Mew

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

This isnt really a cheat, but a glitch in the game. You may need to start over to get Mew, but it is worth it.First you need fly, the third gym badge, a Pokemon lv 10ish and a Pokemon with sleep powder. North of cerulian city is a trainer with a lv 17 ish slowpoke, MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT FIGHT HIM, if you do, you can not get Mew also there is a gambler with some water Pokemon left of lavender town, don't fight him either.
Okay, get a flying Pokemon, a Pokemon with an attack with sleep powder or spore, a level 10 ish Pokemon like rattata, and a bunch of pokeballs, preferably great balls or ultra balls. Teach the flying Pokemon fly, then go to the first town you go into in the game with a Pokemon center, talk to the guy who shows you how to catch Pokemon and let him show you. Then fly to lavender town.save your game, then go west of lavender town, avoid the gambler and go right in front of the enrtence to the underground path. Go south and immidiately press the start button then fly to cerulian city, the gambler will see you as you leave. When you arrive in the town, your buttons will not work, don't be alarmed. Simply go north and let the slowpoke trainer see you so that it walks up to you, either that or talk to him, if your game freezes, restart and do the gambler thing a gain then try the other slowpoke trainer method. Defeat him and your buttons will work again. Fly back to lavender town, then go east and save your game at the entrance of the path to the route, when you enter the route, your menu will open, push b to close it (you have to push b or it wont work) When you close the menu, you will hear the traditional music and scene before a battle and after the scene is over you will see a Mew on the screen. Battle it with the lv 10 ish Pokemon you brought and when it is low enough on health, switch to you sleep powder/spore Pokemon and put it to sleep, then chuck great/ultra balls at it untill you catch it, now you have a mew.
This is tested and works, I don't know if it will work for yellow, but I have used it more than enough times for it to be believable. You don't need a game shark or anything, and it shouldn't ruin your game,
P.S. This was written from memory so I'm not sure if it accurate, but I did the glitch from memory, so it should be fine

Getting Magmar and Pinsir in Pokemon Red

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

Ok you guys.... You can get Pinsir and Magmar in Pokemon Red without having to trade from Pokemon Blue. If you do the Mew thing to the most southeast engineer, you will get Magmar. If you do the Mew thing with the Gentleman closest to your Rival on the S.S. Anne, you will get Pinsir. I've been doing it since I found out and got many Pokemon. The gambler closest to Snorlax will give you a Missingno. If you go to the Bug Catcher on Route 6 that is closest to Vermilion City, You will get a Chansey. All of these Pokemon are level 7. I've gotten all of Route 25, Route 6 and Route 8. I accidentally battled the guy so I couldn't finish the S.S Anne area. However, you can't do the cheat on your Rival or any Gym Leader.

Get Missingno-another way

Bogus Report:

Yes we all know that you can catch missingno by talking to the coffee dude in viridian. Now, try this. Go to viridian city, talk to the coffee guy and SAY YES. Watch him catch the weedle. DONT TALK YO HIM AGAIN. FLY to FUSHIA and go south like your going to seafoam islands. GO TO SEAFOAM ISLANDS. Surf up and down THE BEACH. DONT GO PAST THE WHITE THINGS. Eventually, you will run into missingno. KEEP READING. Someone said that if you do missingno this way, ( run or kill him) you will eventually run into WILD MEWTWOS. I tried it and messed up. If you do catch a WILD MEWTWO, EMAIL ME AT yozz33@gmail.com.....thanks.

Bogus Report:

Ok this is something that I tried 1st and it worked
I first found this out on accident that putting any unsellable items 6th in your pack doing the missingno. Cheat and it cloned and got me mad

Anyway if you want more than one aerodactyl or kabuto(or omanyte depending on the fossil you chose) put your fossil 6th in position and do the missingno. Cheat.
With your fossil 6th in your pack then you'll have 130 of it. Go to that doctor in cinnabar, where your so conveniently located, and give him your fossil.
Walk out the door and immediately go back in and do it again and you have you more fossil pkmn! More aerodactyls, kabutops, and/or omastars can be traded or used for an army
Use your imagination you find something

To duplicate items in blue red and yellow you need to be at cinnibar island. If your there talk to the guy that shows you how to catch Pokemon in the begining. Then fly to cinnibar island and use surf. Stay on the edge of island without moving farther into the ocean. Keep going back and forth on the edge and keep pressing a and b untill you find the Pokemon called missingno. Kill it and it will duplicate the seventh item in your bag

get lv 7 nidoqueen, mew and many others

Bogus Report:

Ok so first you need to catch an abra. This can be done on route 8. To the west of nugget bridge theres a kid that says "i say your feat from the grass" don't fight him. With you're abra, right before he sees you, you need to press start and teleport. You should go to cerulean city. Go to the gym and fight the first trainer. Beat him, and walk up negget bridge. Your start menu will pop up. Just press b and you will be in a battle with Mew lv 7. Do the same thing only with any other person you can fight EXCEPT the guy you teleport from, and you should get a bunch of different pokemon. (i did the other trainer in the gym and got staryu and I also have a lv 7 nidoqueen and a cubone and I still havn't gotten to bills house yet.) I'm guessing that if you teleport to any other Pokemon centre, you can fight other trainers and fly to nugget bridge. If the last part doesn't work I'm srry but I'm just assuming.

