CORRECTION
An error was made (or rather, an error was not simulated properly) that caused some of the
glitch Pokémon sprites to not be decompressed correctly. The affected Pokémon are those with Pokédex numbers 161, 172, 174, 180, 187, 188, 219, 221, and 240. This includes Pokémon with internal IDs 227, 230, 231, and 240.

So what you're telling me is that the real shape of glitch pokemon is impossible to be processed by the gameboy. They're literal eldritch abominations.

@techwizsmith7963 4 года назад

The reality in which they're interpreted cannot contain nor comprehend their true form. Yeah, they're eldrich alright

Plus some of them can learn a move known as Super Glitch. It's name is blank so it goes by that. I suggest watching a video of it in action. It's a perfect move for an Eldritch Abomination and very interesting.

I wanna hear it. It sounds like it could be interesting.

That's the human brain for you. Our object recognition and permeance skills are so good that they're often better than our eyesight. This leads to over compensation from the brain as it almost always assumes what the eyes are looking at is a logical shape. There's no actual Pokémon sprite data in it, as the location in memory it reads from is far outside the bounds of where the sprites are held.

@icecreamsamwich 4 года назад

All pokemon past Bulbasaur ($99) occupy the same sprite bank, including glitch pokemon. so a hybrid of one of those pokemon would have the same sprite as its normal counterpart. the corrupted Bulbasaur sprite is a result of the game loading the coordinates for Dodrio's sprite, which occupies the same position in its intended sprite bank. in foreign versions there are other hybrid pokemon with unusual sprites - Green has a jolteon hybrid that looks like the pokemon tower ghost because the coordinates for jolteon happen to be in the same place as the ghost. and some of the european versions have a growlithe hybrid that looks like bulbasaur!

@MarthaVsHumanity 4 года назад

My personal favourite is ID number 191, found in Yellow. This Pokémon has a sprite that’s 256x256. Unlike most glitch Pokémon, the game tries to display the full thing. The absurd size of the sprite somehow causes the ENTIRE ROM to be copied to the RAM. Insane.

@sirembrum49thegreatmoth2 Год назад

That was 4, 4. Incredibly glitchy and inconsistent. It's sprite is exceedingly collosal. I always wanted to see how big the actual sprite is.

@woobgamer5210 7 месяцев назад

actually 4 4 (191)'s reason the game may crash is because 4 4's front sprite is an unusually large 256x256 pixels, which causes it to overflow from RAM to SRAM and corrupt the current sound bank identifier address to invalid sound banks, and invalid sound banks usually crash. Even if the game doesn't crash, 4 4's front sprite will overwrite enough RAM to otherwise prevent play.

@glitchedpokestudent911 4 года назад

6:23, That is due to the decompression tampering the sound bank to an invalid value. In Red/Blue, it crashes instantly, but in Yellow, it crashes when the next sound effect plays in that invalid sound bank. You can see what happens if I freeze the sound banks on my Revealed glitch Pokemon front sprite crashers video.

fun fact: in one of the japanese games (can't remember if it's red/green or blue), despite having jolteon's pokedex number, the glitch pokemon with index number 0xfd has the sprite of the ghost missingno., due to jolteon's sprite pointer being conveniently located at the same spot as the ghost sprite, just in a different bank

IIRC, that signifies a note in the programing (like using #s in Java, which tells all Java applications to ignore whatever is on those lines), so when these weird pointers point to unintended places, the name data pulled for them reads whatever is "written" in the code, sometimes containing that symbol since a lot of the glitches point into non-Pokemon related code/data.

The small katakana "u" is tile hex EA. When interpreted as code, this byte stands for the instruction "ld (a16), a". This is a very common instruction, very likely to appear in game code. And thus, it commonly appears in glitch Pokémon names, because these names are in fact pieces of game code interpreted as text strings. The digit "4" also appears pretty frequently. Its tile ID is hex FA, which stands for a different, very common instruction: "ld a, (a16)".

@SwoggersLOL 4 года назад

so my question is, what WAS missingno exactly? Where did his data come from? I can understand that a part of his glitch is reading the incorrect bounding box of a wrong pointer data, but what was that data supposed to be in the first place?

