If you had the choice of living in a pokemon world

151, maybe more, but almost everything after G2 was stupid.

And little fun fact for you since you're so convinced you need some kind of cheat to get Missingno.

This times a thousand.

 

Well yeah, but we're talking canon here. Nintendo says Missingno isn't a pokémon. See my previous link for details.

I'll just throw this in as well.

 

Oh, I know, I was just explaining the reasoning of Missingno's glitch.

 

Hmmm. You've got a point but he still isn't a pokemon which was my point. He's still considered hacked because your going through a process which isn't apart of normal gameplay= hacking

 

In that case you are correct. 255 slots to fill.

When you talk to the old man, his sprite and name are loaded into the Sprite/name slot, so your name is stored in the "type of pokémon to encounter" spot and loaded back afterwards. Usually that would change as soon as you enter a route with wild pokémon on it, but the east edge of Cinnabar is part of Cinnabar and not the adjacent route. Cinnabar had no need for wild pokémon, so your wild pokémon slot didn't get overwritten when you go there. However the east edge has encounter tiles, so it causes you to encounter what is in the wild pokémon slot, which just happens to be your name as hexadecimals. This correlates to the hexidecimal numbers of the various pokémon, including the 104 missingno slots. As such, we can encounter them, and it is why if you name yourself something like xxxyyxx then you can encounter mewtwo on that ledge.

Missingno is glitching, not hacking. Hacking is altering the game's code. Glitching is abusing the game's code.

 

Hacking= changing something to a game that wasn't there before or is there but messing with the coding. Examples include hacked pokemon games like Pokemon Black Version, Team Fortress 2 by changing skins like the Halo to make it instead vulgar words, or most popular on this site are the KH hacks where you messed with the coding to change certain things like your party characters.

Glitches= An error. Was never meant to happen at all and is a total surprise. An example would be missingno or popular today is playing a game and glitching through the level to get underneath a map. That's a programming error and wasn't supposed to happen.

 

Yes because going to talk to the old man in Viridian and then going to Cinnibar's east coastline and surfing isn't part of the game.

Also no one was trying to say it was a Pokemon.

 

This thread did not end up anyway near what I thought it would.

 

not necesarily. Hacking is modding what's in the game already glitching is bringing out what's in the game
Modding is bringing out what's in the game and either keeping it here permenatly or temporarily

Glitches are already present in the game. They're errors the developers made.
