Closing Keynote
summary
Deep code archaeology explains why missingno appears and why it reliably grants 128 rare candies; disassembly of the Z80 ROM shows multiple tiny behaviors combining into the glitch: sub-tile encounter checks, encounter table reuse for trainer names, pokedex underflow reading past bounds, bitmap writes flipping the high bit of the sixth inventory slot, and sprite decompression overruns corrupting the Hall of Fame. Analysis uses the pokered disassembly, notes 39 distinct missingno variants, and ties each effect to concrete memory addresses and space constraints like a 207 byte stack.
