What was the worst trick you fell for?
 
I think you guys know what I mean. Did you spend hours looking for Pikablu? Did you quest for Mewthree? How long did it take you to move that damn truck?

BrainDamage August 16th, 2007 11:26 AM

xD x 800,000 . i always knew those didnt exist *shifty eyes*

My brother found Missingo and didn't tell me it messed up the game and told me to catch it.......I did. :(

I remember how long I tried to get that truck.

I even had all my pokemon know strength, and they all used it at one time. It still didn't move D:

Naito August 16th, 2007 1:22 PM

In Blue, I found Missingno and caught it... Let's say it didn't turn out good.

steel__pscyho August 16th, 2007 2:09 PM

i spent like years looking for pikablu, all i found were dumb marill. XD

Wish August 16th, 2007 2:18 PM

I fell for the Truck trick. :( I wasted so much time :(

steel__pscyho August 16th, 2007 5:27 PM

wait, what truck trick? someone tell. oh and on topic, i also tried the missingno thing, game glitch!

If you raise a Magikarp and raise it to level 50, it'll evolve into Mew!!!

I cried when I figured out what Missingo did. I always called him "The Missing Link" though. I thought it was a Zelda reference back then. D:

Apathetic_Yen August 16th, 2007 6:41 PM

I used a bunch of items on the shrine in Ilex forest to try and get a Celebi

Metagross_collector August 16th, 2007 7:35 PM

yeah the pikablu think was so annoying, and off topic, you like the song hey there deliah? cuz i really like it to. =]

I forget what started the whole Pikablu thing? The surfing Pikachu, or before we knew Marills name?

It was before we knew Marill's name. I had an official card that actually said Pikablu on it. I believe it was from the first movie.

You avatar is pure win.

SilencedShooter August 16th, 2007 7:56 PM

Oh yeah! Even though the Marill in Pikachu's Vacation clearly said "Marill" over and over.

I'm not kidding. It was a group shot that had each Pokemon's name printed on the back.

Syaoran_2001 August 16th, 2007 10:16 PM

One of my friends said that Mewtwo evolved into "Doomsday." He also said there was a Doomsday card and that he had one, but he kept it locked up in a safe, and he couldn't show anyone. I never believed anything he said though because he was always spouting off some stupid thing that wasn't even remotely believable.

msdmario August 16th, 2007 11:11 PM

One of my friends tricked me about getting the GS Ball is Silver when I was 11. He said that if you show Prof. Oak a complete Pokedex of 250 pokemon, you would get the GS Ball to activate the Celebi event. Boy was he wrong. I did manage to get all 250 pokemon though.

Well. I got the Japenese version and my friend told me the same thing but he was surprised to see I really got celebi :D

spam August 17th, 2007 6:37 AM

To tell everybody the truth, I've never really fallen for the "Mew Truck" or the "Pikablu/Mewthree? stuff although I DID used to think Pikablu was real!

I DID Spend hours trying to get past the guard by the SS Anne so I could Surf to the truck to see what all the commotion was all about, however, I could't seem to Surf over the guard or through the trees.

Shiraishi August 17th, 2007 6:42 AM

Whats a mew truck? o.o This isn't in G/S/C but I fell for the 100 launches and you get jirachi trick =_= I didn't give my friends jirachis when I got teh bonus disk >=D

Ivysaur August 17th, 2007 6:47 AM

Mew truck? It's the well-known truck in the SS. Anne which, supposedly, hid Mew. I heard a trick where you had to have a Dratini, a Dragonair and a Dragonite. A (ex)friend told me he was training the first two, so I only had to "lent" him my Dragonite... I never saw it again.

vizforte August 17th, 2007 6:52 AM

I tried the truck trick, it didn't work. But it was still fun going around about to get the poison badge before you got the 2 previous. lol.

Never heard of Pikablu. Missingno, I never caught one, but from the trick it is along side, I caught 20 lvl 100 snorlax. lol

SilencedShooter August 17th, 2007 8:54 AM

Did anybody ever hear that trick that said the grass in bills back yard had wild Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur? Heh, what a load of bull.

