Pokemon Event News

Hey everyone.
Here is a separate forum to general Pokémon news, as this only contains news on Pokémon events.
A new event has been announced for Japan. A Mew serial code will be distributed with every EShop purchase of the VC releases of Red, Green, Blue and/or Yellow, or for a 2DS bundle with the games. More details will be released later.

Here's the full information on Serebii's website.

Wow, they are serious about the 20 year anniversary

Yeah. They should top it off with a main series game announcement.

Mew will be distributed in Gamestop in the US and EB Games in Canada and Australia. It will take place from February 1-24 after the global monthly mythical Pokémon distributions were announced. I'll release more details as they come.

Crap, need a 3DS, fast

Definitely. Or a 2DS because they're cheaper. I only have a 2DS (and I not a fan of 3D anyway.)

Mew will be distributed in Europe via serial code following the monthly Mythical Pokémon Distributions were announced.
It will be distributed at GAME stores in the UK from February 1st 2016 to February 28th 2016, Gamestop in Germany, Austria and Switzerland from February 4th through to February 24th 2016, Gamestop in Italy from February 1st through February 24th and GAME in Spain from February 1st through February 24th.  I'll bring more distributions as they come.

Anything about the moveset it has?

Not yet, but you always customise it your own way unless it has a special move.

Wow, it would be cool if it gets a special move that is actually usable.

Mew will also be distributed in Belgium and Netherlands from Feb 1 to 24.

Good for them...
