Iceberg | Gen 1 Pokémon Glitches

The number of glitches in Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow and Green is astonishing. Glitches in gen 1 were a common theme, and while some of them did nothing, there are many like Missingno. the Ditto glitch or the Mew glitch that brought fun to a lot of players.

In this iceberg, we'll take a look at the glitches, flaws and broken mechanics of the first generation of Pokémon games.

Welcome to the Gen 1 Pokémon Glitches Iceberg.

that hybrid lavender town music is a bop

Red casually spinning through the hall of fame made me lol, even with that creepy music I just can't XD

I obtained a legit Mew at an event back in 1999. I learned how to clone it and would sell clones at school for £2 each. Made a small fortune back then.

I definitely recommend adding Pikasprey to the next iceberg, or at least one of them. He finds insane ways to softlock the games that are nearly impossible to get out of. highly entertaining lol

[disgruntleddude]

Surfing On Statues would be a sick band name.

I got a legit mew and a 'gold badge' for beating the editor of official nintendo magazine in a 1 v 1 match. Such a bizarre time in gaming.

The reason Missingno. corrupts the Hall of Fame is because of its sprite, which is too large and overflows when the game tries to compress it. The Hall of Fame data happens to be right near the sprite buffer data, so when it overflows the Hall of Fame gets totally destroyed with garbage data being interpreted as Pokemon species, levels, OTs etc.

You've got a really pleasant delivery. This was a nice trip down memory lane for me. I would've flipped if I'd known all these tricks when I played this game as a kid lol. Kudos.

Why is missingno so far down the iceberg? It’s possibly the most well known glitch in pokemon history

[RealKrumple]

If I remember correctly, youtuber MissingnoXpert had the hall of fame music glitch happen to him during his Lets Glitch Pokemon Blue series. Dont remember if he did it purposefully, but it certainly happened to him. The series was started a decade ago, so the music bug has been known for a long while.

[Gojira-rirj]

that hall of fame glitched data is creepypasta material, i’d probably be traumatized for days if i saw that as a little kid!

Pokémon fan club is a dungeon because it's a copy of Sylph Co. You can see a replica of the table, the couch and the pictures on the boss room.

1:42 they used the pokemon center interior for a lot of places, but changed the graphics to save space on the cart.

[stardmg]

The Kabutops, Aerodactyl and Ghost forms of Missingno. also have the unique behavior of copying their base stats, typing and experience group from the last Pokemon in the party (that isn't itself or another alt. form Missingno.) I've got no idea why they have that trait, but it's pretty cool and adds to the spooky Eldritch vibe. Dude's a shapeshifter.

Man, I wish your channel had these videos in one playlist! I love watching these.

[danielribeiro]

Man it's brilliant how simple and accurate you are! I love the fact that you make a new topic for every Pokemon Iceberg. Can't wait to see more!👏👏👏

Hello ! I have a glitch/trick that I use every time I can, it is to be able (just one time) to access the S.S Anne after getting the HM01 Cut, all you need to do is to black out right after getting the HM01 without exiting the ship, doing so you'll be sent back to Vermillion City and will be able to continue the adventure, after getting Surf you can go back to the S.S Anne and see by yourself the famous Mew truck :D

Gen 1 has glitches,
Also water is wet, fire is hot, and grass is photosynthetic

[lasercraft]

Huge missed opportunity not having MissingNo. as an OFFICIAL Paradox Pokemon in Gen 9.

When trying to level a pokemon from 1 to 100 like you mentioned with Nidoking, it important that the pokemon does not get enough xp to level up or they will simply go to level 2 (or whatever level they should be after the xp gain).
The trainer fly glitch can also be done by getting poisoned.
The levels of pokemon encountered with the missingno glitch are not random, they are also determined by the characters in your name.
