'''Missing Number''' (Japanese: '''けつばん''' ''Ketsuban'', lit. "Missing Number"), displayedknown by Nintendo of America as '''MissingNo.''', and appearing in-game as '''MissingNoMISSINGNO.''', refers to a group of glitch Pokémon that act as fillers for vacant slots. For each version, there are 39 separate MissingNo. slots. Three particular examples also serve a specific purpose throughout the game; as the Kabutops Fossil, the Aerodactyl Fossil, and Pokémon Tower Ghost.
 
Most of the data pertaining to MissingNo. is clearly glitched and unintentional (and there is no error prevention, unlike for example the placeholder sprite loaded in place for the Generation III glitch Pokémon [[??????????]]) and in itself MissingNo. is not a legitimate Pokémon, but [[Partially unused and glitched|curiously some data]] like nine of the MissingNo. cries are leftover development remnants. During the development of Pokémon Red, Green and Blue, the index numbers of many of the MissingNo. were instead occupied by [https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue/MissingNo.#MissingNo._List unreleased Pokémon], but in the final games the leftover cries and the name MissingNo. (Missing Number) are the only hints that cut Pokémon ever existed.
