PLAYING AS PROFESSOR K THOUGH What about MISSINGNO. the Pokémon games have yet to notice our favorute abomination but this has in spades Not the games themselves, but Nintendo actually has a comment in their FAQ on their website about getting rid of MissingNo. and an entire short two paragraph comment about it seen below, which while incorrect, is at least better than not referencing it at all:

"MissingNO is a programming quirk, and not a real part of the game. When you get this, your game can perform strangely, and the graphics will often become scrambled. The MissingNO Pokémon is most often found after you perform the Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick.

To fix the scrambled graphics, try releasing the MissingNo Pokémon. If the problem persists, the only solution is to re-start your game. This means erasing your current game and starting a brand new one."

Plus in Platinum, HeartGold & SoulSilver actually is red kanji for it's name in Japanese [Ketsuban], these titles only show up whenever the game can't figure out what map title should be placed, using it as a blank placeholder, meaning you're only really going to see them if the game gets corrupted somehow, but it's close enough to an offical appearance.

Plus it's actually the only glitch Pokemon to have art made for it by an official Pokemon series artist, which DEFINITELY shows it's popularity.

TOKIYA, who illustrated some cards for the Pokémon Trading Card Game from 2007-2009, made some unofficial art of all four of MissingNo.'s forms (minus it's iconic L-shaped appearance, which since it was exclusive to Red & Blue and thus North America, he did not draw because he himself is Japanese and thus drew it's Red & Green sprite) on his Twitter in 2016.

And his comment in said Tweet kind of said the same thing, it's hard to follow due to apparently not translating well to English, but he basically was disappointed no official plushies will be made of it, which I think is actually rather adorable.

At least the generic ghosts of Lavender Town (which remember, are one of the sprites MissingNo. uses)got a cute redesign for Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, even if that had nothing to do with MissingNo. and more to do with not spooping 7-year-olds playing the game like back in the 90s.
