E. Do the task for Sharpedo. It never hurts to have friends.

Spend a night with Uncle Sharpy's friend? Could it really be that easy? Well it seems like the best option to take and you'd rather stay on Uncle Sharpy's good side.

You swim towards the hut, the pond goes almost right next to it. These guys sure like being close to water. You're unsure what you'll find inside. 100 Carvanhas? Mrs Sharpedo? Heck even a dozen Blastoise wouldn't surprise you at this point.

You hop up to the door and squechily hit it with your fins. The door quickly opens and you are surprised by who answers. It's a little kid.

Little Kid: "Oh boy! A Magikarp!"

The kid looks around, then picks you up with genuine excitement and waves you about as he shows you around the hut. It's full of fishing equipment.

Little kid: "Hi Magikarp! My Name's Joey! This is my bed and this is my table and this is where we put our nets and rods. Wow you're heavy. I never got see a Magikarp before! Except pictures. My grandpa says I'm not allowed. But you don't seem so bad! We're going to be the best of friends. My grandpa's a fisherman, he knows everything in the world about fish but he hates Magikarp. "

He places you in a bath and fills it with water. You've never seen someone be genuinely happy to see you before. IT feels... nice..

Joey: "My dad was going to be a fisherman but he got sick and they said he couldn't do it anymore. So he does trains and boats and stuff instead. But my Grandpas says he's gonna show me to how be a fisherman. I've already caught a bunch of fish. He's the best. Do fish have grandpas? I bet you don't even remember yours. This one time I was out by the lake when I saw this weird pink thing and I thought it was dead but it turns out it was just moving so slowly that I didn't even notice, so I got this big tablecloth and we-"

Joey never shuts up. At first it's cute but he just keeps talking and talking. Eventually he just makes you sleepy. Before you know it you've drifted off and are fast asleep.

Next thing you know it's morning, you're awoken by a quiet thud and realize you're still in the tub. Well at least you got some rest finally. Then you notice Joey lying next to the tub with a blanket. Instead of going to bed he stayed next to you all night.

Joey is still fast asleep when you hear the thud again. It's coming from outside. You hop out of the tub and look out the window to see Uncle Sharpy in the pond, almost directly below you, with a smug look on his face.

Uncle Sharpy: "Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo!" (Ah, you did good Karp. I thought you would. See. Nice and easy right. And I look out for my friends. Here you are.)

He tosses you a bottle of Medicine through the window that you catch awkwardly with your mouth.

You obtained item: Medicine.

Yes! That's it! That's the medicine you needed! It was a wild ride but you finally have it. If yesterday was the worst day of your life then it looks like this is going to be the best one.

Then suddenly you hear the front door open and 2 men walk in. This does wake Joey up.

Joey: "Daddy! Grandpa!" He rushes to the door and hugs them both.

Joesph: "It's good to see you too son. I'm sorry we left you on your own last night. Daddy didn't have a choice."

Joey: "It's okay. I made a friend."

Old Joe: "Hey boy, it's good to se-.... BOY! THAT'S A MAGIKARP! What did I tell you! No Magikarps! EVER!!"

Joey: "But he's nice."

Old Joe: "NO JOEY! How many times have I told you! Your pa he-"

Suddenly Joesph starts going into anaphylaxis. He collaspes to the ground and starts coughing and spluttering, his skin starts to turn blue.

Joey: "Daddy? Dad! What's wrong dad. You're scaring me."

Old Joe jumps forward and takes a swing at you. Luckily you're still by the window so you leap into the water below to escape and land almost directly next to Uncle Sharpy who seemed to be expecting the whole thing.

Uncle Sharpy: "Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo." (Ahhh that Joesph, what a shame he has such a lethally severe Magikarp allergy. He was a real up and comer in this backwater. He was going to propose to the mayor today that the village restarts the railway, opens this place up to the sea and builds a port. Stop this from being a dump slowly bled to death by a casino. But see, dozens of ships, hundreds of people, constant expansion? New pokemon? Those huge things from the ocean? Nah. I like it how it is. Simple and with me in charge. I couldn't have done it without you. Honestly I'd given up on finding a Karp in time, and then you appear on the last possible day as if by magic. It was fate really.)

Oh no! No wonder Old Joe hated you so much. Joey must have covered his dad with your slime and scales when he hugged him. You see Old Joe and Joey huddled over Joesph's spasming body by the doorway. Uncle Sharpy has already started to swim away.

