When you capture it again, the game crashes. I think theres another one called "□8□□" or something which turns into an item in your pack called "□□ 87□", which there are x0 of. When you use it it quickly changes all of the shade palettes around and looks like a strobe light effect. Then the game crashes.[/nerdy pokemon discussion]

Pokemon sounds buggy.

The old games for the Gameboy-Gameboy Color were pretty buggy, yeah. There was even a non-gameshark-influenced glitch that let you encounter pretty much any Pokemon(even glitch Pokemon!), called the "Mew Glitch", because of its most famous use.

Fortunately, the games for the Gameboy Advance, DS, and other later consoles are hardly buggy at all.

I caught 'M once and didn't have any problems. Even evolved into a Kangaskahn. I didn't save the game after I caught it though.... just in case.

And hasn't anybody else noticed it looks like 'M and Missingno(when using their shared "sprite") have faces? It seems to have an eye, a large nose, and a mouth. Even ears/horns at the top!

Terribly buggy. As it was Game Freak's first game, there was very little bug checking, and as game boy emulators more or less didn't exist back then, there was no way to test it with ease.

And no way of patching it later on even when all the bugs were discovered!

Dark Ages, I tells ya!

or of lots of crap flash games which people play for 2 minutes and move on. And games which take longer, but are more about eye candy that playability and/or require overly restrictive copy protection systems just to play them.

Yeah, what he said!

Yes, I have to agree, Call of Duty 2 being one of the latter.