It was a glitch in R/B/Y. Most people used it to duplicate items.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Missingno.

TheReignOverhead August 17th, 2007 6:03 PM

Oh yes, Missing Number (missingno).
I've fallen for that one.

fearow23 August 17th, 2007 6:28 PM

The worst trick I ever fell for was those darn cloning scams on this forum! And also that the tooth fairy really existed...if you got $100 every time you lost your teeth, you'd believe in her too!

Chibaymega12 August 17th, 2007 7:32 PM

some dude told me that mew, togepi, marill, phanpy, and donphan were available in the game, seeing as they were introduced early and crap

i think i spent a year looking in veridian forest for the "Pink Bubble" he told me about, that there was a secret passage some where in the trees and you use cut, and a pick bubble comes out, giving you the chance to fight Mew. BULL CRAP!

As for Marill, i spent a few months looking at the islands that you find all the ice pokemon in for days, he told me to look for a little ball with a tail, then use strength on it, he said it would fight you as a Marill. Again, BULL CRAP!

I spent probably the most time on Togepi. He told me to go to the old cinabar mantions, and look for one of those pokemon statues with it holding an egg. I prolly spent most of my time after giving up on mew and marill until g/s. Once again, BULL CRAP!

Finally, that stupid kid told me that if i searched on the outside of Cerulean Cave, adn keep on using rock smash, that one of the walls would crumble, giving me the chance of fighting either a level five Phanpy or a level fifty donphan. I HATE THAT KID!

Shiny Umbreon August 17th, 2007 7:36 PM

"If you use Thundershock on a Pikachu, it levels up."

I didn't fall for that one, but it was amusing to think about it.

brotlov August 17th, 2007 7:59 PM

my friend said that if you already have a super rod, and talk to the guy who gives you it 1000 times, then you get a hyper rod, with that you can catch a pikablu, i fell for that so bad

spam August 18th, 2007 8:35 AM

I was told that if you found a Spearow lvl. 0 in the Safari Zone, Bill would let you into his backyard and you'd find Mew.

Someone also told me that if you caught all the Pokemon, found the "Mew Truck", and drove it to the Pokemon League, you'd unlock Johto in RBY. The person even told me he got all the badges in Johto as well.

Some my cousin told me that after you capture Missingno, it begins to transform into rare Pokemon like Squirtle and Mew. I actually believed him too.

DrDeath August 18th, 2007 9:04 AM

The grass near Pallat Town, blocked by the fence or something contained like level 100 Charizards and Mews. Oh the wasted time..

Chibaymega12 August 18th, 2007 9:36 AM

i also heard that if you walk that little circle where the building was going up 1000 times, and you go into a building and come out, that the building would be up, and you could find an Unown in there. I didn't spend much time on that one, i just turned on my game a few minutes ago, to try to find the truck you all are talking about, and i noticed i was on the outside of that circle, and i remembered. Wow, it's been a long time since i've played blue...

Always and Never August 18th, 2007 10:50 AM

I heard where you talk to Kamon 100 times when he is standing outside Elm's office and you unlock a super secret store where you can buy the starters and masterballs.

BlueSonic August 18th, 2007 11:58 AM

Yeah, tried to do a bit, but it was fake.

Alex August 18th, 2007 4:50 PM

I had first heard that there was some backyard behind Bill's house, and it contained extremely rare pokemon, and all the starters. Since I believed it, I tried to get more info and wound up finding out that you had to show Bill really rare pokemon of your own, and I can only remember being told to show him a Dragonite and Porygon. xD

Since I knew I'd never get a Dragonite, I didn't even try.

(RBY)

Warheart August 18th, 2007 8:16 PM

Yeah, I fell for that "Mew/truck" thing, except the way I heard it was entirely different; you need to get behind it, teach Chansey strength, and push the truck foreward. If you went in front, your rival would get in, and run you over, killing you and your pokemon (WTF? XD)

Officer Jenny would totally bust you. You're ten for god's sake! :p

I heard that if you raised sixteen level 100 Pokemon and went to the Celadon game corner, an old woman would give you Pikablu. I didn't even try.

