I'VE CAUGHT A FREAKING MEW IN POKÉMON RED, YOU GUYS

A FREAKING MEW

Catching a Mew was my dream ten years ago. My online identity was Mew before it was Riona. I tried all the ridiculous cheats people on the Internet made up to waste your time - you know, 'trade Pokémon that know Surf and Strength from someone else's game so you can surf out to the side of the S.S. Anne before it leaves and move the truck to find a Pokéball with Mew in it' (for the record, there is a mysterious truck, but there's no way of moving it) - and reached the conclusion that my Mew-ownership was, alas, never to be.

AND NOW IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE ARE GLITCHES THAT ACTUALLY WORK. (This video makes Method One (the one I used) easier to understand.)

ITS STATS ARE AMAZING AND IT LEVELS UP AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. Also, Pokémon Red is still the best game ever made (with the possible exception of Pokémon Blue, because they got all the cool cartridge-specific Pokémon muttergrumble (seriously, Sandshrew? Vulpix? Meowth? What do we get? Freaking Ekans and Mankey. Although I suppose Growlithe is acceptable (YES, I'M BITTER))) and I have no idea why I haven't played it in so long.

Sorry to the people who have no knowledge of or interest in Pokémon, except I'm not really and I'm just about to Pokémon up this entry even more.


I named my Abra 'Sammy'.


AS ALWAYS, BAD (or indeed good!) POKÉMON MANIPS AND/OR FAKE POKÉMON CARDS ARE MORE THAN WELCOME IN THE COMMENTS. Or you could tell me about some of the Pokémon you had on your team in the original Pokémon games. (DID I MENTION I HAVE A MEW?)
