#How to get pokemon bank to work with red and blue code
Redditor TransgenderPride laid out the incredibly convoluted process, which involves “setting up arbitrary code execution” from within the game itself, in a post on the Pokémon subreddit. Luckily there is a way to give that Mew all the traits that will let it pass through the system, including changing its original trainer name and ID number. Pokémon Bank finally lets you transfer Pokémon from Red/Blue/Yellow to Sun/Moon, true, but the servers try to block any Pokémon they detect as illegitimate - and considering the only way to get Mew has always been through special official events and distributions, a Mew caught in a random encounter on Route 8 at level 7 is nothing if not illegitimate. Once you have a Mew, it’s not as simple as transferring it to the newly updated Pokémon Bank application on your 3DS. It even works in the new downloadable versions of Red, Blue and Yellow Nintendo released on the 3DS eShop last year. The original guide to do it is here, and there are countless others on YouTube and elsewhere. It’s extremely complicated and kind of amazing.Įxecuting the glitch that lets you catch Mew in Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow in the first place is by far the easiest part.

And although the developers really don’t want you to, it turns out there is a way. Of course the next goal is to get that glitched Mew into the most recent games, Pokémon Sun and Moon. Many players grew up among rumors of finding the elusive 151st Pokémon, Mew, underneath a truck by a dock or by beating the Elite Four 1,000 times in a row in the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. What those players might not know is there actually is a fairly easy glitch that lets you catch a Mew in the wild in those games.
