Sup y'all!
I'm a 20 year old dude (yeah, I'm gettin old for these things god dammit), and I'm from Portugal :D Haven't played pokemon for a long time...
I started playing these games back in 98/99 I think... and the "classic" series were the ones I most enjoyed. I used to own pokemon red/blue/yellow/gold/silver and a pirated version of crystal. For the N64 I had pokemon stadium 1/ 2 and snap versions. Had all the VHS tapes from the first season... some soundtrack CDs and trading cards, along with a huge collection of pokemon action figures. I basically used to breath pokemon stuff all the way!
I was a little kid back then and there were lots of rumors floating around. One of them being that prof. Oak would give away Mew, making it obtainable after acquiring all the 150 pokemons in the blue ver. which apparently was proven false since I beat the game with all pokemons, searched the whole game, spoke to every character and none would give me the 151 pokemon. :/
Everyone's heard about the Bills' house garden rumor I suppose. The story goes by that if you wondered around its house in its interior, somehow you would be able to get to the other side. Tried it several times back then, and again nothing happened.
There should be some other odd tales I've heard in the past, however these are the ones I currently can remember...
Oh, and just a funny fact about me and the world of pokemon... the first time I beat elite 4 (blue) I was taking a bath!!
I've joined this community because it seems to be the biggest and best around and I'm looking forward to get the info I need in order to get started on hacking the old pokemon games (red/blue/yellow/green).
Cheers!
