This glitch has been verified by IGN Pokemon Board Mods, so you know.


Restart your game and play until you get HM02 Fly from the house west of Celadon City (or just beat the third gym and get the badge that lets you use fly out of battle and trade pokemon that know fly to the new game).


IMPORTANT!!: DO NOT fight the following trainers:
The Youngster with a Slowpoke (level 17) on the road to Bill's house(Route 25). He is the fourth trainer after you cross Nugget Bridge, standing directly above a female trainer and facing north.
The Gambler with two poliwags and a poliwhirl (all level 22) between Lavender Town and Saffron City (Route 8). He is standing just east of the entrance to Saffron City, facing north toward the door of the Underground Path. Care fully follow the series of steps illustrated below...


Make sure you have a pokemon that knows FLY. Make sure you have a level 5 or 6 pokemon and a pokemon that knows SLEEP on your team. Stock up with pokeballs (Great Balls work the best). Now Save your game before you enter Route 8 since saving after this point will disrupt the procedure.


On Route 8, stand in front of the door of the Underground Path (don't let the gambler see you or you will need to restart where you last saved). Walk down one step and IMMEDIATELY press start. If you succeed, the menu will pop up before the Gambler "sees" you. Go to the Pokemon list and fly to Cerulean City. The Gambler will see you just before you fly away. Your Start button will no longer function. Go north across Nugget Bridge and head east until you find the Youngster described above.


If you walk right up to the Youngster, the game will lock up, so you'll have to let him see you and walk up to you. Defeat his Slowpoke(afterwards your start button will work again), then fly to Lavender Town. Head west into Route 8. As soon as you enter the narrow path, the menu will pop up by itself. Press B to exit. . . and a wild Mew should appear. Mew will be at Level 7 and its only attack will be Pound. Get'em! Once you've caught Mew, you can save without any ill effects!

the pokemon that appears there depends on what the last pokemon's special stat was - the youngster's slowpoke's special stat was 21, so a mew appeared!

to get any pokemon:

1. press start as you go into the gambler's vision
2. fly away to somewhere where you have'nt battled a trainer before
3. defeat the trainer - this unlocks your start button.
4. fly to somewhere where you can find a ditto - like the route to the east of fushia
5. find a wild ditto
6. get a ditto to transform into the pokemon with the right special stat
7. kill or run away from the ditto
8. fly back to lavendar and go west up the narrow path
9. your start button pops up, then you get encountered by a pokemon!
