    Missingno. was a glitch Pokemon from the earliest games. It could be used to duplicate items, so it became quite popular. People invented a lot of stories about it causing it to be even more firmly fixed into people's brains.

    after Arceus made the first poke egg. after charged energy and anti energy and the wave energy formed the first bonds the simplest waves took shape. They formed the world we see today. But from the nothingness there was another being. We called it Missingno.

    It's still in all the mainline games, with gen9 having eggs spawn instead of pokemon. I think there's a youtube vid explaining it.
