Turn off the Game Boy that is receiving the bad Pokemon as soon as the  "Waiting" message disappears. When the "Trade completed" message appears, turn off the other Game Boy. Both games will have the same good Pokemon when they are turned back on. 

Glitch: Find and Capture Mew

You can both find and capture Mew through a glitch in Pokemon Red, Blue, or Yellow. Here's how to find the rare Pokemon.

Before doing this, you will need to have a Pokemon that knows the Hidden Machine Fly.

Two trainers in the game must be free to battle. If you had battled them before, you won't be able to do this glitch: The Gambler and The Youngster must be un-battled. If you've already battled through this area, you'll need to restart your game on a clean save.

Head to Route 8 and stand in front of the Underground Path door. Take a step downward and hit the start button the game before the Gambler Pokemon trainer sees you for a battle. This is the first trainer you need to have freed up -- in other words, you must not have already battled him.

Fly to to Cerulean City and walk up to Route 24 and 25. Head over to another trainer that must be freed up, The Youngster who will be facing north and is to the left of a tree and item. He has a Slowpoke in his party. Make sure you're at the highest part of the route so he walks up to you. Defeat the trainer and fly to Lavender Town. Head west to Route 8 and your menu will pop up. Press B to exit and you will fight Mew. This occurs because when you flew away from Route 8 before the trainer had a chance to fight you, that tricked the game into thinking there should be a fight going on in Route 8. By entering that area, this triggers this fight but with Mew because you flew off before it occured.

Mew will be at level 7 and only know the move Pound. Make sure you have tons of Pokeballs and only save before this technique and after catching Mew! It turns out that when Nintendo made the game and programmed each Pokemon into the game, Slowpoke and Mew each had the same coding at the beginning of their names, hence Mew's appearance here.

The opponent is surprisingly strong: Try to put him to Sleep and throw Great Balls.
