    Gamers Outreach is an excellent charity I've donated to before, and by donating through today's sponsor; Omaze, you can have a chance at a $20,000 PC prize! Head to this link to learn more. omaze.com/lockstin Can't believe I'm reminiscing about a multi-day stay at a children's hospital. I had a large fissure in my intestines. But everything was a-okay as I found myself immersed in Mario 64. <3

    I couldn’t help but notice that the fossil and ghost forms of missingno use the letters w, x, and y to trigger their appearance, so next in line would be z... referring to porygon-z, and it also being the “final” version of the glitch
  • @bonzairob
    Cinnabar Island gets bugged because the one line of tiles on the right hand side has no encounter data of its own, so wherever you were last gets put in its place. The encounter data for the Old Man teaching you to catch pokemon is the buggiest!
  • @hiddenflare6169
    Oh glad you’re covering all the bird type Pokémon now. Was wondering when you would get to that.
  • @kwisowofer9872
    Is no one going to talk about the fact that Lockstin has 2 Hoppip plushies
  • @W0lF3y6
    Love how in english missing no. is 10 feet tall but in japanese it's only 1 meter
  • @mrpavopeacock
    I like it that Lockstin is using messed-up code and dev mistakes as canon lore material. So funny! :)
  • I was always hoping Gamefreak would eventually fold Missingno into lore and directly reference it in-game.
  • @Dragon_Racer_09
    Random fun fact: porygon Z and gallade are right next to each other in the national dex and their shinys are the same colors
  • I like the idea of Missingno being an earlier version and after being disregarded finds a way to escape, roaming around Cinnabar. I remember loving messing with the Missingno glitch when I was younger. Either catching it or using it to get 99x rare candies and Master Balls. Lol
  • The plot thickens with Lockstin's backstory. His formative introduction to the N64 occurred during a hospital stay in his youth, presumably something major enough as to have an extended stay that would necessitate some form of entertainment to preoccupy a child. He's shared so much like in his weight loss video!

    Nobody: Lockstin: "I am become mat pat, destroyer of theories"
  • imagine johto discovering missingno and hearing some of missingno cries matching to some of the pokemon of that region
  • @eizzah8323
    I always headcannoned MissingNo. as being the bug that occured when the Mew cloning experiment glitched and instead of producing Dittos produced Mewtwo through Blaine putting his cells in the mix
  • @wetburntbagel
    I love one of the time stops is called "LIFE UH FINDS A WAY”
  • @saulherrera4750
    My favorite missing no. theory is about it just being the evolution code for Marowak to evolve into Kangaskhan. Always been a favorite of mine.
  • Imagine they do add MissingNO in the future, and to get it you need to get a BadEgg from a Porygon. Cute way to poke fun at the history of bugs in Pokemon
  • @TamTroll
    i always liked the theory that the Dubious Disk had a computer virus on it, and that Porygon Z is Porygon infected or controlled by said virus.

    "Well it complies without errors, so that means it works!" -Scientist Ross probably
  • @santiagocam383
    Here's hoping that Lockstin finally explains why the Weather Trio has two forms