J00N45 August 19th, 2007 4:46 AM

You are a brave person. Missing No and it's buddies have different effects on different games. One error that always happens with that trick is that your Hall of Fame gets messed up. I, myself, never tried catching one, but after cloning a bunch of items, my game got corrupted. D=

BTW, you caught an 'M. They turn into Kankaskhans, not Missing Noes.

spam August 20th, 2007 5:54 AM

^ Catching Missingno won't mess up your game, just make your HoF look cooler. Missingno isn't really all that gret in battling though.

I was told that the grass beside Pallet Town had Mew, legendaries, and starters in it.

I was told that if you talk to Kurt 100 times and give him 100 apricorns, he'll make you a GS Ball and take you into the Ilex Forest to capture Celebi.

I didn't say catching it messes up your game. Stop putting words in my mouth! I said that my game got corrupted after cloning a bunch of items. Do people even read these days?

~Mithos~ August 20th, 2007 9:11 AM

somebody told me that they did a glitch where if I traded my ho-oh and lugia that were level one hundred for his pikachu and mewtwo they'd evolve into a pikablu and a mewthree.

lets just say I don't have a lugia and ho-oh anymore -_-

J-Rad August 20th, 2007 3:51 PM

I heard about the celebi event GS ball thingy and thought it ment in all versions not just the japenese one so I literaly spent days trying to find the girl that gave u the GS ball, then I read it could only be obtained in japan.http://pokecommunity.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ August 21st, 2007 2:57 PM

when I was looking for Mewthree also there was this trick that if you have a Mewtwo and caught it with a master ball and you have to have MissinNo. in your Party and when you caught the Mewtwo it will have the head of a Dragonite

score_under August 31st, 2007 8:54 AM

When I was a bit smaller, I got that game as a present. Someone told me that if you unscrew the cart, you can see a white microchip. He said that if you take it out, it glitches the game's wild pokemon so you can catch pikablu. That was so obviously bull I didn't fall for it even then!

LOL yeah thats for some reason came accross as really funny xD




Well yeah I was told if you cautch a level 26 mr mime Somewere in the game and talked to proof oak he would battle you and if you win you get 100 masterballs and all 252 pokemon HAHA yup i fell for it

Orochi September 28th, 2007 8:54 AM

2 tricks i fell for.
 
i fell for the truck trick and the missingo trick,i couldnt find out what was in that truck and i caught the bug poke-missingo ^--^
and the one in fire red when you beat the third gym and all your pokemon are lv30,you come back to oak and you get a groudon,i was pissed when i found out that it was a fake.

JX Valentine September 28th, 2007 11:11 AM

Ooh. *adds to the wall of shame*

When I was younger, I heard about this "cheat" called Thief City, where if you go through the E4 challenge X number of times, Professor Oak will get tired of having to get you recorded in the Hall of Fame and will simply let you wander around back there. If you wandered far enough away, you'll come to a door which will lead to a hidden city where you can buy Master Balls and Thief Balls (which allowed you to capture Pokemon already owned by trainers) and battle your rival for a gym badge.

So, needless to say, I think I fought the E4 about thirty times before going, "Hey. Waitaminute..."

umbros September 28th, 2007 11:18 AM

As much as I hate to admit it, I fell for a lot of these. I tried the truck thing, every possible way to catch Mew (which made me not try the real Mew glitch when I heard about it for a while), everything to do with Missingno., and trying to get around in the back of the E4. What wastes of time.

But, I almost feel like getting fooled into all of this is part of what makes trainers have such fond memories. You almost feel like you've been through a lot with pokemon. Wow, even I knew how lame that sounded.

Improfane September 28th, 2007 2:45 PM

I tried the truck thing too and I also hoped that mom would give you Togepi...

