How to get Mew: (Version 2)
Get all 150 pokemon. Deposit all but one of your pokemon and go and catch 5 Missingno's. Surf back to Fushia and go to the Safari zone. Catch a Tauros so it goes to Bill's P.C. Release all your pokemon except for your Misingnos. Go to the Indigo Plateau and beat the elite four. When profesor Oak comes he'll say "Wow. I've never seen that pokemon before." You'll go back to Pallet Town as usual.Teach one of your Missingnos 'SURF' and surf down to Cinnabar Island and go to the pokemon lab. Walk into the last room and talk to the guy at the back. He'll take one of your Missingnos and give a Mew in return.
