[edit] HOW TO GET MEW IN POKéMON RED/BLUE
From http://cheats.ign.com/ob2/068/009/009846.html
Pokemon Red Only Way To Get Mew #2 Apparently, catching a Mew is no longer bee-ess. This glitch has been verified by IGN Pokemon Board Mods, so you know.
Restart your game and play until you get HM02 Fly from the house west of Celadon City (or just beat the third gym and get the badge that lets you use fly out of battle and trade pokemon that know fly to the new game).
IMPORTANT!!: DO NOT fight the following trainers: The Youngster with a Slowpoke (level 17) on the road to Bill's house(Route 25). He is the fourth trainer after you cross Nugget Bridge, standing directly above a female trainer and facing north. The Gambler with two poliwags and a poliwhirl (all level 22) between Lavender Town and Saffron City (Route 8). He is standing just east of the entrance to Saffron City, facing north toward the door of the Underground Path. Care fully follow the series of steps illustrated below...
Make sure you have a pokemon that knows FLY. Make sure you have a level 5 or 6 pokemon and a pokemon that knows SLEEP on your team. Stock up with pokeballs (Great Balls work the best). Now Save your game before you enter Route 8 since saving after this point will disrupt the procedure.
On Route 8, stand in front of the door of the Underground Path (don't let the gambler see you or you will need to restart where you last saved). Walk down one step and IMMEDIATELY press start. If you succeed, the menu will pop up before the Gambler "sees" you. Go to the Pokemon list and fly to Cerulean City. The Gambler will see you just before you fly away. Your Start button will no longer function. Go north across Nugget Bridge and head east until you find the Youngster described above.
If you walk right up to the Youngster, the game will lock up, so you'll have to let him see you and walk up to you. Defeat his Slowpoke(afterwards your start button will work again), then fly to Lavender Town. Head west into Route 8. As soon as you enter the narrow path, the menu will pop up by itself. Press B to exit. . . and a wild Mew should appear. Mew will be at Level 7 and its only attack will be Pound. Get'em! Once you've caught Mew, you can save without any ill effects!
NOTE: I did this on my red game and I assume it works on the others (the Pokemon Board Mods say 'Yes'). It is well worth testing it because it is fairly easy to do but it is a little time consuming. Submitted by - Megod
- Yes, it works on other versions. I've tried it on Blue, but not Red. I've also tried it in Yellow, and it still works. Also, why the heck is there that load of sh!t about "beat the Elite Four 12 times and you'll get a Mew" on the page!? Those kinds of rumors were all disproven way back in 1999. Beating the E4 X amount of times does nothing special, whether it's 1, 12, 255, or 728, or whatever. Also, the first website to have this glitch detailed was http://pokeglitch.tripod.com/id1.html, not IGN.
[edit] Pick up and fly away?
In both Smash Bros. Games, if thrown at the perfect momenent, Mew will pick up the opponent and fly away.
- I've never seen mew pick anyone up in Smash Bros games O__o;

- It is probably completely false, but I have placed it here for if it can be verified. Sonic Mew 16:02, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

- Yeah, and Splash is a one-hit-KO if you use it right. It's fake. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 19:23, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Does the Mew glitch work on the Japanese Green Version...??
Does the Mew glitch work on the Japanese Green Version...??
[edit] Pokémon World = Earth?
In Pokémon: The First Movie, Team Rocket Scientists used a fossilized strand of Mew's Hair that they found in the Amazon Rainforest to create Mewtwo.
An interesting thing to note here is the mention of the Amazon Rainforest, which means that the world of Pokémon is actually Earth itself although this is not officialy supported. --Arima 14:23, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
- Kanto is a region in Japan. It doesn't mean the Pokémon world has anything to do with the real world. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 17:25, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- Though, if we are to believe the animé, at least, all Pokémon "regions" are, indeed, on Earth. A reference was made in "The School Of Hard Knocks" to France and all the characters visited Hollywood in "Go West, Young Meowth!". Add to that, Ash makes a reference to Minnesota in Pokémon: The First Movie, which, of course, is in the animé continuity. I think it's entirely possible that the Pokémon regions are on Earth, BUT it could be the case that the games, animé and manga each take place in alternate or parallel universes. I realise this has nothing at all to do with Mew, but I just thought I'd chip in my two pence on the whole Earth/Not Earth thing --L T Dangerous 15:22, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- I always thought that the pokemon world was Earth, but based on the technology (ie pokeballs) that it took place in the future. pokemon came from space, and killed off most of the dominant animal life (survival of the fittest) this makes sense, because aside from fish, the anime shows very little non-pokemon animal life
-
-
- Ash also mentions "Merry old England" in the anime. It's an alternate Earth. ~ZytheTalk to me! 23:29, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
-
-
-
-
- Then again, most of those "Earth" references could have just been put in by the company that does the dubbing. I know that some of those references have accompanying backdrops to coincide with them (I know the France one does), but do we know what was said in the original Japanese version of those scenes? --SaturnYoshi 06:50, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Does it even matter?
-

-
-
- [me] You know what all the regions are named in the game?
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Kanto, Johto, Hoenn...

