I forgot to mention this in the video but while the glitch used in Viridian Forest before Brock is still usable in Red and Blue, results may vary because the Jr. Trainer in Pewter Gym has a slightly different team and there's no long range trainer in Viridian Forest, requiring some alternate methods to set up the glitch, like whiting out to a wild Pokémon encountered on a tile directly next to a trainer who would normally battle the player. Whiting out to poison directly next to a trainer is also a possible method. Again, lots of different applications for this trick and lots of ways to set it up, so I hope this video was helpful!
The variety of Pokemon you can get is quite good. You can get some pretty exotic stuff though low catch rates on some of the Pokemon are really painful.
I didn't know the trainer in Misty's gym could be used for the Mew glitch, I only knew you could do it by beating the trainer with the lvl 17 Slowpoke on route 25. Very cool!
I saw a video with a gen 2 glitch which allowed arbitrary code execution using the computer, I think that's got to rank pretty highly in terms of "most exploitable glitches"
True, but I do think ACE is a whole separate beast entirely. At that point it's less just a glitch and more using an exploit to rewrite the code of the game itself, which is insane how people managed to learn it. I used it once before to get a Celebi in Gold, actually! Very fun exploit, might make a video on that one day.
Theoretically, if you have a gen 2 game, you could combine this glitch with the shiny ditto glitch and have a guaranteed shiny Mew. Since that glitch uses Transform, and Mew and Ditto are the only pokemon with the move
I've played around with this before, and it's fun bending the game to your will like this. I realized you could also get Ditto to transform into something with a raised attack to get higher level Pokemon to spawn. Mew learns transform at level 10. My idea was to use the transform glitch you can pull to force shiny Ditto to force a shiny Mew. Sadly, if you catch a transformed mon, the game will automatically assume it's a Ditto, so I walked out with a shiny Ditto. If anyone knows a way to untransform a Pokemon (while keeping its transformed DV's) there may be an easy bake method for getting shiny Mew.
Getting Mew prior to the Misty battle kind of trivializes the game. It's already super strong for the point in the game you get it, it doesn't drop off and I can't even think of a bad match-up that it has from that point onwards. Adding Exp underflow glitch to it makes it even easier but with how Gen 1 leveling works (level skipping and if you skip a level you'd learn a move at, you miss out on said move), you can potentially be stuck with pretty bad movesets. Though thankfully TMs exist.
Yeah I just figured showing off the glitch at that specific point was best since it's easiest (IMO) to do it then, I probably should have mentioned it in the video but that's a good point about underflow, Gengar thankfully has Night Shade but not everything has a good movepool to start off, though I left that stuff out since it was only tangentially related, still very worth anyone else reading the comments here to know, so good to point out nonetheless!
In Pokémon Yellow, there is a long range Rocket in one sub-level of Mt. Moon. Using scape rope and fighting another trainer in the previous route (I do not remember who), I got a Lickitung. I ignore if it works in Red/Blue.
There’s so many fun exploits with this glitch! Recently Scott’s Thought’s did a challenge where he had people back port Smeargle into Yellow & I used this to get Thrash as my second sketch!
Also, you can get Mew as early as Mt. Moon! The trainer with only a Clefairy when you first walk in there has a Special of 21, so if you have an Escape Rope & are open to backtracking to Viridian Forest, you can spawn Mew just a smidge earlier.
Came here from your Field Moves video, I had no idea that was only the third video on your channel. Your vids are super well-produced for someone just starting out! Subbed, stoked to see where you go from here
Thank you! I do have some prior experience with very minimally edited content but I've been growing rapidly recently and my passion to keep getting better at video editing as well as Pokémon led me to make this channel!
@@AzureFlute The Prof.Oak Battle Was In The Beta Versions,The Silph Trial,Where You Fight Some Trainers,Including Silph Co.'s Chief,All The Gym Leaders Again(With Level 45 -50 Pokemon,The First Instance Of Gym Leader Rematches In The Franchise)And Finally The Superboss Prof.Oak,In Order To Catch Mewtwo!Fun Fact!
Nice one! That was so interesting!! I'll definitely be giving this a go :D I wonder if there was anyone who actually stumbled upon any of this stuff by accident when genuinely playing the game, I bet it would have blown their minds :D
I did the same glitch with a different trainer to get Mew. I used that glitch since pkmn Red. Sadly in my Yellow version on the 3DS, it doesent allow me to transfer it to Pkmn Bank.
Yeah unfortunately the only Mew that can be transferred to Bank are Mew with the GF OT since those were the event Mew, other Mew will get flagged as unable to be brought up
That's when other glitches come to the rescue. Thankfully, you can set up RAM in such a way that you can use a glitch item to cuase the game to write the proper ID and OT to the Mew, and Bank will happily accept it.
You can also get Nidoqueen, Parasect, Dragonite, Arcanine, Scyther, Elecabuzz, Growlithe, Chansey, Missingno, Blastoise, Gengar, and others. Some are repeats.
Oh this glitch, it's absolutely awesome, but I always thought if you knew what you were doing you could get a level 1 Mew. Pair that with the item/experience underflow glitch and then repeat for a team consisting of a LVL 100 Nidoking and LVL 100 Mew. I mean if some kid walked into my gym and sent either of those out I'd just surrender and hand over the badge without a fight. I know when I'm done for
Pokemon Red: I used the Long-Range Trainer at Nugget Bridge before to get Mew and it worked just fine. Now I want to use the same trainer again for glitching but somehow I fail. The fly away and exclamation point works. I battle a wild pokemon on a different route and then come back to the nugget bridge but no pop up of start/pause menu. The buttons are broken "forever". After restarting everything works again but no chance to use the glitch.
Good catch! The second trainer used to turn the controls back on for the Oak glitch doesn't matter, but I had forgotten I used that. Consider it an Easter egg!
Results might vary, I haven't tried it on every route you can do it with, but this is actually a common way to get Mew! Instead of using the trainer in Misty's Gym there is a Youngster up past Nugget Bridge on Route 25 with a Slowpoke, and they can be used to store the same 21 Special stat needed for Mew. You just need to turn around and go back to Cerulean after.
It's called arbitrary code execution. You are writing code into the game. This is why it's easy to corrupt the game if you don't understand exactly what you're writing
Yeah, I understand ACE a bit, though this is a trick that doesn't really require the average player to know what ACE is, and found it would be much more digestible to an average viewer to disregard it for the purposes of the video. ACE is pretty crazy though, and I used it in Gold to do the Celebi egg trick myself. It's really useful as long as it's done properly!

