Green-specific Glitches

I've been looking through my old emails, and I've found an email I got years ago, from a "Thomas Lei" about a Mew Glitch specific to Green. I can confirm (I did test via emulation when I got the email) that the Mew glitch does work...

I'll paste the details directly from the email.

There are two main glitchs:
1. Mew glitch
2. Lv.100 glitch


---------------------
To do the Mew glitch:
1. get 2 pokemons, water type***
2. have 13 items with you
3. get into battle
4. go to item
5. go to the 13th item(press down 12 times)
6. press select
7. press B
8. go to switch pokemon screen
9. press down(point to 2nd pokemon)
10.press A(the pokemon should turn to Mew)***
11.Now you can press B to cancel back to the battle screen and run away from battle OR kill the enemy to win the battle.
12.Heal your pokemon and put Mew into the PC then take it back out(it should fix the HP)###
13.Or simply trade it to another gameboy

***using other types your pokemon will turn into a "fossil" and the game freeze at step 10
***if you win the battle with this 'Mew', it will turn to lv.101

###it will mess up your item#1 so don't put bicycle at the first place in the item list(put potion ^^) and also some other things may not work probably.

---repeat the steps 1-10 will turn your Mew back to the original pokemon(the pokemon you turned into Mew will come back) and it will also fix all the problems you get when you hold the Mew(fix the item#1)

----------------------
To do the quick Lv100:
1. have a pokemon with at least 2 attacks(moves)
2. have 7 iteams
3. get into battle
4. go to item
5. go to the 7th item(press down 6 times)
6. press select
7. press B
8. choose attack
9. press down so it will point to your 2nd move(or 4th if you have 4 moves)
10.press A(that attack move will turn into another move and will have 0 pp ususally)***
11.Use other attacks and you MUST WIN THE BATTLE!!!
12.After you win the battle, you will gain 100 levels.

***at step 10, the move you choose to press A on will disappear(gone forever) so choose the most useless attack.

Does it work in Japanese Red at all?

I've never had any way to test in Japanese Red, but there's no reason why it shouldn't.

The Western releases were based on Japanese Blue, with different in-battle menu locations to Japanese Red & Green.

I own jap. red, I'll try it sometime. The move deletion thing is quite cool, a trick for L100s to lose HMs or just get rid of the HM with the level up, Nice! And an easy re-usable Mew trick even cooler.

I can't get either glitch to work on either japanese red or green, not any sign of game abnormality from doing either. What am I doing wrong? Is there anything else you need to do it?

I no longer have the files that I got with the email that I would need to test the glitch. I do have a friend with a copy of Green, and I'll ask him if I can borrow it (when he finds it again..)

Pokemon Green specific glitches ftw!!

Get all the pokemon in green you get mew.

I have a complete pokédex (150) on green without glitches, where do I go to get Mew?

Go to Cinnabar Island. Surf in the water. A Tenatacool should appear. It is actually Mew.
