Many of us, when we first played Pokémon, started when we were little kids, so of course we would believe any silly rumour that floated around. Some (in)famous ones were:
Did you believe any rumours about the Pokémon games when you were a kid, or were you wise enough to see them for what they were - just rumours?
- Mew being under the truck at the pier where the S.S. Anne docks.
(Of course, in FR/LG, there was just a plain old Lava Cookie hiding under there, so GF trolled us. )
- The S.S. Anne would come back after a year in real time.
- Defeating the Elite Four 365 times would make the S.S. Anne return.
- You could fight Professor Oak after becoming Champion (this was true, at least in the beta, I think).
- Defeating Brock and Misty at their Gyms would make them follow you, a la the anime.
- The mysterious white rock near Mossdeep Space Centre hid Jirachi.
- You could fly into space after the rocket at Mossdeep reached 100 successful launches (again, this is half true in OR/AS, where you fly on Rayquaza into space to fight Deoxys).
- Marill was Pikablu in disguise.
- You could catch Togepi and Marill in Red/Blue/Yellow by doing some really long and tedious task (like defeating the Elite 4 a ridiculous number of times or something).
- Bill had a secret garden at the back of his cottage where you could catch rare Pokémon, and maybe even some of the so-called "PokéGods".
