Call me old fashioned but I miss the old days when shit like this would take decades to discover and even then it would be shrouded in doubt and mystery.
Kids today just hop on youtube and know all the secrets in a short 40 minute video full of ads sponsorships and fillers.
Still trying to catch that mew under the car near the SS Anne
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.
