Living in Japan with an American 3DS, I tried to redeem the 7-11 legendary distributions but I kept getting a message saying my "3DS" wasn't able to receive it.
Wait, does that mean a Mew-glitched Pikachu would also follow you? Does it copy over its happiness stat? How would the game cope with two Pikachu in your party at once?
It does follow you, yes. It will also refuse to evolve with a Thunder stone, because it shares your trainer ID. With two Pikachu in your party at once, I think it's the one that comes first in your party that follows you. You can use the "Q glitch" though to get it to evolve into Raichu (as explained by the video).
You can also evolve other Pikachu into Raichu if they are traded into your game from another file.
The only Pikachu that will follow you is the one that matches your ID, it's possible to trade a Pikachu from Red or Blue and have it match your ID(though not likely), and of that was the case it would follow you too, though I believe your original Pikachu has to be boxed or possibly even released. If you use the Mew glitch to generate a different Pikachu I'm thinking that it should be the same as you trading for one, you have a slight chance of getting one that matches your ID but I think you'll probably just get a normal Pikachu. Not a hundred percent sure on that though, Yellow might not have Wild Pikachu's programmed in it that won't match your ID. There's only one way to know for sure, try it out and see what happens.
Edit: ^well there you go, interesting. Guess they didn't program true wild Pikachu into Yellow.
I'm in for Pokemon Primeape version.
Can't wait to have those old TMs again like BODY SLAMand softboiled.
I've still got my Pokemon Master Guide laying around so I may bust it out for those Oak tips...
Masterball on a Tentacruel lol
I'm having a lot of fun with Yellow! Just beat Surge and got Squirtle from Officer Jenny. I need a good water type, so he's on the team for now.
In all honesty I want to replace most of those when better options become available, though. Pidgeotto is absolutely terrible with Quick Attack still being his best move. Mankey is cool, but I've used it so many times in Kanto playthroughs over the years that it's a bit of a boring choice at this point. I'm going to persevere with the Pikachu though. I think Bellsprout will be a mainstay as well, as I adored Victreebel when I was a kid, and while I don't like it as much these days - what better way to rebuild some fondness for an old favourite?
I was tempted to use the gift Charmander, but decided to save it for my Red playthrough. I'm visiting a friend in a few months (who is also playing Yellow at the moment) and he wants us to play through our original versions together, so he'll be playing Blue. That means we should be able to get most of the exclusives too, and I really want to complete my Pokedex here and transfer it into Moon to replace my Kanto living dex.

Just beat the Elite 4. This was my team:
Chansey swept Gary and Lance with Ice Beam and Minimize.
That is like the rarest possible team in the game
Well done
Er, every pokemon you catch ingame will match your ID? That's the point of the ID, to identify that you caught it. Unless we're thinking of two different things.

Just need to add in a Scyther/Pinsir to make the overall team rarity rating max out. :O
I just cannot get this Mew glitch to trigger! Someone please tell me where I'm screwing up:
1. I fly to cerulean right before the ! pops up above the Gambler's head east of Celadon
2. I walk up nugget bridge and go fight the youngster with the Slowpoke, ensuring I approach it from the top of the screen so he has to walk up to me, and then defeat him
3. I walk back down nugget bridge
Isn't the pause menu supposed to automatically open at step 3? Because it doesn't, meaning the Mew battle is a no-go
Feels bad man

And at long last, after reaching Fuchsia and the Safari Zone, I have completed my team. I managed to get Scyther on the first Safari Ball I threw, and he was like the fourth Pokemon I ran into on my first trip, which is far from what I was expecting. Scyther with Slash crits every time without fail, which is insane. Still having a blast.
This is my team as I prepare to challenge Koga.
Wartortle Lv. 34
Nidoking Lv. 33
Hitmonlee Lv. 35
Marowak Lv. 32
Snorlax Lv. 32
Scyther Lv. 32

You have to go back to the route with the Gambler on it for your start menu to pop up again. The reason why most in this thread are saying to go back to Nugget Bridge is because the trainer they were fleeing from is that kid in the grass to the left of the bridge. You have to return to the route where the trainer you fled from is.
Feels bad man
Don't do the fly thing, just use the guy next to nugget bridge in the grass.
Oh, awesome! So if I just fly back to Celadon and start walking toward the gambler, it should work? Do I have to battle him?
will you be bale the fly without the menu? you will probably have to walk back to him
Yeah, just enter the route, from either side, and your menu will pop up. There's no need to battle the gambler, so you can continually use him to glitch Pokemon.
I actually don't remember if you can fly by that point (after battling the Youngster), though I'm like 90% certain you can.

