I believe you, because the HP bar thing is exactly what I saw when I tried to do MissingNo-only E4 runs. The ROCK TUNNEL, and glitchy text also matches MissingNo-related problems.

One time, during one of those E4 runs, Bruno's Machamp had a sprite glitch that looked like Ho-Oh... And I went insane, because I thought I had "solved" one of the missingno sprites lmao

Yeah it was weird it was a new save file and happened at the route next to Bills house.
I didn't use Mew glitch.
My game might have been one of those cases where it's permanently glitched after you encounter Missingno for the first time.

Good old Pokémon games and their bugs.
It was insane when I first tried cloning Pokémon in gen 2 and failed.
Next time playing I got pokerus on my Chinchou. The exp it recieved from the next battle got corrupted and it instantly grew up to level 100 after the battle. 😄

lol, here I am actually somewhat glad about it because a mega would make it even more indistinguishable from Garchomp

I'd much prefer a regional variant that makes Flygon into a special attacker. I truly think that's the best way forward and would help Flygon stand out way more than it currently does.

Nonsense, what Flygon has over Garchomp is a defensive niche. Even in Gen 3, when it was actually used, it's purpose was to outlive the attacker among the endless sandstorms that Tyrannitar created by being immune to chip damage, all the while distinguishing itself by actually being able to deal damage(unlike other walls, for example Blissey or Claydol). Lean into that niche and you can easily make Flygon usable again. The fact that they didn't include a mega for it in ORAS because they were too lazy just goes to show how much of a wet fart the entirety of Gen 6 was.

Missingno is actually largely harmless, the only real damage it does is to your Hall of Fame data. Everything else is temporary and nothing can actually ruin your game. Now, Missingno in Yellow is another story, that one is much more unstable and unless you encounter it in unique circumstances(very technical details, requires you to troon out to even understand it) it will usually just crash your game unceremoniously.

Just make Flygon a fucking Bug type like it should be. Take away levitate too so it can something more interesting.

its not related to mew exclusively, its a missingno related bug (probably due to values not updating with the level change). looks like it leaked to that specific oddish - which granted makes me think of the mew thing if its that specific trainer - but since it works like the missingno underflow, im wondering if that specific oddish already had an error in its code basekit, which was then made worse or corrupted with the missingno.

not too sure if it would still be glitched after the internal battery dies/replaces or if its just permaglitched now though.

but to be fair a lot of this is what made it very interesting as a plot device in the creepypasta stuff too.

I always thought that was kind of weird. Because at the time, I've thought that was supposed to evolve into an weird bug/ground type instead of this weird antlion dragon

The design was great, but making Trapinch Bug/Ground and then trading out ground w/ Dragon upon evolving into Vibrava just makes more thematic sense. Plus having a powerhouse bug type that isn't fucking Heracross would have been nice.

Another "no one will ever believe you" story that I personally experienced was my first (maybe second save file because of a dumbass brother wanting to play it) playthrough of Silver. After releasing the Legendary Beasts, I left the Burned Tower and was walking through Ecruteak when suddenly, for a split second, one of the sprites

ran by on a rooftop and tree tile complete with the running soundeffect. I was blown away. Was in this area (red dots is the movement I saw the sprite go by).

No idea why that occured, and it never happened again even with repeated playthroughs (thanks, battery). Likely a really weird bug.

Wait, I swear I remember that, too. I was at the top of the screen, and I saw one running. It might've been in Crystal, since they added more overworld encounters with suicune, but I remember that.

I also remember one time, when I was playing Blue with a friend, we saw a scientist in Cinnabar Island walk backwards.

That guy.
And my friend and I both looked at each other, because we both saw that. It's such a minor thing, but it still sticks out to me.

I miss these kinds of mysteries in games. Little things, that are, in all likelihood, just glitches.

That's wild, but yes, that sounds right for my position. The house was at the bottom of the screen.

I'm sure I've seen that guy moonwalk before as well, not sure if this was ever caught on camera. There's a couple of NPCs that'll apparently do weird stuff like that due to how they move in their contained spaces. Fun stuff.

@flygon it doesn't stand up against chad Garchomp. Even the BST similar kingdra outclasses it by far with better typing, ability and stat distribution. The only thing flygon has is it's ability. It's over for flygon.
Even the actual bug type dragonfly Yanmega is better.

@all tell about any time in Pokémon games you played like a moron because you didn't know you were one. Like when I pressed B on mudkip my first time ever in gen 3.
It never learned mud shot. I lost so hard to may multiple times i thought grovyle was a god.
So I restarted the game with treecko and didn't knew it would become the hardest playthrough ever with the bad type matchup of sceptile.

I want to hear your stories, go.
 
I started reading the pokémon special sun and moon manga, quite comfy so far.

Whenever I cant complete a puzzle by myself and have to look for answers on google (usually a romhack, not the original games).

I had an retarded friend bitch to me about not one-shotting an Gyarados with an electric move. I told him to go touch some grass and gain some levels because that's how an lot of RPGs works.

It went about as well as you'd expect.

As for me, I really don't remember hitting into any major roadblocks; I've gotten into the series while I was in high school and Gen 4 and 5 were kind of good. But they were incredibly easy. In fact, the only time that I got floored was the Steelix fight in the Pokemon ranger series

I didn't matchup well against Will and caught an ursaring in victory road. I was wondering why faint attack dealt so little damage when it says super effective.
