@AtnsXBT Still to this day, doing this glitch makes me feel like a genius 😅

the glitch that saved pokemon games. back in 1996, pokemon red and green were struggling. initial sales were slower than expected and nintendo was starting to worry the franchise might not survive. then shigeki morimoto, one of the programmers, secretly added one final pokemon into the game’s code at the very last minute: mew (internal index #151). this single addition created one of the most powerful marketing moments in gaming history. rumors spread through magazines and playgrounds that a secret pokemon existed. the most reliable way to actually encounter mew without events is the famous mew glitch, one of the most elegant memory corruption exploits in the original red and blue versions. talk to the old man in viridian city for the catching tutorial. this overwrites a portion of the game’s wild encounter data ram with your player name string (a memory-saving shortcut).immediately use fly to go to cinnabar island. then surf up and down the eastern coast on the specific water tiles that trigger encounters. depending on the exact characters in your player name (which map to specific hex values), the game loads an invalid pokedex index, one of them is mew. when it works, a wild mew appears. this happens because the game treats part of your name as a pointer into the encounter table. the glitch also causes the famous item duplication effect: encountering mew adds 128 to the quantity of the 6th item in your bag due to an 8 bit overflow in the item handling routine. this single hidden pokemon and the glitch surrounding it helped fuel the entire pokemon franchise and proved how a tiny bit of leftover code could turn a struggling game into a cultural juggernaut.
