I did know this when I was a kid 😂 I accidentally found it with the dude in the grass above nugget bridge. I happened to have a Abra I was trying to train up.
@@PriestessOfSlaanesh This glitch wasn't first discovered until 2002, and didn't start becoming known until 2003. If you had a Mew prior to then, you probably got it by GameShark.
The Pokémon you battle when it resets the battle after glitch (Mew) is based on the special stat of the most recently battled trainer/wild Pokémon (Youngster Slowpoke). So they found this slowpokes special = mews index number. Theoretically if you find a ditto in the wild and have some crazy high special stats you can absolutely break the game with the glitch Pokémon you trigger
Never underestimate what gamers will try. I remember cloning pokemon in silver without knowing about it until I had two lugia. Thats without knowing code errors and stuff so I'm sure people that know how coding goes like to try lots of different things to break they're game.
@@DetectiveJamesCarterThe funny thing is. We knew it on our schoolyard in year 1999/2000 and no one had internet access in the form you have today at that time.
I really loved gen 1 for me it was the start of a long road of Playing Pokemon but years later i realised even if gen 1 is really fun it is a big glitched out mess. But thad makes it iconic.
I remember playing blue when I was a kid, had done the duplication glitch many times. I went to do the dupe glitch the one day but messed up and did something different. I was swimming somewhere and I just stopped and a word bubble said, "I wish I could ride my new pokemon" and then a battle flash. Appearing before me was a mew. I freaked out, but did catch it. Don't remember how I triggered it though. Mind you this was like early 2000's if not late 90s
It's even crazier why this works. It abuses the fact that the old Pokemon games re-use a lot of space for multiple uses. For the curious. 1. By escaping a trainer it makes the game get stuck in a waiting for trainer to approach and battle state. 2. The boy is key because he has a slowpoke with a specific special stat. The special stat will affect the next encounter. The last pokemon faced is stored in the same place as trainer data. 3. When you return to the route escaped from, the game tried to pull the text from the trainer's dialog but opening the start menu stores that in the dialog spot so it opens the start menu. 4. When you close the start menu, the game thinks you talked to the trainer and starts a battle. It pulls the stats from the last pokemon battled because it's stored in the same place as trainer data. 5. Depending on the special stat of last pokemon it pulls the corresponding pokemon from the random encounters. The slowpoke has a special of 21 which is Mew's index number. So the game pulls mew out.
@@TRLT1993 There weren't just one person that figured it out and they weren't the first, assuming they figured it out on their own. Fun fact this glitch Also works on pokemon yellow.
If you have yellow version and another game to trace in original, use yellow version and trade pikachu 10 times and use a water stone on it. Can’t find it on the internet anywhere but did this in the first gen, obtaining a legitimate surfing pikachu.
I used it on the re-released version of pokemon Red for 3DS and then had to use another glitch to change its ot number to a giveaway one so I could transfer it to pokemon bank and then pokemon home. So now it thinks I have a legit mew from a gamestop giveaway from the 90's...
Ye, you can have Mew even before getting the 2d badge. The only time consuming part may be Abra, cause it only knows Teleport, so if you don't catch it with the first Pokeball or you miss with your sleeping move (Butterfree or Clefairy/Jigglypuff with Hypnosis/Sing) , it's gg. And it has 15% encounter there..

This is probably the most convoluted method of doing this. Catch an abra and heal in cerulean center. Step down on the trainer in the grass next to nugget bridge and press start when he come onto frame. Teleport to the center. Go up and battle trainer with the slowpoke. Then teleport back to cerulean. Go up nugget bridge and unpause when prompted. Also of you use growl 6 time's on the trainers slowpoke and the mew will be lvl 1. After catching him Use him in battle but swap all pokemon in so mew does not gain enough experience to lvl up. If done correctly mew will lvl up from 1 to 100 instantly.
This is called the 'Long Range Trainer' glitch. It can be altered in a few ways. After the 1st fly, the pokemon encountered changes depending on what you fought last, and how many times you growl at it. So if you fight the youngster and growl 6 times, the mew you'd encounter would be level 1. Done on pokemon yellow, there's a high chance that this level 1 'mon can be "underflowed" into a level 100. The more you know.
Lvl 1 is pretty much default and since there are no lvl 1 wild encounters, leveling up will automatically level up to 100. This also happened in Gen 2 too (all egg mons in the daycare will always be level 5). This glitch was fixed in Gen 3.
