10 Famous Gaming Secrets (That Never Really Existed)

3. Catching Mew

Game: Pokémon Blue and Red

The Secret: It's possible to legitimately find the 151st Pokémon, Mew - under a truck!

Spurred on by the popular phrase "Gotta Catch 'Em All," players were driven to obtain every single Pokémon in Blue and Red. Across the game, there were 150 Pokémon available to capture, but many believed that a 151st existed in the form of Mew.

It was true that the Pokémon was part of the code, but only available through cheating or at an official Nintendo event. Rumours of finding the little creature under a truck outside the S.S. Anne were proven false, and Mew was never intended to be captured legitimately.
