Delete Missingno. In Pokemon Red/Blue?

[Rydian]

"Missingno." itself is or is not intentional, depending on what you mean.

The name? Yes, it's a placeholder.

All the other data? No. That's random shit pulled from places that aren't meant to hold pokemon data.

Precisely.

Yep it certainly is that garbage. Nowhere did I deny that. Ketsuban is the Japanese name for it which indeed means "missing number". (Jisho.org)

I still have not found a document, however, from Gamefreak saying it was intentional- all I've seen is speculation and theory. I'll search later, and if you've got something you can post it

By confirmed, I didn't mean internally. Talented hackers have looked at the game's code, and if I'm remembering right (hint: I'm usually not) then the following pseudocode simulates the game's naming logic:

if (names[Pokemon.index] != NULL)
{
    Pokemon.name = names[Pokemon.index];
}
else
{
    Pokemon.name = "MISSINGNO";
}
