I don't know if you were implying this or not, but Mew was not "legally" obtainable in any version of R/G/B/Y without exploiting a glitch. All the other methods you've heard are the ghosts of long-dead rumors. That said, your joke was hilarious.

I use to rent that game like every weekend in Elementary school. Mostly because it reminded me of Dragon Ball Z.

Holy crap! It's like Final Bout done right! I'll have to pick up this game ASAP.

To be honest, that could be done. Easily. I may do that just for shits and gigs, yep, easily:

Along with being "Trainers" they could also be "Pokémon".

NBA 2K10, why? I wanna see a Dragon Ball Basketball game. To be honest I've always wanted that to happen, if you put Dragon Ball abilities in, "For the 3 point-- Ooohh, and Freeza melted the ball with a Death Beam, so close..."

Re-skin Mario Kart! We need a Dragon Ball racing game, with character specific karts. Goku on Kinto'un, Roshi on his spining turtle thing, Bulma on her various capsule vehicles, the Saiya-jin, like Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz, in their space pods, ect.

Not all that impressive, but shows that it could be easily done.

You know what I would love? A Dragonball game with the mechanics of Gotcha Force.

Katamari. With Buu as the ball.

Oh god, I would PAY to play that. XD Do it with the NES Adventures in Dreamland game. The tree boss in the first stage would be the Tree of Might, no editing needed!

Someone actually started doing that, once, with one of the old GB Pokemon games. Never got far, was buggy, and never even got an official sort of release of any type, but it was funny.

And lesse, as for games I think could work re-skinned.... Tekken for an early DB fighting game, of course. Hmm. I think all the other good ones have already been taken....

EDIT
Wait, wait. I've got some! Kabuki: Quantum Fighter. Old NES game. Replace the lead with Trunks. Metroid. Samus would be replaced with Android 18. Mother Brain would be Gero. The side scrolling beat'em up MMPR game. Red Ranger - Tien, Black Ranger - Yamcha, Blue Ranger - Krillin, Pink Ranger - Videl, Yellow Ranger - Chi-Chi.

You mean the one for SNES that involves mid-stage morphing? 'Cause that feature would probably work better with characters with transformations (like SSJ. T.T ).
Now I'm thinking about how it'd work with the MMPR:The Movie game, though. XD

Yeah, that one. XD I never gave a thought to the morophing = transformations thing. I was just thinking to leave it cut out, with the exception of Videl becoming Great Saiyawoman. XD

Edit
Actually, a small recast to that, now that you've given me this idea.
Red Ranger: Goku (orange gi). Morphed: Saiya-jin armor.
Black Ranger: Gohan. Morphed: Great Saiyaman.
Blue Ranger: Vegeta (blue body suit). Morphed: Saiya-jin armor.
Pink Ranger: Videl. Morphed: Great Saiyawoman.
Yellow Ranger: Chi-Chi. Morphed: Chi-Chi in her armor outfit.

I'm not sure why I didn't think of it before but I've been playing Crackdown 2 and a Crackdown like Dragon Ball game would be fun.

Let's mod Super Mario Bros. So you're playing as Goten and Trunks, with the Fireball form as Gotenks.
That's... easy, right? I mean, I have a rom in which the Mario images were replaced with Mortal Kombat ones...
(Ok, so this wouldn't be incredibly dragonball-like... I'd just like to have it. XD. And Goten and Trunks are the most logical characters for stomping on enemies roughly the same size as them, no?)

Make Bowser into Buu, maybe replace the Gotenks Fireballs with Kamikaze ghosts or donuts... Maybe turn Mushrooms into dragonballs?
*Isn't sure what to do with generic enemies*

Namek Hunt!

Play as Freeza, as you hunt down and kill Namekians in search for their Dragonballs!
You will win the game as soon as you have defeated them all, and then you will at last gain immortality and rule the Universe forever!

One Player.
Nintendo Zapper (R) required. Is not included.

Wow! That is some intense action! Do you think you can take it?

He was for a short time. But no pint in delving in small history.
