Missignos can be encountered using the mew glitch, so you can do that in yellow too, fyi

seems like a much bigger pain in the rear end though. you can encounter as many missingnos as you want at a time in red/blue but if you do that in yellow you'd have to do the trainer fly glitch over and over again.

In X if you beat the gym in Luminose I think you have to go north of out the city to progress. Towards a swamp, anyway.

And in Gen 1 critical hits are based off speed with higher meaning more, so cutting something's speed means it won't crit as much. It's not really important though, you can beat the game easily without worrying about it.

I'm pretty sure, not 100%, but crit rate is based on a Pokemon's base speed stat, not its current speed in battle. Paralyzing or lowering speed does not lower crit rate, and boosting speed does not boost it either. Also Focus Energy is glitched and will actually lower your crit rate.

i enjoy X but i put it down for a while and once I started again I forgot where to go. I am in that big city, and I think the last thing I did was go into some power plant in a desert that rocket or omega or whatever took over.

Also tell me more about the importance of speed in r/b/y. I don't use debuffs a ton, mostly to reduce defence, but why is cutting speed so helpful?

As far as cutting stats go, its far more useful to buff yourself up, and even then that's mostly if you want to stomp the lovely AI, or if you're playing against a human being. If you heard cutting speed is helpful, that's probably talking about using paralysis in competitive, because most of the threatening offensive Pokemon in gen 1 like Alakazam and Starmie are a lot less scary if they're paralyzed.

is there any strategy for the casino other than Jam on A

if by Jam on A you mean press A for five minutes at the clerk and buy 50 coins at a time until you get max coins, then no, there's not. use the item dupe glitch to get a bunch of nuggets or TMs and sell those
