The '''Mew glitch''' (also known as '''Long-range Trainer glitch''') is a [[glitch]] found in all of the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] games. It was first reported in 2002.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20020612061214/http://www.jesseworld.com/Codes/gameGetTesters.asp?platform_id=4&game_id=1066 JesseWorld - Bottom of page.
