Wild MissingNos.

Wild MissingNos. is an animation project inspired by the glitchy MissingNo. sprite from Pokémon. Combining generative art with pixel art animation, each Wild MissingNo. cycles through its unique static states with a different type of animation. The goal was to create 151 one-of-a-kind sprites, the last being an extra special release combining the best of the series into a single artwork. Wild MissingNos. were released throughout 2023 via the objkt.com NFT marketplace.

WMNo. xx151 appeared on May 31, 2024, the 1 year anniversary of the first mint into the collection. In February 2026, a new batch of 15 WildMissingNos. appeared, this time minted fully on chain. The generative process for this batch faithfully reproduces the programmatic operation of the MissingNo. glitch from the original Pokémon games.

Field Guide

Editions

Wild MissingNos. were issued on the Tezos blockchain in limited editions of 15, 10, 5, 3, or 2 of each unique sprite. The supply of Wild MissingNos. was occasionally reduced through the burning of unsold editions.

Types

Wild MissingNos. are grouped into batches by type. For example, the sprites in Batch 01 all cycle through their static states with scanline-type movements. However, Wild MissingNos. can have other traits (like a higher number of static states or a combination of types), and sprites with extra traits were issued in smaller editions. Later releases featured rare hybrid-type sprites.

Badges

Badges were awarded to collectors holding specific sets or quantities of Wild MissingNos. There are Collector Badges and Gym Badges, and holding one or more came with benefits, especially freebies from subsequent releases.

Collector Badges: Though grouped by type, every Wild MissingNo. sprite is unique. Collector Badges were awarded to those who collected a minimum number of different Wild MissingNos. regardless of type. The rarity of these badges is relative to the number of Wild MissingNos. required to earn them.

Gym Badges: Each type of Wild MissingNo. is represented by a gym, and every gym has an exclusive badge. Gym Badges were awarded to the first person to collect 6 different Wild MissingNos. of a specific type. There is only one badge per gym, and whoever holds it becames the Gym Leader, entitling them to rewards and exclusives related to their type.
