Red. Anyone remember that trick you were supposed to do to get Mew? Yeah right. My friends keep telling me how to do it but as it turn out you couldn't get Mew...
I ended up getting Mew from a young and not so bright cousin. At the time I had Red, Blue, and Yellow. Apparently my cousin got a Mew from a friend at his school. I didn't know this, until one day I was taking to him about how I had 150 of the pokemon, and I told him since I had all three versions, I had triplets of some of them like the legendary birds. Well, he was begging me to give him an Articuno. He had barely played his version of the game, and I told him that he should actually play the game instead of whining that he didn't have any of them he wanted.
(He hadn't even gotten to the first gym.)
I caved and told him I would trade one of my Articuno, but I remarked that he really wouldn't have anything I wanted. Then he said he would trade me his Mew. I didn't believe him until he showed it to me. The I said of course, who needs three Articuno anyway? I got Mew and completed one of my games, while my cousin complained because he was mad that the Articuno wouldn't listen and follow commands. I told him that he had to play the game to get more badges so that high level and traded pokemon would listen to him, that he wouldn't be able to use it till then. Then he told me that that was dumb and stopped playing his game for good.
That is why I always pointed out that pokemon games are too complicated for the average young person. My cousin at the time was 8. He always said that he was always lost and got mad when I told him to pay attention and read to find out where he was going.
It's no like it was maze of a game, it was practically a straight line that made a few turns until the end.
