Nintendo has an official description of Missingno. listed in their Customer Service troubleshooting section:


<blockquote>"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 Flight Safari Zone Pokémon trick [or Viridian Old Man trick]. To fix the scrambled graphics, try releasing the MissingNO Pokémon."</blockquote>

However, as most people know, Nintendo was incorrect on the graphical issues. Releasing Missingno. did not fix the graphics. The actual fix on the graphics was to view the Pokédex data or stat page of a [[Hybrid glitch Pokémon|hybrid]] or official Pokémon.
