What was the truck for?
>>339293303
Mew was under it. You had to trade a pokemon with strength on it to push the truck
To hide mew
>>339293303
Mew
>>339293350
>>339293358
>>339293530
>>339293303
Unused asset that ended up not being gamebreaking enough to be deleted from some seemingly impossible to reach area.
>>339293350
What this person said.
>>339293842
What was the asset going to be used for?
>>339293303
My dad works at Nintendo and he said that Mew is under it but you can only get it if you have all the Pokemon before going there the first time and you need to use Cut and Mew is level 200
>>339294078
Could be anything. Just props in a city or actual vehicles moving.

Shit this still gave me hope
It's so fucked up that you believed the lies so much as a kid that this shit still lingers in you and gives a slight hopeful/excited feeling even if someone brings it up now
>>339293350

>>339293681
Read this on Gamefaqs decades ago and believed it.
>>339294559
>he never found mew
I never did believe the Mew rumors, but somehow I was dumb enough to think Pikablue was real.
>>339293350
Fucking fell for it because cousin said so.
>maybe I'm not strengthing it long enough
>>339294951
But he kinda was, mi familia.
>>339294516
Well, it's all thanks to Missingno.
Even all the other stupid shit for other games.
Didn't help that the Mew/Truck thing was even printed in newspapers/tabloids here
>>339295482
>Didn't help that the Mew/Truck thing was even printed in newspapers/tabloids here
Where the fuck do you live?
Has anyone ever modded Red/Blue/Yellow so when you use strength on the truck Mew actually DOES appear?
>>339296273
There are people who have glitched the game to make it so that Mew appears.
The code is so broken in RBY that you can literally ''write your own'' by doing seemingly random combinations of actions.
>>339296273
You can make mew appear via glitch, so what would be the point?
>all the naysayers claiming that Mew isn't actually under the truck
Following simple instructions sure is difficult huh
>>339296273
On some GDQ they reprogrammed the running game with TASbot to do that. There's a video on Youtube.
>>339296273
>>339296562
Was done at AGDQ
>>339296714
Who?
>>339296595
It just would be nice for a Pokemon romhacking that encapsulated all the rumours/glitches that surrounded the old Pokemon games.
Hunting for Mew, Pikablue, and having some sort of quest related to missingno. would be cool.
>>339294951
>Mew rumors
These were true though, at least one of them was

