Pokémon Blue Glitch Huntin' 

what would you do if you heard a giant voice in the sky say "DING DONG! TIMES UP, THE SAFARI GAME IS OVER" and then the world turned into oatmeal

The idea of an entire team of Missingnos all called "BEES" fills me with an emotion.

"When I killed your Ratacate it was the most important day of you life, for me... It was tuesday"

"Imagine accidently getting the Pro. Oak fight as a kid." - The Birth of Playground rumours.

You know the butterfly effect is insane when growling at a random kids slowpoke determines the strength of a god

34:01 that line was so good it caused the fruit man to have amnesia and say it again

"are you a boy or a girl?" "I'm a MAN. a SWAGMAN."

I fucking love how whenever a pokemon is hit by a Missing.no they just shatter like a glass sheet

I like to say these games are held together with spit and wishful thinking

1:06 fun fact! all status moves prior to generation 3 had a 25% chance of just flat out failing (edit: this is only for the enemy ai, not the player). this seems like a glitch but no it was completely intentional. also the reason the pidgey didn't move the next turn was due to a speed tie, which is when 2 pokemon have equal speed stats the game flips a coin to see which one goes first.

Imagine living in this world; a child stands on water, paralyzes two people by making them touch a wall, steals an old man's name like a fairy and with that name summons a "thing" that he calls a bird but clearly isn't, captures a unique creature that he transmuted out of thin air, shatters reality a couple times, spins non stop inexplicably making strange noises and phases through solid matter... Oh yeah he's also the new pokemon champion and possibly god itself.

29:47 The fact the Pokémon shatter like a plane of glass makes the attacks seem even more powerful

36:19 he didnt ever close those quotes, so the rest of the video is contained within quotes

The main difference between MissingNo and M is that MissingNo occupies 39 slots of "blank" data for Pokemon that were removed from the game before release. M occupies hexadecimal slot 00 on the ROM, and the reason why M can always show up no matter your name is that if you use a custom name then there are several invisible "end of name" characters added to the end of your player name, which also use hex value 00 and thus will result in M appearing. No idea why M is so unstable, but it will attempt to evolve into Kangaskhan at every level aside from 136(?) when it tries to evolve into Clefairy. Also if you already have an M in your party there's a chance any new ones will turn into Rhydon, who occupies hex slot 01 next in line. If you catch the "ghost M" that remains after catching it the first time you'll get a totally normal Ditto. Nobody knows why this happens. Gen 1 glitching was my life when I was younger so I know far more than any reasonable person should.

honestly, the reason this game is so buggy is because of how fucking amazingly well thought out it was. the sheer amount of optimization that had to go into this is honestly hard to believe. every little thing had to be used at all time, nothing could go to waste. sure, it created some bugs, but all in all, this was a perfectly functional and surprisingly stable game. what game freak managed to do with pokemon is almost a miracle.

The Mew glitch is the most insane video game glitch ever. I remember watching RU-vid videos of it as a kid and going "yeah sure okay lol", then busting out my copy of Yellow to test it and being stupefied when Mew showed up. The things you have to do and its result makes it sound like every one of those old rumors that were "dude you can unlock Sonic in Melee by leaving the game on for 1000 hours and beating Mr. Game & Watch 69 times on Final Destination with Fox!" but it actually fucking works.

I love that Missingno sends its victims to the shadow realm

They did do a glitch manipulation during an AGDQ/SGDQ run that enabled them to get a mew from under the truck :)

imagine not having a level 100 mew 5 seconds after catching it

Glitch Huntin' is a series on par with """Speedrun""" and I waited ever since the first VOD for this highlight to come out, did not disappoint

24:16 The developers had limited RAM to work with. When you're in the old man tutorial, it has to temporarily change your name to "OLD MAN" in order to display that name in the battle. To avoid losing your real name, it temporarily stores your name in the part of RAM that normally determines what Pokemon can spawn in tall grass or water. This isn't an issue typically, because that part will be overwritten whenever you enter a new area where Pokemon can spawn. However, Cinnabar Island has no wild spawns, so your name never gets overwritten if you fly straight from Viridian to Cinnabar. Cinnabar's east coastline counts as water, so the last Pokemon stored into that part of RAM discussed earlier will spawn. You can also use it to spawn Safari Zone Pokemon.

You really have to appreciate when glitches work out like the missingno one. Too little and the glitch is barely remarkable, too much and it destroys your game. Imagine how simultaneously precise and nonsensical you have to be to discover glitches like that.

