Line 26:
#'''?????''': ????? is an item name for the unused items with index numbers of hex:07 (aka the '[[ItemDex/RB:007|surfboard]]') and hex:2C ([[ItemDex/RB:044|an unusable item]]). The term is the same in the Japanese games.
#'''[[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.<br><br>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.
The developers may have either added in 'Missingno.' as a placeholder for if they wanted to add more Pokémon into the game, or replaced a 'scrapped Pokémon' for Generation I with "Missingno." (the latter is more likely for the Missingno. with unused cries).
