Talk:Mew glitch

On the subject of the lavender comment:

The original use of this glitch involved Lavender Town, but the version useable at the earliest point in-game is Cerulean. Wherever the first trainer you "evaded" is is where you should go to trigger your fight.

Green

Does this glich work in the Japanese Green verison?

Yes, I just tested it mysself. This glitch does work with Japanese Red and Green. I haven't tested Japanese Blue, but I assume it works as well since it is so similar to the English Red and Blue.--Rby4ever 08:26, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Fire Red

Does this glitch work in Fire Red Version for GBA?

Probably not. - 振霖_T 05:22, 13 November 2005 (CST)

Nope. - MrWho 22:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Cubone

I caught a Cubone using Method 1#, do exactly the same only instead of the youngster the Hiker!File:Ani025MS.gifSonic Pikachu ^RTP|1#fan File:Ani155MS.gifFile:Ani001MS.gif 08:12, 11 February 2008 (UTC) And a Lapras!File:Ani025MS.gifSonic Pikachu ^RTP|1#fan File:Ani155MS.gifFile:Ani001MS.gif 08:17, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

New Mew

I found another trainer that bears Mew. The Swimmer♂ in Misty's Gym makes the glitch possible too.File:Ani025MS.gifSonic Pikachu ^RTP|1#fan File:Ani155MS.gifFile:Ani001MS.gif 16:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Any proof??? --Theryguy512 22:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Um... No, but it does work. Really!File:Ani025MS.gifSonic Pikachu ^RTP|1#fan File:Ani155MS.gifFile:Ani001MS.gif 18:48, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm........--Theryguy512 22:49, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it should make much of a difference if it's added or not. But if it works then put it in. Just check a couple of times that it works. TESHIGIGAS 22:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. --Theryguy512 01:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Another way to get Mew.

Instead of going to Lavender Town afterwards you can also go down to Saffron City and before you enter the gate to go toward Lavender Town you encounter him.--Pmddbzaotil 21:29, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

L. 1-7 Mew

I heard once that lowering the Ditto or Trainer Pokémon's Attack modifier lowers the resulting wild Pokémon's level. Like if you use Growl six times on the Youngster's Slowpoke before beating it, the Mew will be L. 1. Since you can't increase its Attack, it can't get any higher than L. 7. If anyone would care to verify, that would be great. --隼也 18:01, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that's true. That was first discovered at a speedrunning forum. IIMarckus 18:51, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

3rd Person

Should this be from a third person? ht14 02:12, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. I was thinking that we should clean this page up so it doesn't look like a walkthrough. I mean, of course, it pretty much is... but yes. Remove the yous. TTEchidna 02:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

It's pretty hard though, that's all. ht14 02:16, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

We shouldn't be using the command form either. That means, no "Go to" or "Do this". That's the second person just as much as "then you do this"; command form implies second person. So just removing the "yous" doesn't work either. So this needs to be cleaned up even more so that just removing the "yous".Satosuke 16:13, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I changed it all to "the player", so i think it's fine now Leaf Storm 18:58, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Two Mew Available and the Swimmer at the Gym

Gym trainers are unchallengeable after their Leader has been defeated. Thus, while you can avoid that swimmer and he has the correct stats on his Pokémon, he can't be challenged for the sake of the Mew Trick. Someone didn't do their research. Satosuke 12:51, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

And that someone was me. The swimmer is involved in the first method, which doesn't need cut, so can be done before Misty. Sorry for the commotion. Satosuke 12:58, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Did you test it? Or am I still the only one to have done it?_Sonic^PikachuThe No.1fan 18:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Yellow

How about the English Yellow Version? Has anybody tested that? Yeah, it does, I've just done it. I'll work this into the main article.--Ggled 11:09, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello

Hello. I have the strategy guide for Yellow version, which I can use to transfer images from the book into this site, if it helps.--Tmwps 08:20, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Glitch not working right!