@RGMechEx 4 года назад

The data that gets used as MissingNo.'s graphics is some data that describes what Pokémon and at what level some of the Biker trainers have in their parties.

Constructive criticism: I think some relaxing music during the scrolling of sprites would be good instead of "nothing". Some classical, non-copyright song, just for us to listen while we enjoy the graphics ^^

@Liggliluff 4 года назад

Yes, use public domain or some custom music. Too many creators use copyrighted music, and then get upset they get flagged. Taking content to just use in the background isn't fair use; only if you actually critique the music, you can play it legally. See: A Dose of Buckley - Musical Autopsy. Also see Tom Scott's video about copyright.

@KuraIthys 4 года назад

Yeah, if you can't think of or find anything else, Incompetech (aka Kevin McLeod) is always a good bet... Everyone uses his music, but then, that's because it's fairly good, and an easy to find resource that can be freely used (as long as you credit it appropriately...)

@jwhite5008 4 года назад

I prefer silence. I'm not against non-intrusive music either but decided to mention that the opinion is at least non-unanimous. Viewers can also play any music they like in the background if they wish, although doing that may be quite inconvenient.

I remember that one. It's name is Q ◣ ( a Hybrid of Starmie ) having the ability to combine pokemon, either regular or glitched and you can even combine both! Like one time I saw someone use Q ◣ glitch to combine Porygon and X ゥ- xゥ, which makes a Porygon sprite with the purple background of X ゥ- xゥ, as well as having the stats of X ゥ- xゥ,. It's VERY powerful!

@Flashlight237 4 года назад

In the Game Boy, there are just four base colors, but the color range expands beyond that if you use either a Super Game Boy accessory, Pokemon Stadium's GB Tower feature, or a Game Boy Color. Of course the color isn't so much real color as they are based on one specific color palette. Missingno's normal sprite; for instance, used the same palette as the Ghost sprite. Color is based on a pokemon's Pokedex number, as shown when looking at Pokemon IDs C3 and D4, both having the dex number #94. Both glitch pokemon share the same color palette as Gengar. If the Pokedex number theory is true and if this is possible, we can more easily differentiate the hypothetical/unused glitch pokemon from the real pokemon if we can get the color data for them as well.

@FoundedScreenLady 4 года назад

Do you ever plan on doing a similar analysis on versions other than Red/Blue? Such as Yellow, the Spaceworld Demo glitch species, or perhaps even out of bounds Decamark in gen 3? There is a particular glitch pokemon less known than Missingno, that is somewhat infamous in the glitching community due to having a sprite so large, the entire games RAM is overwritten and overflowed. (aka. 4 4, which is a very interesting case with how the game handles loading it differently than it's cousin from Red/Blue, which you shown here.)

@JamesR624 4 года назад

2:39 I find it humorous that the resulting graphics size of this Game Boy pokemon can only be seen "properly" on at least a 4K display. The dimensions of a screen right below 4K is 1920 pixels horizontally by 1080 pixels vertically. This pokemon has a width of *2048* pixels horizontally. So forget about the Game Boy's screen, not even an HD 1080p can correctly display this, LOL.

@Liggliluff 4 года назад

"4K" isn't a specific screen resolution, and is a category of them. But (16:9) 1080p is exactly 1920×1080. The common 4K resolution people usually refer to is 16:9 2160p, or 3840×2160. - But you don't need to go up to that resolution to see the sprite in full. You only need a slightly higher resolution than 1080p. A common size is 1440p, which is 2560×1440. (This resolution is also carelessly known as "2K", even though 1080p should fill that role, which people deny. So please don't use "K" resolutions, it's just a mess). - But you can technically use any resolution. For 16:9, you can use 1152p, or 2048×1152. That will fit it exactly.

If glitched Pokemon's true forms cannot be bound by the in game bounding box, resulting in their true forms not being fully shown on screen, could it be deduced that by translating the in game logic to real world logic that glitched Pokemon are actually extra-dimensional beings, and that the form they present to us is actually just the form that can be constrained to 3 dimensions?
