In the original Generation I games, the player could obtain a Mew by using Strength on the truck on the port where the S. S. Anne originally is. However, reaching the truck requires a Pokémon that knows Surf, and this part of the map becomes unaccessible once the player boards and the S. S. Anne finishes her trip. Boarding the S. S. Anne is needed to obtain the HM for Cut, which is required to move forward in the game. There are, however, numerous ways around this. One such method is obtaining the HM and then blacking out by losing to a trainer, thus putting the player at their last Pokémon Center and leaving the S. S. Anne docked as if the player never boarded. The astute may realize that Cut isn't actually required to obtain the Soul Badge or the HM for Surf, and thus another method is just skipping the S. S. Anne altogether. This leaves Lt. Surge trapped inside the Vermillion Gym as none of his Pokémon or the gym trainers' Pokémon know Cut or Surf. In the Generation III remakes, there is actually a line in the code that detects that the player has skipped the gym and makes the battles inside the gym harder. While the reason remains unclear, it is speculated that Lt. Surge gets angry at the player for leaving them trapped inside the gym and thus is more difficult as a result. Another theory is that the Pokémon had more time to train due to the player not challenging the gym in a timely manner, as Lt. Surge was alerted of this fact from the various spies he has planted all over Kanto. Once the player is able to Surf over to the truck, using Strength should then reveal Poké Ball containing a Mew, but it seems to be inconsistent as to the conditions necessary for this to happen. As many players have tried to obtain this Mew but claim that Strength does nothing when they attempt to, the community is divided as to whether or not there is actually a Mew under a truck. One common argument is as follows: "Of course there wouldn't be a Mew under a truck. Mew lives in Guyana. There are no trucks in Guyana." However, in the Awesome Games Done Quick event held in 2016, a speedrunner managed to push the truck away using Strength to find a Mew hidden underneath as seen in this video. This marked the first time someone was able to successfully perform this trick live, thus quelling the opposing view that the Mew hidden underneath the truck was a myth. Recent datamining of the Generation I games revealed that being able to push the truck may be related to a hidden flag in the games' code. This flag is set by talking to the player's mom more than twice. The community has speculated that Game Freak wanted to award players for making sure their mom did not feel lonely, even if it was just in the game. However, a small but vocal minority claim that Game Freak assumed that players who talk to their mom too much are a mother's boy and cannot play the game correctly, so they decided to make the game easier for those players by allowing them to obtain a Mew. This theory is met with strong opposition as many people either think that there is no reason for Game Freak to make the Mew so complicated to obtain if that was the case or are mother's boys themselves and thus take personal offense to this statement.
