I’m guessing that at one point the water was frozen.
So THAT'S where I parked my car!

They actually excavated around the car. It was placed there on purpose to become an attraction.

Well that deteriorated quickly from oops to premeditated environmental vandalism.

I heard if you trade a pokemon early that can use surf and strength and then push the car off the island when you get to the S. S. Anne a Mew appears

My favourite thing is we have discovered it is possible to get a mew in red/blue/probably green directly after finishing nugget bridge.
Its not even that difficult, though catching Abra can be time consuming if you aren’t abusing save states.
I can’t remember which trainer triggers the mew fight, but the basic steps are as follows:
- After beating the last trainer on nugget bridge, go immediately to the left and down, and hunt for an Abra in the patch of grass (avoid the trainer there as they can be used for an advanced version of this glitch later. Make sure you do not delete teleport when you get the Abra.
- Go to the right of nugget bridge. Try and keep the trainers 1 space off screen, and line yourself up with where they will appear.
- Step into their line of sight, and press start before the encounter script triggers.
- Go to pokemon, select Abra, and use teleport.
- Walk back up towards nugget bridge. Once you cross over to another area (eg enter a route from town) a battle will trigger!
- This pokemon will always be level 7, with set stats. Each trainer will always force the spawn of the same pokemon, and when you are able to encounter dittos, you can actually forcefully spawn any pokemon you want based on your Pokemon’s special stat.

Thank you for taking the time to pass the lore on to the next generation in this manner. Your loyalty and hard work will be repaid (by a possible encounter with a Mew in the afterlife, keep your pokeballs handy)

There's an old bus on a rock in the New River in West Virginia. It's a more interesting story than Volvo Island, I think.

He used “cable wenches”. Aren’t they more expensive than OTA wenches.

Hey, if you're in local news in rural WV and only make one typo in a story, you're probably ready for promotion or a job in a bigger market.

Doesn’t it freeze there? It’s in northern Illinois.

Judging by the lower pic, it indeed does.

In this particular case, it probably appropriate to name this place Volvo island on google maps.
However, the ability to name things on google maps is often abused. People have taken to naming all sorts of things after themselves on google maps and it kinda shits me, if I’m honest.

Shits me, too

It’s real. It’s also marked on Google Maps as a “Place of Worship” which I think is hilarious.