>>339296273
I had one of the dodgy bootleg copies from Malaysia or something. It was a copy of Blue, but the actual cartridge was black.
And if you went to pokemon storage from the very beginning of the game, it was filled with fucking Missingos and at least one Mew. It was kind of ridiculous.
>you never had mew
>fell for yellow meme
>no one to trade pikachu for raichu
My first poke game sure sucked. Should've gotten blue like a sane people.
>>339297113
Mod this Oak Says shit into a romhack.
>>339297113
This was real terror for a nine year old.
>>339295482
The Actual-Code explanation for why missingno happens is so fascinating.
When the game does the Viridian Trainer demo, it has to move his name into the display memory, so it moves yours temporarily to another memory address so it can be retrieved later. Since you're in a town, the "wild pokemon RNG registry" address is vacant, so the game uses that.
Then if you fly to Cinnabar, you can surf on that stretch of land while still being IN Cinnabar, without ever entering a Route that has a wild pokemon registry (this is why that same stretch of land can be used for Safari Zone pokemon capture outside Safari Zone) so the game never writes anything new to the wild pokemon registry memory address.
Since your name is in the address, the game does its best to gather pokemon data using that as the table, but it's invalid, so instead it starts reading memory addresses it shouldn't be reading trying to find the lookup sprite data for the mon and lookup audio data for the cry; that's why the game draws a random assortment of tiles, and the invalid cry overflow (IIRC) is what causes the 6th item slot to duplicate.
That's also why people with certain names can see certain sprites like the fossils or ghost for Missingno, and also why in Blue and Red it tended to have different names ("MissingNo." and "M'" being the data called up when common names like Red/Ash were used vs Blue/Gary were used)
>school vidya rumors will never be a thing again
>you're old now
;_;
>>339297783
it's okay anon
when we're dead, we wont be sad no more
>>339298348
>I will NEVER know what the intended purpose of the truck was
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
>>339293350
>>339299213
is that from GDQ?
>>339299303
Looks like a ROM Hack Twitch Plays Pokemon played, based on the letters on the right
It's funny because the real way to get Mew is much more convoluted and less believable.
>>339299482
wasn't it winning some contest in japan or some shit?
It's not like getting to the truck is difficult, but I still like that someone actually found it legitimately.
>>339299415
I was thinking it was twitch chat on the stream via TASbot
gonna have to check now.
>>339297705
thanks for that anon
>>339299609
You had to do a bunch of shenanigans on Cerulean Bridge and battle a certain trainer and other shit I can't remember
>>339297705
Damn, that is actually really cool and a good way to see how memory works as well.
>>339297783
in fact this will never happen for anyone ever again thanks to global interconnectivity
but cheer up, there are still plenty of mysteries that create rumors, likewho best K-ON is
>>339297783
They're still a thing. My 10 year brother is constantly talking about rumours he heard from kids at school about mine craft and whatnot.
>>339299609
>>339299765
>hit start before the "!" appears above a trainers head
>fly away
>battle some trainer with a Slowpoke on the way to Bill's near Cerulean
>return to the route you escaped the "!"
>Mew appears
I fell for nearly every fake Pokemon trick going as a kid, but even I wouldn't have bothered trying this.
>>339300062
That's easy, it'snone of them because K-ON is shit and only good for porn
>>339300359
>>339300217
But I got it by fighting the first trainer in misty's gym.
Serious question:
How did this rumor spread to school-aged children all over the world?
The internet was not so common when Pokemon Red and Blue came out. It existed, but I doubt any of us used the internet back then. It seems similar to that 8 symbol.
>>339300473
It's based on the Special stat of the last Pokemon you fought, IIRC. Whatever you fought had the same stat as that Slowpoke.
>>339300893
One super cool influential kid came up with it.
And it spread. Kinda like memes. Nobody knows who started it.
>>339299609
Legitimately, yeah, but there's actually a somewhat long glitch that lets you catch him.
>>339300893
No idea, makes it even more spookier how it spread to Northern Europe where nobody fucking lives, like that dumb Slowpoke rumor I took bait.
Now that the internet is used to widely, all of the answers and information is at our finger tips.
Remember the fuck tun of rumors and myths about things that were out there to be found in GTA: San Andreas? I spent hours every day wandering around in the forest trying to find big foot, hours out at sea looking for a sea monster.
Never again will games have that level of fun and mystery. Fucking google.
>>339300893
Simple: it wasn't as common as you think it was. Since it had some basic reason for existing, namely the truck being there for no reason, people theorized about it and with the special nature of Mew meant that it was the focal point of many theories. It sprung up on its own in multiple instances.
However, it wasn't universal. There were multiple theories floating around my school as to the existence of Mew, but the truck wasn't one of them until around Middle School, when people actually did have the internet. The seemingly universal part of it is that once you heard about it later on, it sort of replaced memories of what actually happened. For every time you heard about "mew truck", remember when someone told you that you had to trade surfing pikachu with some trainer that didn't exist, and any other theory that made no sense? Mew Truck was just the most resistant to testing.
>>339301596
>GTA: San Andreas
except early YouTube is literally the main thing that propagated the big foot rumours
>>339293303
I hear if you stand next to it then throw your gameboy out of a moving vehicle going at least 80km/h you get a level 999 Latias
>>339297705
There is also a certain name combination you can use to make lv255 Mewtwos appear on that stretch of land. Not even joking
If somebody actually got Mew would they have literally been the coolest kid in school for forever?
I just can't even imagine what would have happened if someone got him back then
>>339302069
The cousin of this one kid in school had Mew, then we cloned it with the save-reset glitch in Gold/Silver.
He never told us how he got him. Also I traded him my Suicune and the asshole corrupted his game so I lost Suicune forever.
>>339297705
Wow, that is quite fascinating.
>>339300893
There were a lot of variations of it. The one going around my school was that you SPECIFICALLY needed a level 88 Graveller with Strength in its third move slot. No one I knew was seriously autistic enough to try and grind a fucking Graveller that high up.
>>339302589
I think in my case it was a level 100 Machamp, and you had to have defeated the league a ridiculous number of times, like 50 or 100 times.
>>339293350
In my school the tale was "You have to train a Nidoking till lvl100 with rare candys and make him use strenght"I did it
>>339302069
One kid had a gameshark at my school so everyone had Mew.
>>339303290
I don't think there are enough rare candies in the game to level a pokemon to lv 100, unless you abused the Missingno 6th slot glitch.
>>339303694
you could trade casino coins for them.
>>339303993
H-how much time did you spend grinding money from the league or slot machines?
>>339300893
>>339302589
I remember something about an Island and some stone related to a ticket you get from Bill.
>>339304171
Everytime I fire red I get Dratini
>>339302589
>If you beat the pokemon league 100 times you become a member of it
I had this one, attempted it as well, at least I got to the money cap by farming them and well [spoilers]I'm not fucking kidding my alakazam hit level 101, with stat increase and everything but it always shown it's level at 100, I guess it was just a glitch [/spoilers]
>>339304171
My original game had more than 500 hours of playtime.
>>339304751
R/B were glitchy as fuck
The very first time I played my Bulbasaur evolved straight into Venusaur for some reason, it skipped Ivysaur.I deleted that file and started over during Mt. Moon because I decided I wanted to start with Squirtle instead
>>339300062All of em
You heard about that sequel to CCS Sakura's going to be starting in High School so it should be fun to see how see deals with it after what happened with Clow
>>339304751
I've always wondered if Crystal had that same glitch, because I swear on my life I managed to level up my Typhlosion up to 102 after playing it obsessively.
>>339300893
The truck was a totally bizarre asset since it's like, the ONLY overworld sprite that gets used exactly once, and it's there for no reason.
Nothing is there for no reason, so everyone had to make up a reason.
This is the same reason that the spaceship in RSE is the focal point of Deoxys/Jirachi theories
