Should Missingno be an official Pokémon?

Missingno is the junk data of johto pokemon who got scrape to be in the second generation.Its even an individual pokemon at all.Originally Kanto was suppose to be 191 pokemon including all of Johto.So it would have been one incredible region since it would be been filled alot of pokemon.
 
Wasn't Missingno. just an error handler for the extra space they had because the developers intended to have more than 151 Pokemon?

I mean, it was cute that it was referenced at all this generation (which I myself think is a stretch), but to be honest I really wouldn't like it to be an official Pokemon. Just keep it as a part of Gen 1 mythology and let it be.
 
Missingno is a cute glitch but it was never intended to be a Pokémon and it wouldn't be a very good one. It's a bit too late for that now too, if they wanted to make him official they should have started laying down the foundation for that a long time ago. If they did it now it would feel random and gimmicky.

It would be neat for an NPC to make a subtle reference to it, though.
