=Information=
'''Missingno. Master''' (Japanese: '''けつばんマスタ''' ''Ketsuban Master'') is a member of [[Bulbapedia]], and most notably, the [[Serebii.net]] [[Serebii.net forums|Forums]].  He derived his user name from his self-proclaimed status as a [[Pokémon Master]], and his love of [[Missingno.]], his absolute favorite Pokémon.  He is notable for his tremendous collection of {{shiny}} [[Pokémon]].  Lately, he has been coming up with [[User:Missingno. Master/New Pokémon Ideas|ideas for new Pokémon]]{{tt|.|These ideas are teh PWNage!}}
 
=Missingno. Master's online history=
Many years ago, Missingno. Master first became acquainted with the internet on [[Pokémon Crater|PokémonCrater.com]], though he had joined that website under the user name of Wynautfan (a reference to the fact that {{p|Wynaut}} is one of his favorite Pokémon).  He had started with a {{p|Torchic}} which he promptly [[evolve]]d into a {{p|Combusken}}.  He then used Combusken to battle the PokémonCrater-exclusive Dratinice.  After much usage of items and exchanges of attacks, Missingno. Master finally subdued Dratinice and captured it in a [[Master Ball]] (which at that time did NOT have a 100% capture rate in PokémonCrater).  Afterwards, Dratinice being level 80, Wynautfan quickly moved through the game, obtaining many badges, and evolved Dratinice into Dratinire.  Soon afterwards, he was using Google to find good Pokémon information and stumbled upon [[Serebii.net]].  He liked the reliable information the website provided, and soon afterwards joined the forums under the name Missingno. Master.
 
==The Missingno. Master Forums==
Soon after the Celebi Glitch was discovered, Serebii of the Serebii.net forums vehemently denied the existance of the glitch, and went so far as to disallow discussion of the glitch anywhere on the forums.  Several members of the Missingno. club (which has since been disbanded), including Missingno. Master decided to make their own Missingno.-based forum, one Jigpuff being the leader.  Missingno. Master started out as a moderator, then was eventually promoted to Admin.  Soon afterwards, however, he made the grave mistake of signing on to the forums late at night, half asleep.  Long story short, he took over the forums, demoting everyone except himself.  Shortly afterwards, when wide awake, he saw what he had done, and immediately fixed it.  Jigpuff, however, being cruel and unforgiving, blind to his sincere remorse, demoted him to member, and for some time, took away his posting ability.  Eventually, he was banned for no reason.  Shortly afterwards, he created the Missingno. Master forums, which still exist today (and are in DIRE need of more members).

Before assuming his current username, Missingno. Master's first appearance on a Pokémon site was under the username WynautFan, on the old [[Pokémon Crater]] site. Not long after that, he discovered Serebii.net, and eventually signed up on its forums under the username Missingno. Master. Eventually, he signed up on Bulbagarden's forums, and of course, Bulbapedia. He is also a member of GameFAQs, though goes by the username of Missingno_Mastr there (though insists that he be referred to as Missingno. Master, as opposed to the spelling he uses in his username).

==Personality and characteristics==

Missingno. Master is self-described as an agreeable, pleasant person to talk to. He has a tendency to come up with new ideas for Pokémon, and has a particular penchant for drawing inspiration for them from inanimate objects, such as a bag of potato chips, the arrows Cupid is said to shoot to make people fall in love, and even a snow cloud.
__NOEDITSECTION__
 
A lover of Pokémon glitches and glitch Pokémon alike, Missingno. Master has long been a mostly reliable source of information on many Pokémon glitches, which led to him starting Bulbapedia's {{bp|Project GlitchDex}}, as well as an organization known as The Order of the Glitch, which once served to try and make people view glitch Pokémon as real Pokémon. The organization has long since disbanded, though Missingno. Master has shown interest in reviving it as a less radical organization that would merely serve to prevent the spread of misinformation on how harmful certain glitches and glitch Pokémon really are. Though he knows a lot about Pokémon glitches and glitch Pokémon, he concedes that he still does not know everything about them, though this hasn't stopped him from trying to learn everything about them.
 
As a contributor to Bulbapedia, Missingno. Master doesn't make as many contributions as he used to, though he has been known to stalk the Recent Changes, and make changes wherever he deems necessary. How well these changes are actually received is another matter altogether.
 
