From x-Tao-x:
"I thought you'd like to know about the really weird experience I had with the Missingno on my Blue version…
"As soon as I heard about the glitch, I tried it out. I caught a Missingno and an 'M' with four other pokemon in my party. I had also been experimenting with the Magikarp glitch, which is supposed to change Magikarp to Mew in the Japanese version.
"After a lot of experiments which resulted in nothing, I put my Missingno, 'M' and Magikarp in the PC. Nothing happened, so I took Missingno back and left the other two.
"Then the weirdest thing happened. I was walking south from Lavender Town, onto the bridges across the water, when I encountered a Pokemon on the bridge. Since there is no grass here, or anything you can run into Pokemon on apart from water, I was really surprised.
"The Pokemon wasn't actually anything. The text at the bottom said, 'Wild appeared!' and there was no picture, text or anything where the opponent is supposed to be.
"This was really freaking me out, so I ran from the battle. A while later, I decided to try the Glith City trick. Sure enough, I ended up in the Glitch City, and while fishing in a water pixel, I found the same non-existent Pokemon.
"I still don't have a clue what it might have been. I was carrying at least one of the Glitch Pokemon with me both times, so it might have been that that caused it."

This, along with Celebi Glitch, is probably one of the least known "glitches" with no credible sources (unless some random joe's submission counts as credible). Has anyone here wondered or even known about this?
