8 Most Infamous Video Game Glitches Of All Time
6. Missingno - Pokemon Red And Blue
Missingno. The Pokemon that simply should not have been. The glitch that destroyed the competitive battling scene on your local playground, and quite possibly the most impactful piece of rogue code on your childhood.
This was the stuff of legend.
Starting as hushed whispers from kids in the class above you, by the time the final school bell rang, there was a stampede to get home and find the supposed "inifnite item glitch" Pokemon.
Now at the time we were used to being burned, with some kids in my class still insisting that they managed to capture Mew by fishing it out from under that bloody truck, so of course we approached this supposed holy grail with caution.
Therefore finding it to be true was one of the greatest moments of my Poke-fan life. Don't get me wrong, having the opportunity to level all of your critters up to max level by duping Rare Candy and capturing every single new face with infinite Master Balls ruined the entire tone of the game, but hot dang was it fun to finally fufil that childhood dream of actually catching 'em all and being the very best.
Take that Ash, you absolute scrub.
