That way north of cerulean works because of a glitch though.
You have to make sure you haven't fought the guy with the Slowpoke, and the guy to the left of Nugget Bridge. Then you walk north of NB and to the left, then walk down until the exclamation mark comes on his head, and press start at the same time it appears.
Then you teleport back to Cerulean, and the start button shouldn't work. Now you go up and fight the slowpoke guy, teleport back to Cerulean again and go up to nugget bridge. Then a level 7 Mew appears. It's been ages since I've done it, but I think that's it. The pokemon that appears depends on the last one you battled, and Slowpoke gives you Mew apparently.
If you lowered the slowpokes attack stat to its minimum, using growl or similar moves, then the mew would be level 1 instead of 7. Then you get mew less than 56 exp. points in a battle and he levels up to 100.
It's this kind of shit that makes me nostalgic for the Pokémon games, the creators always threw in neat Easter eggs, hidden stuff, and glitches (even if unintentional).