Missingno

Bogus Report:

Everyone knows that missing no will duplicate one of your items by now , and everyone knows where he is. Well he actualy does 2 things. I noticed a long time ago, that, wherever you were last befor you do the missing no cheat, those are the pokemone that will show up in his area. For example if you are in the safari zone. Then do the missing no cheat. Pokemon like rhyhorn, or nitoking will show up in the water. You may think "so what" well, in the safrari zone you can't use masterballs....well you can anywhere else. This is how I caught a tarous (my very last Pokemon to make all of them) afte ri got him, I went and got my certificate :)

Bogus Report:

Look you need concentration, time, pokeballs , and good pokemon.
First go to route 3 and catch a jigllypuff that has the move sing (very important) and continue your journey normaly until you get to the city with misty as the gym leader. Don't battle the trainer on that cape thing (you know just before you have to surf to get to mewtwo.) catch a abra that knows teleport (every abra does) with a jigglypuffs sing and there is a high catch rate. After catching the Pokemon save and go infront of that trainer I mentioned. Just before he can walk up to you press start and use teleport. Your start button will be disfunctioned and walk balk on to that route and Mew will appear. His level varies from 7-10.

Encountering Multiple ‘Mews’ On Pokemon Red

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

I. Materials

- Calcium
- Rare Candies
- Low Level Pokemon
- Max Repel
- Pokemon With Fly
- Pokemon With Cut
- Access To Fuchsia
- Access To Lavender

II. What To Do With Your Low Level Pokemon:

- Take the rare candies and level it up (make sure that it's special is under 21.) Then use the calcium to get it's special up to exactly 21. That is the standard decimal number for 15 in the hexadecimal system used by this game. 15 is the number that determines what species the Pokemon is. In this case, the number 15 represents Mew.

III. Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Fly to Lavender Town.

2. Go left into Route 8 and stand in front of the door to the entrance of the underground tunnel connecting Celadon City and Lavender Town (don’t fight the gambler who is standing in front of it.)

3. Save your game, just in case.

4. Make sure that your Pokemon with a special of 21 isn’t in the first place of your party. You don’t want him leveling up on accident.

5. Use a max repel.

6. Make sure that you are directly under the door in alignment with the gambler below.

7. Walk down one step and press the ‘pause’ button before the gambler sees you.

8. Go to ‘Pokemon’ and select your Pokemon that knows fly and fly to Fuchsia.

9. The exclamation point will appear above the gambler’s head as if he has seen you and you will fly away.

10. Now you won’t be able to pause the game because the game thinks that the battle is still going on back at Route 8.

11. Now head out of Fuchsia towards Route 15.

12. Stay in the top layer of grass the whole time and don’t get into any trainer fights yet. While you are walking through the grass, the max repel is making it to where you cannot get into any fights.

13. Head all the way over to Route 14 and make sure that you go inside the left side of the trees.

14. Travel up until you get to 2 bikers facing right and a patch of grass that you have to cut a tree down in order to get to.

15. Fight one of the bikers (this will work with any trainer you want) and make sure that they have to move in order to get to you.

16. Defeat the trainer and now you will be able to pause.

17. ‘Pause’ your game and switch the Pokemon with a special of 21 as the first Pokemon in your party.

18. Use ‘cut’ on the tree and enter the grass area.

19. Walk around and in a short while you will find a ditto (you will only find a ditto because the effects of max repel make it to where you can only find rare pokemon. Ditto is the only rare Pokemon around Route 14.)

20. Attack it with your Pokemon with 21 special and it will use transform and copy your stats including special.

21. Run away from the ditto and immediately fly back to Lavender Town.

22. Go left into Route 8 again and right when you cross the border between Lavender and Route 8, the game will automatically pause, press ‘B’ to un-pause the game and it will automatically go into a battle in which a Level 7 Mew will appear. You will be able to repeat this multiple times to get as many Mews as you want.

Great start

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

This isn't really a cheat, but it's a great way to start a new game. All you need is a link cable and two people who want to start a new game.

First, both people start a new game.One picks Squirtle while the other picks Charmander. They both play until they can buy poke balls and catch pokemon. One catches one Pokemon while the person with Squirtle catches four. Then, they go to a town center where the person trades Charmander for one of the four Pokemon caught by the other one. The person with two bad Pokemon starts a new game. He takes Bulbasaur, plays until he can catch Pokemon and trades it for a second Pokemon caught by the other player. The player with two bad Pokemon starts a new game again. Do this until the player has 2 charmanders, 2 sqirtles and one bulbasaur. The player with two bad Pokemon starts a new game again and takes bulbasaur. He then catches TWO Pokemon and trades them for charmander and sqirtle. In the end, both players are left with all three beginner pokemon.

WARNING: THIS MAY CAUSE SOME OF YOUR POKEMON TO DISSOBEY YOU.
