I must say that there are some really mean people in this world. Now I'm not saying anybody here is gullible, but heres how I think this happened;
Mean Guy; Hey, what are you doing?
Pokemon Fan; I'm playing Pokemon Red!
Mean Guy; *Thought* He's so stupid playing Pokemon! I'm gonna make him look like an Idiot!
Mean Guy; *Watching* So what cheats have you learned?
Pokemon Fan; I heard about one with a truck!
Mean Guy; I heard if you move the truck you can find a really rare one.
Pokemon Fan; Really?
Pokemon Fan spends rest of the week trying to find Mew underneath a truck.

So, I think most of these things just happen because somebody wants to get a rise out of us. It's mean, but that stuff happens. People used to trick you into catching Missingno. and then whiping out your game and game memory. Now, I don't think anybody here is stupid, but think of all the cheats people have told you that ARE wrong. Jirachi, Mew, Celebi, and other things people show you ways to get. It's very, very, cruel, but again, people do it. I do not do a cheat, until I am absolutely sure that it works. I always look for at least 2 websites to say it, and find at least 3 videos of somebody performing the cheat. As I said earlier, there is no way to prove the cheat, but some people just like pressing it, because it feels like your helping. It's like playing a flying game and turning the controller sideways when turning. It doesn't help, but it feels like it.

Anyways, I'm done ranting. I hope you found what I had to say insightful.
