I tried to look for it online but I could find anything about it so… There's someone with a gameshark that ever tried to put a Missigno in his team in Colosseum or XD? Or even tried to trade ??????? from Ruby to Colosseum?

Colosseum/XD have actually decent error handling. Any invalid Pokémon becomes an empty space.

Colosseum has error handling??? Game Freak could NOT have made something of THAT caliber…

Didn't Pokemon Stadium have this..?

EDIT: I'm pretty sure Pokemon Stadium only allowed Pokemon with index numbers that matched those of the original 151 or the 251 (GSC). Anything other wouldn't be played. Not sure about Pokemon with illegal movesets though.

In fact it was developed by Genius Sonority, not Game Freak  ;D

You can't trade MissingNo. from Ruby to Colosseum because you can't have MissingNo. in Ruby.

But talking about general glitch Pokémon, I'm not sure how it works with Stadium, other than you can send MissingNo. and also generate Bad Clones ("?????"/Pokémon hybrids), but I don't think you can send above-(1G)hex:BE or above-(2G)hex:FB glitch Pokémon in those games.

What about hex:FE Eggs ? (Or is it FD ? Dunno.)

I called it missigNo but I meant "??????" C:

Yep, I know. Didn't mean to be annoying or so, but I think it's important we don't confuse "glitch Pokémon" with the one that is specifically called MissingNo. (which is already rather imprecise, since there are many) :)

I have no clue but I don't think so. Wouldn't hex:FD have RAM values that would activate an error trap?

From what i know, In Stadium 1, glitch Pokémon would turn into Ditto's. Not sure about Stadium 2 though.
