  Pokémon and Nintendo Offer Limited Distribution To Celebrate Tenth Anniversary of Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version
  
  BELLEVUE, Wash.—October 12, 2010—It has been 10 years since PokémonTM fans first visited the Johto region in the Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version video games. To commemorate this historic occasion, Pokémon Trainers can get the Rare Psychic-type Pokémon MewTM for the original titles’ remakes, Pokémon HeartGold Version or Pokémon SoulSilver Version, for the Nintendo DSTM family of systems via a Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection distribution event October 15 through October 30, 2010.
  
  At first, it was believed that there were only 150 Pokémon. As #151 in the National Pokédex, Mew was the original secret Pokémon, revealed for the Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version video games. Over the past 12 years, Mew has very rarely been attainable, making this an extraordinary opportunity for Trainers across the nation.
  
  The Mew character you will receive is a Level 5 and comes with one basic Normal-type attack, Pound, giving Pokémon Trainers the ability to raise and train Mew as they see fit. Making this distribution especially exclusive, Mew comes inside a Cherish Ball and has a Premier Ribbon, both indicating that you got it via a special event.
  
  During the limited distribution period, players will need to receive Mew using the Mystery Gift option via the Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection service and their existing wireless broadband Internet access, and will need to acquire the Pokédex in the game. Players must also have fewer than three Wonder Cards in their game.
  
  This historic distribution event is only available for a limited time. For more information, players should visit The Official Pok.

  Nostalgia.
  But I don't have a copy of this game so I'm going to skip the event.
  I wonder if the Mew is tradeable...

  I don't remember who, but one of my friends with Diamond version quite literally had like 5 boxes full of shiny legendary Pokemon.
  He was trading them on the WiFi network too, he got two Arceus while I was at his house :X
  
  He says he beat his first gym battle with a level 100 Celebi.

  Yay Mew.....
  
  Oh, and, people, dont, dont, import pokemon from GBA games, why? Its just lame, thats why, with Wifi, all DS pokemon are more common, a legit mew on emerald is way rarer then one on Heart gold.

  My friend imported Dittos from Emerald.
  That's how he got all those legendary shiny pokemon from Japan :T

  I think Dittos were unavailable in Diamond/Pearl so they were very valuable (all purpose breeding).
  The WiFi trading is global so my friend would get Pokemon with Japanese names.
  He liked shiny, he had a lot of Red Celebi and Kyogre.
  
  On a side note you can't change foreign names unless you level your pokemon, thus level 100 pokemon are stuck with those names.