Joey: "I got sea-sickness tablets and milk and blankets. We can-"

Old Joe: "No! The only thing that'll do him now is that fancy expensive Medicine! And we ran out of that ever since it got so darn pricey."

Joey: "I can run to the store! I'll get it!"

Old: "No boy, there's no time for that. If you're at the store when your pa dies you'll never live wit yourself. You need to say goodbye now."

Joey: "Daddy... nnoo.. I'm sorry..."

You look back at them, then look at your medicine

What do you do:

A: Give Old Joe the Medicine. You can't just leave them like this.
B: Turn your back and swim away. That Medicine is for your grandfather.

C. Trainer! I choose you!

You throw your pokeball with your mouth, you've gotten pretty good at that although it doesn't go far underwater.

Suddenly Trainer emerges before you, blocking almost the entire tunnel with her body.

To say the Carvanha gang were surprised is a understatement, although that surprise turns into puzzlement as Trainer thrashes around, pawing frantically at the tunnel ceiling.

Trainer: "Bublbblmmglaaabbbbbbbbl! BLblblugh!"

Oh yeah. You kind of forgot that she needs oxygen to breathe. Well at least she's between you and the Carvanha, blocking the tunnel. That is until all five of them start gnawing at her legs.

Trainer: "Mblglmmmmmmghjh! MAAAAAAAAGHGHGHGHAGHLLBBLBLL!"

You're afraid they're going to munch and squeeze their way past her to you until Trainer starts kicking wildly, catching a few of them with her toes. A moment later, all the Carvanha's faces turn from sadistic grins into fearful expressions of dread. Then suddenly they turn around and desperately flee into the tiny holes they ambushed you from.

Ha. Serves them right. Guess they were just cowards after all. You didn't get your money back. But at least you kept your scales.

Then the large shadow engulfing you from behind makes you realize they weren't scared of you or Trainer but something else. You turn around to find yourself face to face with a Sharpedo that has teeth the size of your dorsal fins.

You're way too big for the holes the Carvanha escaped into and the humans are useless here. This thing could eat your entire family in seconds.

It just stares you directly in the eyes, you start to tremble as your entire life flashes before your eyes... Damn you were boring. You gulp and mentally apologize to your grandfather for failing him.

Sharpedo: "Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo." (Hey Karp, your human is drowning)

Then in an uncharacteristic display for a legendarily aggressive pokemon, it grabs Trainer by the arm with its mouth and drags her out of the tunnel and back to the surface. After your body eventually stops trembling you follow it. Not like you have much choice.

Trainer: "BWAhhhhhHUh..puff..puff... bwa...wha.... What the heck is going onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!?" she squeals after breaking the surface.

You decide it's probably a good time to withdraw her back to her pokeball. If the Sharpedo had wanted to fight, you'd be dead already.

Sharpedo: "Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo? Sharpedo. Sharpedo." (So what are you doing in my little village? Karp don't live around here, I've been waiting for one for a long time. Don't lie to me, I'll know.)

Somehow you find him more scary than the 5 Carvanha trying to attack you.

You: "Magikarp." (I'm just trying to buy medicine for my family. I had over $300 but those Carvanha stole some of it and now I won't have enough unless I get it back!)

Sharpedo: "Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo." (Hahahaha. Poor little lost Karp. Medicine costs $700 here. It's a remote village, not a big town. Why do you think that little gang was wasting their time mugging Karps? Everyone's desperate.)

What!? $700!? That's more than twice your entire family's savings.

Sharpedo: " Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo. Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo" (But don't worry, Uncle Sharpy's here to help. Where I'm from, you do a favor to get a favor. So you do a little job for me and I'll get you what you need. )

He pulls you close, your eyes are an inch away from his teeth, then he indicates to a nearby hut, right on the edge of the village.

Uncle Sharpy: "Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo." (See that place there. There's someone inside who is very..... Important... to me. I've been waiting for a Karp to come along for a long time. All you need to do is spend the night with them and in the morning I'll owe you a favor."

You: "Magikarp. Magikarp. Magikarp." (I don't understand.)

