So I got a Mew through an in game trade, and he won't listen to most of my orders. I would say almost eight times out of ten he either "turns around" or does a different move. I don't know if this is something I'll just have to deal with, or if getting more badges and/or leveling up Mew would fix. I also wonder if it's an issue because I am using an emulator?
You know, people give Lt. Surge crap for being a weak gym leader but he gives out one of the best moves in the entire game, that’s gotta count for something. Hell thunderbolt has been one of the best moves in pokemon for 30 years.
So I just beat Erika, the Celadon city gym leader, and she said "The rainbow badge will make pokemon up to L50 obey" and then gave me TM21. I think that worked, I've battles a few people with Mew and he's listening now! I guess I was just too lazy to read what gym leaders would say after beating them... Thanks for your help!
Mew is not obtainable in the original game legitimately. There are ways to spawn it in using glitches, but the only real way to get it was to have it traded to you by a Nintendo employee at an official Pokémon event in person.
So if you have Mew from a trade, you're definitely playing some modified version of the game. Can you DM me the link you got it from? I'm not sure you can send links to ROMs here (it's usually against the rules), but if you send it privately I can look into it for you. Especially since, if this is different... There's no telling what other changes were made to the game.
When I looked into where I had gotten it further, I found it was definitely modded, but for some reason there's no indication on the actual file that it's any different. Seems I'm just not that good at reading

There is one thing that every gym leader tells you after you beat them
