the truck my theory
 
okay you all know about the truck thing in red and blue ?well i think that maybe that it got some thing to do with the guy with the machop thats stamping the ground, maybe it was a side quest or even a event where you got a item to trigger the event. what may of happened was that a house is built and a person moves in and for some reason nitindo removed it maybe they ran out of time or soething what do you think?

Nine years later and people still think the truck does something. It's just an easter egg. nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't move, it doesn't have a role in the game, it doesn't do anything at all.

The truck has nothing to do with anything.
It was kept there for some reason.
Nintendo had planned something special but left it.

I've read somewhere that the truck WAS supposed to be a sidequest to get one of the HMs but the developers removed the mission at the last minute, leaving the truck sitting there.

Now it's just an Easter egg.

sauce plz

It didn't happen if there isn't any source. It's a joke made by Game Freak, it's an easter egg. It's pointless, useless piece of data left in to be found by bored players who try to push the boundaries of normal game play.

Short Range September 8th, 2007 3:24 AM

It's in LG and FR too. Also it doesn't have a Roll in the game. Get it? Trucks roll?

Your theory is wrong. Simple as that.

The Infinite Devil Machine September 8th, 2007 9:26 PM

Well, the truck does absolutely nothing(unless you're playing a Gen III game). I believe that it's just left over data that was never programmed into the game. That, or the designers decided to be giant douchebags. :)

Lord_Sesshoumaru September 9th, 2007 7:45 PM

What about the keys in the Game Corner at the up-right game machine,does it have any connection with the truck...?

nrox653 September 9th, 2007 8:01 PM

The truck's a simple easter egg that Game Freak put in for fun, and that's it, simple as that.

Is it just me or is this thread pointless?

Tanooki September 9th, 2007 8:17 PM

What a lame theory. How would the Machop have anything to do with the truck, other then the fact that Vermilion City is right next to it?

I can't believe people still think that truck does something. It's been known about for ages, and everyone knows it does nothing.

Bathing Ape September 10th, 2007 8:59 PM

Once you push the truck, it reveals secret information about Mew and the Nintendo Wii and the Xbox 360, all which have been in development since 1972 ;)

Gabri September 11th, 2007 3:47 AM

That truck is for NOTHING. It must be something GameFreak planned, but at the last hour before releasing the game, they must have removed that event and forgot to remove the truck.

nosferatu September 11th, 2007 10:22 PM

i never i does stuff i siad that naybe sthats what it was suppose to do

Tanooki September 11th, 2007 10:40 PM

You really have no proof of that (obviously).

The constant OMG I HAS TRUC THERY!!!1 is getting old. Nobody knows what it's for, and unless Game Freak comes out publicly and says something along the lines of "That truck near Vermilion City was supposed to do ______", nobody ever will know.

Put it to rest. All of us have "theory's" about the truck, but it's not worth the time to continue discussing something so old and overused.

omfx___harley September 23rd, 2007 1:48 PM

I have a REAL theory about the truck.

It was put in, it has no purpose, and no level 100 pokemon with strength can move it. EVER.:sleeping:

MyNameMeansForest September 23rd, 2007 2:18 PM

Let me explain about truck.
There are several theories to this truck. What I think are the most sensible are:

1. Meant to be a side quest, got taken out at the last minute.
2. A signature. That means if some experienced hacker decides to create and sell a bunch of games, the people would know whether the games are legit or not by the truck.
3. Easter egg.

There have been the stupidest rumors, like if you move the truck using cut/dig/strength/rock smash that you meet a mew or something like that. Not true. Truck does nothing.

An interesting fact is that the truck is back in FR/LG. This time though, you can find a lava cookie if you use itemfinder.

Harper September 27th, 2007 5:16 AM

Hey... how exactly do you get mew? is the only way through some special event or is there a propper legitimate in-game way to do it?

Binary September 27th, 2007 6:44 AM

There is a way to get it
I wont send you a link though
here:
glitchcity.info

P.S just put http//: infront of it!
no www. though.

Any rom hacker can tell you that there is no flag for the truck, your theory is baseless. It's an Easter Egg, people, stop putting false hopes into the stupid truck.

Kim Do-yeon September 27th, 2007 7:33 AM

It proves one thing about the truck is if you found it you must have used cheats and Game Freak now know or you have traded a Pokémon that knows cut over from another game and skipped the whole SS Anne storyline which means you are a cheat that does not wan't to stick to the storyline!

Short Range September 27th, 2007 3:51 PM

I E-mailed them about this sometime ago. They said something I didn't understand 'cause I was such a little kid. o.O

FALSE
after you obtain cut just lose a battle of the ship and then you appear in the pokemon center with HM Cut and the ship is still then when you go back to it.

Stupid Nintendo. If they say that it may be a cover-up. Like if MissingNo wasn't so widely known they probably would have said the same thing. Email them again with a different address and say you're a game programmer and you're 26 or something.
IDEA: If you've got spare time on your hands, everyone start bombarding Nintendo with emails till they give one of us a proper legit answer. Make sure you don't say you're under 18 or anything hinting that way. If you don't put an age and they say you're too young tell them you're 36 or something like that and make sure you quote the email they send you. lol
