::I know that I'm posting this three years later, but I just tried the glitch and it is real.  It's a Select button glitch like the Dokokashira door glitch.  What you do is put a Magikarp into the 1st slot in your party, then go into Items and press Select on the 13th item, then press B twice.  Then get into a battle and go to switch Pokémon, and press A next to Magikarp.  It will become Mew.  However, I would highly advise against doing this (especially now that the Mew glitch allows you to get a Mew), as this causes major glitches and messes up the Pokédex, items, and possibly other things.  Mew's name becomes a string of seemingly random characters, and (on my game at least), her ID No. and Original Trainer change as well so you can't rename her.  She does not have Mew's attacks (I don't know what determines her attacks... in my game she got Fire Punch).  I'm not sure if her stats are correct or not, but her HP is glitched, and she has a ton of experience (sending her into battle will level her up to level 101).
::Glitches to the Pokédex include the following:
::- Some Pokémon that you've never seen become registered as seen, and some become registered as owned
::- Some Pokémon that you have owned become registered as not being owned, or not being seen
::- Some Pokémon that you've seen become registered as owned, or not being seen
::- Some empty spaces become registered as owned (you can't view the Pokédex entries for them though)
::- Mew does not show up in the Pokédex... instead slot No. 151 becomes registered as owned, but remains an empty space
::- A slot No. 152 appears as seen with the name ketsuban (MissingNo.) next to it.  When viewed, it displays as No. 000
::As for items... the item in the first slot becomes glitched.  Also, you can go below the Cancel button.  There, the screen starts to get glitchy.  You can view items you don't have (some can even be used), and you can see some of the beta items (Coin and ?????) and items that don't exist (they're just made up of random characters and glitched symbols) [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 18:12, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
::Edit - I was just playing around with this glitch some more... it turns out that you can turn any Pokémon in your party into Mew as long as Magikarp is the first Pokémon on the list.  Also, supposedly it doesn't even need to be Magikarp, just any Pokémon with either Water as its only type or Water as its second type (although I haven't tried it with anyone other than Magikarp).
