You've seen Missingno, you've seen Kabutops skeleton, but have you ever seen a Trainer on the coast of Cinnabar? How did this happen? Why does he have an even bigger, scarier Missingno? Are Missingno trainers some secret class of trainer? And most importantly, what in the hell happened to the music?!?

Q: Where can I find that 'did you know gaming' video?
A: The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esIL1W_QBns
If you'd rather read about it, you can find that link here; https://youtuberead.com/watch-ar/mew-s-origs-a-sry-secrets-rums
Q: At 1:00 you mention the Pocket Monster Encylopedia... have you read it? Do you own it?
A: Nah, it's *very* rare and very expensive. Do You Know Gaming has a copy, and apparently they got it translated by the original translator who localized the first Pokemon, but as far as I'm aware, they've never shared it. (I hope they do someday though. It would be an amazing read).
Q: Wait, how do I catch mew?!?! You never actually explained!
A: The Mew Glitch, or the Ditto Glitch, is fairly simple, you can find it here: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_glitch
Q: Wait, if the coast only has like, 5ish missingnos, where are all the others?!
A: See that Mew glitch, right above this question? You can use that to summon other, more exotic missingnos. Some of these are very dangerous, but some are also very fun. I'm particularly fond of the missingno summoned with a special of 192.
Q: Bad Eggs, what?
A: There's a glitch in Gen 2 called the Celebi Egg Glitch. It requires a Bad Clone which is obtained via turning off the power while the game is saving so that you can obtain a pokemon that's missing some of it's data.
This "bad clone" can then alter the data of unhatched eggs through a very elaborate series of steps.
Q: Wait, I'm confused, what does this have to do with Missingno?
A: Oh yeah, so, when you trade with Gen 1 games in Gen 2, you enter something called the "Time Capsule." This Time Machine is supposed to have checks that prevent you from trading Gen 2 pokemon to Gen 1, which would cause a paradox, since Gen 2 pokemon haven't been invented yet.
Bad Clones confuse the time machine, so it stops accurately performing that check, allowing you to send Gen 2 pokemon over to Gen 1.
Q: I wanna go Missingno hunting!!!! Where can I start?
A: I recommend either Bulbapedia or Glitch City's Wiki.
Here's the Glitch City link to the Glitchdex: https://glitchcity.wiki/GlitchDex
Here's the list of pokemon available via the Time Capsule Exploit, in case you have a Gen 2 game lying around. https://glitchcity.wiki/Time_Capsule_exploit
They do have an *absurdly detailed* breakdown of the "mew glitch" aka "the trainer escape glitch" available here: https://glitchcity.wiki/Trainer_escape_glitch#Special_stat_encounter
But I find the bulbapedia one to be more approachable, since they list the Stats that correspond to each pokemon right there on the page: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_glitch
Aaand while I'm at it here's a link to their article on the old man glitch: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Old_man_glitch
Q: Wait, did I just hear another voice on Spamton?
A: That would be Gibby. You can throw them your [Sweet Sweet Kromer] for more [TERRIFYING VOICES] over on their Kofi https://ko-fi.com/thegibbous272
Q: Who did that EPIC opening song?
A: That would be Noxide, also known as Vincent Gray. He makes amazing custom audio of all sorts (not just video game covers) and would be delighted to take on your comissions here: https://ko-fi.com/vgraymusic
Q: Why are you printing all your pokemon from Pokemon Yellow? Do you not own a copy of Pokemon Crystal?
A: I do... but the battery died *just* as I was about to do that. I know how to change the battery of course, but cracking open a gameboy game takes a while, and I don't have the time for it, (yet!).
Q: I want to join your Patreon and print off those sweet Missingnos, but I can't find your Patreon!
A: Oopsie doopsie! Here is it: https://www.patreon.com/HalfBreadChaos?fan_landing=true
... wait did I forget the hashtag? Darn it me!
