Missingno.

Missingno.

Misssingno. is an infamous video game glitch known to occur in the Pokemon Red and Blue games for Nintendo's handheld video game console, the Nintendo Game Boy. Missingno. is a pokemon that usually, but not always appears to be a "glitchy" or unorganized pixelated blob. It alternately appears as "M'Block", depending on unknown factors in each individual game.

How To Catch Missingno.

It is generally accepted that a particular sequence of events will lead to the capture of Missingno.. Below are the most commonly described steps of how to catch the pokemon Missingno..

1. Fly to Viridian City

2. Talk to the man who needed to be given coffee earlier in the game's storyline

3. He will ask you if you are in a hurry. Respond "no"

4. A cutscene will initiate in which he will show you how to catch pokemon

5. After the cutscene finishes, fly to Cinnabar Island

6. Surf along the coast where the sand meets the ocean in Cinnibar Island

7. Continue surfing until you see a pokemon named "Missingno." or "M'Block"

It is also possible to catch Missingno. with a Game Shark, though Game Sharks are not officially licensed by Nintendo.

Properties

Missingno. has four different possible sprites, one, "Glitch Form" is a pixelated block that may disrupt the game briefly before it appears, the Kabutops Fossil, appearing like the Kabutops fossil from the game, Aerodactyl fossil, appearing like the Aerodactyl fossil from the game, and "Ghost Missingno.", appearing like the unidentified ghosts from the Vermilion city tower in the game. "M'block" however, only appears in "Glitch Form". They are both "normal/bird" type, which is bizarre considering the fact that "bird type" does not exist in the game, and bird-like pokemon are described "flying type". Missingo. is pokemon number 00, which also normally does not exist. When caught, it knows the moves, water gun (twice, which is normally impossible) and sky attack. There are reports of it destroying the player's Hall Of Fame data, causing graphical glitches, or even corrupting saved game data after it is placed in the PC storage system.

What causes the Missingno. Glitch

It is believed that the cause of the Missingno. glitch is that on the aforementioned strip of land near Cinnabar Island, the programmers declared that pokemon could appear there, but did not determine which types. When you talk to the "OLD MAN" the variables that make up "YOUR NAME" are reassigned to "OLD MAN". The variables that determine "YOUR NAME" must be recalled later, so they are stored in the space that determines what pokemon can appear where you currently are. This would normally not have an effect, because these variables would be rewritten once you enter a space where wild pokemon can appear. Near Cinnabar Island, The variables making up "YOUR NAME" are assigned to the hexadecimal values of what pokemon can appear there. Because of the correlation to the hexadecimal values that make up "YOUR NAME" to those that determine wild pokemon species, the appearance of some form of Missingno. or "M'Block" is possible with any player name.

Nintendo's official response

Nintendo has publicly said very little about the Missingno. phenomenon, but several statements have been posted on [http://www.Nintendo.com nintendo.com] , like this one from 2001:

"We are sorry to hear of the trouble you are having with your games. Although we don't have access to game tips in our e-mail department, I can tell you that the MissingNO Pokemon is a known glitch and is not a real part of the game. When players get MissingNO, their games can perform strangely and the graphics will often become scrambled. Note that we don't recommend doing any "tricks" that involve finding MissingNO."Fact|date=October 2008