The reason these games are so glitchy is because the developers were working within extremely limited memory storage. No data went unused, and honestly there's some brilliant programming going on here all in order to get the game as compact as possible. It's honestly a lost art these days, since it's easy to buy more ram or hardware space.

this wasnt a game i expected gray to stream, he strikes me as the fellow who doesnt particularly care for pokemon, but im glad to see this game completely shattered with glitches

Grayfruit destroys manipulates reality several times to get a magical hairless rat: the stream

The rule of thumb with Gen 1 is "if there is a function, there is at minimum a 1/256 chance it just doesn't"

one minute in and he has already died laughing from a pp joke, this is gunna be good

scykoh is such a legendary man i feel like every pokemon fan i meet has seen his vids at one point but i never hear anyone outright talking about him

45:32 I completely forgot about Scykoh, I loved his content back in the day. I wonder what he's up to nowadays

I'm glad I've been around the internet enough to understand Jacob's "Shithead" reference.

So a *brief* explanation on why Missingno happens- when you follow the steps, the game is forced to draw on data it does not have and just interprets random data like it was information on Pokemon. Someone explained it to me like trying to read a page in a book, but instead of actually turning to a page you sliced open the cover. As for why you get weirdness stuff like Bird type... Bird Type was the prototype for Flying type, which remained unused in the code, and since the game draws on unused code...

My favorite part was when the slowpoke who only knew confusion, got confusion disabled, then undisabled it, and then used it, all in one round

I had a coast glitch Pokémon in one save file that was a level 132 Mewtwo. It was perfectly harmless because all it knew was Mist, Barrier, Amnesia, and recover. I caught so many for all my friends.

I'm always impressed that game freak was able to fit the first pokemon games on a gameboy cartridge. I just wish they were able to fit a good game on them too.

25:37 the only other glitch I can think of that might be more famous is nuclear Gandhi

As someone who’s been interested in this kind of stuff for years, this is hilarious. He obviously doesn’t understand the glitches very well, but that’s not a bad thing. It’s refreshing to see someone who doesn’t know every little thing about the game try to perform and explain the glitches while just plain having fun. ALSO WITH THE RIVAL BEING MESSED UP AT THE END There’s actually two of him. One is the optional fight at the beginning of the game, and the other is the second to last rival fight. When talking to him instead of letting the event trigger, the game gets confused and doesn’t start the fight. If you walk in front of him, one will stay behind while the other walks up to you. The game will then soft lock because it doesn’t know which fight to start (rival 1B or 6). This happened because the Boulder badge was skipped, and rival 1B only goes away after you get the first badge. Thus, two rivals show up! Also, the reason why the badge checkers didn’t realize that Greyfruit had only 7 badges is because the game actually checks them individually, and the Boulder badge checker is inside a room for some reason.

That was shit that blew our minds on the actual grayfruit stream, like "aaaaa, he's a hacker!" That was shit that blew our minds on the actual grayfruit stream, like "aaaaa, he's a hacker!"

Anne Thrax. What a wonderful name for a hairless cat that you tore apart space and time for.

The sad thing is you don’t even need to hunt for glitches in this game because they hunt you themselves

Desk man: “Excuse me!” Player: *rotates with malicious intent*

I remember getting "♀ ." In Pokemon yellow by complete accident.

Glitch Huntin’, t’is a blessed day

Gonna reroll your spacebar item every time you use it.

46:20 Dio walking up the wall of the burning Joestar mansion, 1888 decolorized

17:38 If I did this as a kid and saw that the ghost's face changed I would freak the fuck out.

I'm surprised Game Freak never took the opportunity to turn MissingNo. into a real legendary (National Dex No. #0). Make the bird REAL

This is a perfect Spooktober upload, Red and Blue glitch necromancy is both hilarious and absolutely horrific. Honestly, we need a horror game of the same vibe ASAP.

I like to imagine that the Prof. Oak fight was him trying to stop you from breaking reality any further, since he was the one that gave you a starter and sent you out into the world in the first place.

Oh my god, not even using Bubblebeam and just _punching the shit_ out of Rhydon in the end was the funniest shit I'd ever seen.

Watching MissingnoXpert's Let's Glitch Pokemon Yellow series is what started my love of glitches and spooky game shit and everything. It's fucking amazing that the Gen 1 games are so goddamn broken that they're more fun to play glitched runs in than play normally.

"Excuse me! Small rotating child!" It was the most difficult challenge of my life not to spit tea everywhere at that moment.

You so rarely use fade transitions that it's off-putting to see one on the Among Us door.

5:11 as opposed to shithead or shi-theed, I always liked to imagine it as "sheathed" but with an "I" sound

"GTFO of here Professor Oak, you ssslimy bastard." Probably my favorite quote of all the shit that made me chuckle in this video...

imagine seeing missingno in some bird nest just chilling there

Imagine going on a safari and then one day in your life like two days later you just hear the voice of god tell you "hey dork we ain't done with you" and then you're in a different dimension

grayfruit probably has "pokemon, loser, teleport" engraved into his mind

I have never seen something more hilarious than "PROF. OAK wants to fight!"

