i wonder if things like missingno have more or less impact on younger generationsless because everything is now documented in ways it just wasn't when red and blue were newwe know definitively:- why it happens and why it's affected by your name (||because talking to the OLD MAN temporarily stores your name in the encounter table, and that right strip of Cinnabar has encounters but doesn't reset the encounter table||)- why it sets item 6 to x127 (||the flag for if it was seen in the pokedex happens to be in a convenient location||)- why the sprite looks like that (||sprites are stored compressed; the decompression algorithm wasn't designed to deal with junk data and so tries its best with an invalid width/height||)- why the hall of fame corrupts (||the sprite decompression algorithm really wasn't designed to deal with junk data and ends up writing to places it really shouldn't||)but more because it's old, it's a little creepy, and someone has to be watching all those fake anti-piracy screen videos that show up when you read about some interesting actual piece of anti-piracy on TCRF and only find the fake ones if you go to search for itand i mean, are there any glitches more well known than it and

less because everything is now documented in ways it just wasn't when red and blue were newwe know definitively:

• why it happens and why it's affected by your name (
  because talking to the OLD MAN temporarily stores your name in the encounter table, and that right strip of Cinnabar has encounters but doesn't reset the encounter table

  because talking to the OLD MAN temporarily stores your name in the encounter table, and that right strip of Cinnabar has encounters but doesn't reset the encounter table
  )
• why it sets item 6 to x127 (
  the flag for if it was seen in the pokedex happens to be in a convenient location

  the flag for if it was seen in the pokedex happens to be in a convenient location
  )
• why the sprite looks like that (
  sprites are stored compressed; the decompression algorithm wasn't designed to deal with junk data and so tries its best with an invalid width/height

  sprites are stored compressed; the decompression algorithm wasn't designed to deal with junk data and so tries its best with an invalid width/height
  )
• why the hall of fame corrupts (
  the sprite decompression algorithm really wasn't designed to deal with junk data and ends up writing to places it really shouldn't

  the sprite decompression algorithm really wasn't designed to deal with junk data and ends up writing to places it really shouldn't
