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 2003<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120821140352/http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Mew-glitch Nation Master - Encyclopedia: Mew glitch]</ref>. It is an extension of the '''Trainer-Fly glitch''' to specifically catch {{p|Mew}} (hence its common name). Outside of Mew, this glitch famously allows players to easily catch any other Pokémon in the game and is the easiest way to catch many unique [[glitch Pokémon]]. | The '''Mew glitch''' (also known as '''Long-range Trainer glitch''') is a [[glitch]] found in all of the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] games.
