Talk:MissingNo.

File:000K.png

Due to special coding in place in the article to illustrate Missingno.'s forms, certain displays will change showing Missingno. as though it has an index number of B8 and is in Red or Blue version, therefore being a Bird/Template:Type2 Pokémon, in its Kabutops fossil form. This will only affect the sprite shown in the infobox, the type showed in the infobox, the type-themed color displays, the base stats entry which is unhidden, the types displayed in the type effectiveness entry, the learnset entries which are unhidden and the evolution (form change) which is unhidden. This changes every day, so when the time comes, click here to return to the page and change the display.

Split

Missingno. (Red/Blue) and Missingno. (Yellow) are very different from each other. They should be separate pages. Compare [1] and [2]. Also compare [3] and [4]. --SnorlaxMonster 11:17, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Is there a tag for this? Because I can't find one. --SnorlaxMonster 05:58, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

No. It's still the same glitch, it just manifests different effects in different games. —darklordtrom 06:16, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

It's really as different as 'M and 3TrainerPoké, other than the fact that they have the same name. The stats are completely different, Yellow's types are Normal/Glitch whereas RB's types are Bird/Normal, Yellow's Starting moves are Water Gun, Bind, Pay Day whereas RB's starting moves are Water Gun, Water Gun, Sky Attack.--SnorlaxMonster 07:12, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

We count Missingno.'s Yellow version counterpart as an alternate form here. It's the same species. Missingno. Master wants YOU! Join the Order of the Glitch! (my talk page) 14:00, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

But that would make 3TrainerPoké an alternate form of 'M. The only difference between the relationship of those two, and the relationship of the two Missingno.s is that the Missingno.s have the same name. --SnorlaxMonster 06:07, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

And that difference makes all the difference. They're the same species, just as Sandy Cloak and Trash Cloak Wormadam are the same species, or Normal and Defense Deoxys. Missingno. Master wants YOU! Join the Order of the Glitch! (my talk page) 12:12, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

OK fine, but is there any way to have both Bird/Normal and Normal/999 in the top box? SnorlaxMonster

More rumours

Not mentioned on the rumours page is a theory about missingo's origin and why cubone and marowak seem so similar to kangaskhan. The theory is easy to believe even if it comes from a 4chan post. see [5] for a screencap of the argument. --Iain7 23:45, 17 December 2009 (GMT)

There are quite a few problems with that theory, the first being that its speculation and does not belong on the article. Secondly, I don't think it is that complex or time consuming to delete an evolution. Also, Missingno. is completely unrelated to both Kangaskhan and Cubone. Also, if you look at the Hex list, you'll see that Missingno. has multiple index numbers.--SnorlaxMonster. Help here 00:21, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Can Yellow Missingno. replicate 128 of an item?

I read somewhere that Missingno. in Yellow can replicate 128 of an item, but elsewhere that it cannot. Which is true? Blueapple128 17:46, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

First another question, can Missingno. (in either game) replicate items when encountered using the Mew glitch? If no, then it cannot. If yes it might be able to. --SnorlaxMonster 06:40, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Never mind, found the answer here: http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,5904.0.html. When encountered through the Mew glitch in any of RBY, it will still duplicate items. However, it will only do so in Yellow if the game doesn't freeze. Apparently it will always freeze in an emulator since it can't detect the glitchy game code properly, unlike a cartridge which has a small chance of not freezing.
