Did you read my initial post, or the actual site?

> > It's not really "proof". It's just a screen with little explanation. I talked to him myself and he even said he's not really a programmer and knows next to nothing about it, and is really just an artist. Self-admitted lack of credentials on the subject. :-\

> I can help clarify what is happening if you'd like; each legitimate Pokémon when first encountered will add a value of 128 to their own special values known as an encounter flag, which for normal Pokémon was defined to index the relevant Pokémon as 'seen' in the Pokédex interface. For many glitch Pokémon however (except hybrids with encounter flags of real Pokémon such as h Poké), such data is undefined and thus, the game will manage the encounter flag by writing (invalid) data to the next set of bytes after the Pokédex interface - the hall of fame data.
> When the game registers Pokémon in the Hall of Fame, the game will save, but this save data is seperate on its own. The game does not overwrite and save variables other than those within the Hall of Fame interface itself.
> I'll try to bring up any older posts on such matters if I can find any.

That's extremely helpful, and actually the exact theory my partner had (though she used logic to deduce it). Feel free to pass on any posts or faqs we can cite on this.

Sorry, I just read it.
I just get upset whenever the PokeGods are mentioned, as it reminds me of my N00Bish days…

I've found what was the real URL of the Pokemart site (archive.org FTW)
It was http://www.angelfire.com/ny2/pokemart/ .
..LOL, the site is STILL online today ! Angelfire never deleting accounts FTW.

For the Doomsday sprite, you mean? I've been to that site myself, but there's unfortunately no way to confirm whether it's the "Poke Mart" site that created the sprite, especially since there's more than one Poke Mart.

Need to mention something in one of the pikablu codes:

"He will look like a Missingno." because 01E364D1 replaces the first Pokémon in your party with this Glitch Pokémon.
Funnily enough, hex E3 is dec 227. It isn't documented what family it's in, but I'm guessing it's not 154.

Well, as you're aware, back then any glitch was "a MissingNo.". Just the way people thought about it, and still do: You see a glitch, it's "a MissingNo.". The PokeGods (ones obtained via GameShark, anyhow) were usually said to just be glitches, with many people trying to foist codes that "had a picture". No one liked seeing just a scrambled block.
The species number of 154 for Pikablu actually stems from the very early days of Pokemon, even before the PokeGod phenomenon began… Pikablu was labeled as the 154th Pokemon as early as October of 1998, if not earlier in September (the release of Pokemon in the US) on the Tyranticus list. "154", as well as the other species numbers from 151-161 mean a lot to us, since they're one of the few consistencies throughout the phenomenon. The Pokemon/PokeGods those numbers were attributed to rarely ever changed.
