Those question marks? Haven't seen them personally, but my brother got a Bad Egg in a trade, if that counts. Which is funny, because to him, it was a Lickitung, but I saw it on my screen as a Bad Egg when we were having a battle.

Otherwise, if you actually mean Missingno. from the first games, wrong forum.
 
While Missingo does somewhat appear in R/S/E, he doesn't help you in anyway. In fact it gives you bad eggs which of course doesn't help the player.

So no I have never encountered the Missingo in Gen 3 because it no longer a glitch but a straight up hack or Action Replay.
 
"Missingno" in Gen 3 is actually a series of "place holder" Pokémon.. in short "Pokémon" like "Decamarks" - ?????????? and ? only show when there is a bad cheat. Unlike the Gen1 MissingNo they are known to be more unstable and will Freeze/crash the games more often than the Gen 1 MissingNo.

The "popularity" of Missingno was down to a "few lines of code" without the any Data for Possible wild pokémon in a certain area. Well, When Gameboy games were often made in Assemby where it written in "machine" code. They aren't exactly easy to read even if you know how programming is. You really don't know what 4862 means or does. As almost every GB is the same as any other, it was logical choice for the games to be in. Currently most Games are written in Languages like C which is actually understandable from casual programmers perspective. Also games today have alot better tools that really make the issues with Missing number a thing of the past. Plus today you proberbly can search stuff better than before.

Shutting. Discussing Hacked pokémon.
