As you probably know, I'm into the weird side of Pokemon and I like to investigate about old generation glitches and obscure mechanics. So the other day I was browsing information about the Mew glitch just for curiosity and it baffled me that despite being one of the most infamous glitches I couldn't find any solid information about exactly why it works, just pretty much the same step by step tutorials over and over.
So I thought, why not? Feel free to consider this as a part two of my "MissingNo explained" article, where I will also be analyzing the game's code to find out the hidden details of one of the most infamous Pokemon glitches!
I had admittedly never tried the glitch before this so I picked up this guide as a reference: https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~jdonald/pokemon/mewglitch.html
There are other alternatives on how to perform it (for example, a different long-range trainer), but the principle and the explanation is the same.
A more simplified step by step guide of the Mew Glitch can also be found in Smogon: http://www.smogon.com/ingame/misc/rby_tips#mew
There's also this related thread: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/mew-glitch-extended-obtain-any-pokemon.53104/
In the video below, I divided the whole Mew Glitch in 5 steps and explained each one separately. Although I'm aware that some information is inevitably bit too technical (RAM addresses and such), I tried my best to make it as easy to understand for everyone. So that's all, and hopefully you enjoy it!
