I wrote this almost half a year ago, so please excuse the poor spelling.

Today I decided to play my good old Pokémon Blue again and test some glitches I read about at TRsRockin.com.

I caught a lv.55 Ditto.
I put it in a battle with a Missingno. and let it use transform.
When I wanted to attack after it transformed into Missingno., a box said that Ditto has no attacks left.

Same with a 'M.

Then I decided to catch a Missingno.. I did and it was transported to the PC. When I looked at its stats at the PC, it sounded like a Rhydon but had no sprite.

When I picked it up and looked at its stats, it was a Rhydon with the name Missingno. , a special stat of around 400, attack and defense at something around 30 and it had no attacks.
I tought it Blizzard and suddenly, the other four attacks (sky attack, tower kick, headbutt) were back.

I levelled it up to lv.255 and put it into battle.
(Besides, the number of the rare candies was made of a flower sprite (!) and a number at one time.)

Now this is where it gets odd. It gained experience and levelled down to lv.107! And when it got more exp it didn´t get back to lv.100. And the HP bar went out of the screen while the HP were "E33/161".

I put it into battle again and it lost a lot of HP. The number flickered, the E became a D (D00/161) and the bar became normal again. It was damaged more and the D00 became C14 and then B*whatever*. (Normally, it would have fainted yet...) And the HP bar was three rows long!!!
It recieved more damage and the B*Number* became a [blank space]*number*. (It might have turned into an A before but I was busy writing all that down.)
When the bar(s) emptied it looked like this:
----------------------------------------------
////////// | | | | | |
----------------------------------------------
There were vertical bars left behind!

The [blank space]*number turned into a pokéball*number*, then into two vertical lines, pokéball again, two horizontal lines (one of them thicker than the other), pokéball again and then a ramp... thing...
While the last pokéball appeared, the 3 HP bars filled again.
The battle was finished and I looked into the status screen. Now the ramp was replaced by a vertical line.

I decided to visit a Pokemon center. I healed my pokémon and the HP bar was normal again. So were the numbers of the HP.

I entered a battle again and Rhydon/Missiongno. fainted making a Rattata´s scream.

That was enough for me, I turned the Game Boy off, scared and without saving.

I used to use the Missingno Glitch to duplicate items (specifically rare candies) and level up my pokemon to a 100. >_>

Same. It feels ashaming now.

I always did that every time I reached Cinnabar Island, except I duplicated Master Balls too <__<

One time in Blue I did catch and keep a Missingno, unaware of the risk of screwing over my saved file. It's level was all screwy, and the only attack it had was Sky Attack. From what I recall, the stats were pretty crappy and he fainted pretty fast in battle. Already bored with him, I threw him in the PC and turned off the game. Strangely enough, when I went back to check on him later, he was gone! :(

Also, the Hall of Fame thing was really buggy ever since. My Pokemon would show up fine in there, but a couple of times I'd see a Rattata named Ryhorn with X{]0($# as it's trainer, with impossible to read data on it. And one time I even saw Missingo appear on the list, with no trainer.

Not exactly wild, but it's an experience. That's the point. The point. The pointpointpointthepointpointpoint.

[Raijinili]

I did all of that as well.

[Raijinili]

I too must come forth and admit that I did the same>_> Not so much for the Master Balls, mainly for rare candies.

[Raijinili]

I did that as well I'll admit.
In retrospect, it's probably why my Red version screwed up and always deleted my files (I caught one <_<; I was wondering what would happen @_@)

But I did score a new Red version AND Mew when Nintendo came to town so...

[Raijinili]

I never got a Mew, damn Nintendo always came to the Mall on weekdays when I was in school. And I never bought a Gameshark either :/

[Raijinili]

I also duplicated Master Balls. >_>;

As for Mew, I traded it with a friend. No clue where he's got it from, maybe hax...

[Raijinili]

I'm guilty of duplicating Master Balls (and Revives) too... The very first time I met it, I didn't know it was a glitch (was an idiot) and abused it until I got trapped at the Hall of Fame. The cry + Pokeflute sounded like a funeral song. >.<

[Raijinili]

I caught Mew in-game on my Red Version. It takes a few tries.

By the way, this is a pretty good image guide http://pokedex.kary.ca/catchmew.shtml

I never actually caught a Mew, but for some reason I managed to exploit the duplication glitch without ever encountering a Missingno. It just multiplied my Full Restores, which was the strangest thing--I did the whole "save, turn off while saving and risk royally screwing up your cartridge in the process" thing. I guess I was just lucky nothing worse happened.

Holy crap! I never knew about that!

[Raijinili]

Wut? I thought Mew was only catchable in the original Blue version. (The US Blue version is actually Green version)

My GBC broke before I could catch Missigno. :(
