I also heard a way to catch a pokemon easyer. When you throw your pokeball rapidly press the A button. I still do it to this day...

Getting all 251 Pokemon on G/S/C and Elm will give you a shiny Celebi. (But getting all of them was fun though, but my friend had to use an AR to get me a Celebi)

Or the Mew truck thing. But that wasn't nearly as much as an inconvinience.

The old fortunecity sites from the 1990s with the pokegods rumors are all _still_ around.

R/B/Y:
1.) Talking to a specific person (forgot who) and wait in one of the Gate houses near safforon for a week without playing you can pick up 99 masterballs. Stupid me, R/B/Y couldn't tell time.

2.)Beat the E4 50 times and talk to the old man in vermillion (one w/machop) that you will become the 9th gym leader and get to design your own gym.

3.)That a Phychic type poke can defeat the unidentified ghosts.

G/S/C:
1.) Surf near Cinnabar and a red tentacool will appear and give you the GS ball.

2.) (I made this one up) That on the route right of Vermillion giant venusaurs would kill you and you would see your guy in a coffin. (my friends believed this and avoided the area)

3.)rubbing Red's "dusty PC" (I don't know how you'd "rub" it, but w/e) that you could get a special item or something.

Note: I was around the age of 5 for the R/B/Y ones, and around 7 for the G/S/C rumors.

The dumbest rumor...well it was more dumb of me to believe this one. Someone told me that if you catch one of the legendary dogs in GS, you had to keep it in your party because if you put it in the box it would run away. This scared the sh*t out of me and so I NEVER caught the dogs...and now the save batteries on my Silver and Crystal have been dead for 2 years...yeah...

R/B/Y:

You can go to the Orange Islands via some hidden route near the Victory Road

That there were Johto Pokemon, in the grass behind the boundary in route one on the left and right sides of the route.\

That you can battle Prof. Oak after you capture every single Pokemon and that he has a lv.100 Mew

That if you take the Aerodactyl you get from the R&D on Cinnabar Island and raise to a high lvl, and then release it then go to the Pokemon league and start losing to Lance, Aerodactyl will fly back to you and help you defeat Lance by pwning his Pokemon with Sky Attacks and Hyper Beams.

G/S/C

That Snorlax had his own "special attack" called " Dynamic Slap" and that if use at the entrance of Mt. Silver, Snorlax will destroy the mountain and will reveal 4 new TMs, Fire Slap, Ice Slap, Thunder Slap, and Water Slap.

That you breed the Red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage with a regular Ditto, it will breed a Blue Magikarp


I was about 6 when the R/B/Y rumors surfaced and 7 when the G/S/C rumors appeared

I once heard that if you kept the Red Scale instead of getting the Exp. Share, you could give it to a Magikarp and when it evolved, it would be a red Gyarados.

I was told (G/S/E Time) that if the leaf stone was used on a happy Eevee then it would become a pokemon named Leafeon, but that was a lie. I spent ages earning a Leaf Stone, then getting my Eevee happy only to have it evolve into Espeon/Umbreon.

haha, aww that must have been so frustrating. I once heard a rumor that in ruby and sapphire, if you got the red orb and the blue orb, with kyogre and groudon being the only pokemon in your party, you would get rayquaza, and a thing called the green orb, which if you gave to those people on mt.pyre, they would give you a mew, as a gift for finding the lost orb. what is this!?!

@~MasterMind~: That's both Red and Blue. And I think you're telling a true glitch. Talk to the Old Man in Viridian, get him to show you catching Weedle, fly to cinnabar island, and ride along the side, you'll meet 'M, MissingNo., and maybe some over level 100 Pokémon. It's all TRUE.

The dumbest one I've ever heard...hm...I guess it'd be that if you walked on every tile in the game 3 times, you would be able to fight oak. Then, if you lost, he'd give you a magikarp. If you won, he gave you a level 200 mewtwo. Such a lie and I spent half my summer doing it. I hate that website!

The Missingno thing is real, I've done it several times in Blue.

I heard that you could catch other trainer's pokemon (obviously fake once you try it).

This one made me angry : ( my cousin made it up )

If you got mew and mewtwo and put them in the day care center in GSC, they would breed and then you have to make a new game and you will start with a mewthree that knows all the attacks in the game

It took me forever but it didnt work

;_;

It was an old school yard rumor that if you turn right in Lances room at the Elite 4 (In R/B/Y) that you fight Goku from Dragonball Z. Most ridiculous thing I ever heard in my life.