Uncle Sharpy: "Sharpedo? Sharpedo Sharpedo Sharpedo. Sharp......edo..." (What's there to understand? Spend the night inside there and I'll get you what you want. Or don't and I won't. You do whatever you want Karp. I can't make you do anything and there's lots of ways to get what you want in this world. Trust me. Just remember that next time... Well maybe having me on your side is a good idea. )

The Sharpedo dives back under the water and swims away. This time you do have a choice and feel like following it would be a bad move.

However you realize he's right. Even when the store does open. You're just not going to have enough money. You need to do something drastic.

What do you do?

A. Break into the store and steal the medicine.
B. Go to the Casino and gamble.
C. Rob the pub. That trio probably have tons of money.
D. Find a way to earn money legitimately. I'm an honest fish.
E. Do the task for Sharpedo. It never hurts to have friends.
F. Leave the village. This place is crazy and if I head closer to home, which I need to do anyway, prices go down.

B. No.

Finally free and alone again, you take a moment to assess the situation.

The bad news: You're tired and still in incredible pain from the various beatings you've endured. You don't have the medicine, the only store that sells it closed. You don't know where you are or how to get home and you're floating in a shallow dirty puddle in the middle of the night.

Hmm...

And the good news:..... Well you're still alive!... Rest of the good news needs some work.

You flop across the village back towards the pond, you're no good out of water. Looking around as you hop the only things still open are the pub and the Game Corner gambling den.

Back in the pond you find it hard to keep your eyes open. The day has caught up with you. You're exhausted. You can just have a little nap maybe.... That is until you swear you felt something brush past you while you were nodding off. But that's impossible in the water.

Hang on wait!

You lost $25.

You look around and see a Carvanha speeding away from you. That damn dirty fish just robbed you!

Carvanha: "Carvanha! Car-Van-ha!" (Nyah nyah nyahnyahnyah!)

It zooms off deeper into the water. You follow in hot pursuit! You need that for your grandfather.

It zig-zags a little then shoots down an underwater tunnel. You follow it awkwardly in the darkness. You're catching up! Ha the tunnel's coming to an end, you're gonna corner it.

Until...Uhoh.... Right at the end of the tunnel 4 more of them emerge from obscure holes. They were waiting for you. And there's several miscellaneous bones behind them. It's a trap! Come to think of it, it probably let you catch up!

The first Carvanha spins round and grins at you.

Carvanha #1: "Carvanha. Carvanha. Carvanha." (Hand over everything and we'll rip you to pieces)
Carvanha #3: "Carvanha." (or)
Carvanha #1: "Carvanha. Carvanha." (Or! or we'll rip you to pieces!)

Mom always warned you to avoid fast relationships...

What do you do?

A. Splash
B. Use Item: $287
C. Trainer! I choose you!
D. I think these guys are going to be needing a nurse. Get 'em Officer Jenny
E. Go Bruno!
F: Flee. You can't fight them underwater.
G: Throw a pokeball at one of them.

F. Throw a pokeball at him

Nows your chance! You grab one of your Heal Balls and then immediately drop it.

Oh yeah the napkin. You spit and sputter to get it out , using the water in the puddle to your advantage, then you pick up the ball again and twist. Throwing it right at crying Bruno.

The ball smacks him directly across the face and he doesn't even flinch. Then in a flash of light he's caught inside the ball.

The ball drops to the ground and stays perfectly still. It doesn't wobble at all. Bruno didn't even fight it.

You caught a BRUNO

BRUNO is fully restored from HEAL BALL

Would you like to give BRUNO a nickname?

A. Yes ________
B. No

He staggers across the village and into a pub but upon entry is instantly confronted by 3 young adults. All blocking him from reaching the bar.

Lenny: "Hey! We told you already, you're barred from here. Get lost."

???: "Shaddup! I don't see your hic... Your name on the door. Why should I listed to you Digley, digless! and digoafy!"

Benny: "It's Benny, Kenny and Lenny and you know it!"

???: "Oooo such a trio! So scary! Pfft. I'm Bruno! That's right punks! THE Bruno. From the Elite 4. I can do whatever I like! So don't mess with you... I mean with me!"

Kenny: "No. You WERE in the Elite 4 like 500 years ago. Before you got absolutely humiliated by a little kid. Now you're a laughing stock."
Lenny: "Well he was a laughing stock until everyone just forgot he existed."
Benny: "When was the last time he even won a battle anyway?"
Lenny: "He can't have one. He traded all his pokemon for cheap booze years ago. Then he got drunk and smashed up the Pokecenter."

