Why Missingno. appears When the old man catches the Weedle, the game has to change your name into "OLD MAN." To do this, it replaces the variables that represents each letter of your name to the variables that represents "OLD MAN."

Where does my name go?

The game needs to put the variables of your name in a place so it can recall them later. This place is where the wild Pokémon data is. This is because the wild Pokémon data changes when you go into a new area where there are wild Pokémon, so it wouldn't be any problems.

Why does Missingno. appear when I surf on the east-coast edge of Cinnabar Island?

In order to make this trick to work, you have to fly or teleport to Cinnabar Island so that the wild Pokémon data can't change. The Cinnabar Island east-coast is programmed so that wild Pokémon can appear, but it doesn't say anything about which Pokémon can appear. When you encounter a Pokémon on the east-coast, it loads data from where you were before, and in this data, the variables of your name exists. If your name contains the letter "G" (hex variable: 86), the game loads the Pokémon in slot 86. Since there is no Pokémon in slot 86, Missingno. (Missing number) appears.

Who is missiogo and where is he in Pokemon pearl?

"Missingno" was the fan-given name of a glitch in the first generation Pokemon video games. An easily-replicated hex code error caused an odd array of pixels to appear during a Pokemon encounter instead of the usually-encountered Pokemon. Because the coding is different for games past the first generation and eliminates the error which causes Missingno to appear, Missingno is only found in Pokemon Red and Blue.
