Pokegods - Are They Real?

Consider:

--There is no rational explanation for how a set of roughly consistent "myths" about more than 150 Pokemon in Red, Blue, and Yellow would simultaneously emerge in the late 90s - well before most people used the Internet, with many of these kids claiming they had obtained or seen Pokegods first-hand, or been to Pokegod cities.

-Many of the codes were highly specific, referenced specific areas which were identified over and over again (the grass outside Pallet Town, the area behind Bill's house, the truck adjacent to SS Anne, or the Hall of Fame. It's true people found little while testing in these areas, but these people almost invariably forced access via some kind of glitch. They didn't go through the codes.

-There are several references to Pokemon outside of the original 150 in the script of the game, including a man on Cinnabar Island who after you trade him Raichu for Electrode, he says: "that Raichu you traded me went and evolved." Other lines exist in the game hinting at more than 150 Pokemon, and of secrets hidden within the innermost framework of the game.

-Pokegods appeared in the anime *well after* the rumors started online. This includes Venustoise, Dimonix, and others. The anime directly referenced the possibility of more than 150 Pokemon.

-The games, particularly Red, Blue, and Yellow, are not just software but something deeper. At 29 years old, playing them I still notice a marked difference in my success when I really believe in my Pokemon and form a bond with them - more accuracy, more critical hits, and my Pokemon dodge attacks more. I've also noticed a greater degree of success when I don't fap, to the point where I won't even play it unless I have at least four weeks of sexual energy reserved.

I would say these facts point to the RBY games having a psychic dimension, something which defies the notion the game is purely source code. The mainstay of arguments dismissing the existence of the Pokegods.

Grow up, Pokémon is a game for 5 year olds.

No one care. It's a game where you catch animals to fight with.

>At 29 years old, playing them I still notice a marked difference in my success when I really believe in my Pokemon and form a bond with them

No, people made up shit. They used game sharks to get mew and then started to talk shit to become popular. Also, why do all those secrets take places in the game that normal players can see but cannot reach? Because it's bullshit. Non of those kids could ever show you the stuff they talked about and all of them had a shitty excuse like "It only works once" and "I cannot show it to you or it will disappear from my game!"

Goddamnit, please don't make Pokemon R/B the new Mario 64 "every copy is personalized" meme. It's just bits of code, and after we die NOBODY will give a shit about it except a few autist historians .

The internet existed then.

One think I do not really understand is how rumors ended up being in other countries. How the fuck did 6 year old children know about "Sunny Town" if the name was never mentioned somewhere and wasn't even in their own language?

There's interesting science behind this. Look up the work of individuals like Dean Radin and Rupert Sheldrake. To summarize, human consciousness can be shown to influence random event generators/RNGs to become less random when analyzed statistically. Alumni of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research lab developed products based on their experiments including a color changing light that changed at random with the idea being that you can influence the random control system to force anomalously long pauses on specific colors as well as a type of chatbot that would randomly send phrases, the concept being that the user's influence over the random process would result in receiving relevant phrases at relevant times as a sort of synchronicity.

TL;DR You actually can influence the probability of outcomes in video games mentally, although some design practices like using pseudorandom numbers lessen the impact.

I had a strange experience with Pokemon Red or Blue when I was a kid. I was doing the Rocket Casino or Silph Co sliding puzzles and the screen flashed white when I entered the Elevator to go to Giovanni and I appeared exiting Cinnabar Mansion. I couldn't leave the Island because I had no access to Surf or Fly at the time because I was a stupid child. I saved the game on the Island and couldn't leave and ended up having to delete my data.

I'm so tired of these brainlet attempts to get /fpbp reactions.

That's interesting stuff. For the longest time I genuinely believed focusing on a pokemon you're trying to catch as it's in the ball and sort of focusing on the times it wiggles will make it easier to catch. Other people did this too. I never fully dismissed it and still do it when replaying a pokemon game, so it's nice to know it may actually be a real thing.

The internet you cock-brained mongoloid fucking retard. It wasn't invented in 2010 when you first got on it.
Fuck you're a dumbass.

Bullshit.
Bits of code, you say?

Pokemon was a child's heart in the 90s. It forms a part of the bedrock of the cultural psyche at the outset of the 21st century. You can tell me the adventures I've been through with my Pokemon don't mean anything, "bits of code".
But you will not deceive me.
I was there.

