Deadly Missingno of Pokémon Gold

We had Pokémon Gold on my Gameboy.
(I say we, because I stole it from my step brother, because his old school Gameboy failed to turn on )

Ofcourse, we all remember Missingno.
*Shudders*
Glitches freak me out.

Now, there was much a fuss, I do recall, about catching it. Some said it completed your Dex, some said it did nothing, and yet others were convinced it could corrupt your game.

I'm for the latter.

I don't know if anything like this happened to anyone else, but, we caught Missingno with a Great Ball, I do believe. After the ball shook, did the whole 'nickname' thing, it went back to the screen of you in the water at Cinnabar (Where you encounter it), but everything was fuzzy and glitchy. We restarted the game, and from then on, it would struggle to get past the Game Freak screen. Only a few times we got to see a quick glimpse of Ho-oh before it froze...
Yep.
It fucked our game.
Not happy.
Well, I was already freaked out by glitches.
But, that just wasn't cool.

And.
That's my story.

Gold never worked again.
So we filled it with water and threw it at stuff.

(It didn't seem to help)

I still love the way you treat things that don't work any more..

It was fun. And then I recall doing somthing involving junk mail, scissors, sticky tape, and everyone's bedroom doors...
