Mister Bung: Jun 7, 2004; What about the children foo'?

To add to the Mew stuff from R&B, you could also get a pokemon called 'MissingNo' which was a staticy jumbled sprite that's over lvl 100 and only has (if I'm remembering right) 1 move. If you leveled it up it would reset to 100.
The thing was if you caught it it'd cause all sorts of issues with corrupting sprites, messed up levels and things like that. I only realised this AFTER it happened.

Missingno was not a hoax, that was very much real.

I know, I know, just adding info to the surrounding 'use fly, walk up and down, get mew' thing

This would be great with something like Kinect. I could just imagine a game that secretly takes pictures and video of your living room as you play, only to have you stumble upon them in-game in, say, a serial killer's apartment or something.

THAT would be creepy as hell

Creepy urban legend story in the vein of Pokemon Black.

That is really damned creepy. And more effective than the actual video one I think.
