Still trying to catch that mew under the car near the SS Anne
You’ll probably enjoy this. https://youtube.com/watch?v=i2x3pIvVnP4
Seven years ago and I still hadn’t heard of this. I definitely enjoyed that, thank you!
I remember that! Those were the days. The Missingno glitch made it sound so plausible. That and the various supposed guides on how to unlock Pikachu with Surf in Gold/Silver.
I ended up doing the teleportation glitch to get a mew as an adult so I could finally get some closure
We actually had a kid with a Mew on his cartridge all the way back then in one of the parallel classes. I think he got it legit off of one of the giveaways/events.
Needless to say he and his link cable was quite the popular 8/9-year old in the school yard. And he put that bargaining power to use.
Same here, although his could have been GameSharked for all I know. Didn't matter, that sweet, sweet 151 was finally mine, until my little brother started his own save while I was at school. Damn near unforgivable
I had a Game Genie and still remember the code to this day hahaha. I actually brought my Blue cart to an event and got a legitimate Mew as well!
Just to battle against? Because gen 1 didn't have breeding, so he couldn't give out Mews, right?
Edit: oh right, legendaries can't breed anyway.
Gen 1 had easy cable club cloning.
Oh wow, that's so easy.
I can't find it anymore but I swear there's a method involving the bug catching contest where you could end up teaching any moves to any pokemon and I ended up with an onix with surf.
Or pikablu by fighting the elite 4 50 times without healing
Love how most of these classic “cheats” are conveniently too tedious to verify. It didn’t work? You must’ve done it wrong.