- They exist in Japan!

A scientist in Pokémon Red and Blue's Silph Co. complains about being transferred to the "Tiksi Branch in Russian no-man's land. Pokédex entries refer to places like China and South America. Lt. Surge is referred to as "The Lightning American." At least in the continuity of the games, Pokémon's world is some alternate version of Earth. Happy Mask Man 02:13, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Okay. No one is really disagreeing. -SaturnYoshi 03:26, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] First Anime Appearance
Not arguing any points, but I have a theory that can't be proven right now: Mew could have appeared at any point in the Anime before the first movie, and we'd never know for sure. In the 8th movie, it imitates Ho-oh. And Ash saw Ho-oh right at the beginning of his journey. That said, I have a point that may disprove my theory: Mew's bubble wasn't burst at the start of Mewtwo Strikes Back, and the first scenes of the 8th movie were over a hundred years ago.
[edit] Rumors
Maybe we could include debunked rumors about how to get it? I'm playing XD and I just ran across a hilarious scenario in Quick Battle where my COM opponent's opening line was "There's no Pokémon under a truck". LOL -- WikidSmaht (talk) 19:40, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fetus
Has anyone noticed Mew's resemblance with a fetus? I mean, it is weakly developed, it is the origin of every Pokémon, and older game sprites mostly show it curled up in fetal position. Should I add it? Thanks Chairoguma 04:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Probably not. That would be something similar to original research, I would say. --Sparky Lurkdragon 07:06, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Good Point, Chairomibobbi.- 12Hernn
[edit] fact check
Please fact check [1]
[edit] Unable to fix typo
In the infobox, it says "Weight: 9.0 lb lb" but when I click edit page the spelling error isn't showing. WikiSlasher 07:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- I fixed it. There's no need to type "9.0 lb"; the template inserts the "lb" automagically. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 08:17, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mew is Kū?
I have been doing some search and I honestly think that Mew acctualy represents the fifth element of the japanese philosophy: Kū, because it has everything to do with it. See for yourself.
Jorge jojae 14:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unique?
It says Mew is unique in one sentence, but then it says that Mew specimens have been studied close-up.
[edit] Mews Name
In the article, it is said, the name Mew refers to "meow". But in the original (japanese) version the name is Myu so Mew also could be a reference to the japanese word Myo, that means strange and/or unique. I found this in the name guide on GameFAQs -> GBA -> Pokemon LeafGreen --Greetings, Constructor 23:49, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
I think you maybe right. cat in japanese is 猫 (mao)
[edit] Detail and tone of voice
This article needs copyediting and refining. Some of the sections are important for gameplay help, but Wikipedia is not a game guide. I am in favor of removing some content.
- All game guide-esque material can be removed. There have been additions like these to several of the Pokémon articles and they have been removed. -SaturnYoshi 09:23, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trading Mew in Ruby/Sapphire
If you get Mew, is it possible to trade it to other games, such as Emerald?
Or is it untradeable?
- Mew is tradeable to all current gen Pokémon games. This includes Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen, Colliseum and XD. Emerald is the version in which it is captured. However, if you are using an Action Replay to obtain Mew, there are some codes out there that despite letting you obtain it, will not let you trade. This has been fixed, you just have to look for the right one. -SaturnYoshi 14:51, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Hey, in the article at the top, in the chart, where it shows Mew's name, picture, signature, etc., isn't it also supposed to show Mew's signature attack and shiny colour?
- That's been disabled for a while. Nobody could agree on which Pokémon had which signature attack, and the shiny color was deemed unencyclopedic and inane trivia. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I don't understand why they made Mew genderless...
After all, they said Mew gave birth to Mewtwo... kind of odd, IMHO. --Nintendorulez talk 17:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- Mew giving birth to Mewtwo is only an expression. --Plau 17:14, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- It's not impossible for the Egg to have stayed in, and developed in Mew's Womb, if it has one. In the same way that Monotremes lay eggs, while other mammals don't, Mew could give live birth. Or it could be a metaphore to the egg's hatching. Understand that the Pokedex for Nidorina talks about it's motherly qualities, when Nidorina is, in fact, sterile.--Nintenfreak 22:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Infertile! only males are called Sterile... 71.60.172.54 01:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- It's to promote the idea that Legendary Pokémon can't breed, I mean, an army of baby Mews would anihilate everything in sight. And be adorable. --Phred Levi 02:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The mew rumor XD