Added Vaporeon to my Yellow team
Lost to Koga because Venomoth is level 50 and hax crit and evaded everything. Finally said fuck it and just had Hypno wreck the entire gym.
At that point in the game where you can literally clear out like 5 routes full of trainers and the Silph building before fighting Sabrina.

Well just beat Giovanni in Silph so moving on to Sabrina.
I'm using all three starters for my first party and after that I'll train my real team after the Elite Four.

You can just faint. The glitch works off of the Special stat of the last Pokemon you saw in battle; you don't actually have to win the fight.
Awesome going to try it when I get home
Odd, I have vent from what I considered way under leveled after finishing the third gym to over leveled for the Rocket hideout, and I have avoided wild pokemon battles (except for when going trough the Rock Tunnel). Is that supposed to happen? Should I expect the level curve to drop out under my feet at any moment?
Just made it through Rock Tunnel, and then rushed through some areas to get to the Fighting Dojo in Saffron, because I wanted Hitmonlee ASAP. They were much higher leveled, but my Lv26-28 team managed to take the Master out. Pikachu's Thunderbolt did work. Now to go back and fight all the trainers I skipped lol.
Replaced Pidgeotto with Doduo. Replaced Mankey with Hitmonlee.
Evolved Nidorino at Lv23 to get Thrash on Nidoking. I'm keeping Bellsprout unevolved for now so I can get Razor Leaf faster.
Pretty happy with the team now, although I have my mind set on swapping someone out a little later on.

Playing Yellow.
Just wrecked Silph Co floor by floor and about to head to either Sabrina's Gym or Cinnabar Island for my 6th badge.
Current Squad:
Dragonair lvl 33
Mew lvl 33
Kadabra lvl 41
Charizard lvl 38
Blastoise lvl 37
Zapdos lvl 50 (going to swap him for Jolteon eventually lol but it's a nice hit sponge)
Also have Nidoking lvl 34, Snorlax lvl 32, Bulbasaur lvl 10, and about five more Dratini in storage. Was farming them in safari zone this morning. Planning on importing to Moon and Sun so I can start training them early. I always need one on my team and have to spend extra time training them specifically near the midpoint/end of badges. And I'm prob gonna just import Bulbasaur into Moon and Sun too.
I really hope they give is GSC next. I want them all. Collecting the Japanese Retro boxes too. Order Yellow, Red, and Blue. Going to order Green soon. I want the GSC retro boxes too!

I have surf with my Blastoise. Should be pretty simple to depart from Fuschia.
I was thinking you needed Sabrina's badge to Surf, got it mixed up with Koga's. >.<

If you're going to have a friend and both start Red and Blue at the same time, you can just have one person start a game, pick a starter, trade it to the other player once you're able to trade, start a new game, pick a different starter, trade, and repeat that cycle until both of you have 3 of each. You just have to designate one person as the "reseter" and have the other person catch a bunch of Pidgey and Rattata to trade.
Then you can use yellow Charmander however you want.

Good lord, Mews catch rate is ridiculous. I'm on my 3rd attempt of catching it with 13 Pokeballs and it's PAR and at as low health i can safely get it

Just bought Yellow version. Nostalgia hype!!
I caught it on my second ball. Maybe you could try to get it asleep.
Fly is better than Gust anyway.

Pokemon Tower?
Man, I didn't enjoy that. One thing Pokemon games do better these day is trainer variety. I get it's a ghost section, but man was that annoying.

It took me three I think. I'm not even sure I paralyzed it or used sleep powder. Just knocked his hp to the red zone. I was definitely lucky.
Sleep is probably more effective since it can't fight back.

If you submitted the request on Friday, then I'm afraid to inform you that it goes by business days.
I used to help field those requests, so...yeah.
Yeah I know. Unfortunately I thought when you formatted the NN3DS and it unlinks the NNID, I didn't know that it meant you still could only relink it to that same device unless you did a complete transfer.
I really can't wait until Nintendo is officially off of these convoluted account policies.
