Browsing through Bulbapedia,, I just realized, In all 4 generations, the one glitch that just seemed to keep appearing is MissingNo. And I was wondering...do you think we'll see MissingNo again in HG and SS???

All of the official Pokémon hand-held RPG Games require certain placeholders to make the Pokédex function correctly, therefore there is a very high chance we will see MissingNo. and possibly others again. Also, considering HG/SS runs off of Platinum's engine, it might be possible that we will see the Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur once more.

It means that a sprite which is an actual pokemon must be used to replace all the pokemon you still haven't viewed in the pokedex. In the R/S/E/Fr/LG cases it was the '?' in a circle. It's a pokemon, not just a sprite. And as long as the placeholder exists, so will missingno, hence the name.

MissingNO. is not in HG/SS. MissingNO only existed in Red, Green, and Blue. In Yellow, a different placeholder existed, as with all subsequent games.

God, the games have been out since September. WHY are people still speculating what is and isn't going to be in them?!?

For your reference, MissingNo, as the name suggests, isn't a glitched wall, it's EVERY placeholder in EVERY game.

Thanks dude, now mind saying that whole speech again WITHOUT being a total prick?

For one thing, MissingNO was not only in RBY, but also GSC and RSE and its even been spotted in DPPt: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/-----

And I'm only speculating about Missingno in the American version, I'm well aware about them being out already in Japan already.

I think that it'd be humorous if they gave the placeholder the name MissingNO and also gave it it's own sprite, perhaps a revamped version of the R/G/B MissingNo. Just for the laughs.

Its already funny enough to see MissingNO take the form of the fossil forms of Aerodactyl, Kabutops, and the Ghost form that see when you first enter the Pokemon Tower back in Gen I.

Its like its sentient, LOL

Well I'm not at all suprised it looks the same... it runs on the same game mechanics of D/P/Pt as well and it's not meant to be anything beyond a placeholder, so there's no reason for it to have its own sprite (or the such).

I still think it'd be hilarious if Nintendo put in Missingno as an actual Pokemon, with it Pokedex entry listing it as a glitch, possibly made during the creation of Porygon or Porygon 2. I would totally train one just for nostalgia.

Porygon + Dubious Disk?

Anyways, Technically, Missingno only exists in the generation 1 games (Yea, Yellow Missingo. is different from the rest, but it has the same name, if not a different stat distribution, a version exclusive forme, if you will), though I suppose you could call any placeholder poke that takes the "000" placeholder (The one before Bulbasaur) Missingno. Funny enough, they actually did gave that pokémon an entry in generation III.

Maybe their hinting at making Missingno a PKMN.
Although its more likely to keep the game from crashing/corrupting.

Seeing as MissingoNo. has been kept as a placeholder for the PokéDex, then I wouldn't expect it to ever really become listed as a Pokémon of its own with it's own created sprite.

If anything it would just be kept as a common placeholder glitch to keep the PokéDex functional while appearing as a possibly different Pokémon in future games that run using a different software from DPPt and HG/SS.