The glitch isn't working right for me. Here's what I did: 1. Caught an Abra. 2. Saved. This part is what I'm supposed to do. I just explained it badly. 3. walked to the Junior Trainer next to the bridge 4. Opened the menu. 5. Teleported. 6. He saw me, but I ended up in Cerulean City. OK, I'm done with the bad explaining. 7. Fought the Youngster with the Slowpoke. 8. Won. 9. Saved. What I did first: 10. Teleported to Cerulean City. 11. Went to the Nugget Bridge. 12. The menu opened itself! 13. I closed it. 14. Mew didn't appear! I read the article, so I soft resetted. After that, I tried this: 10. Walked to Cerulean City. 11. When I left the Route, the menu appeared! 12. I closed it. 13. Mew didn't appear!

I think the problem was #9, but I'm not sure. Alakazam 2

"I saw your feat from the grass!"

File:Feat.jpg

Visual proof that "feat" is indeed the word. This is true not only in Generation I, but its Generation III remakes as well.

I can't believe people are still insisting that "feat" is a misspelling of "feet". If anyone even bothered to read a dictionary definition, one can tell that feat is most definitely a word, and as such, can deduce that the Jr. Trainer (Camper in FireRed and LeafGreen) was referring to the act of the player character clearing the Nugget Bridge challenge. In fact, given the barriers across the water, it would make absolutely no sense for the Jr. Trainer to claim he saw the player's feet. In conclusion, the line as given in the game is correct as it is, and any attempt to change the correct "feat" to the incorrect "feet", especially if citing a "spelling error", will result in a warning, and potentially a block if things go too far. --Shiningpikablu252 05:40, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Lol, funny thing is, I understood when I first played Blue. I was 6. Porygon-Z 05:45, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Move

"Mew glitch" is a bad name, as it infers that the glitch is centered on Mew, when in fact Mew is simply what many people use this glitch to catch. Rather, I suggest a name like Trainer flee glitch. --SnorlaxMonster. Help here 03:08, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure... I think the Trainer flee glitch as you call it isn't considered canon like Mew glitch... as in known throughout the world... ^ht14 03:32, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, Mew glitch would stay redirect, but I do see the problem with it being commonly known as the Mew glitch. --SnorlaxMonster. Help here 04:42, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I think I know. The third method AKA Ditto Trick could become its own article as it involves Ditto, while the other 2 are specifically for catching Mew, and can be left as Mew Glitch. --SnorlaxMonster. Help here 10:43, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Any thoughts? --SnorlaxMonster 10:39, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

I agree, I never liked the term "Mew Glitch" either. It has absolutely nothing to do with Mew, but can be used to obtain any Pokemon. Likewise, the "methods" in the article should go as well, they're just the same ones copy-pasted all over the net by people who have no idea how the glitch actually work. A proper description of the glitch, how to use it, and what you can do with it is what an article should be about, not the same stupid "follow these steps to catch Mew!!!" crap you see everywhere. Ditto doesn't really have anything to do with the glitch either, he's just a handy way of getting the Pokemon you want out of it, so a proper name should be "Wild Pokemon Manipulation Glitch" or something.

Level 1 Pokémon

A user decided that this section be removed as it works everywhere. Can someone reword the section (not delete) so that it describes how to do it anywhere. --SnorlaxMonster 10:39, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

A user was not lying. He did not put it on the talk page as Bulbapedia kept crashing. All it needs to say is "the opponents attack stage from the battle before being higher or lower causes the Pokémon found's level to be changes, which the article previously said, then just say a level 1 Pokémon (which can be caught with this glitch) with whatever algorithm will level to 100. I'm pretty sure it already says it in the article anyway. OwnageMuch 04:09, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Alright, another user will put a section on List of minor glitches about the glitch that occurs with level 1 Pokémon which causes them to level up to 100. --SnorlaxMonster 06:46, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

And a lazy user will thank another user very much. OwnageMuch 02:54, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
