It was not a bug =/ it was a bunch of unused binary combinations.
For example, 00000001 is bulbasaur, 00000010 is invysaur, 00000011 is venusaur, 10000000 exists as a pokémon, however, anything after 10010111, which is 151 (Mew) is called "Missing Number", and is a possible combination for the rest of binary numbers, which has not been used.

A bug is a badly made script, not a script that has not been made at all. The Missingno.'s are numbers that have not been used, except for the image of some.

What is a bug is not the existence of Missingno. itself, it's the Old Man battle system, which deletes some information you require, and when you go to specific places, also bugged, you find pokémons related to your name.

As you find pokémons related to your name, you may also find pokémons with the unused binary combinations, this is when missingno. appears.

In Pokémon Yellow, it was not Missingno. that was fixed, it was the Old Man battle system, so you can also find Missingno.'s with the Mew Glitch :D.

It might not have been supposed to be encountered, but it was supposed to exist.

what? thats the very definition of an unintended bug, dude. if it were intended that you get invalid pokemon the remakes and rereleases like yellow, firered and leafgreen would have them. ninty doesn't consider it some essential piece of pokemon history that must be preserved and frankly, as a guy who played the game you're talking about as a kid, a time to get weirdly attached to all sorts of things, neither do i.

I give up, an unintended bug would be if the intention was having 151 possibilities for pokémons, however, the intention was having 256, not 151. The others were not used. If you find the others,the others are not the bug. The bug is the way you used for finding them, which was not intended (speaking with Old Man and going to Cinnabar).

you know 256 is just the maximum number of combinations in a byte, yeah? like, a boolean value is stored as 00000000 or 00000001. a pointer being able to change that byte to a 2, 3, 255 etc doesn't make those values valid.

there were 151 pokemon in gen 1, so they stored the id number in an unsigned byte, big whoop.

Pika once got Pika's peepee (let's just leave it at that) stuck in a mousetrap, It bled for the first 5 or so minutes, then this white stuff came out and that lasted 2 minutes, then finally rainbows started coming out. Pika was freaking out at that point, so Pika got it off, and it was swollen for the next few months or so. It hurt.
