Jolt135 was me, and I can provide a bit of extra context.

When I first signed up at Azure Heights in mid-2001, my first post was one asking what happened if you had a Ditto transform into Smeargle and sketch other moves for it to potentially keep after battle. Their forums were taken down a few years ago, but until they were, that post had the honor of being my oldest surviving post *anywhere* online. Anyway, the initial response was from Meowth346, one of the leading names in research of the time, who dismissed it as not working, and everyone just left it at that.

Of course, in November 2002, somebody else put forth the exact same scenario, only they actually managed to test it, and found that it worked. Once I saw it, I was reminded of that first post–sure, the community response thereafter was to disqualify those from being legal movepool additions (especially since they could also be accessed through Mimic or Metronome, allowing the collateral damage to extend far beyond Ditto and Mew), but if I had concocted the proper test at the time, we could have done to find out about it over a year sooner than we did.

That whole episode was still fresh in mind five months later, when the ultimately successful Mew post went up. Back then I was still rationed to one hous or online time per day, so I didn't see the post until the 20th (which happened to be Easter that year). Upon seeing the steps, it did read like a plausible way for things to happen, if only could be tested…but this time I was in a position to test it. So it was worth a shot…and once it worked, and everyone came around on it, it was as though Mew had finally risen from the dead.

I remember describing it to my best friend and her brother around 2004 when I first learned about it and having him confidently tell me it was fake, probably for the same reasons everyone else dismissed it. Later they came to believe it but I don't remember how.

Butterfree, I LOVE that you always dig so deep into everything I can still learn something new about a thing that has been pored through for decades now! And that it is that this whole time the trick also quietly performs One (1) evaporation is SENDING me
THE LAW OF EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE… [a ten year old pokemon trainer conducts an otherworldly ritual so they can own a super cool legendary pokemon. the monkey's paw curls & some other guy screams as he is sucked into the shadow realm(distortion world)]

As someone who was born a couple of years after R/B came out, it’s fascinating learning about the history of how people discovered this iconic glitch.
First performed it myself on emulator around 2010 or so - in fact I used Mew (and Missingno.) in my first playthrough of R/B.

I remember also finding and performing that trick on the internet (definitely quite later than 2002), and being amazed about it actually working. I figured it was coincidentally creating some encounter data that just happened to be Mew in that case, but never really got to understand how it works. Thanks for the writeup and capturing that magical feeling. I wonder what whoever discovered it is doing now, and if they realize what their accidental discovery led to.

i never understood why you had to have a trainer walk up to you (possibly i missed it more recently since i do follow TheZZAZZGlitch, but still); should've guessed it was clearing out the movement part
mew glitch and old man glitch are probably why i got into glitches, thus why i got into coding and computer stuff eventually… it's just. so wild that all this works

You forgot something for the calculators. If the person is pressing 'b' or not. (This is a joke)

I found this page through a google search about pure flying types using roost (often talked about in gen 4 as a possible way to get ??? Arceus). Harder to find info now that it changes them to normal type, but thank you for this list! Looked through the site a bit and gives me vibes from the old poke2.com website in the gsc days! Glad sites like this still exist.

"if you're playing Sw/Sh with the Expansion Pass, unfortunately this number is not visible in-game"

Would it be possible to add what the total would be if you know you've completed the full dex (base game plus DLC)?

kroko

I meant Simipour, not Simisage. I always mess them up.
