/vp/, I have a frustrating issue.
Have you ever had a "That kid" moment that turned out to be true, but nobody believes you?

Before I start, our cartridge was clean (no hacks or anything). We played on one of those badass clear purple gameboy colours.
I remember reading online about a way to get Mew in Pokemon Gold without any hacks or something like that. (this was a long-ass time ago, my memory is shit)

It involved renaming a Starmie as "MEW", and renaming something else as "ZAPDOS" (I think) and sticking them both in the Daycare. My brother and I decided to try it out.
When we went to check on Starmie (aka MEW), against all fucking belief, the game said "MEW is glowing!".

Of course, it never actually gave us a Mew, but what the actual fuck was that? I've googled, googled some more, and even asked /v/ + /vp/ a couple times, and nobody seems to know or remember this secret. Most of you even said I was bullshitting.

Does anyone even have a clue what I'm talking about?
