{{bp|Mew}} is considered to be the Pokémon that started the PokéGods craze. Early in {{bp|Generation I}}, Mew was elusive and few people knew how to obtain it, so many took to the internet to find out how to get their hands on the elusive Pokémon. Many rumors spread that there were hidden methods to obtain Mew in the games. The most popular ones were that one would have to defeat the {{bp|Elite Four}} an absurdly high number of times, or that it was hidden under the truck in {{bp| | {{bp|Mew}} is considered to be the Pokémon that started the PokéGods craze.

These rumors about Mew lead to rumors about PokéGods, other elusive Pokémon hidden in the game data. It was common knowledge that the game had 150 Pokémon, starting at {{bp|Bulbasaur}} and ending at {{bp|Mewtwo}}, but Mew caused players to question if they really had caught 'em all. If there is one elusive Pokémon hidden in the game, why would there not be more? Players began to wonder if there was a whole smorgasbord of Pokémon in the games' data, completely undiscovered. The popular glitch Pokémon {{bp|Missingno.}} also fuels this belief because it lead players to believe that there were going to be other Pokémon in the game that were taken out, which turned out years later to be true; 39 Pokémon were pulled out of the coding for {{bp|Pokémon Red and Green Versions}}. | These rumors about Mew lead to rumors about PokéGods, other elusive Pokémon hidden in the game data.
