Copy items, level 100+ pokemon, and a strange creature

Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

Put the item you want copied into your sixth item slot. Now, fly to Viridian city and talk to the old man who teaches you about pokemon (he is in the upper left of the village). Say no to him so he will show the pokemon-catching demo. Then, fly to Fuschia City. Surf down and to the left (past the swimmers) and you will come across an island. If you surf up and down its edge, you will eventually find a pokemon called missingno or m. Whatever you do, just kill it. If you catch it, strange things may happen to your game (your elite 4 status may get screwed up). After you fight missingno, the item in the sixth slot will have over one hundred items, indicated by weird symbols as its quantity.

Instead of surfing on the island by Fuschia, you can also surf on the right coast of Cinnabar Island, on the area where the land meets the water. Either place, you may find pokemon that are at or above level 100. If they gain experience, they will revert back to level 100. You can also trade them without injury. It is thought that the possible level 100 pokemon and the name of the glitched pokemon may depend on the name of your charater. Beware of this glitch, however - it PERMANENTLY messes up your Pokemon hall of fame. Also, if you catch a pokemon similar to missingno labelled "-M-" and send it to the computer, your game will freeze when removing it.

Catch Safari Zone Pokemon outside of the zone

Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

This is similar to the copying items glitch. Go to the Safari Zone and fight some Pokemon. Now, leave and fly immediately to Fuschia town. Make sure you don't run into any other Pokemon in patches of grass. Go downwards and then surf down and to the left, past the swimmers. It's okay if you fight some wild pokemon in the water. When you get to the island, surf up and down the right edge of it. You will encounter some safari zone pokemon and be able to catch them normally! This works with most patches of grass... if you hang out in the grass and fight pokemon there and then go down to the island, you will find the same pokemon.

If you use up all of a Pokemon's pp for one move, then store it in Bill's pc, then immediatly take it out and have it healed, some of its stats will have increased! This even works with Pokemon at level 100.

Glitch World

Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works.

Go to Safari Zone and pay 500 pokebucks to enter. Then, leave as soon as you enter. When he asks you to leave, say no. Do this one more time (the leaving, saying no, and then re-entering). When you're back inside the Safari Zone, save the game and turn it off. When you turn it back on, it may start to minorly glitch, but it's perfectly harmless. Now leave Safari Zone. When you exit, instead of asking if you want to leave, the man will ask if you want to join the hunt. Say no. Then go any place outside of the Safari Zone. You can wander around town, or Glitched Symbols recommends to go to Cinnabar Island and surf up and down on the right side where the land touches the water. After 500 steps, the PA will come on telling you that the safari game is over. You'll be transported back to Safari Zone. Leave and you'll be in the Glitch World.

This glitch world tends to differ by game and where you were before the PA stopped you. I find you get the largest city by being on the Cinnabar Island coast. The map will say that you're in whereever you left off; not outside of Safari Zone. Make sure you have a pokemon that knows how to fly or you'll be stuck there unless you turn the game off. The city will be made up of lots of symbols, such as numbers, parts of buildings, caves, and Japanese characters. If you press start, the symbols will sometimes change to other symbols. If you walk too far to the left, you'll get stuck, and then if you pause everything will turn to water. If you surf there, most of the land will disappear. You can surf on what land is there and if you go too far away, the land disappears altogether. If you go farther to the left, you'll hit land, but'll eventually get stuck for good. So far, there have been no side effects known for doing this.

Get Mew

For the longest time, pokemon gamers have been trying to get Mew. Now, you can get him! Unfortunately, you can not be done with the game to do this.

You must do this glitch before you get fairly far in the game... you have to basically be at Cerulean city. Go onto Nugget Bridge, and defeat all the trainers except for the trainer in the grass to the left of the bridge. Also, you can't have fought anyone in Misty's Gym yet. If you don't already have one, catch an Abra (I think they should be in the grass by the trainer you have to leave alone) and keep him in your group. Go directly above the trainer in the grass, while he's off screen. Slowly step towards the trainer, and right when you can see him, hit start. Save before you try this, because if you can't hit start before he sees you, then the glitch won't work. Using your Abra, teleport back to Cerulean City. The trainer should notice you and stop you, but then you'll teleport away from him. Go to Misty's Gym and fight the first trainer. Now, go back to the Nugget Bridge. The start menu should pop up for no reason. Push B and you'll fight Mew! You can save at any point during this whole glitch.

But wait - you can still catch another Mew! Clear a way to the kid with a Slowpoke facing up, but don't fight him. Repeat the teleport thing with the trainer in the grass to the left of the bridge, but this time make your way to the kid. IMPORTANT - he must walk to you, so go to the top before going in front of him. Go back to Cerulean City after the battle, and in the same spot as before, the second Mew will appear. It may be possible to catch other rare pokemon, such as one-time-only pokemon with this glitch.

A battle sequence initiating without being in grass? Hmm...
Mew! Yay!
