. He feels his body crumbling, but that didn't matter to him. The more he stared into the skeleton's eyes, the more he felt like he was staring into the eyes of Arceus. No, like some sort of higher deity, an even more higher deity than Arceus himself. Red begins to mumble under his breath: "Oh my goodness... you're.. so gorgeous... I couldn't imagine something... more.. perfect then you.... you're what I need... you're perfect.." The skeleton lets out a loud, long, awful hiss, consisted of different pokemon, as if in approval, proud to find its new trainer, its new owner. Red feels pride. He felt power, he felt an emotion he simply can't describe. that he finally found something... perfect. Even if he felt himself falling apart, even if he saw the world around him crumbling to pieces, even if he felt sick and numb, it didn't matter to him, it never did. What mattered is that he found something amazing, something.. perfect. He'll defeat everyone with his newfound partner. *After all, what pokémon can defeat something perfect and powerful like it?*

Missingno's stats: HP: Worse than Pikachu, better than Rattata Attack: Better than Dragonite and Machamp Defense: Worse than Chansey and Abra Speed: Worse than Slowbro and Snorlax Special: Worse than Caterpie and Weedle

3:25 Height: 10 feet Weight: 3507.2 Lbs God damn, I never knew MissingNo. was such an absolute UNIT

I'd love to see Missingno become a canonical species in Pokemon. It would be great if it was explained by being a weird mystical pokemon who's true form can't be seen by the naked eye so all you see is a glitch. I would have an actual heart attack if it made a cameo in the anime.

My lord, this reminds me of my brother. He took one of the glitched pokemon (it was either M or Missingno) through the E4 solo on his original Red version. He struggled against the ice one, but he eventually did it. Whenever he'd go to the screen to see his E4 teams, it would sing to him for like 5 minutes and then the pokemon center music would pick back up again.

Whenever the missingno hits an opponent it cripples their sprite and I can't get over it

I love how Missingno's glitchy face is so terrifying that the other Pokémon have to look away.

I love the idea that missingno is dual wielding water guns and in battle it just extends a glitchy arm with a water gun in its hand

Funnily enough, he could've made this challenge a little easier taking advantage of Missingno.'s wide TM movepool and taught it Earthquake and possibly Swords Dance. This would've made Giovanni and Agatha's fights a LOT easier.

Missingno in pokemon red and blue: I am a glass Canon. Missingno according to the fans: I AM GOD

Blastoise: Hey Rhydon, how can you learn surf as a ground type? Rhydon: Because I Rhydon the waves.

Imagine sending out a rattata, a guy sends out a glitch in space-time and then it launches into the sky and crushes your rattata's spine with over 3k pounds of force.

I love how all of these challenge runs start. I got destroyed by Brock and proceeded to exp grind on kakuna and metapod for 12 hours. Then the rest of the game was a breeze.

"Finally we meet! Behold the power of... BIRD type pokemon!" -Falkner, 2015.

"I was rewarded a MASTER BALL, which I promptly sold for 0 poke dollars at Pokemart" -Poketip

Your ability to make humor out of such a dry and glitchy game is top notch. Also. Cookie Dough.

"Agatha's Gengar goes for Confuse Ray even though I'm already confused." Very clever AI. It knew your Pokemon was already confused, so it tried to confuse the trainer now. Also, thank you for using Poke Flute in battle after Hypnosis. So many people don't realize it works in battle.

Missingno needs some more references in modern Pokémon games.

Pokedex: Alakazam has 5000 iq Alakazam: better use recover at full health

This is the only "can u beat a pkmn game with this specific one lol" type video that poses a legitimate question. Well done

I just imagine nurse joy having a normal day, only for some trainer to bring in this walking kill screen and asking "can you fix this?"

I like how missingno's attacks will literally shred up the opponents sprites

You're shocked MissingNo. can learn fly? But it's a Bird type!

Ooh! I just noticed you were using the beta trading theme in the background at the start of the video! Nice touch! Also you can fix your glitchy battle sprites by viewing a Pokedex entry or a Pokemon's stats screen.

this run is superb !!! huge salute to you poketips mike !

The imagery of someone flying a missingno is majestic

BREAKING NEWS: 11-YEAR-OLD BECOMES CHAMPION USING UNGODLY CREATURE

Ok, now real talk: I imagine this missingno type( Yes, there are few) as just sentient gravity anomaly, and the pixels being parts of the ground levitating around in space in the visible pattern.

I tried this in a newer generation. There's some glitch pokemon way out in the hexadecimal that don't actually crash surprisingly. It got boring fast though because stats were locked extremely low

"they say red left the kanto region a distorted reality, bending both humans, pokemon and the ground itself to his whim. the few survivors say that while they knew it was his pokemon causing the destruction, they couldnt quite tell what it was, only noting how it seemingly had wings that warped the air around them. no trainer ever had the bravery to face him after he felled his rival and became the champion, having a silent grip on the whole region and its warped residents. that is, until a young man by the name of Ethan, the newly crowned champion of johto, stepped past the barricades barring kanto off from its neighboring region..."

18:48 "I don't know how that man became a gym leader" ... That.... That is no man.

I can imagine riding Missingno in the air like a surfboard

Keep up the glitch vids Mike!

i like the idea that missingno's sheer presence is giving the pokemon brain damage so they use bad moves

I really like the animation, when right after the tri attack hits, the enemy Pokemon just shatters into slices.

Some out of context quotes😊 -"Rattata is fast and its strong" -"Going into this Ekans" -"You're just caught in the snake"

Imagine Being A New Trainer On Any Pokemon City And A Kid Comes Near U With A Lvl 100 Missingno.

*PokeTips standing with a garbled glitched mess right next to him.* “Haha look at that Exeggcute, it looks weird haha.”

