Has anyone ever did the missigno cheat in the Pokemon universe? I heard you could level up your chars super fast this way and was wondering.

Used to do it all the time. You can duplicate RARE CANDY endlessly, thus = super fast Lv.UP.

In the second generation, POKEMON GOLD/SILVER, you could duplicate Pokemon with a storage BOX glitch.

IIRC, Save your game, then you deposit the PKMN you want duplicated in an EMPTY BOX, then switch boxes, prompting the game to save. When it says DO NOT TURN OFF POWER, wait until right before it saves the game fully and TURN THE POWER OFF.

When you turn the game back on, you should have that PKMN in the same spot it was in your party, but walk up to the PC and switch to that BOX and you should also have a duplicate of that PKMN, right down to gender, moves, stats, exp and level.

Great for EEVEE.

I abused the heck out of the MissingNo. bug. If I recall, it was somewhat more difficult to pull off in Yellow, but only somewhat. What showed up when you did it depended on what your character was named, so you could find level 110 Bulbasaurs, for instance, or fight Blue and his bizarre collection of 6 glitched pokemon, allowing you to pull of item duplication multiple times in one encounter.

Man. The memories.

I did both the MissingNo glitch and the cloning cheat in gen II. It worked, even though it messed up by hall of fame records.

I've tried it. It works and it is awesome. Depending on what you name your character, it's possible to catch all 150 pokemon using this glitch without trading. There's even a different glitch to catch mew. I'll link tutorials for both below.

Oh! Forgot about the Mew glitch! Imagine if someone discovered it in the 90s how nuts it would have been.

I did try it too a few years back. Can confirm it works. And causes endless smile at the Mew you caught technically without cheating.

Can't imagine how hard mew is to catch.Catching abra is quite hard enough for me and a pain to get.

Yeah but Abra is meme famous for being a twat to catch.

Scumbag Abra is one of the best.

Basically appears and won't let you escape only to Teleport away.

Mew isn't so hard to catch, really. Just have a lot of Poke'balls and paralyze, it isn't a high level.

Extremely high Special Attack, good Speed and powerful move set but bad Defense.

I personally do not use Psychic types ever, nor do I use Psychic moves. Just not my thing.

Psychic mons in gen 1 were horribly overpowered anyway.

Anyway, I beat the E4 in gen 1 with a really low-leveled team. Levels 48-52.

Then I did the item dupe glitch and then lost that record completely.

Oops. Oh well.

Dude, no. Kadabra is Psychic, Low Kick is a Fighting-type move.

I'd say you had a Primeape. But can't remember if Low Kick is in it's move-set. Could have been a Machoke.

And idk what changed about Low Kick from Gen I to Gen II but yes, it was very op in the original games but from Gen II onward, the Attack damage was based off of how heavy the opponent was (the heavier the foe, the more powerful the attack ranging from it's base of 50 to a max of 120).

I know the battle mechanics were slightly different in Gen I, for example, High Critical Hit Ratio Attacks were based off of a Pokemon's Speed stat, so a Persian with Slash can Critical Hit every time, and get STAB. So basically a lot of 1-hit KO.

Ok you were right it was machopa the low kick.I just remember one shotting enemies with low kick.

I now remember kadabra, and I never liked confuse and some of his other abilities.Psybeam is pretty good though.Im pretty sure I used it but leveling up a abra sucked.

Yeah like I said, the battle system in Generation I is weird. Psybeam and Psywave rule in Gen. I but suck afterward, Psychic is a terribly overpowered move and the type is just too OP in those games in general.

I always preferred a Mankey/Primeape to Machop/Machoke. Faster, better move set and can be a beast if you teach it one of Fire Punch/Ice Punch/Thunder Punch to use against Ghost/Psychic just in case/

They just screwed up giving psychic-type any good counters. Bug-type was horribly underpowered and usually stuck to poison-type, and then ghost-type got shafted with its own (programming) bug and even regardless of that the only ghosts there are in gen 1 are half-poison-type. Poison was just generally too prevalent; if not, even bulky grass-type users could potentially be a foil to psychic-types.

