Trying to catch an Abra for the Mew glitch. What a pain.

This drove me nuts as well. What I did was get a Butterfree to level 15, where it learns Sleep Powder. It will definitely be faster than the Abra, and if you use Sleep Powder in conjuction with confusion, you can get it down low enough to nab one.

I'm in Vermillion City now. Obviously this game has a lot of QOL annoyances that were fixed in later gens, but I am having a ton of fun with this game. It is truly a classic.

Definitely.

I always have to raise an eyebrow when people cite it as unplayable, either because of glitches or how archaic it is. That it remains an enjoyable experience in spite of the aforementioned things is a testament to the strength of the game's design.

 

[Heropon]

I can't believe how difficult a fight against Tentacool was. Wrap really hurts when you have slow pokemon and then you add confusion to the mix. Drowzee and Pikachu almost got destroyed in that fight.

From checking Google I found this map of trainers and their Pokemon glitch yields here (fourth post on the page, applicable to Red/Blue - other people chime in about additional/different trainers in Yellow):

http://profglitch.proboards.com/thread/349/list-mew-glitch-battle-yields

Wait, what? You could glitch for an Exeggcute by Mew glitching to Blue's first battle with you? How the fuck is that possible?

 

[maniac-kun]

Is there a normal way to obtain Mew?

Pokemon Events at Malls. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Otherwise... NO.

So if i messup the glitch I can start from the beginning?

;_;

 

[Shizuka]

It doesn't take that long to get to the Mew glitch, you can start a new game and get there in five hours.

 

[sonto340]

;_;

This is why you save before attempting!
There's two well known mew glitches.
The one on nugget bridge and the one on cycle road. Save before you try to step in front of the trainer on the next one!

 

[Revven]

You can save before you attempt the glitch and if you mess up you can then just restart from when you saved. If you already fought the trainers you need to get the Mew glitch then yeah you'll have to start over on a new save.

 

[Jaagen]

I caught an Abra, but looking at the Mew glitch on Youtube, I already beat one of the trainers required to perform the glitch(the one to the left of the nugget bridge) That sucks.

I can, however, still use the Fly glitch in order to catch Mew.

 

[Gartooth]

Shoot, didn't even think about doing the Mew glitch. Is there any other way to get it if you have already defeated the Youngster with the Slowpoke?

 

[Grief.exe]

Guys

guys

what if the Mews we get from R/B/Y transforms into Mewthree when transferred to Pokemon Sun and Moon?

Better question, what happens to the Missingno transfers?

 

[entremet]

Are there maps somewhere with the hidden item locations?

 

[Dishwalla]

The first swimmer in Cerulean Gym, if you haven't beaten him already.

Edit: Oh yeah, the swimmer in Misty's gym.

Actually going to go do that now.

You just need to fight a Pokemon that has the same special stat as that slowpoke.

 

[slightconfuse]

Just got past Brock in Yellow.

Butter free(lv 11)
Pidgy (lv 10)
PiKachu(lv 10)
Mankey(lv 9)
Nidoran(lv 8)

Still a really fun game, but it starts out real slow

 

[blame space]

Where did you get a butterfree? In the forest?

Oh, I messed up then since I've beaten every trainer on my path to Vermilion City. haha

Oh well, already got Mew from this month's distribution. I was just curious to try the glitch for myself.

Man I was going to buy this on my 2DS, but no chance for £8.99. thought it would be maybe £1.99 or something, but £9.00 just seems a bit steep for a game thats 20 years old.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Leveling up the Magikarp you buy in Mt Moon is a real pain. One more level till it gets Tackle tho. >_>

 

[Kinsei]

Where did you get a butterfree? In the forest?

You can't catch wild Butterfree, you gotta evolve Metapod into one.

 

[Zombine]

Took me about 5 hours to get to that point, but I secured my Mew rather effortlessly. I think that's the only glitch I'll be partaking in. I wore out all the other ones when I was a kid.

 

[Dishwalla]

Catch a Caterpie or Metapod and level it up. Metapod evolves at level 10 into Butterfree

 

[Dark Orchid]

For those wondering why this seemingly random set of events results in Mew, here's why. I miss these sorts of programming flaws.

 

[yoonshik]

How?

How'd you get that?

I'm already in pain about choosing my teammates. I dunno how I do it in X/Y/OR/AS, where there's 722 to choose from.

Right now I've got Pikachu/Charmander/Bulbasaur/Mankey/Pidgeotto and Mew, but I want to include Squirtle as well.

pidgey sand attack shenanigans pls go

Got to Vermilion, team looks like this:

I'll grind Sandbro into a Sandslash before going after Surge.

 

[slightconfuse]

Leveled up a caterpie all the way through

Holy shit this is awesome. It's too late for me on my current game, but I have a Yellow cart that I can try this out on.

These were my thoughts but in the end I went fuck it, it's the 20th anniversary and I'm a fool for nostalgia so I went with it.

Im just standing before the moon mountain (playing in german) tunnel after route 3.

Yeah you're not there yet, the trainers are near Nugget Bridge in Cerulean.

Hey folks. Need some assistance from the people in the know.

What's the easiest way to get all 3 starter Pokemon? I remember 20 years ago we would have one friend trade us them from a new save. Is that still possible? What if I traded to a friend and had him trade them back to me? Is that an option? I also don't mind buying both games if necessary.

Thanks.

You can try this duplication glitch(ignore the fact this vid is of the Gen II games, it works in the same manner), however it is risky, you can mess up the save file.

 

[Onikaan]

Awesome, thanks for the replies. How far into the game until I can get em? I would kinda like to start with them.

Hmm, wonder if using the glitch is worth the risk!

 

[Heropon]

Fighting Misty after beating all the trainers in SS Anne wasn't really eventful but after so many bad memories about her Starmie I try to pospone that fight the most I can. The only interesting thing was how the Staryu didn't miss any moves until I had used Double Team four times while I only need one sand attack to miss everything after that.

LT Surge was even more of a letdown as he only had a Raichu and Sandslash one-shotted it with Dig. I think I've found a lot of respect for DPV (Sandslash) in this run thanks to early Slash and Dig (As powerful as Earthquake in gen I).

My team right now is:
DPV the Sandslash (lv 26)
M Zippo the Charmeleon (lv 18)
Tesla X the Pikachu (lv 25)
Pullman the Drowzee (lv 20)
Battleship the Squirtle (lv 10)

Mankey went to the PC as soon as I saw his level up moveset and its resemblance to a wasteland. I prefer to wait for a Hitmonlee.

I don't see the issue. You're paying for a digital copy which you'll presumably be able to carry forward to future Nintendo consoles.

Try seeking out a genuine (lots of fakes on eBay) cartridge and a Game Boy/Color/Advance/etc., and the price seems a lot more reasonable.

Plus some work has gone into the games to introduce Wi-Fi local trading, and the upcoming Pokémon Bank functionality.

Awesome vid! I love learning about how and why these glitches happen and this vid did exactly that! Thank you!

LOL caught Abra first try with a Poke Ball at full health.

Edit: Caught Mew!

 

[Onikaan]

Guys, can I transfer myself the starter Pokemon through the Bank?

If I start a new game, deposit, restart, etc. Does that work?

 

[Conor_Fool]

If leveling Vulpix to 42 for Fire Spin worth it? I'm at 33 and man does Vulpix suck, haha. I was planning on evolving after Flamethrower at 35 but now I'm having second thoughts

There is no bank support yet, and their wording suggests that it works one way only.

Don't think Bank works with RBY already.

Pokemon Bank transfer is not available yet.