Yup that's another option of course! Misty's Gym was what I just chose to use, but I have used the Youngster before as well!
Yep, I catch one for an HM slave that I level to 100 from growling the trainer then one I keep at whatever level I encounter it at just to store
You can also Get Mew at Cerulean if you utilize the Youngster north of Nugget Bridge with a lone Slowpoke.
Yeah I've used that one before as well, there's a lot of different methods you can use!
Ahh the start of a PokeTuber. Im all for it! Good luck! Ive enjoyed your vids so far. Keep it up!

@@AzureFlute yeah ACE is pretty wild isn't it, would love to see a video on it! Thanks for this video also
Finally, someone who explained the Ditto glitch in a more easier way to understand, I thank you for this
Thank you! And thank you for watching!
Of course!

Level 100 Nidoking before Brock was always my favorite forced spawn in on Yellow. Just a massive early game crusher of a mon.

You can also screencap your phone using an emulator to get footage. Awesome videos btw
With the mew glitch I always thought you needed to battle a Slowpoke not a Shellder
Theoretically you could battle with any pokemon, as long as the pokemon has 21 in special status.
Man, thank you for highlighting on these glitches. Keep em coming ❤

Nice one! That was so interesting!! I'll definitely be giving this a go :D
I wonder if there was anyone who actually stumbled upon any of this stuff by accident when genuinely playing the game, I bet it would have blown their minds :D
If I remember right the basic glitch used to get Mew was first discovered in 2003 and you gotta wonder how they found it and what their reactions were
You can also walk into a pokemon center and switch pokemon boxes, then reset to unlock your controls (and make the game think you aren't in a battle).
I did the same glitch with a different trainer to get Mew.
I used that glitch since pkmn Red.
Sadly in my Yellow version on the 3DS, it doesent allow me to transfer it to Pkmn Bank.
Yeah unfortunately the only Mew that can be transferred to Bank are Mew with the GF OT since those were the event Mew, other Mew will get flagged as unable to be brought up

It seems even for the Ditto Glitch you need to really battle a trainer in between to make it work.
Setting up the Oak fight... isn't that second trainer you fight also long-range? Looks like he was at the edge of the screen when he saw you.
Good catch! The second trainer used to turn the controls back on for the Oak glitch doesn't matter, but I had forgotten I used that. Consider it an Easter egg!
@@AzureFlute I meant that you can also use him as another LRT to set up Trainer Fly, since you didn't mention him in the earlier section.
Could you growl the slowpoke/shelldon to lower the mew level to allow easier catching?
GENGARRRRR🤜🏻🤛🏻
can you escape rope for one guy on the path then leave the path and come back into the path to fight a trainer on that path?
Results might vary, I haven't tried it on every route you can do it with, but this is actually a common way to get Mew! Instead of using the trainer in Misty's Gym there is a Youngster up past Nugget Bridge on Route 25 with a Slowpoke, and they can be used to store the same 21 Special stat needed for Mew.

1 time I tried to get a level 100 nindoking cuz a different poke tuber showed me so I did all of the steps but I got a slow bro instead
11:10 I was once trying to get level 100 mew and i messed it up and it grew only to level 2. I know why it did that
Can you use the same trainer for for multiplayer glitch in the same game?
If you use growl on the trainer pokemon, then mew will be a lower level.
It's called arbitrary code execution.
You are writing code into the game.
This is why it's easy to corrupt the game if you don't understand exactly what you're writing
