Catching Mew

How to Catch Mew in Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow
Yes, believe it or not, it can be done without a GameShark or other cheating device. Heres what youll need to do:

Restart your game and play until you get HM02 Fly from the house west of Celadon City.
DO NOT fight the following trainers:

The Youngster with a Slowpoke (Level 17) on the road to Bills house (Route 25). He is the fourth trainer after you cross Nugget Bridge, standing directly above a female trainer and facing north.
The Gambler with two Poliwags and a Poliwhirl (all Level 22) between Lavender Town and Saffron City (Route 8). He is standing just east of the entrance to Saffron City, facing north toward the door of the Underground Path.

Carefully follow the series of steps illustrated below.

Make sure you have a Pokémon that knows Fly. On Route 8, stand in front of the door of the Underground Path. Save your game, since saving after this point will disrupt the procedure.

Walk down one step and immediately press Start. If you succeed, the menu will pop up before the Gambler sees you. Go to the Pokémon list and fly to Cerulean City.
The Gambler will see you just before you fly away.

Your Start button will no longer function. Go north across Nugget Bridge and head east until you find the trainer in this picture (hes the Youngster described above).

If you walk right up to the Youngster, the game will lock up, so you'll have to let him see you and walk up to you. Defeat his Slowpoke (afterwards, your Start button will work again), then fly to Lavender Town.
Head west into Route 8.

As soon as you enter the narrow path, the menu will pop up by itself. Press B to exit...
...and look who it is! Mew will be at Level 7 and its only attack will be Pound. Pokéball, go!

Once youve caught Mew, you can save your game without any ill-effects.

There are two alternative ways to enter Route 8 and trigger Mew after beating the Youngster. If you have access to Saffron City, you can fly there and go through the eastern city gate. Also, you can fly to Celadon City, head east to Route 7, enter the Underground Path, and emerge back in front of the Gambler