@@Miguel92398 you'd think they always underflow, but they do not always do so. Only if you have a level 1 with an obnoxious 7 digit xp count in the negative. So no, it will not always automatically
@@ssjbread2803 it definitely seems more likely to happen in yellow. Not sure the determining factor of that part. I can get a level 1 Rhyhorn that will never underflow, and a Nidoking that always will. It's rather strange.
For reference, I've been trying to complete the pokedex without trading via this glitch. Mew was very early, but not the only unobtainable. Yellow has stuff like the Team Rocket lineup and extra pikachu that are normally unobtainable. I've also found missingno with this glitch as well.
This also works on the Virtual Console ports of Red, Blue, and Yellow- however, you can't transfer the Mew. Pokémon Box and HOME recognize it as a glitched mon.
It will work on any version of the game period XD The game doesn't magically recode itself. Also fixing this would be alot more trouble than it's worth since the game is written line by line in machine code.

@@uncle_Samssubjects Step 1. You need an abra, and DO NOT FIGHT THE YOUNGSTER AT ROUTE 25!!! Step 2. Head up to nugget bridge, then take a left at the end of the bridge. When you hit the corner of the water tile, SAVE! Just in case. Step 3. head towards the grass tile closest to the water. Right before the trainer sees you, hit start. Then go to your pokemon, and select abra, and teleport. If done right, you should teleport before the battle sequence initiates. Step 4. Head back up the nugget bridge, and go towards bills house. there is a youngster on route 25, what you need to do is battle him and his slowpoke. DO NOT STEP ONTO THE TILE IN FRONT OF HIM THIS WILL LOCK YOUR GAME!!! I suggest walking 2 tiles up, then enter his line of sight. YOU MUST BEAT HIM!! Step 5. After the battle, teleport back to the poke center in Cerulean city. DO NOT ENTER ANY OF THE BUILDINGS THIS WILL CRASH YOUR GAME. Head back up to the nugget bridge. When you hit a certain tile, your start menu should pop up. Close out of the menu, and a battle should initiate. It'll be a lvl 7 Mew. If you fail any of the steps, just reset to the original save point. I don't recommend saving after the first save by nugget bridge from step 1.
This is probably the most difficult way to do this, you can actually do this with teleport before you even face the second Gym while just staying around Cerulean
finally i was just about to mention i did this with teleport with the abra u can find nearby :D i almost lost hope looking through comments for a bit lol. Edit: this guys comment needs pinning or thumbs up or something so people will know an easier way!
The most glitching battles take place swimming by the eastern shore of cinnabar, you can get any Pokemon at any level depending on the steps you do, your character name, and the special stat of your last catched mon. I don't remember the specific steps, but i recall u could get a lvl 100 nidoking without fighting brock, by the "brock through walls" glitch and so... The game has so many glitches that once data miners studied its innards, they found glitches to get almost everything in the game
This glitch has an earlier rendition, which can be done by poison or teleport. The poison method is how you activate this glitch in Viridian Forest for a rhydon, or Mewtwo. Different Pokémon will appear depending on which trainer you fought. Also, the fly to Lavender Town is not needed. Just walk back to the Nugget Bridge. Something to note is that the move Growl is somewhat important here. Use it during the trainer battle will lower the Mew's level by 1. If you reduce it to 1 and barely get any EXP, the level will underflow to 100.
Is it possible to nest these? i.e. use the glitch in viridian to make a Rhydon appear with the correct special for Mew, then a second time to get Mew itself?
@@IamGrimalkin No, because it requires the use of another battle to restore some game function. However! You can use a Ditto encounter to set up any arbitrary Special stat, because the Special stat is what's responsible for which Pokémon shows up. Once Ditto has transformed, you can run from the encounter, and wander back to the trainer that you escaped from. There are several eligible candidates. In fairness, though, we have Arbitrary Code Execution available in Red/Blue/Yellow, and TheZZAZZGlitch will absolutely be a valuable resource for getting into the meat and potatoes of bending Gen 1 to your will.
@@Omio9999 Thank you for mentioning the Ditto variant; it's so useful because you can get any pokemon this way, including most glitch pokemon. All you need to do is look-up what the corresponding Special stat you need.
Also works with the first trainer in the cerulean gym (the guy with a shellder) and abras teleport, using the guy in the grass in place of the biker by the underground trail. You effectively could get mew before the second badge.
