The worst and the best old pokemon 1st gen rumors

hi! my first 1 is that someone told me yoshi was in the games
 
lol yoshi?

i hated those rumors are about catching mew without gameshark and glitches, etc...like some in-game feature. i tried a lot of crazy stuff to try and catch mew. there was the one about the truck and one that you had to defeat the elite four exactly 30 times (though i realize now that wasn't a lot) and talk to prof. oak. then there was the one that you had to collect all 150 pokemon and get mew from either oak or the director guy where you get eevee. and there was also the one that you not only had to collect all 150 pokemon, but raise them all to level 100 (that included de-evolutions, so you would need a level 100 charmander, level 100 charmeleon, and level 100 charizard, etc.). pain. in. the. buttocks.
 
another 1 i heard was the healing raichu.

the rumor said that if your pokemon faint and you have a raichu with you, that the raichu will use its electricity to heal your team
 
that Yoshi thing actually happens lol, I've seen a friend of mine do it and my cousin get it!! but it's not Yoshi, it's a glitch!! you surf to some spot and the game glitches and it looks like a glitched Yoshi lol it has a Japanese blurry name and random stuff for it's levels!! it's kool lookin!!
 
I remember the Mew rumor involving the truck (the version I heard was more along the lines of if you use strength on the truck, you can push it away to reveal a Pokeball with Mew in it). Reset my Blue game to try it out.
>_< Didn't work, of course.
 
here is a way to get the Yoshi glitch!!
Get MissingNo.
Warning! Catch missingno in the red version may delete your old game and prevent you from saving any other games.

To get MissingNo (a glitch) go to Cinnabar Island and go into the Pokémon Research Labratory and trade with anyone in the first room. Then leave the Lab and go to the EAST of Cinnabar Island and surf up and down on the part where the land meets the water. Eventually the battle screen will come up and the screen goes black for about 5 seconds.

Once you find him I suggest you use a Level 30 to 40 Pokemon. This is because Missing No., even at Lv. 80, has a VERY low defense rating. So get him down pretty low. Even at low he is still extremely difficult to catch. So next get a Pokemon that knows a sleep move and put him to sleep. Follow this up with a couple Ultra Balls and you should have him.

NOTE: Catching MissingNo. may cause minor glitches. Also note that if he evolves (i.e., by receiving a Rare Candy) he will turn into a Khangiskahn.
 
I was told if you look at Bill's Eevee 50 times, he'll give you a "Pikablu"

And of course, I heard about the truck rumour and tried it out... I even gave my Mewtwo "strength" to do it!
 
i remember that i got R/B/Y from my cousin and on his yellow, he had a glitched lv 164 golbat which would go DOWN a level for every rare candy you would give it

or was that just my imagination? =P
 
i do know an old one that if you beat the E4 [insert number here] times and then did something stupid and talked to oak you'd get a mew from him.
 
I remember a kid told me that If I collected all 151 pokemon I could go to Cloud City and get a Togepi.
 
Something about beating the Elite Four 125 times allowing you to go to Johto. It was a newer rumor but probably the best :p

When someone said that Mew has an evolution. it was the worst, I think.
 
The best rumour was that in Pokemon Green you got Mew when you completed the pokedex. It was the best, simply because it was so widely believed that it was passed off as fact by official sources as well as just fans.

The worst were the pokegods, and how to get them. Back when GSC was only just rearing it's head I was looking for pages on pokegods for a fic (which sucked) and I came across a treasure trove of nonsense, including Pikablu, Pikabud and Pikaflare (Pikachu family), Charcolt, Foresaur and Rainer (evos of the starts final forms), A Mist Stone that you get from stepping on every single square in Dark Cave, evolutions for Snorlax (Momo), Porygon (Chrysalid), the list goes on.

Yeah, i remember the poke gods rumor mill.
Any one remember "bills secret garden"
The place you could catch togapi?
Later turns out all it was was a glitch where you could swin a spot...
Not even any pokemon appear there. back in the good old days..
 
PokeGods rumor was probably the worst. I actually believed it so did most of my friends. Pikablu was also popular. I believe that was the fan name for Marill right?
 
Yeah i just loved the one with mew in that truck, at vermillion city bay. I really thought it was true =(. I also got told that if you won the pokemon league 100 times you'd get a mew, i stopped 57 =/.
 
I've heard Bills secret garden where you can catch Togepi. Using a lvl 100 Machamp to move that truck and get a Mew. Pikablue. I think the rumors were a great part of the first games. Something all the games after sort of lacked.
