I remeber reading about a promo where they gave you MEW in japan, I remeber seeing pictures and everything... Was this game ever dumped? Edit found a link revealing its existance http://nindb.classicgaming.gamespy.com/dmg-aps.shtml Also im refering to the GB version not the GBA one
They also did it in the US and UK in the GBA era: http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Toys_%22R%22_Us_to_distribute_Mew And the details of what happened in the event are here: http://pkmn.net/?action=main&page=viewnews&id=602&PHPSESSID=b5901ec4f824b7a97212b842cedb31a4
This classic (Game Boy) Mew program was not copied, I think. Actually, it was not running on a GB, but on a Super Famicom (yep, the Japanese SNES)!

The German "success" screen (on the client's GBA) has been redrawn from a photo over here (source). English text: I'm looking for event cartridges, though. If anyone has one, let me know, I'm paying GOOOOOOOD money for them. :icon_bigg