I did this year's ago before the Internet was everywhere. Everything used to be word of mouth. Don't remember where it came from but definitely knew all about it
Back in 2000. I was invited to the official Nintendo magazine HQ in London following a promo I won. they had the Mew distribution machine and gave me a Mew on both my yellow and red carts. still have them to this day.
@@ToneyCrimsonit might be true, the gold/silver/and crystal versions spent the internal battery faster due to the clock function. I have blue, yellow and silver, and I only needed to change the battery on silver while the other two still have my save files intact.
You can use this glitch to obtain any Pokémon. It all depends on the Special stat of the last Pokémon you battle before activating the encounter. I once got myself a Lv. 7 Dragonite to use in the Lv. 10 Battle Tower in Crystal.
Fun fact: the level of the pokémon also depends on the attack boost/debuffs of the opponent. So you can use 6 growls on the opposing pokémon and you will get a level 1 pokémon, which underflows into a level 100 if you give it any amount of XP.
Yes so you could technically catch 3 mews right? I remember catching more than 2 that’s for sure but I can’t remember how I did it all those years ago.
Teleport also works, and you can get mew just after completing the nugget bridge. The trainer in the patch of grass to the left of nugget bridge can be teleported away from enabling the glitch also.
Yeah, but transferring it requires you to heavily manipulate the game's code through glitches in order to change its OT, and unless you're super lucky the same goes for shininess, which is even harder because you also have to figure out what your mew's IVs are and what you need to change them to.
I caught 2 mews, made 1 shiny. Also made mewtwo, zapdos, articuno, moltres, snorlax, lapras, scyther, blastoise, kangaskan, porygon and some others shiny as well before transferring them.😊
@@ssjbread2803bro I tried using the PokeTransporter and it said my Mew was a "problematic pokemon" and denied the transfer. I followed all the steps perfectly, so why?!
@@ssjbread2803 I believe AustinJohn did a whole tutorial on it and it's a long glitch that takes hours to do because you have to hit certain triggers in a certain way executing ACE (arbitrary code executions) combinations that result in you renaming the OT and reassgning the ID on top of reassigning the IVs that would have been in the distribution. While it can be done on both VC/physical and emulation, it's definitely recommended to make backup savestates just in case something gets royally screwed because people have corrupted their game before if they don't follow the guide verbatim. Getting the Mew is easy, doing all the rest is a metaphorical road trip.
This, along with the clone anything glitch in Emerald at Battle Tower, is absolutely EPIC. This made my childhood tonight as I played Yellow again for this specific purpose. Too bad Mew, at this point, is FARRR behind the rest of my team. But seriously. Thank you.
@@rodrigohidalgo1425 the move teleport works the same as fly for the purposes of the glitch. you can trade clafairy for mr.mime in yellow. which also knows teleport
You do this weirdly. The whole thing can be done in cerulean city before you beat misty. Go north of nugget bridge and catch an Abra. In the grass in the strip of land to the left of nugget bridge is a lone trainer. Open the menu as you walk onto the tile where he would notice you and select teleport from abra. He will notice you but you will teleport back to cerulean city without battling. Now your start menu is disabled. Go north and fight the same youngster as shown in this video, then teleport back to cerulean city and go north once again. As soon as the music changes from you entering the nugget bridge area, the menu will open. Close it and the battle with a lv 7 Mew will begin. Can be done with 1 badge (or 0 if you skip Brock with a glitch)
You can actually do this trick MUCH sooner. In fact, before you battle Misty. Heal at the cerulean city pokemon center, Catch an Abra, and use teleport before the trainer that's in the grass where you caught the Abra you caught sees you. After you beat the trainer with a slowpoke, use teleport so you go back to the cerulean city pokemon center, and walk back up the nugget bridge, and your new encounter with mew will begin.
For the first time I saw the instructions on a printed paper from a website, I hadn't much hope to it because of so many fake myths. I was clearly so happy to see the reality, point after point was real in the instruction. I never forget my happiness during this time.
