Nope, just got one from the glitch that was discovered years later.

Nope, lived in the middle of nowhere KY, so I Game Genied them into my games.

Did this on the VC releases, waiting for it to not be transferable when the bank update happens.

what's better, a gameshark mew or a glitch mew?

the mew glitch is actually really easy to pull off

you can actually do it in two spots and catch two mews.

that settles it I guess.

any downside by using the glitch like graphics fucking up?

i've done it three times on two different systems and have had no problems

How do you get mew? I'm curious

Only if you do the Missingno glitch, which is suboptimal anyway because you'll need to have a retarded name to trigger the glitch.

Use a different one and you'll be fine.

They gave on out over the internet a while ago. Can't remember what game it was for though. BW or XY I think.

They gave them out for any Virtual Console edition of Blue, Red or Yellow at the London Launch event for Sun and Moon

Source: I was there

I can't help but shake the feeling that Mew is often portrayed as exceptionally powerful, even though it's base stats are really just average. Like allegedly, it'd have like 400 or so Special when it should top off at around 300ish. Were legit Mews stronger than the glitch ones?

X/Y and ORAS for Pokemon 20th Anniversary back in February

It was a serial code from GameStop

Doing the Missingno. glitch won't screw up the Hall of Fame if you haven't entered it yet. I suggest doing everything you want to do with Missingno before entering the Hall of Fame.

No downsides at all. You can also transfer them to Pokémon Stadium.

About two or three events, from events in 98 and 99.

>one older friend gets this in some toy'r'us event
>proceeds to trade it to a gold version
>multiply the shit out of him
box'd 9/10 until everyone in the hood had a fucking mew

And then everyone's batteries died and the Mews were lost forever

A game genie Mew was the most OP of all characters, specifically because depending where you caught him, he'd have high as fuck stats.

fuck

...

I got 4. 2 for Fire red, 2 for Emerald from a Toys R Us event.

I did. I lived in Las Vegas for most of grade school and through middle school.
They had an event at the Galleria, put my cartridge into a big machine with a TV in it.
They also had a tournament, you got shitty little cardstock badges if you won. You got a Boulder Badge for beating one opponent and a Cascade Badge for beating two.

Not for RBY at least. New Zealand at least was cucked out of events until Gen IV came along.

>X/Y and ORAS for Pokemon 20th Anniversary back in February
No, it was before that.

I remember that. I had a team of 6 Mewtwo's and beat everyone when they held it over in California.

Psychic attacks were so OP in Red / Blue and most people here would use shitty pokemon like Gyarados.

>6 Mewtwos
You're a cunt. But you know what's up. I like that.

No. I live in a third world country.
I'm happy they give free pokemon via internet now.

>One time Pokemon
>It's a card from Gamestop
>only 1 local GS
>"We didn't get any" every time

Thankfully I'm only still missing Volcanion.

Now downsides at all. You're just making the game think you're getting into a battle with a wild Pokemon and setting up the glitch to make that Pokemon Mew.

I'd like to know how exactly this glitch works.

You trigger a trainer battle, then interrump it before you actually go into battle.
You then fight another trainer in another area of the game, which closes the trainer "!" fight that you previously interrumpted, but you're fighting a different one instead.

The last pokemon of that trainer you fight's Special stat is the number that's most important of all.
To get Mew, the special stat of the last pokemon you fight should be 21, I think, because Mew was the 21st pokemon added to the game's code.
After you beat the other trainer, you go back to the previous area, where you cancelled the trainer fight. The game goes glitch right there and triggers a random encounter, here's where the special stat comes into play. Special stat 21 = Mew fight.

You can do this with every other pokemon in the game, in fact there's an advanced way to get any pokemon you want by fighting a wild Ditto.

>people asking if the mew glitch is safe
kek

I've reprogrammed the game within itself and it's still fine.

First, it doesn't have to be an Abra with teleport. You can do it with FLY as well. The main thing is that the trainer he encounters is off the screen before the encounter, and you can quickly press start and "escape" from the fight. This works with any trainer who would "scroll" on the screen like this.

The thing is, the game remembers that there should have been an encounter in that area (near the nugget bridge). The game has a variable stored in it which points to that exact trainer. The next step is to somehow change that variable before returning to the area.

The trick is that, because the GB had very limited memory, lots of things (that under normal gameplay shouldn't interfere) shared the area of memory. The opponent's SPECIAL stat actually shares this same area of memory. That slowpoke has a SPECIAL stat of 21; you can actually also do this glitch by fighting a ditto and letting it transform into one of your pokemon with SPECIAL of 21.

Why 21? It refers specifically to a MEW encounter. There are lots of other numbers that would point to other encounters; you can actually encounter any pokemon or trainer (along with shitloads of glitchy ones) by using other numbers than 21.

Anyway, when you return to nugget bridge, the game remember that there should have been an encounter. Normally, the "encounter" variable would have been set to whatever that trainer should have been, but you had set it to 21 yourself. Thus, instead of facing that trainer you "escaped" from, you get the MEW encounter.

Props to the guy who figured this convoluted shit out

I didn't even know Pokemon events were a thing until Gen V

My guess is that the "escape from trainer" part was discovered on accident, while specific knowledge of how to manipulate this to get the right encounter you want probably required someone to look at how memory is used when the game runs.

Turn on annotations. You'll find out how broken this game really is.

>only kid in my class with a gameshark
>everyone starts showing up to my house to get a mew

how the hell did you own a gameshark when they weren't around during the original gameboy era?
