5 Pokémon Red and Blue Myths You Probably Fell For

The Mew Truck

According to the myth of the Mew Truck, if you managed to get to the truck by the S.S. Anne and use Strength on it, the truck would disappear and leave a Pokéball containing Mew.

Players eventually managed to reach the truck, and after using Strength to no avail, new myths quickly began making the rounds. Unfortunately, neither using cut on the truck’s tires or using the keys from the Game Corner to unlock it revealed the elusive 151st Pokémon. The only way to gain Mew was to grab it at a Nintendo event, or a strange exploit in the game detailed here.
