I like to think the reason it gets nuked is because Game Freak only knew that Cinnabar had something to do with Missingno but had no idea what about the area causes him to happen, so they just went "UHH THE VOLCANO ERUPTS, NOTHING HERE ANYMORE."

I wish this were actually the case, and programming errors in games always had to be solved by destroying the environments they occur in.

I wish they would try catching more things. I guess they only got all those pokemon in the safari zone because the means to catch them were literally forced onto the player.

Besides, it would be a good excuse to go back into the PC to bring them out. :unsmigghh:

Seriously. I figured they'd power through it in about two hours just because it's so absurdly simple. Leave it to Twitch Plays Pokemon to find special ways to fail.

If this section is causing fits, victory road is going to be spectacular.

Except everyone knows what happened with missingno. It's an unfortunate bug involving the way that the game determines what kinds of pokemon can appear in a random encounter and the way the game remembers your name during the old man tutorial. Hint: Those two pieces of information get saved in the same place.

While everyone knows how it works now, GameFreak may not have known anything beyond Pokemon catching guy + Cinnabar Island = missingno back when they were working on Gold/Silver. So it's possible they nuked Cinnabar Island to prevent missingno much like how they might have closed the Safari Zone to prevent Glitch City.

I'm pretty sure that the real reason Cinnabar erupts is just because even with Iwata's wunderkind compression system cramming the Mansion, Research Lab, Gym, etc etc was straining the limits of the GBC catridges and Cinnabar's content was probably the easiest to lop off to save memory.

Hell, I'm pretty sure you cant even MissingNo in Yellow, so they didnt need to nuke the island to fix the glitch.

They had like 3 ways of fixing Glitch City (Proper warp pointers, preventing flying out, making sure safari zone state is properly set on loading the game.) They wouldn't make half a Safari Zone then remove the entrance to it because of a dumb warp glitch.

Safari Zone's map is in there, as well as a bunch of other maps. It might have just been time constraints since I'm sure they were able to remove a few of the dead maps to include some of the more favourites. I think they just saw Safari Zone and the Burned Mansion as boring/unliked play mechanics/areas and decided to go a whole other route. I mean they didn't really need this place since they had the burned tower as the fire-filled multilevel puzzle place.

Safari Zone was a pain in the rear end, and I often would just find ways to get the pokemon there at Seafoam Island or Cinebar exploiting the glitches.

Plus, they were long games to begin with...outside of Black/White2 they probably had the largest post-game content

Nope. They fixed the missing No. glitch back in yellow.:colbert: myth busted.

You could access it with the mew glitch. It was safe and looked like Kabutops Skeleton, on your side, IIRC.

Yeah. My original team is still in Pokemon Stadium and unless I'm mistaken that is an inevitability as well. My perfectly balanced team of Charizard, Pigeot, Gyrados, Mewtwo, Alakazam, and a gamesharked Mew because. I rocked those HMs on them hard
