[[bp:Pokémon Red and Green|Pokémon Red and Green]] featured debugging features at one time in their development. This is confirmed in an "Iwata Asks" interview by Satoru Iwata with Tsunekazu Ishihara and Shigeki Morimoto regarding the release of [[bp:Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]], where Shigeki Morimoto mentioned that "debugging features which weren't going to be included in the final version of the game were removed, creating a miniscule 300 bytes of free space." in which the developers managed to fit Mew later in the empty space.[http://nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1]

Placeholder terms for the purpose of this article are names used for unused entries in a list that were 'dummied out', i.e. made valid.
#'''?????''': ????? is an item name for the unused items with index numbers of hex:07 (aka the '[[ItemDex/
#'''[[Missingno.]]''': Contrary to popular belief, Missingno. is not an error handler for invalid Pokémon in general. Only 39 invalid Pokémon are called Missingno. and all of the invalid Pokémon index numbers past hex:BE (dec:190), counting 00 as 256, have glitched names. Though most data about Missingno. is invalid, not all of it is. For example, 30 Missingno. have blanked out cries and 9 have unused cries. At least some of these Pokémon may have been worked with before. According to [http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/there-were-190-pok%C3%A9mon.78267/ a post from Zog on Smogon], Shigeki Morimoto confirmed that there were originally 190 Pokémon (151+39), and that the rest were saved for later.