Bruno: "I swear I only do that 3 times and I never hear the end of it...wait..hic.... 4 times..." he looks at you as he says it

Lenny: "Bruno face it. You're a loser and you're not welcome here no more. Just go home!"
Benny: "He can't go home. He doesn't have one anymore after the divorce."
Kenny: "Yeah his wife left him for another woman because she wanted someone more manly than him. Talk about the Elite Phwoar."

Suddenly Bruno leaps into the air with zero warning and does a handspring flip. You're sent along with him, flying through the air and instantly closing the gap between himself and the trio. In mid-air he spins into a high kick that catches Kenny directly in the chest, sending him flying backwards like he was shot out of a canon. A move that would be extremely impressive if not for Bruno immediately stumbling onto his backside afterwards and drunkenly writhing around on the floor groaning and coughing. In just as much pain as Kenny. Every time Bruno rolls onto his side he squashes you under his thigh.

Bruno: "Ugggggh...Agh God, I've got Pidgey crap in my eyes. I'm seeing more white than Sabrina on my birthday."

Benny: "Oh My God! You kicked Kenny!"
Lenny: "You bastard!"

Benny: "That's it, I'm getting Officer Jenny. You went too far this time."

Lenny: "Oh no! Not again! We don't need to drag our sister into this. That's just what Bruno wants. We throw him in Jail, he has a roof and now we pay for his meals. I'm sick of it. No. This time he's gone too far. I say we kick him out of town."

Bruno: "Oh yeah you little brats! Why don't you come over here and try it!?"

Lenny: "Alright."

Bruno: "Wait no you don't have to.... I just asked why..."

Lenny and Benny start advancing on Bruno who adopts a praticed Karate Pose, then loses his balance and stumbles over his own feet, falling face first to the ground. Scraping you across the floor as he lands. The bar floor is as dirty as Bruno's pants.

Lenny grabs Bruno's left arm and left leg. Benny grabs Bruno's right arm and right leg. Then they lift him up and hoist him towards the door.

Benny: "God he's wet and he smells."
Lenny: "Quiet....Ah 1.... And a 2... And a-"
Benny: "Oh God he's carrying a flipping fish..."
Lenny: "3!"

On 3 they toss Bruno out of the bar and into the muddy grass. This loosens the string attaching you to his pants and you're free, along with his bottles that fly everywhere. With a splat Bruno lands face first into a brown substance that you hope is mud. You land inside a small dirty puddle with a quiet splish.

Lenny: "This is your last warning ya bum, leave tonight. If you ever show your face in town again, it's going to be very bad for you!"

Bruno: "Oh yeah! Well I'm gonna be very bad for your face in town too because I'm bad and your face is also bad as a...ughh"

Bruno slinks down back into the mud, realizing they have just walked back inside. He wipes the worst of the mud off his face and sighs.

Bruno: "Embarrased by kids again...I guess this is it then... Rock bottom... Everyone thinks I'm useless. Ugly old Bruno the failure. Fat Bruno the hasbeen. Drunk Bruno the embarrasment. Oh I wish.... I wish I just had another chance. I could do it. I could be the very best, like no one ever was. I just need an oppotunity. I used to be in the Elite Four! Now everyone acts like I can't do anything... I just... I need.... just one person who still believed in me. I know I could get right back to the top, I could do it. Everyone would remember my name. I just need a break." Bruno says with tears in his eyes as his cradles his legs, sitting in the mud.

What do you do?

A. Splash
B. Give Bruno Item: $50
C. Give Bruno Item: $312
D. Give Bruno Item: x1 Heal Ball
E. Give Bruno Item: Breathmints
F. Throw a pokeball at him
G. Just ignore him, don't make eye contact and swim away. You're finally free.

A: Try to get the attention of the mysterious figure.

Whatever it is outside might be able to help. You flop to the door and start bouncing up and down. Banging your fins against the door now and then to attract attention.

You: "Magikarp! Magikarp! Magikarp! Magikarp! Magikarp! Magikarp! Magikarp! Magikarp!"

The mysterious figure seems to take notice and approaches the Pokecenter. As it enters some light for the first time you're surprised at what you see. You've never seen a pokemon that looks like that before.

???: "Wha... What is... hic... Will you shadapp!"

