i normally don't like videos

but that was clever

I don't know what it is...but something is subliminally telling me to plz like the video...

2:19 actually, the water tiles are used instead. when the games got internationalized, the tile that determined wild encounters was changed to the bottom RIGHT tile for some reason. This is the same reason as why a lot of tiles in Viridian Forest can't give you wild encounters, specifically the ones with a flower in the bottom right corner. Speedrunners use this to make wild encounters extremely unlikely, but it doesn't work on the Japanese version.

"plzLi" i already know how this ends...

When I was a little kid I just about shit myself after the first time I did this because I encountered a level ~170 Mewtwo.

When I was like 10, playing my pokemon red, I experimented with Missing Numbers for a pretty long time. Once I learned that leveling them up can evolve them into a real pokemon, I was convinced I could use this trick to get a Mew. None of my efforts bore fruit, because I had no idea it was the trainer name that determined what appeared...still, gotta admit I'm pretty impressed with myself for how close to the mark I was, considering my age.

Maybe you should do a video about the Pomeg Glitch from Gen 3 and its sub-glitches. There's A LOT to talk about, including various glitch Pokemons with various effects.

You are correct about the world tiles being split into 4 smaller tiles. But what's actually happening is a bit different from what you say in the video. The bottom right tile is actually used to determine if wild encounters are possible or not, while the bottom left tile determines which bank of wild pokemon memory to pull wild pokemon data from. The bottom right tile is water, which means wild encounters are possible. But the bottom left tile is a land tile, which tells the game to pull data from the bank of wild pokemon associated with land (remember, in Viridian City you can fish, water pokemon are stored in a different bank).

This is also the reason a different glitch is possible on Red and Blue. In the Viridian Forest, if you pay close attention, some of the grass tiles are decorated with a flower sub-tile. The ones that have a flower sub-tile on the bottom right do not produce encounters, because the flower sub-tile is not associated with wild pokemon encounters.

Neither of those glitches work in Pokemon Yellow. They fixed the code so that the same sub-tile determines if wild encounters are possible and which bank to pull wild pokemon data from, which they designated the bottom-left tile. That way, surfing on the east coast of Cinnabar does not produce any wild encounters.

I fell like I'm watching a pannenkoek video whenever I watch these types of videos

[montgomeryfortenberry]

No doubt about it, this is the most in depth vid regarding this glitch ive seen nice work

[ArchTalko]

This was legit _SO_ cool to watch, especially since you laid it out in a way that actually let me follow along. Don't know how intensive it is to make vids like these, but having them become regular additions to your Melee content would be awesome :D

Random comment, I'm really impressed and satisfied by you saying "Your name data *are/were* written to [...]." Almost no one seems to know that the word "Data" is actually the _plural_ of datum. Felt good to see someone get that right! The video was also great.

[Viva_Reverie]

I am very much for these kinds of videos, this kind of stuff is really fascinating to me. <3

[keegonde]

Saw this on Reddit today. Awesome video! Looking forward to more great content like this :)

Missingno. Was always one of my favorite Pokemon. I really wish it was made a canon Pokemon as a joke and reference to gem one.

You can also use those tiles to load the safari zone encounter table and catch safari pokemon outside the zone. Just dig or run out of steps in the part of the zone with the needed encounter table, fly to cinnabar, start surfing and catch your chansey, tauros, scyther, etc during normal battle without having to rely on shitty safari ball RNG.

that PlzLike was smooth, even 7 years later. Liked and subbed.

[Clawyf]

What if missingno had Luigi's wavedash?

[connor.chan.jazzman]

Can you explain IN DEPTH the Oot "wrong teleport/warp glitch?" Plz do it Scrumpy!

[funkie]

I'd would be awesome to see an explanation of what happens when missingNo. evolves and why one can battle Dr. Oak! So much left to be explained! Thank you!