ShadowTails September 28th, 2007 4:55 PM

I sort of fell for Talk to the trash a few times then Oak will tell you to fight the E4 then after you beat them an unreasonable number of times you'd get Togepi... after hearing all that I tried battling the E4 a lot, but I doubted it'd work.

diamondpearl876 September 28th, 2007 6:34 PM

I fell for everything that had to do with obtaining Mew. XD Eventually, I found one that worked, but still . . . I'm pretty gullible.

Improfane September 29th, 2007 4:16 AM

Nobody in this thread should feel guilty for falling for it, nor should those who didn't be proud.

If you're a kid, you cannot wait for a trick to give you a new Pokemon.

Why I fell for them? Because some of them really do work. I followed instructions on how to get a Kangaskhan quickly in the Safari zone, the Missingo item glitch and invisible items on the floor.

MoonlightUmbreon September 29th, 2007 8:18 AM

There is a mew glitch that really does work. I know because I have a Mew on Red.

On the contrary, (man, I can't believe I fell for this) that if you duplicate your Masterballs with MissingNo (for me, nearly a daily chore) and go to the elite four. when you get to lance and he sends out his last Pokemon, throw a Masterball immediately, and he'll block it, but you catch him instead. He apparently knows Mega Punch, Mega Kick, Bite and double slap. lol, I actually tried it and nothing (obviously) happened.

Kim Do-yeon September 29th, 2007 11:12 AM

The one I fell for was if you catch the unown and put them in the order in your party which spells out C.E.L.E.B.I then you go to the shrine in Ilex Forest you can catch Celebi which did not work!

Oh geez, that is FUNNY! xD

(GOLD)
My next door neighbour told me if you threw a MasterBall at the shrine, you'd get Celebi. Me, being a smart cookie, cloned the MasterBall many times and saved before I did it. I restarted it a few times, then realised it didn't work.

(BLUE)
The same person, said if you beat the League 100 times, Bill's Garden would open up, it follow through to a special item for Celebi (to trade to G/S) and Mew would be there too. Ehe, that one, I knew, was total bogus .

Ehe. Why did I believe the guy? He once told me he created Bulbasaur X_X

LMAO LMAO LMAO LOOK HERE FOR A GOOD LAUGH. More bogus cheats

Is this false? If you play Ruby/Sapphire, after a year (of play time), there is a glitch that's something to do with the berries. Well, I've always thought the berries are glitchy anyway.

The internal battery could run dry....which means days wouldn't pass, so new berries wouldn't grow.

Te-em October 1st, 2007 11:39 AM

But why exactly a year? I think the battery would run dry before that, and it also depends on how much you save and load. And I've heard this can be fixed it you trade a Pokemon from Colloseum or Channel or something like that, but that seems strange because the battery can't be recharged at least not this way. You can only insert a new battery to make it work again.

When I was on YouTube I saw a video showing how to catch Mew.I was totally up for catching him but then I thought..."Is it photoshopped?" and I didnt try.It may work though but I cant find my game.I will try if I find it.

Lol, I fell so badly for the truck thing. I was so pissed when it didn't work. But then I found out about the working Mew trick. :)

BreD October 3rd, 2007 7:01 AM

I caught missingo and saved it, then released it when i found out what it did.
After that, about a week later i battled my friend.
He didn't have a single pikachu in his squad, but for me he kept on sending out lots of lvl 1 pikachu's... they just kept dieing... i was all "wtf?"

If you guys are wondering about the truck thing and want to see it (do nothing).
  • Go to Vermillion city, go to the guy who you flash the ticket to.
  • Try walk past. He says 'the ship set sail'.
  • This the sometimes difficult part: Press right and press start right after pressing it.
  • If you did it right, you'll be standing infront of the man facing right.
  • Save the game.
  • Switch off.
  • Turn back on. ContinueIf you did it right, you will be facing right. Do not move!
  • Use Surf on a Pokemon.
  • Press down.
    You can now visit the truck without purposely dying on the SS Anne.

what i did to get to the truck was just skip ss anne altogether and get a pokemon from a different cartridge that knew cut and came back later when i knew surf.. but if u glitch past the ticket holder.. how do you get past back out into vermillion city?

a trick i fell for once.. a friend told me that if you have a lvl 80 or higher pokemon in your party you can grab one fossil and trade the nerd a gold nugget for the other fossil. i started a new game all for nothing with that one.

once my friend trick me and got my holographic charizard for some less significant trade.. when i found out how rare the charizard really was, i went home and took a weedle card and took shiny stickers and cut them up and placed them around weedle and traded it for my charizard back. XD

LMAO!!!

