::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).

:::Yes, it's a select button glitch documented from old Japanese select button glitch websites. {{user|Meowth346}} made a brief reference to it on the Azure Heights forums [http://www.math.miami.edu/~jam/azure/forum/buzz/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=001124;p= back in 2001]. Since the glitch was [http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/924467-pokemon-green/49402241 mentioned] on GameFAQs by a "gunbladelad77", Paco81 and I tried to get the glitch to work last April, but we weren't able to get it to work (since we don't have a real {{2v2|Red|Green}} cartridge or a [[Pokémon Blue (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]] cartridge). The game would freeze on the part when swapping the thirteenth item. Relatively recently "ginothepro" made that video on Youtube and posted a thread about it on the [http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6421.0.html GCL forums]. As the glitch seems to manipulate large portions of the Pokédex data, you likely won't be able to get {{p|Mew}} registered in the Pokédex, so you're much better off with something like the fossil conversion glitch.
:::The Pokémon actually depends on the index number of the second type; meaning that you can use it to obtain other Pokémon such as Kangaskhan by using the Flying type (both {{p|Kangaskhan}} and the Flying type share an index number of 0x02). Unfortunately, while "ginothepro" and yourself got it to work on a real game, I still haven't been able to emulate it. However, I got the glitch to work using a slightly different method. I'll expand the section you added to [[list of glitches in Generation I]] and emphasize that it can be used with different types. For reference, I'll attach both videos, including my alternative method (I'd greatly appreciate if you could test it!). I've added some additional information in the comments. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 21:33, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
