>>52452318There was also a ton of rumors going around by word of mouth as other people have posted. Missingno, the Mew truck, amongst other things. From what I remember though, nothing caused as much chaos as this little blue fuck though.
The Pikablu rumor started spreading after some very early G/S scans hit the web, and people were glued to their gameboys again trying to find it. There were all kinds of methods we had heard about and tried to verify - nothing. The wild part is that because of Mew, nobody was willing to entertain the idea that any of this shit was fake, and nobody would have actual info on Gold and Silver’s existence for MONTHS.
Anyway, if you’ve read all of this - thanks. It’s been really fun recalling all of this stuff from decades ago.
