  • Question
    How can I train Pokemon to fly?
    Community Answer
    You need HM 02 (fly).You can find it on the north/east half of route 16, which is west of Celadon city. Before going into the entrance to the bike path, you should see a cuttable tree. Past that tree is a secret resort. Talk to the people inside, and one of them should give you HM 02 (fly). Teach HM 02 (fly) to a flying Pokemon. To use fly outside of battle you need the storm badge, which you should have picked up from Lt. Surge at the gym in Vermillion City.

    How do I transfer the Mew?
    Community Answer
    You must restart your saved file until you get the right trainer ID (Google what it is). Make sure your name is GF, which stands for Gamefreak. Do the Mew glitch. You'll be able to transfer this Mew, because the game will think it was a Mew from the event.

    Get another game and get Mew on that, then trade it to your main game. Alternately, you could buy a cheat machine such as Gameshark.

    How do I get the hidden move cut?
    Community Answer
    You need to go on thee S.S Anne. Eventually you will come across a staircase around a corner. Walk up to it and a rival battle will trigger. Once your rival is beat, walk to the staircase. In it is a sick captain. Interact with him and he'll say he feels better or something like that. Then he'll give you cut.

    Community Answer
    As the person above said, to transfer mew to future generations, (besides gen 2, which you can just trade.) your name needs to be GF and with the right trainer ID (You can google it) and the game will think it’s an event.

    Does the mew glitch work on an emulator?
    Community Answer
    Yes. However, you can stop using roms and go buy the cartridges, they are not that expensive. Alternatively, you could get a 2DS or 3DS, and buy red/blue/yellow on the virtual console.
  • Question
    I am playing on an emulator, and when I attempted the Gambler Biker method, everything works up until the biker. The exclamation point shows up, and the battle music starts, but the battle does not start. What should I do about this?
    Community Answer
    I had this issue on my emulator, too. The mistake I was making was walking directly in front of the trainer I wanted to battle. You need to be far enough away that the biker rides up to you after seeing you, then the battle will initiate properly.
  • Question
    I play Pokémon Yellow on the virtual console on a 3DS. Can I send Mew to the Pokébank?
    Community Answer
    Not normally, no. Pokébank has a feature which doesn't allow for glitch Pokémon to be transferred in or out. The only way I could see you being able to transfer out the glitched Mew would be to make Pokébank believe your Mew is an event Pokemon. Even then, transferring it into certain games might still not work, since some games don't allow event Pokémon to be transferred in. But, in theory, it's possible.