When I was on YouTube I saw a video showing how to catch Mew.I was totally up for catching him but then I thought..."Is it photoshopped?" and I didnt try.It may work though but I cant find my game.I will try if I find it.
I don't know how you can photoshop a video, but some people will hacked the game and record it.

Lash October 8th, 2007 3:38 PM

I actually thought that you could catch a Kecleon thing when it appeared in the Johto seasons. My friend tricked me by saying he had a Kecleon XD

MissMegano October 16th, 2007 1:58 PM

I fell for the magikarp getting to lv. 50 in the daycare and evolving into mew. -_-

Monzae October 21st, 2007 6:33 AM

Mew and that DAMN TRUCK!

That truck DOES NOT MOVE DAMMIT.

-_-;

I think I literally cried over the hype and epic fail of not getting that Mew.

Apathetic_Yen October 24th, 2007 4:10 PM

Nothing to do with the game itself, but my firend told me when I was little that there would be a live-action pokemon movie.

Erimgard October 25th, 2007 9:07 PM

I fell for the Mew Truck

My neighbor fell for the "Beat the Elite Four 50 times and Bill takes you into his backyard and gives you Mew"

That was probably a bad interpretation of the live action pokemon Musical that went around for a short period of time. lol, yes, im serious.

Worst trick I fell for was anything to do with Mew. The truck especially. Never heard of the beat the elite four 50 times though.

Worst thing that happened to me though was, I was trading with a friend, who had a Mew, and immediately afterwards. I went and did the Missingo deal, and the 100+ pokemon that showed up was Mew! I was so happy.... then.... my game crashed.

Bejesus October 27th, 2007 2:50 AM

I heard that if you beat the Elite Four 100 times in the first gen, you became a Gym leader lol. Think i stopped counting at 25, atleast it wasn't a 'scam', because you only lost time, but gained experience, money and some kind of ego lol.

Slightly unrelated but there was a massive rumour going round that in the second gen games (weren't released when it was circulating) you could get a motorbike.

I tried the missingno cheat on Yellow...that was my first Pokemon game, but i got Blue like YEARS later. Think it was when RS was out! Think i did TRY it...i had yellow and i was only completing Blue because my mum got it me because it was in sale lol.

I remember about the Magikarp to Mew thing, mustn't have bothered. Either ways i just got Mew and Celebi off friends, god knows if they were reall or not lol.

Haven't got any of the event pokemon since the Crystal days though:( mostly because everyone turned to a teenager and went off getting drunk, getting girls etc etc. Not trading in Diamond yet, waiting till i complete it, the Elite Four is to hard this gen lol.

Riku4526 October 27th, 2007 8:52 AM

When i played pokemon (metals and colors) I never even knew about those XD Except for Mewthree i still didn't believe in that...

cuongnet October 28th, 2007 5:23 AM

shop fashion ! hot goooooooooo

dposters October 28th, 2007 8:28 AM

i was told that a taking a L100 chansey into the game corner would give you a 100% chance of winning...

also i fell for every magikarp -> mew trick

the truck i didn't ever try to move

collecting eevee and its evolutions (3 in the case of RBY) and then showing them to bill would unlock pikablu....we actually tried this knowing already that it was fake...

as a kid i guess i was desperate to get something new and exciting

agent destroyer November 15th, 2007 7:54 PM

i fell for the "lose to the elite four three times and a girl will give you masterballs" cheat and i lost i lot of money doing it to find it didn't exist on pokemon gold.
