To kick this interesting thread off, this is what Nintendo officially had to say about Missingno., the glitch Pokemon of Gen. 1:
Official Nintendo statement
Nintendo has an official description of Missingno. listed in their Customer Service troubleshooting section:
"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." [1]
Nintendo was incorrect on the method for fixing graphical issues; releasing Missingno. does not fix the graphics. The correct way to fix these issues is to view the Pokédex data or stat page of a hybrid glitch Pokémon or official Pokémon.
