I was trying to figure out how they might be able to work missingo or another glitch in to a game as a legitimate pokemon . What do you think its type and pokedex entry would be like?

Yo!
But...why? It would just glitch up your game cartridge. If you mean like a real, special PKMN then, I'm not sure. I don't see the point I guess...

0.o, Missingo isent a real Pokemon. It was created by glitches in R/B/Y and thats why the Safari Zone warp was removed. However the coding is still in the game...

it would be like an easter egg, as a throwback to the first game.

Yeah, It could be like that. Something that was very hard to find, but wouldn't corrupt the game. And maybe the proffessor could give you a special bonus for putting it in your pokedex.

I was thinking, instead of it being a glitch, the game could pass it off as a mysterious entity or spirit. They could come up with some sub plot for that. I wouldn't mind seeing it in the anime either.

Or, how about people be quiet about it?

Seriously, it's a glitch. A damn glitch. It looks like a brick wall gone wrong. Honestly, what is the point of reintroducing a Pokemon that is so glitched up it learns two of the same attack (and a useless one at that), and can only be found by talking to some old man who, despite you having eight gym badges, wants to teach you how to catch Pokemon?

Just let it be. If you really want to marvel a load of glitched up pixels, go play Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace for PS1.

EDIT: Oh, and for the record, it's not Missingo, it's Missingno.

^Agreed. What's so good about a glitch? It brings nothing but trouble to your game.

Missingno. would never work conceptually, as a pokemon in the game, lest the anime or manga.

MissingNo. is a real pokemon. The "glitch" is that we can visit him. MISSINGNO MUST EXIST OR THE GAME WOULD CRASH WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER A POKEMON/TRAINER. MissingNo. is made to be shown when pokemon data cannot be loaded correctly. (When we screw around with our games). Well just think... without missingno. what would be shown when we do our "missingno trick?" The game would crash. And when we have fun with our link cables while in battle, we see missingnos. Why? Because the game can't load any pokemon data from the other player. Since the game can't load a pokemon, it'll load missingno. GameFreak workers now add funny little creatures to replace the glitchy missingno.

EDIT When you guys become graphic workers... You'll learn.

Yes. But it's not a REAL pokemon. It's filler pokemon data in the game to keep it stable. It's not conceptually a pokemon.

Well either way this answers the thread's question.

I think some of you are missing the point entirely.

I think themaninblack was NOT asking "WHAT IS MISSINGNO?".... they were asking how you think they would/could make MissingNo. if they decided to make it into an "official" Pokemon.

Is the idea impossible? Not really, though I wouldn't say it's something that Gamefreak is very likely to do. (Hey, they made Ermac a real character in Mortal Kombat.. but...these are totally different companies we're talking about...)

Personally, as much as I like MissingNo. I have mixed feelings on if I'd want it made into a "real" pokemon or not... If it was 'real' then I think it would take away a lot of the mystery, but at the same time it would be really cool to be able to use MissingNo. again.
I also have no idea how they'd make it look or if they'd even mention how it originally came to be... Though I can assume that it would be a bird of some kind and that they'd replace the 'Bird' type with Flying

Missingno. isn't a glitch. Missingno., M-block and all those other block Pokémon were created purely for filling up the hex coding. There needed to be 256 sprites, while there were only 151 Pokémon, about 25 trainers and 3 other random sprites (ghost, Kabutops skeleton, Aerodactyl skeleton). You do the math. Missingno. was man-made, not glitch-made, because:
1. it has stats, which are the same in every copy of the game
2. it has a sprite, which are the same in every copy of the game
3. it has attacks, which are the same in every copy of the game
4. it is able to learn attacks, through TM's, HM's and levelling up, which are the same in every copy of the game
5. it has evolutions, which are the same in every copy of the game
6. it has a name. Its name aren't some random patches of sprites, it is Missingno., which is an abrivication for Missing Number. That means that the people who created him knew at least knew about Missingno. and made a name for him.
Those things couldn't have existed if it was simply a glitch. It was a real Pokémon, just a very strange one. Like Mr Delcatty said, Missingno. isn't a glitch, the way to find him is.
And I think Missingno. glitches up your game so the people who created the games would make people stop using cheating devices to stop people from hacking into the game. Kinda simular to Bad Egg now.

Although it would be fun to have an Easter Egg that at least hinted towards Missingno., I don't think it will happen. At least not as obvious as you people suggest.
And isn't there already an unbelievably small chance of finding Missingno. in the wild on some routes in R/S? Or was that never proven, like the Celebi thing? If they did that on purpose, I think that could qualify as an Easter Egg.

Aah, but if it was made 'purely for filling up the hex coding'...

...what is it doing out in the wild?

Exactly. Whilst it may not be a direct glitch, that fact that is appears is a glitch. Making it a glitch.
