10 Infamous Glitches That Break Classic Games

By Richard John Dorricott /

10. Infinite Items Glitch (Pokémon Red and Blue)

Though the glitch known as €œMissingNO.€ from Pokémon Red and Blue allowed players to duplicate items indefinitely, it also had a terrible habit of rendering the game completely unplayable and even corrupting save files. If you caught MissingNO. inside a Pokéball €“ by travelling along the eastern shore of Cinnabar Island and surfing next to the Pokémon Centre €“ it would duplicate the sixth item in your inventory, including master balls and rare candy. In that respect, the MissingNO. glitch ruined the game in two ways: it corrupted your save data €“ including your hall of fame records €“ and it made you so overpowered that the entire experience became exceedingly pointless. I know having 1000+ rare candy sounds cool, but you won€™t know what to do with yourself once every challenge has been rendered obsolete, besides stop playing.
