MissingNo. is a shared name, it corresponds to the particular varients of Glitch Pokémon which occupy in total, 39 slots in between legitimate Pokemon on Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue and Pokémon Yellow. The term is most commonly used to refer to the varient of Missingno. with an index number of 31 (or 1F in hexadecimal) which knows Water Gun twice and Sky Attack as its starting move because it is well known and can always be encountered through the use of the Old Man Trick.
As a misguiding generalisation to all other Glitch Pokémon
Many players decide to name other Glitch Pokémon which the game does not actually refer to as 'Missingno.' by default as 'Missingno.', for a general term for all Glitch Pokémon, however this can be misguiding especially when concerning some Glitch Pokémon such as 'LM4' as no evidence suggests that those were 'Missing Numbers' once planned to exist in the final game by Nintendo.
The origin of MissingNo.'s name is most likely to be a placeholder or an error handler in the sense that it is a name used for any Pokemon that does not exist in the coding. The fact that Glitch Pokémon beyond a hexadecimal value of 190 are not labelled 'Missingno.' and have irrational names can suggest that the collective term 'Missingno.' itself is a beta element of the game, used for any Pokémon which may have been removed.
Missingno. in Pokémon Yellow
Although Nintendo removed the Old Man Trick in Pokémon Yellow, different varients of Missingno. still exist within the coding of the game. Missingno. still exists in the same 39 unused slots like in Pokémon Red and Blue, however it could be suggested that most of its data was wiped out as encountering the 'Yellow Missingno' will often cause the game to crash.
Without the use of an external device, the player can use the Ditto Trick to encounter Missingno on Pokémon Yellow, this way the player can encounter the different varients of Missingno. by using a Special Stat which corresponds to the relevent index number.
Glitches which the Generation I Pokémon games label 'Missingno.'
Below is a table of all of the Glitch Pokémon in Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue and Pokémon Yellow which the game refers to as 'Missingno.'