Im always stunned about how people manage to decode all these things. When i played these games back in the days i had absolutely no imagination about any of this could ever be possible
You can actually do this sooner… have a clafairy that knows sing and an abra for teleport. In Mt Moon, evolve the clafairy with a moon stone. Then it will be fast enough to put abra to sleep and catch. Instead of fly use teleport and you can get this mew when you first get to cerulean city
I did this back in the day with my original yellow cartridge. I had read about it online on the computers at the library and printed the instructions to take home. I had to delete my save file and start all over to even try this. I traded over my favorite pokemon from yellow to gold using my brother's gameboy and then set out on this mysterious mission. It actually worked! Call me a nerd but this was one of the most fun and memorable experiences of my young childhood. I ported over that mew to my gold cartridge where it probably no longer exists due to a dead battery 😢
Best part is, this gets even better. You can abuse this glitch to change the level of the mew you encounter. When you fight the boy, every time you use the move growl it will lower the level of the mew by 1. If you use growl 6 times, you will encounter a lvl 1 mew. Only problem is, the game doesn’t respond well to lvl 1 Pokemon. If you go into a battle with a lvl 1 mew against a weak Pokemon and immediately sub it out before winning, the mew should gain less experience required to lvl up. If this happens your mew will immediately become lvl 100. Interesting thing about this glitch is that the Pokemon you encounter depends on the special stat of the Pokemon you fought before. This means you can easily end up catching a lvl 100 incoming or gyarados using this same strat by changing what Pokemon you face.
If you use growl until it has no effect in the youngster's slowpoke, the mew will appear at lv1. Level it up with less than 59exp and it willbimmediately loop to lv100
One more think I didn't see mentioned but is probably hidden deep in the comments is that you can hold start as soon as you press down on Route 8. This will immediately bring up the menu before the trainer spots you without having to mash the start button.
My best friend and I actually took advantage of this not too long ago using the Abra teleport method in Cerulean City. He caught the Mew in his Yellow Version then traded it over to my Silver version via the time machine. From there, I glitch-cloned the heck out of it using the box save glitch so we could make copies for his gold, my crystal and back to his yellow so that all of our cartridges had a copy of Mew. There's so much fun to be had with these old cartridges despite their age LOL.
You can also,if you have an Abra, teleport right before you are seen by trainer to the left of the top of nugget bridge. From there, battle the lass below the youngster in this video and you'll get a Lapras. You can do this with different pokemon depending on who you battle.
dang this was here the whole time. after wasting countless hours in my childhood chased mew myths. i ended up getting my mew legit at the mall at a pokemon event lol
You could also do this with the move Teleport, and with any trainer that will battle you once you step within line of sight. The Mew will also appear at any point where a route meets a town. So you could do this trick as early as Cerulean where you can catch an Abra
I feel that it is important to add that the Pokemon that you encounter is based on the special stat of the last pokemon that you encountered. You can loose to the trainer on his last pokemon going back to the Pokemon center and it will still work. You can also encounter wild pokemon to change it up as well.
I did this on my Game Boy color. and there is another trick with the guy in the grass in Azuria and so I had 2 Mews in the same game and I transferred them to another cartridge, and so on and I ended up having a team of 6 Mews and knowing that Mew can learn any attack, I made a team with the attacks I wanted, it was incredible.

HOW THE FUCK DID ANYONE FIGURE THIS OUT
Seriously, I always wondered how they did it since it seems so random.
Usually they decipher the coding in the game to figure out how to force certain actions.
The Pokémon you battle when it resets the battle after glitch (Mew) is based on the special stat of the most recently battled trainer/wild Pokémon (Youngster Slowpoke). So they found this slowpokes special = mews index number. Theoretically if you find a ditto in the wild and have some crazy high special stats you can absolutely break the game with the glitch Pokémon you trigger

*fly’s away*
I swear those games are held together by toothpicks and chewed gum
This glitch has an earlier rendition, which can be done by poison or teleport. The poison method is how you activate this glitch in Viridian Forest for a rhydon, or Mewtwo. Different Pokémon will appear depending on which trainer you fought.
Also, the fly to Lavender Town is not needed. Just walk back to the Nugget Bridge.
Something to note is that the move Growl is somewhat important here. Use it during the trainer battle will lower the Mew's level by 1. If you reduce it to 1 and barely get any EXP, the level will underflow to 100.
Is it possible to nest these?
i.e. use the glitch in viridian to make a Rhydon appear with the correct special for Mew, then a second time to get Mew itself?
@@IamGrimalkin No, because it requires the use of another battle to restore some game function.
However!
