Remember these? Things such as "go the the SS Anne, Surf, then use Strength on the truck to get Mew!" Yeah, there were a ton of them back in the day, Pokemon was young and so were we, we didn't know what to expect from the series, and let's face it, we were gullible, so the rumors spread like wildfire. If there are any others that you remember post 'em! And did you fall for any of them?

Ones I remember, aside from the SS Anne one:
-Use a Leaf stone on Eevee to evolve it into Leafeon (not the Gen 4 Leafeon, a fake one, so it really amused me when I found out the real Leafeon's name). Supposedly you were supposed to use the stone over and over again until Eevee evolved.
-Take a Dratini, a Dragonair, and a Dragonite into Bill's house, a back door will appear, go out the back door, and there will be grass where Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle will appear.
-The pokegods, I still remember fighting the elite four over 12 times in a row without healing at a pokemon center since I had read in a magazine if you beat them a certain number of times without healing at a pokemon center, you were supposed to get the pokegods. It must have been an April issue or something.
-Mew could be found in the Seafoam Islands, guarding the Mist Stone, a stone that was supposed to evolve Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise.
-Pikablu and Raiblu, I can't remember any ways you were supposed to catch Pikablu but I remember that Pikablu was supposed to evolve into Raiblu when you use the Mist Stone on it.
-The guy that you trade a Raichu to for an Electrode tells you that the Raichu went away and evolved. I heard all sorts of rumors on how to find the evolved form of Raichu.
-A secret area north of Route 13, some said this is where you could get Mew, Pikablu, Raichu's evolved form, and the Mist Stone.
-Rumors on how to get Togepi on Yellow (everyone thought it was catchable since it appeared on the special edition GBC), or how to rent it on Stadium.

I fell for alot of them at first, including the Pokegods one (because if you read it in a magazine it must be true), the Bill's house one, the Seafoam Islands one, and tried forever trying to figure out how to get to that place north of Rt. 13. I also believed the evolved Raichu rumors since the guy in the game even told you that Raichu evolved. After a while I wised up, and by yellow took everything I heard with a grain of salt. So I didn't believe all the rampant Togepi rumors, and even refused to believe the real Mew glitch at first.
