“Obtained after completing the Pokédex.” MEW IS PART OF THE POKÉDEX! So... to get mew... you would have to have mew already. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? Why would you have to beat the elite four like I don’t know, 365 times! That would mean that you would have to allocate 2 bytes to do that. That may seem like nothing, but, 365 is 101101101 in binary. That is a lot. Pokémon red could barely fit all of the 151 Pokémon. (Citation: MissingNo.) And what, would professor oak just come up to you and say “umm... I.. have this Pokémon that looks like a cat.. and I forgot to give it to you the last 364 times... so... here you go...” and what if your party and box is full? “Uhh.. your box is full... umm... go fight the elite four 365 more times...”. And the truck?! What do you think “your Pokémon can move boulders” means!? and you need surf to get there in the first place, which you don’t get until later in the game. And when you finally get surf and go back to the S.S. Anne, the ship has departed. So... I can’t believe that they even thought this was even remotely possible! Game freak and Nentendo both had NO IDEA that mew was even in the game in the first place! So how would they code how to get something they didn’t even know was in the game!!! So yeah... mew is an event Pokémon!
