-{{bp|Mew}} is considered to be the Pokémon that started the PokéGods craze. Before official Nintendo distributions of it began, many people discovered it hidden away in the coding of the Generation I {{bp|core series}} titles. There was no legitimate way to obtain it in the games, and it was not needed to have a complete {{bp|PokéDex}} by {{bp|Professor Oak}}'s definition, but it was soon discovered as a result of {{bp|glitches}} in the games as well as through the use of {{bp|cheating}}.
+{{bp|Mew}} is considered to be the Pokémon that started the PokéGods craze.  There was no legitimate way to obtain it in the games other than to go to official Nintendo events, and it was not needed to have a complete {{bp|PokéDex}} by {{bp|Professor Oak}}'s definition, but it was obtained by many as a result of {{bp|glitches}} in the games as well as through the use of {{bp|cheating}}.
 At this point, very few people knew of Mew, and of those that did very few knew how to obtain it, so many took to the internet to find out how to get their hands on the elusive Pokémon. Now, this might have been very early in the history of Pokémon, but the internet was not much older. Considering that both Pokémon and the internet were very young, there were very few reliable sources on the internet when it came to Pokémon. Because of this, rumors would spread that many people would take seriously but were very seldom true. Mew was no exception; many rumors spread that there were hidden methods to obtain it. 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|Vermillion City|Vermillion Harbor}} and one would be able to fight Mew by using {{bp|Strength}} on it. [[Mew definitely under the truck, says kid in your class|Bulbanews did a throwback to this rumor on April Fool's Day of 2012.]]