But no, instead, the real "untouchable" type of gen 1 is psychic-type, while the intended one -- dragon -- was one no one touched because it was just too inaccessible -- not to mention that flying-type made dragonite suck more despite all they probably wanted to do was to give it immunity to ground.

Also fun fact: ground attacks can beat up ghosts in gen 1.

Yeah the dual-type Bug/Poison and Ghost/Poison pisses me off to this day. There are literally no good Bug types that don't have a terrible Stat pool or dual-type. Heracross would be awesome but no, this Bug type is also a Fighting type so it is weak against what it is also strong against (Psychic). Pinsir just flat out sucks (Mega Evolution and everything), bad Defense and crap move pool. Scyther would be great if it weren't also a Flying type and Scizzor sucks horribly as an evolution. Way too weak vs Fire, a Steel that is weak vs Rock, also weak vs Fighting and loses levitate so it is susceptible to Ground.

And I want to like Ghost types, I always really wanted to. But in Gen I there are only 3 and they blow, in Gen 2 they introduced 1 and you couldn't get it until the final dungeon where you fight Red aka Ash Ketchum, some 50+ hours into the game and it sucked (Misdreavus). Even now, the best Ghost type there was, Sableye (because it had no weakness) now is weak vs Fairy type.

And I have a serious problem with the Fairy type and what became Fairy and what didn't and how OP the type is. On one hand I love that a Pokemon such a Mawile is now Steel and Fairy. It was always a lacking Poke. But Chansey is still just Normal, Skitty, Aipom, Smeargle, Eevee, Buneary, and Dunsparce are all just Normal? Dunsparce and Smeargle especially would have greatly benefited from a Mega-Evolution or second Type. Or in the case of Smeargle, it should have just become a Fairy type. Dunsparce definitely should have gotten a Mega-Evo and at least one of the cat types should have become Fairy.

And Mega Evolutions... I'm still on the fence. It was one of numerous welcome additions to the stagnant battle formula but only Pokemon that didn't need a Mega Evolution got one, meaning the ones who were already strong enough. Of course, the main Pokes got them and the most popular and the starters. But there should have been more like Mega-Mawile or Mega-Sableye, Pokemon that don't evolve normally in other words.

Isn't Gengar still considered overused in the Gen 1 metagame?

Still, you have to have a link cable to get Gengar and I honestly never had an issue with Gengar except in Gold/Silver vs. Morty because just about your only option at that point in the game is to Mud-Slap the shit out of him since Ghost has no immunity to Ground in Gen. II.

Yeah, Hypnosis misses too much for him to be a real threat. Honestly, you'd have a harder time against a Dunsparce that knows Yawn, Roost, Dream Eater and Return than you would against any Gengar, ever IMO.

Hypnosis is a pretty useless move, IMO. It hits at about 50% and the second it misses you're screwed. Not many other options in Gen. I, but that just means it isn't a good option in the first place. Even Sleep Powder hits at about 50%.

Surprisingly, though, Parasect is an incredibly under-rated Pokemon in Gen. I, it's signature attack is Spore, which hits at 100% and puts the opponent to sleep. Then, the next 3 moves should be Mega Drain, Slash and Sword's Dance. Boom. Sweeper right there.

1st Move: Spore. Then, Sword's Dance. If foe awakens and hits you, Mega Drain then Spore again. Sword's Dance once or twice more then Slash the hell out of everything.

With three Swords Dances, Leech Life can 3HKO a Mewtwo.

Which, of course, is the only reason to keep Leech Life on it. To humiliate Mewtwo.

I'm a huge fan of Remoraid/Octillery. Quilfish is pretty good if you know how to use a Poison-type. I'm a cancer (69) so I have a soft spot for Water-types. Vaporeon is a BEAST. And Fraokie/Fogadier/Greninja is possibly one of the best Pokemon ever if you have Protean.
