PewDiePie explains why Pok\u00e9mon confused him as a child YouTube: PewDiePie \/ Game Freak \/ NintendoYouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2018 Kjellberg took a break from his Minecraft series to react to software failure memes, and during the video he retold a relatable story about how a glitch in Pok\u00e9mon confused him as a child. Nintendo\u2018s Pok\u00e9mon came out in 1998 in North America and Europe, and kicked off a pop culture phenomena that still hasn\u2019t died down to this day. Children of the 1990s grew up with the Japanese games, and are still playing them in 2019 despite being grown-ups. PewDiePie is included in this group, and during his October 6 upload, he told a story to his audience about how a glitch in Pok\u00e9mon confused him during his childhood, and how it makes sense to him now as an adult \u2013 and we can all relate. PewDiePie\u2019s Pok\u00e9mon confusion Pewds was reacting to a Reddit community called \u2018softwaregore\u2019 that focuses on memes about software failing. However, when he came across a submission about a famous Pok\u00e9mon glitch, the Swede was brought back to when he played the role-playing game as a child. The submission was titled \u2018the OG software gore\u2018 and showed the infamous \u2018MissingNo\u2019 glitch that has players encountering scrambled up sprites instead of a monster. Reacting to the glitch, the Swede explained: \u201cThere is a story behind this, for you zoomers you wouldn\u2019t understand. There was this epic hidden Pok\u00e9mon that you can find. I think it was a glitch. It was super overpowered as well if you caught it.\u201d The YouTube king pointed out how the name actually gave it away as a glitch, but when he was younger it confused him. \u201cIt\u2019s called Missing Number. That didn\u2019t register for me as a kid. I was like OH MY GOD MISSINGNO!\u201d (Timestamp of 10:59 for mobile viewers.) What is MissingNo? Pewds got it right that MissingNo was in fact a bug. However, one of the main reasons this blew up among fans, besides being really cool to have, is that upon capturing the glitched-out sprite, it would duplicate the item in slot six to 128 \u2013 a really big deal for rare items. The glitch is found in Red and Blue, and is a dual-type bird\/normal Pok\u00e9mon. Upon encountering, players see scrambled sprites and are able to capture it. It also was featured in the Yellow version of the game. 600As of the time of this article, PewDiePie has 101 million subscribers, blowing past his 100 million YouTube milestone on August 25, making him the undisputed king of YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
