What has been its effect on Pokemon Gen 1 and those who play it?

I still wished Gamefreak would make Missingno official by making it into an UltraBeast. It looks like no normal pokemon, it appears in an unusual place (maybe through a warp hole?) and it doesn't have to make much sense. Like an Ultra Beast. #MakeMissingnoOfficial

[FletcherReedsRandomness]

Anyone else think Missingno looks kinda like the Tetris L-block?

[HMZeroTwo]

Imagine maxing out on Rare Candies to level up your Pokémon

[jovenc]

Screw Rare Candies, I used it for unlimited Master Balls.

Edit: holy crap I didn't expect this comment to get so many likes (or any). On a side note, I found out the hard way that a lvl 100 pokèmon leveled with only Rare Candies is actually weaker than even a lvl 80 leveled through battle..

[ChristopherMoom]

Missingno should be a DLC Fighter in Smash Ultimate

(Summons Arceus the pokemon god against Missingno)


Arceus: _scared and ran away_

Missingno becomes missingyes when it sees you

[monytontana]

I vividly remember discovering this when I was like 8 years old... That would have been '99. I'll never feel as cool as I did then.
Damn, where has my life gone

[TheWolfboy]

I had the opposite. Missingno *created* my fear of chaotic, unknowable beings lurking in the fabric of reality. As soon as I made the connection to “what would this look and act like in the anime?” I wondered what Missingnos _this_world had. That’s a dark path.

[petercarioscia]

I can't remember how we all found out about missingno without the internet hahaha but we ALL knew about him.

[lrod]

If GF ever make Missingno official, it would have it’s own typing: a “digital” type. It’s ability: Time Corruption: (Basically Trick Room and Wonder Room in one turn)

[yoshiminecraftandbackyardi]

This made me feel like missingno shouldn’t be forgotten, I feel like it should be turned into an actual Pokémon

[AshJVII]

Petition for Grant to put the intro at the end next video

[brna]

Missingno is a purple backwards has a purple and yellow backwards l on his hat
Missingno=waluigi?!?

[CanadianDan]

Huh... _who would’ve guess that he’d be a mystery with a name like that?_

[baacloud]

There's something about "PikaPeen" with the number 69 below it that stands out...

[SheosMan]

There's also a theory that Deoxys may actually be Nintendo's way of making Missingno legit

[CloudySkies]

But what if you name _yourself_ OLD MAN? 🤔🤔🤔

[Tanks.With.Teeth.Malloy]

MissingNo as a kid terrified me. I remember the first time seeing it I freaked out so hard. Goosebumps and just chills. For some reason anything that wasn't supposed to happen just terrified me.

Now though I do look fondly on it. What a time to be alive. All the rumors and myths about it being a god pokemon was just incredible to live through. We'll never have anything like that again, and that is why I love it so much now. The nostalgia hits hard everytime I watch videos on glitches in pokemon games.

[Portersona]

Missing no. is a backwards "L"...


Waluigi's symble is a backwards "L"....


*WALUIGI CONFIRMED FOR POKEMON SOWRD AND SHIELD!!!!*
