10 Secret Exploits That Ruined Your Favourite Video Games

MissingNO. – the infamous glitch from Pokémon Red & Blue – is actually an exploit, allowing players to duplicate any item an infinite number of times. That said, this particular oversight has a nasty tendency of crashing and corrupting saved games, rendering it somewhat game-breaking.

Performing the exploit involves catching MissingNo. – which is discovered along the eastern shore of Cinnabar Island, besides the Pokémon Centre – inside a Pokéball.

Once done, the mysterious Pokémon would duplicate the sixth item in the player’s inventory – including master balls, and rare-candies – opening up a wealth of possibilities.

That said, MissingNo. causes several unwanted side-effects – including corrupting hall-of-fame records – which many players value tremendously. Besides that, the exploit renders the player so overpowered that the entire experience is nullified, leaving you only one remaining option: Stop playing.