Rumor: If you beat the E4 150 times, all kanto will convert into a mewtwo world. After you have pss some of the game, you will find mewthree.

I'm not stupid, who invented this?

Another I thought was true, in G/S/C

If your Pokemon takes damage and repeatedly tap the B button, the dmg your Pokemon takes gets lessend

The stupidest on I've heard of is in Gold/Silver, after you beat the Elite Four fifteen times, after you warp home, you automatically go inside, and your mom and Professor Oak are sitting at the table, and they announce their engagement.

The scene changes to the wedding, and after the two kiss you can walk around and find wild Celebis at level 5... O_O

I do that too. In the Nintendo Official Guide I had, it said if you press B and tap down when using a Pokéball and B and up when using an Ultra Ball (It may have been the other way around but i'm 99% sure that's what it said) the catch success rate is greatened. Not certain I believe it but I do it anyway when catching Pokémon - more out of habit than anything else haha!

The dumbest things i've ever heard:
Train a Nidoking to Lv 100 and speak to the Rocket in Celadon City - He'll give you the truck keys
Speak to Bill 1,000,000 times and he'll give you a Pikablu
Show your Mewtwo to the trainer at the Power Plant and he'll give you a Mew

Honestly, where do people get these from? :/

Here are some I heard, most are just completely dumb.

Red/Blue
- The Infamous Mew and the Deserted Truck
- *Insert Stone Here* on Mewtwo creates Mewthree
- Name Pikachu "Pikablu" and it would turn into a Pikablu (aka Marill)
- Kill 666 Eggxecutor and an egg would fall that hatched into Togepi
- Leaf Stone on Eevee creates Leafeon/Grasseon/Treeon
- Moon Stone on Eevee creates Lunareon
- Catch a Dratini in Red, Trade to Blue, Evolve, Trade back, Evolve, Trade back, Go to Cerulean Cave, Use Fire Stone on Dragonite and it evolves into a Yoshi.
- Name your Character "Mario" or "Luigi" and your character becomes Mario or Luigi with an Elemental (Water/Fire/Grass) Yoshi as your starter choice.
- Name your character "Link" and your character becomes Link.
- Bill's Secret Garden

Yellow
- Talk to Brock/Misty 100 times after beating the Elite 100 times to get them as companions.
- Evolve Charmander and it won't Listen to you, as in the anime.
- Bulbasaur won't Evolve.
- Squirtle can gain Squirtle Squad Shades
- You can go to Orange Islands via Bill's Backyard.
- Pikachu can learn fly if an item called "Balloons" is used on it.
- Lose to Lt. Surge's Raichu 90 times and Pikachu will opt to evolve into a Raichu (or a Pikablu/Marill)
- Beat the Elite 2,000 times and you can go to Mt. Silver, but only if connected to Gold/Silver.

Gold/Silver
- You can play a new story as Red set after Red/Blue/Yellow if you beat him 87 times in a row without leaving the area.
- If a Marill is traded to Red/Blue/Yellow, its name changes automatically to Pikablu.
- Giovanni can be found in a secret room in the Viridian City Gym if you have a Special Legendary in your party (Yoshi, Mewthree, Etc). When you find him, he fights you with a lvl 100 Armored Mewtwo, as seen in Pokemon the First Movie.
- Beat Red for a 47th time at 3:33 exactly and he will give you his Pikachu, which will follow you and can learn Surf.
- After getting Celibi, you can Time Travel to Old Kanto and go into the Safari Zone.
- After getting Celebi, you can Time Travel to Old Kanto, where you can meet Red's Mother as a trainer named Delia. Beat her 13 times and she'll ask you to marry her, thus making you Red's Father.

Crystal
- Beat Red 88 times and he'll ask for your Phone Number if you're a female. He'll call you in 17 hours and ask you on a date.

Mines for Gold/Silver..
My friend once told me that you can catch a gold/silver rhyhorn in victory road depending on your game.
And I spent forever looking for it..
God knows where he got that from.

RBY:
• If you capture a pikachu and not give it a nickname, then go to Lavender Town and change the nickname to "Pikachan" it will turn green.

RSE:
• After you beat the E4 150 times, the Pokémon Center in Lilycove will turn into the "Legendary Daycare" where bred pokémon are stronger and you can breed legendaries.

That I could capture Celebi by getting all of the badges in G/S/C and defeating "Red".