You hear a loud drunken voice shout as the figure leans against the door. Now in full view you realize it's not a pokemon at all, but a man. A large incredibly muscular yet very bloated figure with an absurd belly. Clearly once in pristine physical condition, but years of alcohol and junk food have taken their toll.

He has dirty unkempt hair and is wearing nothing but a pair of pants. No shoes. And around his waist are several bottles of beer, whiskey, sake and other liquids all tied to his pants with string.

???: "Eh.. hic..What!? What are you looking at? You making fun of me!? Don't you know who I am!?"

The man starts aggressively tugging at the door but it's still locked. It takes him a long time to process this and give up his efforts.

???: "HUUUUUURRRRRRRRYGH!..... HUGERRRRRRRRGH!.... Is it push or pull....HURRRRRRRRAAGHGHGHGH!.... Oh it's locked.... Hic.... What!? You think that just because you have a fancy locked door and I sleep in a dumpster that that makes you better than me! No one is better than me! I'm in the Elite 4!"

You: "Magikarp?"

???: "STOP JUDGING ME! Everybody always judges me! Oh that is it! You're going to pay now! hic... o-o..hic... Onyx! USE .. Erm... Sub...Psy..Bind...er... That thing you do!! HURT IT!"

The figure shrieks as he hurls an object right at the door, hard! It smashes through what once was the door with a tremendous crash, making shards of razor sharp glass pour all over you.

Uhoh! You brace yourself and close your eyes expecting the worst and then...... Nothing happens.... Slowly you open your eyes. Wait... That's not an Onyx! It's not even a pokeball. He just picked up a massive rock and threw it through the door.

???: "Oh yeah.... I hic.. I forgot I traded my Onyx for a bottle of Sake... Wait a minute... You're a fish!"

You: "Magikarp."

Suddely he grabs you through the newfound hole in the door and picks you up, before you had time to react or do anything. He's surprisingly fast for someone so huge. You squirm around but he's expertly tied string around you and attached you to his pants like an absurd belt. You dandle there, in-between a bottle of whiskey and an empty green jar. You're completely restrained and helpless. You can't even reach your pokeballs.

???: "That's dinner sorted, but first.. hic... I'm going down to pub!"

Every step he takes causes one bottle to swing into your face, if not both. The smell of dried urine and beer is overwhelming

You: "Magikarp! Magikarp Magika-"

???: "Shaddup!" he yells as he stuffs a napkin in your mouth. You hope it's a napkin, the alternatives aren't worth thinking about.

Imagine I have two columns of things Infront of me.

One column is different items, a circle, a cube, a pen, etc.

The other column is rows of numbers.

We then make the assertion that, the number in the corresponding row of the item, is how many of that item we have.

Missingno is like some random guy coming over, going to row 6 and changing the quantity column to 128.

It doesn't need to know anything about the item because it's not touching the item itself.
Yeah I get it.

but it's weird.

I think I'm not explaining what I'm trying to say very well. I'm not saying no one has said how bad coding works. Just how weird and unexplained this example is.

She said needed

Rape victims need abortion. Wrong. They need love. They need support. They need safety and healing. They needed a Glock 19 when it happened.

Weird that abortions aren't support, love or safety but whatever.

This idea seems to stem from the idea that all rapes are violent strangers in alleyways.

Not that it doesn't happen but most rapes are people the women (and men) trusted or else they were drugged

A gun won't help much.

Also, why not both? You can arm women and still give them repoductive rights.

FFVII has an easy to do item dupe glitch as well as Yuffie warping.

Remember that Red/Blue/Green are held together by sticky tape and hope.
Sure but in FFVII you input the items. You just trick the game into creating more of them.

MissingNo has no connection to the inventory, no knowledge of what Item 6 is even is, you don't even need to catch it, it doesn't replace whatever Item 6 was or delete it and it just duplicates it.

And the glitch is fully consistent and can be repeated every time

If you had to use the item in battle or if you had to catch it or if item 6 was always replaced by a Potion or something, It would be less odd.

I really haven't seen stuff like that as glitch. I have seen stuff like that over and over as intentional secrets.

Why I always thought it was intentional as a kid.

Like in Baldur's Gate where you can steal random NPC's underpants and they have no use. But if you keep them and steal all the underpants across all the games, exporting the same character over and over. You can combine them into a super armor set.

If you told me that was a glitch I would be suprised too.

What glitches actually feel like glitches to you then?

Because pretty much all item duplication glitches kind of look like this.
Not really?