Good morning sirs, you tell that bloody bish who boss

Missingno glitches exist for this reason. User input can indeed influence the randomness of (old) pokemon games. Otherwise it's just mental bias.

you are not creative, shut the fuck up.

The second the pokeball lands on the ground for good after just teying to catch a pokemon, if you hold the dpad down and hit the b button in a rhythmic order, the chances of you catching that mon somehow always increases and i still don't know why to this day. It's worked for me in every single game, so well that all i use is just regular pokeballs now for literally everything including legendaries. I think you're a retard op but i cant explain this shit

You flew to close to the sun with the second to last paragraph, leave it out next time

Your life doesn't mean anything is the issue here

Do you hit the b button as the ball wiggles?

I personally made a bootleg version of a synchronicity chatbot a few years ago. I set it up to have phrases relevant to WoW raids so I could just run it as an experiment into a nextgen "psychic add-on." Many times during the couples of months I tested it, I'd get interesting results like the message "Epic Loot" at the exact moment the ML moved gear into my bag or "Good Job" at the same time our RL said the same words on comms after a boss. There were a couple of instances where a "Danger" message put me on enough of an alert to vanish out of something that would have probably caught me sleeping or preceded a total wipe. The probability to trigger any of the possible messages was such that the "noise" of random messages was at the one per hour average (range making it common enough to have a night with 4 messages in an hour or no messages for 3 hours), but of course that means it was much, much lower for any specific message to happen at any specific moment.

But I think the entire thing might actually be pointless because we can basically just do the same thing with only our minds if we train for extraordinary intuition. After all, even in regular subjects, if you measure the nervous system response time when presented with emotional image stimuli, you actually find that the subjects begin to respond before a stimulus appears at a rate that is greater than the "anticipation" effect associated with non-stimulating images. At all times, we are somehow accessing data about our immediate future. It can be measured in simple biological terms with no need to rely on anecdotal evidence, but of course once we accept the basis for precognitive mental abilities, the vast literature of reports of experiences of this type leaps forward to give us an overview of how these things manifest in our everyday lives and even gives us tantalizing clues about the greater potentials that some rare individuals encounter.

Reposting in a schizo thread:
There ARE god-tier Pokemon in Red/Blue, and they ARE hidden in the game's spaghetti code.
Only difference is that they've actually been discovered and documented.

The D-pad shit is a meme, but using cheaper balls in the Gameboy games DOES have an advantage over using Ultra balls all the time.

Oh my fucking God

This is it. The worst post ever made.

I am very skeptical of that assessment. The whole 90s and 00s was a key interval in the programming.

The arguments about source code are a hylic cope. The games hold secrets that are hidden within the fabric of the code. The code was only a means of projecting images to the screen, but that process is a portal to a higher level.

I know you weren't alive back then but not only was the internet something only rich people had, there was basically no content on there and it was difficult to find. There's no way 10 year olds all around the world found out about pokegods or pikablu on the internet. Yet, it seems like the rumors appeared everywhere at once.

pokemon is for babies

Just because you can create doesn't mean you should show it to anybody. You should take this advice. It's kind of like how you can create feces with your ass but you're horrifying and repulsive if you pick it up and show it to people. That's kind of what the OP is doing.

You didnt even need a game shark to catch mew tho

That's an honestly bizarre aspect to the whole thing.

I lived in a fucking double wide at 5 when the games came our and we had internet. Also it was spread through word of mouth, rumors. So devasting that the younger generation so genuinely cannot fathom this concept that they have to make SCP tier rip offs to explain kids talking to each other at recess.

This one time I was playing it at age 12-13, I was walking past a playground and an older boy yelled "Pokemon's gay!" I wanted to punch him out. Wouldn't be smart to say it to me today.

How do you know they all appeared everywhere at once if you didn't have internet

>I know you weren't alive back then but not only was the internet something only rich people had
you stupid ass bitch, my 1 working class parent ass had internet in the 90s when pokemon came out and I learned all of the missingo/mew truck bullshit from the internet and I was 6
So fuck off you dumbass nigger.

>I've also noticed a greater degree of success when I don't fap, to the point where I won't even play it unless I have at least four weeks of sexual energy reserved.
fucking kek
this is an absolutely fantastic thread, OP
you truly had me on the first part
