Will there ever be Pokemon hybrids?

Answer 1

Actually, there already exist a number of Pokemon hybrids throughout all of the Pokemon games, except maybe black and white. In the earlier games (namely red, blue, yellow, gold, silver, and crystal), a hexadecimal system was used to generate a series of codes depending on the area the trainer was located, which corresponded to a Pokemon number, usually assigned to a certain area. Now, in the above games, there were always blank entries for Pokemon, which were not used, therefore causing the game to freeze. However, Game Freak Inc. and Nintendo had filled these spots in the data buffer with entries of the PokeDex as #000, which corresponded to a wild Pokemon battle where there was no valid Pokemon. A couple of examples were MissingNo., h Poke, Z4, M., etc. All of these invalid Pokemon, which had scrambled sprites, were triggered when the trainer heads to the old man in the game, who offers to demonstrate how to catch a Pokemon. This causes the game to temporarily change the player's name to "OLD MAN", and to store the player's name in the game's data buffer. Because the hexadecimal system calculates the characters in the player's name as pokedex numbers, certain unused spots in the game's programming may be triggered. But, as you have seen above, the game has ALREADY assigned wild Pokemon to certain areas in the game. However, there are two locations in the game which don't have any such rules; Cinnabar Island and Seafoam Paradise/Islands. After the battle, if the player flies using a Pokemon to any of these two islands, and then surfs on the part tile/part water tiles in the game along the beach coast, the values in the players name (which are not valid pokedex correspondants) trigger the game to freeze, as there is no Pokemon for that code. That was why MissingNo., the first glitch Pokemon was created to prevent any such damage to the game. However, it not only caused the game to freeze when caught, but destroy other data, and multiply the sixth item in the players bag by 128. However, this was no hybrid Pokemon. It was fake. Hybrids like h POKE, Z4, and M., were accidentals in programming- literally versions of a pixel version of a regular Pokemon. Take h POKE. In these games, it had the pokedex data of a GENGAR, however, because it didn't have any valid info or Sprite, it froze the game. Z4 was a hybrid of Beedrill, DY33748 a hybrid of Doduo, 67 a hybrid of Dodrio, and so on.

Now you'll ask about hybrids in the fairly new games. I don't know about Black or White, but in Pearl, Diamond, and Platinum, by using Action Replay (which you should have heard of) and the wild Pokemon Modifier cheat code, through which while using the calculator in poketch, you can make any Pokemon WITHIN THE POKEDEX appear, from #1 to #493. Now, when you enter any other number, such as #494, #495, or #000, which are not valid in platinum, it triggers a non-existing Pokemon. If the number exceeds 500, the game freezes. Now, when you type 0 in the modifier, a MissingNo., or a glitch Pokemon with no stats (HP=0, Lv. 0). If you attempt to catch it, it will show it in the pokedex as a scrambled white marble like sprite. If you catch it, you won't find it in your PC box. If you have an empty space in your party, it appears as a ? in your party slot. You can't even get rid of it, unless you do SOMETHING or SOmething to release it. If you enter 494, an Egg will appear. You can only catch it with a master ball, but when it says "Egg's data was added to the PokeDex", the screen goes black and the game freezes- because it doesn't even have a pokedex page. It has a cry like a Nidoran M, squirtle, Dragonite, and larvitar mixed. if you type 495, the Bad Egg appears. Same with the Bad Egg. And do you know what these eggs are hybrids of? MissingNo. They are either Rotom, or MissingNo. eggs, and because MissingNo.'s pokedex page is scrambled, it won't have a page either.
