When I started pokemon blue, I had already known about mew and how no one could get him, the infamous truck rumor and all.
I remember wanting to have mew really badly but I knew I couldn't, so I set out on my journey and when I reached cerulean city I checked the pc for the first time to find...Mew, I couldn't fucking believe it, to this day I still don't know why this happened. I was the only kid I knew that had a mew back then
My copy of blue was bought at a yard sale, the game was less than a month old but they were selling it already, so I figure maybe there's some way to use an action replay/gameshark to put mew in that pc? I tried to google if that was possible and didn't get any results, that seems like the logical reason why. Either way, I loved my mew, I remember being so stunned when I discovered it could learn any tm, RIP mew
