Bird type

[Missingno.Fan]

I noticed something weird. I was playing LG (so I am assuming that this happens in RBY too) that the guy in Lt. Surge's gym says something like "Keep WATER and BIRD types out of here". I know Bird is beta for flying but I just thought that was weird.

Really?
Weird. I'll have to check that out

Well the original's were glitchy and I think badly translated.

You're name is Missingno.Fan. You should know that Missingno's type is Water/Bird.

i guess most of the pokemon which you have before that point are flying element and bird type or appearance, cept gyarados i guess...and...and...

I was aware of this. I thought it is weird that they used Bird as a type in a non-glitch setting. And by the way Missingno. is normal/bird.

Missing.No changes. I mean it's Missing.No! To give it a type would be dumb.

 

[Guy]

But it obviously has one.
Otherwise nice find. Gonna check it sometime.

Nice, this topic was about to die.

Kinda weird. Almost as weird as Missing No.

If bird was lowercase it would make A lot of since.

Wait. Wasn't MISSINGNO.'s type Bird/Bird? Or Normal/Bird? It had Water Gun but it wasn't Water Type that I remember.

Bird was the beta term they were using for Flying, or something. Obviously they changed it since many Flying types weren't birds at all, but I still sometimes wish they just made it "Wind" or "Air" type and didn't give it to anything that has wings.

If i remember correctly, one of my missingno was Flying/bird... really.

 

[VampirateMace]

the whole bird/flying thing is fuzzy, I remmber in the anime Misty refered to bird type pokemon... seems like poor translations

 

[Korshar]

I have a Missingno. with Bird/\flying type and it is not ruining my game!

 

[Typo]

By the site rules, that wasn't a bump, but it was prettly close to dying. 9 days. Or 8.

I think Bird type was only used in the oldest of the games. Like the early copies of R/B/Y. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that that is what I saw.

No. My first-run copies of Red and Blue purchased in September 1998 use "Flying-type." None of the American releases have ever used "Bird-type." It's just one of those wiggy data things that occurs when you allow the cancerous glitch that is Missingno. into your circle.

I know that I saw Bird type in my North Am. Pokemon Yellow game, and I have not found Nissing no. Still, I cannot prove it unless I look....
