Tips & Warnings

• According to Nintendo's customer service section, the MissingNo is not part of the game, but it is a programming glitch. If you catch a MissingNo, it can cause the graphics to mess up. It can be fixed by letting the MissingNo go. If that doesn't work, start a new game, turn the Game Boy off without saving the new game, then resume your old game.