Outside of Pokémon, his interests are few and far between. He enjoys the TV show Supernatural, among other shows, and an assortment of newspaper comic strips. He also enjoys food, particularly bacon.
 
==Pokémon games==
As far as Pokémon games go, they are more or less what Missingno. Master is all about. His very first Pokémon games were [[Pokémon Red Version]] and [[Pokémon Yellow Version]], both of which he received simultaneously on the morning of his 10th birthday, as gifts from his parents. Later that day, he acquired a copy of [[Pokémon Blue Version]] as a present from relatives. His very first Pokémon was the {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} he started with in Yellow, and the first Pokémon he ever caught was a {{p|Pidgey}}.
 
Over the years, Missingno. Master accumulated an impressive collection of Pokémon games, including every single main series game from the current six generations, and most of the spin-off games, even including three games for the [[Pokémon mini]] system.

The Ability came in handy when he hooked a Shiny {{p|Dratini}} who had an aversion to staying in thrown [[Poké Ball]]s and a tendency to spam {{m|Dragon Tail}}. He also uses Sweet, an {{p|Illumise}} he received from [[Wonder Trade]], to initiate [[Horde Encounters]] with {{m|Sweet Scent}}, and also to take them out using {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} for the purposes of EV training. He also has a Wynaut he has owned since the original Ruby Version. Wynaut is level 100, and thus will never evolve, possesses over 60 Ribbons (including every single Contest Ribbon possible), and is described by Missingno. Master as "the {{AP|Pikachu}} to my {{Ash}}." Missingno.

==Trivia==
*Missingno. Master's favorite Pokémon is {{p|Weezing}}, his favorite type is {{type|Poison}}, his favorite Ability is {{a|Stench}}, and his favorite move is {{m|Sludge Wave}}.
**Despite this none of his usernames mention Weezing, instead mentioning two of his other favorites (Missingno. and Wynaut).
*Missingno. Master is a member of [[Pokémon Vortex]], the successor to Pokémon Crater. He still goes by his old WynautFan username there.
 
===Name Origin===
Missingno. Master is derived from [[Missingno.]], one of Missingno. Master's favorite Pokémon, and [[Pokémon Master]], which Missingno. Master believes himself to be.
 
WynautFan is simply "Wynaut fan", a term which accurately describes Missingno. Master, as {{p|Wynaut}} is one of his favorite Pokémon.
 
Missingno_Mastr is a version of "Missingno. Master" that has been adjusted to meet the space and character constraints of a GameFAQs username.

Prominent among these are an Octillery he caught in Johto for the purpose of using in the Bug-Catching Contest due to its Suction Cups Ability- he was worried about potential Shiny Butterfree, Beautifly, and Dustox with Whirlwind, and now uses Octillery when chain fishing. The Ability came in handy when he hooked a Shiny Dratini who had an aversion to staying in thrown Poké Balls and a tendency to spam Dragon Tail. He also uses Sweet, an Illumise he received from Wonder Trade, to initiate Horde Encounters with Sweet Scent, and also to take them out using Dazzling Gleam for the purposes of EV training. He also has a Wynaut he has owned since the original Ruby Version. Wynaut is level 100, and thus will never evolve, possesses over 60 Ribbons (including every single Contest Ribbon possible), and is described by Missingno. Master as "the Pikachu to my Ash." Missingno. Master needed but the flimsiest of excuses to have Wynaut follow his player character around in HeartGold, and is the main reason he is in favor of the feature returning in future games.

Trivia

  • Missingno. Master's favorite Pokémon is Weezing, his favorite type is Poison-type, his favorite Ability is Stench, and his favorite move is Sludge Wave.
    • Despite this none of his usernames mention Weezing, instead mentioning two of his other favorites (Missingno. and Wynaut).

Name Origin

Missingno. Master is derived from Missingno., one of Missingno. Master's favorite Pokémon, and Pokémon Master, which Missingno. Master believes himself to be.

WynautFan is simply "Wynaut fan", a term which accurately describes Missingno. Master, as Wynaut is one of his favorite Pokémon.

Missingno_Mastr is a version of "Missingno. Master" that has been adjusted to meet the space and character constraints of a GameFAQs username.