You can use a Ditto encounter to set up any arbitrary Special stat, because the Special stat is what's responsible for which Pokémon shows up. Once Ditto has transformed, you can run from the encounter, and wander back to the trainer that you escaped from. There are several eligible candidates.
In fairness, though, we have Arbitrary Code Execution available in Red/Blue/Yellow, and TheZZAZZGlitch will absolutely be a valuable resource for getting into the meat and potatoes of bending Gen 1 to your will.
@@Omio9999 Thank you for mentioning the Ditto variant; it's so useful because you can get any pokemon this way, including most glitch pokemon. All you need to do is look-up what the corresponding Special stat you need.
@@jajjfajsidjoigfeyou can even use it to fight an encounter with unused Trainers and fight them.
Also works with the first trainer in the cerulean gym (the guy with a shellder) and abras teleport, using the guy in the grass in place of the biker by the underground trail. You effectively could get mew before the second badge.
This trainer can also be fought pre 2nd gym badge with abra teleport
If you’re feeling feisty you can also perform the hilarious Brock through Walls glitch and battle either trainer with 0 badges
This. I've had fun with dual Mew playthroughs in the past.
@@dannymurray1854maybe you're a genius, but I think that's exactly what the op said..
@@mantizshrimp Benefit of the doubt 👍thanks friend
I actually did this on a emulator. Was wild af.
You just answered my question for me thanks lol
I remember this. So epic!
Worked!! After so long I finally caught Mew ❤😊
I did this year's ago before the Internet was everywhere. Everything used to be word of mouth. Don't remember where it came from but definitely knew all about it
Everyone and their brother knew the rare candy code too. It’s amazing how fast and wide info used to travel
But there were magazines!!
I always knew about the Nugget Bridge Mew but I never seen the Lavender town mew glitch sweet info
I remember doing this on my Pokémon yellow :). Brings back memories.
I don't think this works on Pokemon Yellow.
@@ridwanulislam2511
It does.
@@ridwanulislam2511he’s literally playing yellow in the video.
I remember doing this when I was a child.
I told all my friends about it, and they have been eternally grateful since 😂
Back in 2000. I was invited to the official Nintendo magazine HQ in London following a promo I won. they had the Mew distribution machine and gave me a Mew on both my yellow and red carts. still have them to this day.
Lies, your internal battery died and you lost the save.
@@ToneyCrimsonit might be true, the gold/silver/and crystal versions spent the internal battery faster due to the clock function. I have blue, yellow and silver, and I only needed to change the battery on silver while the other two still have my save files intact.
@@ToneyCrimson no both saves are still on there.
@@themetal6216cool man! Crazy to hear those old copies still alive
I have mine somewhere. Its got some gameshark mews
Woooooooow, decades old information! Thx so much!!!!1!1!!!
You can use this glitch to obtain any Pokémon. It all depends on the Special stat of the last Pokémon you battle before activating the encounter. I once got myself a Lv. 7 Dragonite to use in the Lv. 10 Battle Tower in Crystal.
Yup I caught all 151 with this method. Individually without evolving them
Fun fact: the level of the pokémon also depends on the attack boost/debuffs of the opponent. So you can use 6 growls on the opposing pokémon and you will get a level 1 pokémon, which underflows into a level 100 if you give it any amount of XP.
@@JadeJuno actually, you have to give it a certain amount, if you give it too much then it levels up properly
Teleport also works. Just make sure the cerulean pokemon center was the last building you entered
You can do this literally right past Nugget bridge via the trainer in the grass on the left…
Yes so you could technically catch 3 mews right? I remember catching more than 2 that’s for sure but I can’t remember how I did it all those years ago.
Dont do this to me, I still have truck flashbacks
Teleport also works, and you can get mew just after completing the nugget bridge. The trainer in the patch of grass to the left of nugget bridge can be teleported away from enabling the glitch also.
“Yo bro let’s bat-
“shit where tf did the dude go”
good one, funny guy
You can also make that Mew shiny and transfer it to Sword and Shield if you’re using the virtual console game 👍
Yeah, but transferring it requires you to heavily manipulate the game's code through glitches in order to change its OT, and unless you're super lucky the same goes for shininess, which is even harder because you also have to figure out what your mew's IVs are and what you need to change them to.
I caught 2 mews, made 1 shiny. Also made mewtwo, zapdos, articuno, moltres, snorlax, lapras, scyther, blastoise, kangaskan, porygon and some others shiny as well before transferring them.😊
@@ssjbread2803bro I tried using the PokeTransporter and it said my Mew was a "problematic pokemon" and denied the transfer. I followed all the steps perfectly, so why?!
