  Local YouTuber talks about the strategic pros and cons of utilizing the equivalent of eldritch/lovecraftian beings for battle in a decades old videogame.<br>I enjoyed every minute.

  The most broken Pokémon ever, ravagers of tiers, brings even Mewtwo down to its knees: “p”

  Missingno being on the lower/lowest end of the glitchmon viability is like when there&apos;s a character that in-universe is this overwhelmingly powerful villain that needs entire teams to take down, and then in-game they just lose pretty much every matchup and have extremely gimmicky or just bad tools. It&apos;s really funny how this glitch that&apos;s so infamous is kinda weird in a fight, while many unknown glitch mons are just out here punting Arceus like a foam soccer ball.

  I love the idea of a random bug catcher challenging you enthusiastically with their army of Caterpie only for you to send out the incomprehensible mass of pixels and making him see god.

  C1, one of the most broken glitch Pokemon of all time, evolves into Spearow at level 9.

  Glad to know Missingno’s stats were repurposed later on for Rampardos!

  Good news regarding Big Bingus!<br>Because Pokemon RBY contains like five or six Arbitrary Code Execution exploits you can manually reprogram the game from inside to include literally anything the hardware is capable of performing!

  For some reason, this stuff and the way it is presented makes me giggle like crazy, especially the little blurbs the Pokémon have sometimes where they smack talk each other in the infographics. So, thanks for making this! :)

  Spore Gengar would legitimately be terrifying. Still gets outsped by Alakazam and Starmie, but absolutely ban-worthy regardless.

  &quot;It&apos;s a normal type with Swords Dance, a trait only shared with Lickitung...&quot;<br><br>Farfetch&apos;d: &quot;Am I a joke to you?&quot;<br>(In all fairness, the answer is &quot;yes.&quot;)

  Fun fact about Missingno: the reason its base stats and movepool are the way they are is because it pulls its data from the trainer data of the bikers on cycling road

  I can’t be the only one who thought it was really cool that there was a glitchmon named m’pu cause that’s what Ed from cowboy bebop called their computer friend right