there is a rumor that,in firered and leafgreen, that if you get all 28 unown and somehow find a secret cave which is called New Alph (possible connection to johtos ruins of alph?)4 unown will float up to your player (each lv.55, and they will freeze the game if you try to capture them)and you are FORCED into battle. then an unown ! will float up and lead you deep into the chamber, where it actually speaks and states 'i am lord Byralnown. you are the chosen one. pull the sacred leyever.' (lever + eye=leyever) when you do, a cutscene will occur where a new chamber rises out of the sea on 7 island. when you go there, theres no way inside. you must click on the visual braille (which reads: Wem XD chamber) and pause for a FULL minute, then a door automatically appears, opening into a labyrinth much like cerulean cave. the only wild pokemon are unown, ranging from lv.25 to lv.45, until you reach a door at the end of the labyrinths 10th floor which has more braille (reading: gather your courage, test your strength, a battle is coming that you wont soon forget.) then the door opens and your controls are reversed. EX: you press down on the control pad to go forward. then you have to make your way to the center of a small labyrinth where you find a lv.85 mew. then, just battle it to catch it. NOTE: it is suspected that New Alph is found in either digletts cave or one of the underground paths, but no one knows for sure. for more info, see unown
- This is completely and utterly FALSE. Also, what info in the Unown article is being refered to? -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 14:37, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Dude, as writer of this article, i must say, you are a total NERD.
- I agree with SaturnYoshi partially; it may not be false, but it has to be supported with a reliable source. If no one can support this with references, we have no choice but to see it as false. You must understand that Wikipedia is supposed to contain up-to-date and accurate information. It is not Uncyclopedia, nor is it a game guide. Original research is not permitted on this encyclopedia. -- Altiris Exeunt 10:44, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Nice rumor. Beats the phony "Ragunaros" pictures big-time. (UTC) Squareenix
Man, I wish that was true. I mean, Mew is my favorite Pokémon!!! --Luigifan 12:15, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mew as a development/testing tool?
In the first generation games, Red and Blue, it's interesting to note that Mew seemed to be prime for testing the code for Pokemon ability management and use. For example: he had five abilities, just one more than the ability list's four slots. Also, being compatible with all the machines, it would have allowed the developers an opportunity to check the code for the machines, for using them as well as the abilities they resulted in. It could possibly also have been used to ensure that the abilities were sufficiently "generic" enough for all pokemon to use them flawlessly.
I suppose it's invalid as "original research", but... FxChiP 04:16, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Romanization of Mew's Japanese name?
In the article about Mew, they have the English name also as the Japanese name. Now, I know all that can be possible known about Mew, and it would only be natural that I know Mew's Japanese name. Someone below said it is "Myu" which is not totaly correct. The correct name is "Myuu" and should show that on the article. When I went to edit this error, it showed this for the area to edit the name: Mew I never seen the word romanization before and am too lazy to look it up. Will someone explain why someone dose not want the correct Japanese name to be shown? Oh, and while I'm still typing, I would like to mention something else I read in the talk page for Mew. Someone said Mew gave birth to Mewtwo. That is true and false in some ways. Mewtwo was cloned from the fossil of a Mew in the Amizon Rainforest by a team of scientests lead by Team Rocket. Mew did not carry Mewtwo in a womb or an egg, thus never gave birth to Mewtwo. But, Mewtwo was made directly from the DNA of a Mew, making Mew the biological parent of Mewtwo. Well, that is all I have to say for now. May everyone continue to love and worship the all poweful Mew, ancestor of all Pokemon! MewSkitty 08:24, 23 December 2006 (UTC)MewSkitty
- It means Nintendo trademarked the transliteration, or romanization, of the Japanese name (ミュウ) as "Mew", instead of "Myuu" or "Myū". —M_C_Y_1008 (talk/contribs) 03:36, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

- We don't need a page on a fake Pokémon from a fake game. Also, new talk page sections go at the bottom, and you should sign your posts using
~~~~. – mcy1008 (talk) 01:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC) - Now let's see…
- New talk topics to the bottom, not some random place in the middle of the page.
- Sign your posts four tildes (~~~~), not just your name, so we can get a date and time. Yes, it matters.
- Speedy delete requested. :)—ウルタプ 01:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
