Don't you just need 2 copies? One to hold the Mewtwos and another to keep doing new games?

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.
Don't even need a new game. You could clone pokemon by turning the game off mid-trade. My school had a kid that got a Mew from an event, then cloned it for everyone who wanted one.
this was basically me for a while, had a team that was all deoxys forms named after 4 of the spice girls + two Arceus named after the last spice girl and Barack Obama
Which spice girl got to be arceus?
Which plate was Barack Obama holding? Come on, be honest now.
This is gangsta shit
The trick was to clone Mewtwo in a later Pokemon game, trade that to a "middle man" Pokemon game that was compatible with Red and Blue, and BOOM all Mewtwo gang!
