Description MissingNo is another of my favorite villains. When I was a kid I used to spend a lot of time trying to master the system in order to use him, even going so far as to go get another copy of Blue just to house him (which was promptly corrupted of course). I know, by technicality, MissingNo is not canon nor is he even supposed to be in the series, let alone play any sort of role. But, to me, that makes MissingNo that much more diabolical. What more of a monster than one that directly attacks the player by corrupting their hard-earned data?

He's kind of a favorite of mine just because he's fun to write for as well. It's kind of a running joke that the reason MissingNo appears as he does is because he's a sort of "Legendary God of Madness". The glitches and tweaks and game-breakings are merely a representation of your character going completely off-the-walls insane from just so much as encountering such a eldrich horror, let alone trying to tame one.

MissingNo's design here is mostly inspired by the fact that, in Stadium, MissingNo appeared as a Substitute Doll by default. But, more than anything, I wanted to make him look psychotic and depraved. He's also a "Bird/????" Type, so he needs wings of some kind flight capability and I also wanted to incorporate his most famous sprite as well.

I don't really feel like Missingno is really evil or a villain.Β  It's just an eldritch being which operates according to eldritch laws of nature.

So of course it causes us madness and bends reality around us.
Personally I feel like Missingno in its M block shape is a pretty good indication of what an other-dimensional being would look like to us in real life; Missingno's shape would probably seem to change as well as it moved spacially through other dimensions beyond the three we know, not that seeing Missingno in its multi-dimensional entirety would be any less weird.

In my opinion, I feel like this pokemon inspired giygas, sorta, I think this pic of missingno makes me think of giygas's TRUE FORM, because he's in a solid body, he can't contain his corruptive power.

Wow... so it's like that one sybolic piece is only a piece of the true monster, and each and everyone of them you find leads up to the grand daddy of them... I know it's not like a real thing or anything... it's just what I thought about O.o

Sweet. Do you think you could make sprite versions of it?

Pretty unique interpretation, I must say. Although it looks more "Digimon" than "Pokemon". Which isn't a bad thing, I loved Digimon as a kid.

OH HOLY GO-err.... ARCEUS.

Although, I always imagined Missingno. as some sort of Ultimate Evil Who Cannot Be Seen. After all, I always thought what you can't see is scarier than what you can.

Ah, missingno the only thing the first gen games have over theyr'e predecessor's. probably the best visualization i'v seen of it so far, others make it look too much like a regular pokemon or stick strictly to the original "sprite".

Heh, I'm planning on writing a fic about this guy. Only, he's not really a villain so much as he is a terrible phenomenon. It's not an entity, but a... thing that turns you insane and lets you see places like Glitch City (which isn't even a real place, just a corrupted version of the map you're on. Chew on that for a while.)

Hehehehe! This is really well done buddy. Keep it up. Maybe you should do some horror pokemon? I'd love to see your take on Gengar or Muk or even Weezing.

Heheheh, thanks! That actually sounds like a pretty neat idea. I'll have to put some thought into that one.