“Teaching Mega Punch to Missingno made Missingno into a monster!” It made Missingno into a Pocket Monster! ;)

I love how some battles, missingno goes from missingno to tv static

I’m not a English native speaker but this video was so easy to watch! Thank you!

11:00 - “My least favorite move of all time, Generation 1’s WRAP.” 18:28 - “My least favorite move, QUICK ATTACK.” 37:17 - “My least favorite move, COOKIE DOUGH.”

the most mysterious part of this run was the fact that the Battery LED was off the whole time

21:49 you could buy a pokedoll and use it against the ghost instead of doing the Team Rocket hideout

The reason missingno turns into a rhydon is because missingno is rhydon's leftover data after it got removed from gen 1 but now since rhydon is an official pokemon the leftover data is recognized as the pokemon rhydon (basically rhydon got removed leaving missingno)

It's not everyday you hear someone say Ratatta is fast and strong

“Rattatas fast, and he’s strong” Never thought I’d hear that!

this is so much fun to watch

Cookie dough! I love your videos, man. Makes me wanna do my own Pokémon videos.

"Am I going to regret doing this?" *Gets 1.8M views" "No"

I love how Missingno corrupts the sprite of whatever it attacks.

So the answer to "can you beat Pokémon red or blue using only missing no" is basically no, since it can't learn strength or surf.

The thing I did not ever expect to hear in my whole life: "Rattata is fast and strong."

pokemon gets hit by missingno pokemon: ][][

It’s really cool how when missingNo attacks The Pokémon that gets attacked,Their Sprite turns all Glitchy

Fun fact i learned in a mono run: Wrap in gen 1 can't damage Ghost-type Pokemon because it's a normal type move... But unfortunately the wrap effect still applies to you for some reason, so it exists just to make your life hard and the battle last longer.

I never thought I would hear “Rattata” And “Strong” In the same sentence

Riding on missigno while flying is just like a magic carpet

Cookie dough! Brilliant can't believe you did it! I watched this video in x2 speed on full screen on my Macbook! A masterpiece!

I can imagine MissingN° falling over and just dying and I love it.

18:47 Punched the raichu so hard it shattered across reality itself.

Missingno's stats are pretty in character. It's strong enough to corrupt game data so its attack stat's high and HP/defense are god awful because it barely exists. Normally it takes a while to get fly and surf to do the glitch so it's slow

cool classic playthrough, i haven't played PK blue in a while

15:50 I sure hope that Raticate is alright. Looked pretty messed up after that Mega Punch. 😟

Mike says: I am suprised it can learn fly. Me : didn’t you say it was bird type?

Only Missingno would have a Water Gun SO POWERFUL it would deform Onix.

Cookie dough (: great video, seriously. Worth the time it took you to showcase the mythical MissingNo. Wish he was in the national dex

Trainer’s POV: A 10 year old possesses a pseudo pokemon that can manipulate the physical features of any target pokemon. The sight of the blocky composition makes you question: “Is… is that a real pokemon?” You sit in silence, as you can’t figure out what it looks like or _how_ it got into your view. You try to seem unfazed during the battle, but its appearance distracts you and thus, lose the match. While terrified of that _thing,_ you give the kid the badge. (And all parts of your body switched, of course, along with all your defeated pokemon.)

I sure do like some cookie dough with my glitch mons. Grats!

GameFreak: sees a glitchy pokemon in the shape of some stairs Also them: Ah yes, *a bird*

"He gave me a Master Ball, which I promptly sold for 0 pokedollars." Me: "YOU WHAT"

Red: Go, Missingno! Pokemon Trainer Joey: *m* ý řæțáťå ï§ ť *h* ə *b* ēšț

Cookie dough! Great video, I would have never thought of this challenge.

The reason why missingno. turned into a rhydon at the beginning is likely because there's some kind of check to see if an invalid Pokemon was added to the Pokedex, and if so to set the Pokemons id to 1, which just happens to be rhydon

“Rattata is a fast and strong Pokémon.” That is a statement I never thought I would hear..

Theory on why all these experianced gym leaders are using x items against you: They have no idea WTF that thing they are fighting is. So standard RPG tactics: BUFF SELF.

21:05 pokemon showing you that gambling and following strangers into basements is a good idea

Cookie dough! My brain goes full 'Akira' when I think of Missingno. Makes the idea of Fly quite terrifying.

Imagine how this looks like A young trainer finds a fissure in reality on the shape of a pokémon that should and does not exist; One with a type discarded from reality, carrying an ability it should not be able to know, being massive, undefined to the eyes of even the Universe and just a 2dimensional static composed of residue the world compulsed into a never stable entity. Being the newbiest newbie to ever newbie, the young trainer fails to see the wrong on it and treats it like yet another pokémon, giving it a regular encounter that ends up on him deciding to keep it just because it's cool. The pokéball it is captured in is now an anomaly on itself, and once used, this pokémon seems to have a natural ability you don't need to even ask for (Or can avoid using) where the battleground's aspect is completelly deformed and cropped in a way where only MissingNo seems to know what's going on around him. Good side is as much as everything seems distorted, nothing is being harmed (Out of mere moderation on using him, not because it can't happen). Of course, this young trainer has his own set of pokémon, but when he's cornered, he remembers the crack on space but not time he's stuffed into a ball... Scared of using it, yet willing if left choiceless Everyone is terrified of MissingNo. Everyone but him, since he doesn't know what's going on

"where i ran into youtube. i feel like im constantly fighting this guy."

Cookie Dough. This was great!

I remember fumbling blindly through Rock Tunnel because I refused to waste a move slot with Flash. So the fact that you used a map is amusing.

"Water Gun basically does no damage to these Rattatas and Pidgeys..." -Water Gun slices Pidgey into 4 pieces