As I said look at FFVII. You have to plan and input the items yourself.
Or Dragon Age where you have to take advantage of the Sell and Sell All mechanics having different inputs.

Or like the Don Tonberry EX exploit in FFX, which is hidden but blatantly intentional.

If you follow Speed-runs and challenge communities. Glitches are weird and inconsistent. Meanwhile Easter Eggs and Secrets are not. World 0 in ToeJam and Earl wasn't a glitch.

That's why I always assumed this was a secret from the devs to sneak in a fun item dupe for the super fans.

I don't think I'm explaining myself well.

They're explaining that it's a code fuck up. But how the game confuses the code in this specific way, moving memory of meeting a pokemon to memory of Item 6 for absolutely no reason, Item 6 is turned to 128 due to a binary code fuck up, Item is not replaced only duplicated, is just answered with "I dunno I guess it just does somehow" which is weird.

That's not something you ever tend to see with glitches in games.

Someone did an all enemies are Gwyn run and that shit was hilarious

It's split into 2 parts, the asylum and then the rest of the entire game. That's how long it took him to get out of the asylum
I know this solely because someone told me Havel was still Havel.

which is hilarious

You end up in a place in the memory that isn't supposed to be pokemon data and executable code, but the game thinks it is anyway.
Sure I get that but how would you unintentionally program a game that confuses meeting an enemy with a random inventory slot AND THEN also confuses the binary code to increase the value of said item to 128?

People are explaining that it's a code issue but the just go "Somehow just happens to move it to the memory count of the inventory."

It's not like it's inconsistent either. Always Slot 6, always 128, glitch always happens the same way.

There's nothing else like it in the entire game.

It just seems so planned. To me anyway

and you know someone's going to attempt a "naked, level one, no-hit, no-death" run, and complete it.
Honestly that might be easier with this mod than the vanilla game.

Orestein and Smough hit super hard but easily get caught up on the terrain so fighting them is difficult, just run past them.

Armor only buys you a couple of hits and speed is esstential.

How can any conservative support this? I don't get how Republicans can openly look at this and go "Yup, that's my party. I want to throw in with these guys."

Good thing a Democrat has never done anything wrong ever. Wouldn't want to be lumped in. Your statement is just as ridiculous as this Manny Diaz.
THAT'S your defense of this?

You're still a proud Republican despite them openly wanting to bring back Polio because "Well A democrat may have done something bad too"?

It has lots of good ideas with a flawed execution I guess is a fairer way to say it. The ideas are clever, make sense and required some decent thought/planning... But the code has holes in.

It's like a complicated system of pipes that's a technical marvel, only some of the joins drip a bit.

No clue. I can only assume something overflows somewhere that ends up overwriting the item count at a given address for whatever reason due to the offset and memory packing.

"Every Pokmon has two separate bit lists that tells the game whether it has been seen or caught. If the bit is off, that means it hasn't been caught or seen.

MissingNo.'s Pokdex seen bit is in the same location as the bit that stores how many of the 6th item is in the Bag, as well as 'M (00)'s. This is why, when MissingNo. or 'M (00) is encountered, the sixth item slot is increased by 128 if the quantity of the item is less than 128. The glitchy box symbol is a result of the game attempting to display a number greater than 99, which causes it to grab sprites from beyond the number sprites. Sometimes it can appear to be a blank tile, but if one goes somewhere else or out of battle it will revert to an unusual tile."

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Item_duplication_glitch

So yeah, somewhat as I thought. MissingNo isn't a standard Pokmon, therefore his addresses for certain flags push outside the bounds of the usual Pokmon management memory and end up in the inventory memory blocks (they just happen to be next to each other I guess). The offset just so happens to leave that smack bang on the memory for "Item 6's item count". The game then sets the flag for "I've seen a MissingNo" which happens to be "Set that address to 128", which gives you 128 of that item.
That's just so crazy

It feels like a feature to me. It's hard to believe it was an accident.

Pokmon is known for a being a bit of a technical masterpiece

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

<_<

>_>



128 is 2^7, so a perfectly valid binary number (half an unsigned byte to be precise, or the positive values of a signed byte).

Okay but why randomly the 6th item?

Why does fighting it make the code decide this random specific item should become 128? Even if 128 is a valid binary number?

It's not like you have to set it up or use it in the battle. Like FF7's W-Item Dupe.
