You could do it with one copy probably. But this was pre-internet so harder to know about the glitches and such.
I think many people figured out the Missingno shoreline kept some form of "last encounter table" in it, so I wouldn't be surprised some people may have tried to go there right after Mewtwo to chance themselves at more.
Unfortunately we do have that info nowadays, and we know that doesn't work.
Don't forget to try and move the truck, there's a Mew under there I promise, my cousin got it!
The internet 100% existed in 1999 lol
Yeah but not a lot of people actually had it, let alone a computer.
That's a whopping 6% of the american population in 99.
why are you taking this so seriously go outside and touch some grass boy
I can't believe you're still worked up about this. Do you have a life?
In 99 we only had crappy dialup and I didn't really know how to browse the web, even if I sort of understood the basics (and I would have been six, admittedly). My dad would look up cheat codes at work for games I was playing and download the Web page onto a floppy drive to bring home to me. It was wild times.
That to say, the infrastructure was all there, but it's hardly guaranteed as a kid that you're browsing the web and know where to find all the best glitches.