@@ssjbread2803 I believe AustinJohn did a whole tutorial on it and it's a long glitch that takes hours to do because you have to hit certain triggers in a certain way executing ACE (arbitrary code executions) combinations that result in you renaming the OT and reassgning the ID on top of reassigning the IVs that would have been in the distribution. While it can be done on both VC/physical and emulation, it's definitely recommended to make backup savestates just in case something gets royally screwed because people have corrupted their game before if they don't follow the guide verbatim. Getting the Mew is easy, doing all the rest is a metaphorical road trip.
@@PhillyCh3zSt3ak yup
The prophecy has been fulfilled!
Seriously, someone had to have willed this into existence.
This, along with the clone anything glitch in Emerald at Battle Tower, is absolutely EPIC. This made my childhood tonight as I played Yellow again for this specific purpose. Too bad Mew, at this point, is FARRR behind the rest of my team. But seriously. Thank you.
it's even easier than that you can get a lvl 1 mew before beating misty buy catching an abra or clafairy.
How?
@@rodrigohidalgo1425 the move teleport works the same as fly for the purposes of the glitch. you can trade clafairy for mr.mime in yellow. which also knows teleport
You do this weirdly. The whole thing can be done in cerulean city before you beat misty.
Go north of nugget bridge and catch an Abra. In the grass in the strip of land to the left of nugget bridge is a lone trainer. Open the menu as you walk onto the tile where he would notice you and select teleport from abra. He will notice you but you will teleport back to cerulean city without battling. Now your start menu is disabled. Go north and fight the same youngster as shown in this video, then teleport back to cerulean city and go north once again.
As soon as the music changes from you entering the nugget bridge area, the menu will open. Close it and the battle with a lv 7 Mew will begin.
Can be done with 1 badge (or 0 if you skip Brock with a glitch)
You can actually do this trick MUCH sooner. In fact, before you battle Misty. Heal at the cerulean city pokemon center, Catch an Abra, and use teleport before the trainer that's in the grass where you caught the Abra you caught sees you. After you beat the trainer with a slowpoke, use teleport so you go back to the cerulean city pokemon center, and walk back up the nugget bridge, and your new encounter with mew will begin.
AND if you use grow 6 times on the youngster slowpoke, Mew will be lv 1. Give him less exp that he needs to evolve, and he will lv up to lv 100.
For the first time I saw the instructions on a printed paper from a website, I hadn't much hope to it because of so many fake myths. I was clearly so happy to see the reality, point after point was real in the instruction. I never forget my happiness during this time.
I needed this this shit 28 years ago!! Dammmit🤯😫😫
When I did this this as a kid, I couldn't believe it when it actually worked!
Does this work on the 3Ds copies ?
Yes, they should!
Yes it works
We will still be discovering new glitches in 2096.
you think missingno will be a "real" non glitched pokemon by then?
Seeing as this glitch was discovered and widespread in the 90s, probably not.
I did this! Game shark game breaker
I was so happy to get a Mew when I replayed this several years back with this trick.
Instructions unclear. My blastoise turned into a feraligator
The greatest glitch in gaming history in my opinion.
Awesome video, my friend! Keep up the good work!
If someone did this in elementary school, they would've been the coolest kid for decades.
This feels like one of those funny parody tutorials, like how to get a ray gun in call of duty online 😂
Pikachu was like "WTF are we doing?"
Still one of the most legendary glitches in gaming history.
This guy flip-flopped on the tax subject so hard
Broken games for broken minds..ahh sweet childhood
Im always stunned about how people manage to decode all these things. When i played these games back in the days i had absolutely no imagination about any of this could ever be possible
I remember back in the 90s there was only fake methods of catching mew lol
And then actually finding this one , was so blown away it actually worked
I got a copy of yellow in a repair bundle. After saving it i started playing for the first time. Can't wait to try some of the tips I've seen
I thought I was slick in figuring out how to duplicate items. This is next level.
Der älteste glich und der beste in der gesamten pokemon Geschichte, denn wer das damals wusste war king 😂
I think I’m gonna have to play Pokemon Yellow after nearly 30 years, to confirm this.
