The worst and the best old pokemon 1st gen rumors

I hate the one where they said right when you start the game, you can catch any of the three starters in the grass before you travel anywhere. It was really irritating.
Hogosniff
 
i hated the whole mew behinde the little truck i tryed like 10 tumes and it never came lol
 
I didn't really know of many rumours. But the best IMO is the Mew Truck, though I was smart enough not to try it. I win.
 
I don't hate all of the 1st Gen rumors. The best rumor I've heard is the truck which has a Mew inside it.
 
I was told that people have Pokemon over level 100, like level 151 or something.
 
The most annoying rumour I came across (and actually tried!) was one where you supposedly used the Itemfinder 100 times in Mt. Moon after beating the Elite 4 with a Chansey in your party, and you'd get a Togepi. I also remember the Pokegod talk and the many Bill's Secret Garden and Oak/Mother battle rumours.

I never did try the Mew under the truck rumour thankfully, although I did visit the truck a couple of times for fun. I'm just delighted that an unorthodox way of getting one was finally found.
 
I was told once that after you get the diploma and fight the elite four like 100 x in a row Prof Oak gives you a secret Hm "Smash" (Which is surprisingly similar to Rock Smash even though gen 2 wasn't out yet). With that move you could smash through the wall and get to that small 2-space wide clearing behind Bills house, where supposedly a Mew was waiting like Eevee does in the mansion
 
I also heard that in yellow, since you need to walk 2 spaces into grass before Oak shows up, that if you wander in the 1 space path for long enough, you can find super-strong and rare pokemon and catch them Safari-zone style. Wasted like an hour on that one.
 
Ah, man, the rumors easily contain some of my fondest memories of the older games. It seemed like there were kids who would come up with these weekly and tell all the kids about it, and we'd all run around like madmen in our games trying to see if there was any validity to their saying.

Unfortunately, I can't remember much of what was spread back then. I certainly didn't hear any of this Pikablu or PokeGod nonsense until I hit the internet a few years back though. =P

Although, I do remember the Truck thing. I felt so elated when I saw that Truck, and I was surfing over to it. I actually felt that one of the rumors was true; my heart was skipping beats. I went to the truck, used Strength and....disappointment ensued. (Thankfully I found the "Mew Glitch" online a few weeks later and was brought out of the disappointment.)
 
The only ones i came across was the 'Mew under the truck' if you surf around the SS.Anne and the apparent Yoshi in the Unown Dungeon.
 
The most annoying one ever that my friend told me was that if you beat the elite 4 72 times and then lost against Agatha on the 73rd try, then you talked to every person on the game twice, and then Oak would give you a key to the attic in Cinnabar mansion, and in there was a pokeball with Mew in it that reappeared every time you went into the room. Little did I know, was that after about 200 hours of playing, my cartridge screwed up and there wen 68 wins in the elite 4
 
Oh yeah, the Togepi rumour. I spent hours on that, but I cant remember it...So long ago.
 
I only remember a rumor stating that if you cut all the grass in the safari zone with a scyther all the pokemon will emerge and surround you.
 
The "Mew is under the truck in Vermillion" story I heard a lot, but that's the common rumor.

Another one I heard was that if you pressed Up and A at the exact same moment it'll act like a Masterball and you'll catch any Pokemon without any problems.

Someone also told me once that they had Togepi in their game. I didn't believe them and wasn't surprised at all when they didn't have any proof to back up their story.
