    You could clone items in the original games too iirc you would go swimming somewhere near cerulean city and keep going back and forth over the same spot and I think it would buffer overflow the item count for a certain slot in your backpack with a nearly infinitely high number.

      If you’re talking about the missingno glitch, you’d add 128 to the item count of your 6th item. This had the added bonus of potentially triggering an overflow if you already had 126 or more items there.

        Yup, go to coffee guy who shows you how to catch Pokémon, fly to Cinnabar Island and go straight right, surf and swim up and down without leaving the shore, enjoy scrambled encounter data

        To this day, I think what set me on a path of hermit isolation and no friends, is the fact that they patched that in Pokemon Yellow.

        Some nerdy kid at my school was selling printouts of how to do that. I didn’t like him so when I heard about it I just printed a bunch out at the library and started giving them away. He got a couple of his friends together and they jumped me coming in from recess. I was laying on the ground just like “… seriously, you want to fight me over that?”
