Ironically enough, that's the only way in Gen 1/2 to be certain that it's illegal. They have to have the OT they were distributed under or they're obvious hacks.

>> No.3638353

If you get a cloned Mew from a nintendo event, the Ot will still be Nintendo, right? But it'd still be a hack.

>> No.3638362

>>3638353
>A hack
Bad way of putting it. In modern Pokemon terminology, there's a sliding scale of Legit-Legal-Illegal. A Legit Mew would be one obtained from a Nintendo event. A Legal Mew would be one cloned from or genned as one from a Nintendo event. An Illegal Mew would be one caught ingame.

But the OT would have to be one that it was distributed with. I think "YOSHIRA" and "YOSHIRB" are the most believable. Of course, for the purposes of just playing ingame, legality doesn't start getting checked ingame until Gen III.

What if I start a new game as YOSHIRA or YOSHIRB and catch a Mew using the glitch?

>> No.3638373

>>3638365
I believe Gen III is supposed to have a failsafe where a wild Mew or Deoxys won't obey you if it isn't caught in the right place/way, but that's just hearsay. As far as trading and battling go, I think the legality checks there were added in Gen VI.

So if you were to try transferring a Mew glitch Mew from Yellow VC to Sun, it might not work because the OT is wrong.

>>3638370
That might work? Gen I games don't store a lot of encounter data, and the ID number is random.
But of course, for the sake of playing in Gens I/II, it's just fine to use a glitched Mew anyways. I was just saying that having it with your OT makes it almost certainly non-legit.

I had a Mew from a promotion. The original trainer was Nintendo. I don't know if other events had different OTs, but I doubt it.

Here's all the info I can recall (It was back in 98ish):
Every kid got a scratch card. Not all cards were winners. My aunt got me two winners.
You traded a Pokemon with a store employee. I think you may have had so many days to do it because I didn't get my Mews that day.

OT was Nintendo, but it was just aToys R Us employee to do the actual trade.

I may be forgetting some stuff. It was like twenty years ago and not a significant life event.

The id is completely random? Maybe there is a range difference between official and glitch/illegal ones. Otherwise by starting a new game as yoshira/yoshirb/etc and catching Mew would be enough to get a faux legal one.

That's not "taking care of your stuff," that's high-grade autism. I guess it's my mistake assuming you're capable of knowing the difference.

I don't see your point. The "4chan is a secret club for misfits" thing might have been true ten years ago (thankfully I wasn't there), but not anymore. It's only slightly less mainstream than Reddit. And /vr/ is pretty normal and civil compared to other boards, not to mention other websites.

I dunno if I'd consider /vr/ to be normal.
Also, the point, since you aren't too bright, is that you are complaining about people cherishing their childhood on the fucking retro board.
Calling people nostalfags on /vr/ is like going to /r9k/ and call them virgins, or going to /lbtg/ and call them faggots.
Yeah, we know, it's why we're here.

And again, I doubt you had a normal childhood if you are shitposting here.

Even if 4chan is well known, normal people barely use internet other than kikebook and twitter or instagram. Yet you're here, caring about some anon who framed a picture of Mew when he was 10 and who took care of it for 20 years.

I got one from a Nintendo rep at a mall tour. It wasn't too long before they had an official mall tour distribution.

I do wonder this. They claim that nobody has ever seen a Pokemon lay an egg and that the idea of eggs is a marvelous discovery. Now, are they telling the truth, or are they just trying to avoid the S-E-X word in front of ten year olds?

>> No.3647636

>>3647616
Considering that they're not literally eggs and "evolve" into Pokemon after a while, there are four explanations.

1: Pokemon were considered to give birth instead of laying eggs and laying eggs is a retcon
2: "Laid an egg" and "Gave birth" are synonymous when it comes to Pokemon due to the nature of eggs.
3: Certain Pokemon give birth instead of laying eggs.
4: Mewtwo was created in a test tube, and his fetus was implanted into Mew until he was born, which was an abnormal but effective way of growing him.
