No. 151: Mew

Just when did you start thinking the 1st generation went from 1 to 150?

It's Mew! The lovable mystery Pokemon, and the inspiration for Mewtwo. She's as cute as a button, and NO, YOU CAN'T FRIGGING FIND HER NATURALLY IN THE GAME.

Even if you use strength on the truck.

But so I remember trying to get a picture of Mew in Pokemon Snap. man, that was an ordeal. Why so shy, Mew? You hide in a bubble, and gurgle cute nothings at us, and then when we hit you with apples, you fly away... such a tease...

But Mew is really nice, and in my mind, is the definitive "cute legendary". Screw Celebi, Jirachi, and Manaphy. They are nothing compared to the pure bubblegum sweetness that is Mew.

Also, Mew gets points for being the first truly elusive Pokemon that made it maddeningly difficult to truly Catch them All. Because when your friend had all 150, but you were that lucky bastard who somehow got to an event and you had 151, that felt delicious.

Overall: 10/10

  1. The original design for Mew was a fetus

  2. Actually you can catch Mew in the game. It's not strictly "naturally" but it can be done without having to resort to hacks, or dubious long-winded tricks.

    Since the code for mew is still there, you can trick the game into unleashing a lvl 7 Mew in battle if you follow the right steps
