Is Mew the same regardless of Gameshark, glitch or Nintendo Event?
I have always wondered this and I can't find anything with all the google searches, (this is aimed at Gen 1, but comments about other generations are welcome) but is the Mew that is obtained by Gameshark or Game Genie, or using a glitch the same as the Mew one would get back in the day that Nintendo would hand out to you at the events?
I mean, my logical thoughts about it are that the gameshark clearly just makes the next wild pokemon you meet a Mew as mew clearly has a defined code in the database, so it's not like it's magically making a new pokemon, and Mew is not a corrupted mistake glitch pokemon such as Missingno, as Mew was intended to be in the gamecode, but just desigened to be unobtainable except for Nintendo events.
I am playing Pokemon Yellow for the first time as I only got back into Pokemon after over 15 years, as I was only a Gen 1 player back in the day (Pokemon Blue, where I got 150 pokemon back in the late 90's), and this time I used the Mew gameshark code but I didn't get an overpowered Mew, I just got it to pair with Pikachu as a 1-2 punch and am raising Mew along with Pikachu from the low levels when I got them (I got Mew as a Level 5 I think from what I remember).
I do not intend to use other cheats, but I may be going off topic now, but I see it that if Nintendo are not doing the events anymore (what skill does it really take to turn up to an event and have Mew handed to you anyway), then I think I can use a gameshark code to get Mew, considering he can't be encountered in the game (well except for the glitch, and thus the reason for this whole main question in the title of this thread).
Anyway, i've gone on too long with this post, what are everyones thoughts on this?
