>using cut in Pallet Town will get you Celebi
not strictly related but the meme of choice among my school in first gen was that those grassy areas outside of the Pallet Town east-west boundaries were actually accessible and that it was called "Bulbasaur's Garden" or "Bills Secret Garden" or some shit like that. There was something to do with being able to catch all the starters there, not to mention some PokeGod fourth evolution bullshit.

Damn, those were the days

its not true for everyone.

Some people's lives don't become good until they move out and get a job. Even then, college is not for everyone either.

Some of my fondest memories was using the internet in 1999 when I was 10 years old and looking up all these cheats for Pokemon red. Gamewinners was my website of choice, but cheatplanet was also acceptable.

It still exists and still looks exactly the same. I'm sure all the same "cheats" from 17 years ago are still there too.

also from the same person

I've seen a lot of people ask that. My hometown growing up had alot of these stone cylinder things at park areas so I naturally just figured that's what it was supposed to be. Looking back I'm not so sure, and I honestly don't know if Game Freak had any clue either but gen 1 was fucking littered with them

At my school it was:
>If you fly away from the Gambler on route 8 just after he spots you to Cerulean City, fight the Youngster on route 25 then fly to Lavender Town and enter route 8 you can encounter a Mew

I was such a gullible child.

fucking hell, can you imagine being a kid and discovering the Mew glitch? Literally none of your friends would believe you after all the bullshit they must've already heard
>>
>there are anons who didn't caught mew in gen1
I pity you.
>>
>>339495704
Are you saying that isn't real?
Because that most certainly is, I caught a level 7 Mew that way in my Yellow version, though I don't think that works in R/G/B

I've heard it all.

If you use strength on the statues in the safari zone outside the house you get surf you can move them and press a switch. This opens a new safari zone area where you can catch pokegod. You have to use a nidoking to push the statue though.
