That's why the name of the glitch Pokémon can be different, and why the sprite is different depending on the character's name. It's also why MissingNo. has a blank cry (a blank cry is a male Nidorino cry with a pitch of 0 and no echo) and strange stats.

Yes, I am a nerd.

Now the Venomoth/Butterfree sprite switch theory I do find to be plausible, though...

I applaud you, sir.

the "MissingNo." placeholder does imply the removal of several pokemon. TIN FOIL HATS ON

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_index_number_(Generation_I)

The index numbers that correspond to actual pokemon go up to 190, but 39 were left blank or removed for an unknown reason. only those 39 index numbers (which are still formatted as valid pokemon, just with blanked out info) give you "missingno." and all of these have the same stats, moves, etc. as if they were all the same pokemon. anything over 191 results in scrambled text due to the game trying to change other types of data into a pokemon.

the missingnos are the other pokemon that were cut from the original line-up of 190 due to the space limit of the gb cart.

AND WE WILL NEVER KNOW HOW AWESOME THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