29:47 the glass shattering sound effect added SO MUCH to this effect that I’m probably going to be thinking about it everytime it happens in my game

29:06 Sounds like Prof. Oak just found the marble in the oatmeal!

The game usually updates the random encounter data when you enter a route, but that coast is still in the town; I love that it's that simple

Watching this guy figure out how to do baby's first Mew glitch is so adorable.

This video is already iconic I know I'm gonna be watching it several times throughout my life

Because of a bug with the Medium-Slow exp group (which Mew is part of), you can't withdraw Pokemon in that group that are level 0 or level 1 or the game will freeze. You can't normally get Pokemon at that level though, so you don't usually see it

“I need that hole”, “I wanna explore that hole.”-Grayfruit. I love this channel

37:46 when Wario smells something unpleasant

30:17 the best name for something that looks like a swarm of bees

The Sans attack prevented the enemy from having their turn. :)

26:15 this is actually a different Pokemon that is almost completely identical to missing no, the main difference being the name and that it actually has different values in the game. those glitched letters also change if you do certain things. 30:30 yes, it did, this has lead to theories that there was an unused Pokemon that would have had a split evolution tho either Q-bone or Kangaskhan due to a lot of empty Pokemon slots in the games code that were reportedly "reserved for later" that missing no can occupy being Pokemon that would be added in later Gens or just entirely scrapped.

There's one specific glitch that allows you to beat the game in under 5 minutes. There was a video bout it that was called "Beating pokemon yellow in 0:00."

I like the part where he tells chat he doesn’t know why using the doll ends the ghost fight while skipping through the dialogue that explains all of the ghost doll lore. Seriously though, 10/10 video. Very interesting

'M is one of several glitch pokemon alongside Missingno that you can get, they're all pretty neat

This is peak "dude who just googled a buzzfeed list of glitches" content.

00:57 joker's level of laugh just for a pp joke i love you so goddamn much

The "Kirby" sprite that missingno changes to when viewing it in the party is the top half of the head of the old man sprite, each turned sideways and put together

A game held together by, toothpicks, dollar store white glue and several satanic blood rituals.

The reasons these games are so broken is that they literally pushed the physical capacity of the machine it ran on. You could not fit a single extra line of code into those games on the original hardware. Anything not strictly necessary for the game to function was thrown out, leading to this. And for the most part, it worked. It's extremely unlikely that any of these glitches negatively effected a casual run

The level 100 gengar before brock is ungodly difficult but it literally breaks the game for the entire rest of the run.

Thank you fruit man, for delivering an hour of slimmed down glitchey goodness

the new editor did great, though there was one small mistake where one of the clips played twice. other than that great stuff!

Kinda hoped I'd see some truck pushing

1:14 in gen 1 single player, enemy status moves have a 25% chance to fail

I love that he's very defensive about how being named SwagmanGG helps one of the glitches, he swears, but naming the rival Shithead is just for his own amusement.

Troubleshooting the Mew glitch every wrong way possible. This is amazing and so relatable.

47:06 "it's just gonna ᶜʳᵃˢʰʰʰ"

Hell yeah! I've been getting the streams recommended to me for a while but never had the patience to pour through em.

I don't know why "Small rotating child" makes me laugh so much. lol

"this is just a trans world" -gray man, 2021

Fun fact, the Mew glitch is easier to do with the first trainer in Misty's gym then going up the nugget bridge

Used Glitches to encounter, catch, change DVs, OT, and ID to transfer up a Shiny Mew to US and then to Sword so my Shiny Mewtwo from US could have his mom

The opponent A.I. Has like a 25% chance for status moves to just outright fail.

dude i just keep watching this video over and over again it’s so good

"held together with soem gum and maybe i think a staple" look ay halo 2s engine and this game looks like dooms code

i remember emulating a romhack of red that added fully colored sprites in like freshman year of high school. i'd play double speed and grind levels until i was overpowered, such good times

I like to think that the complex glitches like the Mew and the Pomeg and Void glitches in later generations are all esoteric rituals no one knows about.

>clicks video >Corridors of Time starts playing based

I like how he hits pokemon so hards it effed up there sprites

Hello to the other VOD channel viewers, you're looking fetching this evening.

Here’s something to experiment with: if you transfer glitch Pokémon to GSC, then they’ll just become Gen 2 Pokémon due to having index numbers that actually get used in Gen 2. But if you go through the hard-to-setup but easy-to-execute time capsule glitch to trick the game into sending Gen 2 Pokémon back in time, they all become glitch Pokémon in RBY, and in fact you can use this to experience an entire roster of over 50 new glitches that can’t be caught or encountered at all otherwise.

he forgot the most infamous part of missingNO, and something that would be the perfect end to the playthrough the hall of fame gets destroyed if it's in your party