Without cheats - with cheats, same same
This reminds me of how my friends would tell me "a, a, up, down, b, b, start, tandom buttons, etc" would put my in my party
I'd count glitches into the "cheating" category, but whatever.
was known on old pokemon forums, whispered through the schoolyard, crazy how time flies
I only knew about the missingo and used it plenty. All my Pokémon’s where level 100🤣
You can actually do this sooner… have a clafairy that knows sing and an abra for teleport. In Mt Moon, evolve the clafairy with a moon stone. Then it will be fast enough to put abra to sleep and catch. Instead of fly use teleport and you can get this mew when you first get to cerulean city
I did this back in the day with my original yellow cartridge. I had read about it online on the computers at the library and printed the instructions to take home. I had to delete my save file and start all over to even try this. I traded over my favorite pokemon from yellow to gold using my brother's gameboy and then set out on this mysterious mission. It actually worked! Call me a nerd but this was one of the most fun and memorable experiences of my young childhood. I ported over that mew to my gold cartridge where it probably no longer exists due to a dead battery 😢
Best part is, this gets even better. You can abuse this glitch to change the level of the mew you encounter. When you fight the boy, every time you use the move growl it will lower the level of the mew by 1. If you use growl 6 times, you will encounter a lvl 1 mew. Only problem is, the game doesn’t respond well to lvl 1 Pokemon. If you go into a battle with a lvl 1 mew against a weak Pokemon and immediately sub it out before winning, the mew should gain less experience required to lvl up. If this happens your mew will immediately become lvl 100.
Interesting thing about this glitch is that the Pokemon you encounter depends on the special stat of the Pokemon you fought before. This means you can easily end up catching a lvl 100 incoming or gyarados using this same strat by changing what Pokemon you face.
This is some mew under the truck shit
If you use growl until it has no effect in the youngster's slowpoke, the mew will appear at lv1. Level it up with less than 59exp and it willbimmediately loop to lv100
We all convinced as kids mew was under that truck by the SS Anne 😮💨
Love these
One more think I didn't see mentioned but is probably hidden deep in the comments is that you can hold start as soon as you press down on Route 8. This will immediately bring up the menu before the trainer spots you without having to mash the start button.
My best friend and I actually took advantage of this not too long ago using the Abra teleport method in Cerulean City. He caught the Mew in his Yellow Version then traded it over to my Silver version via the time machine. From there, I glitch-cloned the heck out of it using the box save glitch so we could make copies for his gold, my crystal and back to his yellow so that all of our cartridges had a copy of Mew. There's so much fun to be had with these old cartridges despite their age LOL.
This is even wilder than the mew under the truck rumor
You can also,if you have an Abra, teleport right before you are seen by trainer to the left of the top of nugget bridge.
From there, battle the lass below the youngster in this video and you'll get a Lapras.
You can do this with different pokemon depending on who you battle.
the 10 yr old in me is both stoked and pissed lol
i think you can also manipulate the game into starting the secret professor oak battle
Spending 27 years playing Pokémon red just to figure this out is crazy
I thought this was gonna be the hidden truck in Vermilion Harbor 😂
dang this was here the whole time. after wasting countless hours in my childhood chased mew myths. i ended up getting my mew legit at the mall at a pokemon event lol
I remember I learned this more than 20 years ago on RUclips, and I was so excited when I did this in Pomemon Yellow.
You could also do this with the move Teleport, and with any trainer that will battle you once you step within line of sight. The Mew will also appear at any point where a route meets a town. So you could do this trick as early as Cerulean where you can catch an Abra
It’s even crazier that this has been known for 20+ years
I recall finding a mew in the small patch of grass before entering mt. moon. No cheats just "won the lottery" for odds of it happening.
I feel that it is important to add that the Pokemon that you encounter is based on the special stat of the last pokemon that you encountered. You can loose to the trainer on his last pokemon going back to the Pokemon center and it will still work. You can also encounter wild pokemon to change it up as well.
Tested this as an adult, and yes, it still works!
Gen 1 was so glitchy! Ahhh my childhood😂
Instructions unclear im fighting oak
Growing up I always used the teleport method, as it allows you to get Mew even earlier.
I did this on my Game Boy color. and there is another trick with the guy in the grass in Azuria and so I had 2 Mews in the same game and I transferred them to another cartridge, and so on and I ended up having a team of 6 Mews and knowing that Mew can learn any attack, I made a team with the attacks I wanted, it was incredible.
