The producers were originally planning to put in 190 Pokemon in R/B/Y but instead only put in 151. Missingno was basically the result for not using up all of the space that had been originally intended. I’m not quite sure what you meant…

Edit:There are many glitches, like the ghost, the well known Missingno, the fossil and more. I believe that they together were replacing the nonexistent 49 Pokemon.

While the existing answer is mostly correct, it’s missing detail on glitch Pokemon, which is what the asker is interested in. So in this answer, I’ll explain what glitch Pokemon are in Gen I, and how they’re different from Missingno.

Missingno. isn’t really a traditional glitch Pokemon, because it was an intentional addition by the developers. By definition, a glitch is a programming quirk that was unplanned for and was never intended by the developers. That’s certainly not what Missingno. is. Missingno. is, more or less, a data filler. I’ll get more into that later.

If you’re at all interested in what Missingno. actually is, please readthis fantastic article. This will explain everything about Missingno., from why it exists to why it registers Cubone as seen in the PokeDex. You may not be ready for the terminology, but it’s still the most useful guide out there even if you don’t understand it.

As for the rest of this actual question, I’m going to answer it in a sequential dot point form, because it’s easier to explain that way.

A brief overview to conclude:Missingno.is (most likely) formatted data from scrapped Pokemon that didn’t make it into the game. Missingno. is not a glitch. Trueglitch Pokemonare the ones found in index numbers 0 and 191 to 255, which were not intentional additions to the game.
