What's your BIGGEST mess-up regarding Dragonball?

[jda95]

I used to call Kuririn 'Kukurin'....

*Not* picking up the 1997 Final Bout when in the bargain bin at EB Games only to have it shoot up to $200+ in 1999-2000.

Why would you want it?

To sell it since it was going for $200 shortly after he found it for like $5.

Ohhhh, makes sense.

[Bussani]

OH! Was that the rumor about (*Can't think of the spelling*) Maril? Marel? That round blue mouse-type pkmn?

Yeah. When pictures of Maril first came out, people called it Pikablu and said it was an evolution of Pikachu via a water stone.

They also said you could catch one in Glitch city behind Bill's house. Togapi too.

[Kuriza94]

For years I called Karin 'Karen'.

Don't ask.

What I remember most vividly is Missingno and how it could glitch your game forever if you tried to go after it (in the original red/blue games).

I think that rumor turned out to be true though. Some people said Missingno was originally supposed to be data for Mew.



Oh! And for on-topic; my biggest mistakes regarding DB were thinking Yamcha was Goku's father, and that Freeza was a woman. (Some kind of evil queen of the universe).

Off topic again, does anyone remember the rumor that there was a Mew in the truck on the wharf?

Yes. XD

I also heard that if you tried to get him there, you could get stuck ontop of the truck forever (if you saved your game afterward that is).

This site should create a 'Pokemon rumor guide'.....

I can't believe I was able to remember some of those rumors. XD

I never tried any of them out though (aside from going down to the wharf, then chickening out) because I was afraid of glitching my game up forever. I worked hard on that Pkmn Blue; I think I actually did fill its Pokedex.

[Herms]

The first thing of DragonBall I ever saw was one of the segments where Goku is training on his way to Planet Namek. So I assumed Goku was a spaceship captain.

[jda95]

Not my error, but I used to know someone who called him 'Soon Goku'.

Missingno was a real one. If I remember right it was caused by an oversight in the way the Pokemon were numbered, resulting in it being the default number 000, or something like that. This was only in the original Red and Blue versions though, the newer versions use a different numbering system that removes the glitch.

Good thing I never tried to catch it then. ^^;;;


I heard lots of rumors about Red/Blue regarding glitches back in the day.

[Bura]

Back in the day I read many fanfics and saw many edited images which lead me to believe that FUNimation actually also cutted KISSING from the original. Yes, back then I believed DragonBall Z had to contain some romance... How naive I was...

Even some romance animes don't contain kissing, just 'expressions of love'.

No, the Pokemon numbering used the hexidecimal system to determine identities, and since there were only 151 of them, if you ended up in a battle with one of the 105 hex numbers not used for an existing pokemon used to determine who you face, you end up facing a Missingno glitch pokemon. Of course, this isn't supposed to happen during normal play, the glitch basically involves watching the one computer-controlled battle in the game (an old man demonstrating how to catch pokemon), which temporarily overwrites the "pokemon in this area" data with the name you gave your character so they can use "OLD MAN" as a trainer name for that one battle without completely overwriting your name, then going straight to the one area in the game that has wild pokemon battles with no destignated pokemon to it, a small strip of water right off the coast of Cinnabar Island. Getting into a battle there wil simply make the game use the still-existng data from the previous area (which means it can also be used to face wild Safari Zone pokemon in standard battles), and since that is currently holding the data for your name instead of actual pokemon list data, you end up with identification numbers that don't always correspond to an actual pokemon. Hence, Missingnos can (and most likely will) appear when you do this.

Yeah, it's a bit complex.

It also has to do with what characters you have in your name. There's a huge list floating around somewhere of what Pokemon you can catch on the side of Cinnabar Island based on what your name is.

Oh yeah, and, Dragon Ball.

Sir, I officially just lost my shit.

My biggest "Mess up" would probably be thinking that Majin Boo and Kaio were the same person, at this point I had played more of the video games than I had actually seen of the series.

[Adamant]

Dragon What?

Ah yeah, my biggest messup was definitly back when I first played Butoden 2 with absolutely no clue as to the plot of the Cell saga beyond the very bare minimum, and somehow got into my head that the badass green villain guy was this "Mr. Satan" character I had heard of, while mistaking the actual Mr. Satan for Chapa-ou.

Did I win?

[Bussani]

mistaking the actual Mr. Satan for Chapa-ou.

You won.
