Mew glitch. Defeat nugget bridge, DO NOT ENCOUNTER THE TRAINER LOOKING NORTH ON THE GRASS WHERE ABRA SPAWNS, catch an Abra, be sure to visit the pokemon center in cerulean city before this next part. Line up directly north of the trainer by the Abra spawn, just one block out of his line of sight. Press down and start at the same time. If you did it right, the start menu opens and the trainer is visible in the bottom of the screen. Use teleport on Abra, returning to cerulean city. Go into the gym, defeat the first swimmer, then return to nugget bridge. Upon entering the route, a battle should start and that’ll be your mew. Catch it.
The best part about this glitch is that all the silly steps make the instructions seem like every other fake, made up tutorial (I spent countless hours trying and failing to unlock Sonic & Tails in Smash Bros Melee back in the day), except this time it’s actually real.
That’s the easy way. You can force any pokemon to spawn with a combination of flying/teleporting away the frame a battle triggers and a mon with the right stats vs wild Ditto.
My sister 151’d Blue without trading by spawning starters, all the Red mons, etc.
It’s real, but it’s yet another gen1 memory corruption glitch that reliably overwrites the Pokémon encounter table if you do it exactly right. If you search for “Mew glitch” you’ll find a bunch of videos on it. It involves some very precise steps and specific battles on that one bridge where you get a golden nugget, IIRC.

That’s one way to do it.
An alternate way is the ‘missingno’ glitch on Cinnabar Island. The exact species of pokemon that can be found there depends on what you set your player name to be. Most of the time, it’s corrupted and just gives you a glitched-out ‘missingno’, but if you select just the right character name, you can cause it to be any pokemon you choose. With the correct player name, that pokemon can be Mew.
Eh, hall of fame data has never been a big deal to me… Anyway, the best use of this is to catch a Mew, then trade that Mew to a fresh, un-glitched game.
I don’t recall it exactly but its something along the lines of lose a battle to a particular slowpoke, travel to that patch of grass next to nugget bridge and use the escape rope or teleport trick when starting the battle with the trainer there, head to lavander town and head west. Once you leave the city you run into a wild Mew.
There is a real glitch, but it had nothing to do with that truck. I outlined it in a nearby comment. The trick is actually abusing a trainer battle script defect related to how opening dialogue boxes were stored in memory. Essentially manipulating the value to select any pokemon we want based on special values (you could use the glitch to get any pokemon, but mew is obviously the highest value target)
Imagine getting pissy because someone doesn’t have instructions to perform a video game feat they did over a decade ago, just because you demanded it. You have all the same info I do on how to find it.
You CAN actually catch Mew in the original Blue and Red. It’s similar to the item duplication glitch.
I went back years later and was able to do it myself after I read it wasn’t just some urban legend.
Missingno
Except not missingno, actual Mew
Care to share?
Other then the poke event thing I only knew about the missingno item dupe/pokemon transformation glitch.

I believe the Nugget Bridge method doesn’t have the nasty side effects Missingo has (like corrupting your Hall of Fame data).

You could look it up just as easily as I could. I don’t have it memorized
Lmao what a fucking dickhead.
Ya he sucks ass, I have him tagged in poo brown from a long while ago and the tag has never proved itself wrong
Lol he is just spreading the myth. Nothing happens when you try to move it. I think FR/LG there is a rare candy there?

It’s not the truck, but Mew is real. It’s another swimming along an edge thing but in a different spot than missingno
