Odd that this hasn't been stated yet...

In addition to the 000 being error prevention, since all coding starts its count at 0, possibly they were planning on having that text appear in place of the dex info for a pokemon that you have seen, but not yet captured, Later scrapping this idea and with their habit of leaving programming trash lying inside their cartridges, they forgot to remove the message, though they did remember to dummy it out, and this is the result.

I've found tons of dummied items in my long habit of enterring random variables in for an item cheat. I'm pretty sure most everyone here with a gameshark remembers the ????? item from R/B/Y that acted like Surf out of Battle. Experimenting with such things with more equipment intense games, like FF or SaGa frontier has yielded similiar things, like the 330G item in FF, which if equipped, acts as armor, and if de-equipped, acts like evasion up the wazoo.
So yeah, dummied stuff exists all the time. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if I found out the existence of dummied classes in X-2, later.

But, for a better, IE- more amusing theory... There WAS going to be a pokemon there, but they just kinda forgot where they put it.
