Could Missingno be made canon by introducing it as an UB?
That'd be pretty cool actually. Just say it's a Pokémon that got corrupted while entering the dimension. Pure flying type but what ability?
>>29927344
It duplicates its stat bonuses?

>"Glitch"-Ability
>Get's a random Ability everytime a fight starts
you can fuck around more by maing it's type random as well
UB-06 "Glitch"

I like this idea. Also a chance of holding a rare candy after battle.
I can see them doing this for the 25th anniversary games. Gotta pander to the genwunners somehow.

Smogon be like: "Smash dat mothafuckin' ban button" if this were to ever happen. No thanks.
It could, I guess. Canonizing glitches like that isn't unprecedented: the first thing that comes to mind is Ermac from Mortal Kombat. In turns of "Genwunner pandering", Missingno. is probably the biggest thing - aside from maybe a "Mewthree" - that they haven't milked yet.
I doubt it's something they'd ever do, though. They've never even alluded to it before, other than Nintendo first addressing the glitch when it was discovered, and there's no real precedent for anything like that in Pokemon. There was that Mirage Master movie that seemed to have been inspired by hacked Pokemon, but at least as far as the games are concerned, nothing quite so self-referential. I'm not sure how popular the Missingno. glitch was in Japan, but I've heard before that it wasn't as well-known over there/more popular in the West, so I'm not sure how on-the-radar it is for them. But you look at things like Ultra Beasts and Silvally, and it's pretty clear that they're trying to do challenge the preconception of what a Pokemon can be. But they've always been pretty wary of glitches and exploits, so I'm not sure how likely it is that we'd ever see Missingno - or at least some self-referential "glitch Pokemon" - being canonized. In the very least, I think it's something that, if they did, would garner a lot of attention.

Could it? Yes.
Should it? Absolutely.
Will they? No. Not when they have better ideas like Garfield and whackamoles with long blonde hair.
>>29927673
It's not necessarily bad, but you could have easily appeased everyone by making Alolan forms for multiple gens of Pokemon

I agree with this.
They really don't like to bring attention to Missingno., so I don't think they'd ever do anything like this.
It would be awesome if they did, however.
>>29927724
it'd be fun nevertheless

What do you think Mega Mewtwo is?
>>29927344
ability to have two of the same move
you can only catch it with two water guns
>>29927313
Why do people still care about this shitty meme glitch after 20 years? Gamefreak doesn't care about it and neither should you.
What, should they bring back the old buggy crit mechanics too?
>>29927313
No because its a fucking glitch and not a pokémon
>>29927344
isn't it like "bird" type or something?

It only existed in Anerican versions looking like that, so probably not

The "it's not a Pokemon but a battle-ready" creature floodgates have already been opened, Anon.
Didnt people think something like this would happen when you transferred Missingno from the VC release?
>>29927837
I remember expecting Mega Mewtwo Y to be Mewthree. It looked more like Mew so it was obviously a better clone, right?
>>29927313
this in sun and moon, in the national pokedex. Only accessible through missingno transfer from R/B/Y
