Pokemon Blue - Save file w/ Mew from Toys-R-Us Distribution

[NickPKMN]

My old save file for Pokémon Blue with a Mew from the Toys-R-Us distribution in 1999.

Edit: The Mew is in Box 1, for anybody interested.

Now, some backstory for this save file.

I got my Blue Game Pak when I was 8 for my Game Boy Color. I played for years ('98 - '02 I believe), and I
traded with friends, beat the Elite Four (only two times, I was too lazy to fight again :P), completed 
my Pokedex, and more. When I found out about the Toys-R-Us Mew contest, I BEGGED my mom and dad to bring
me to the store close to my home. Fortunately, they did eventually, and since the store wasn't very
popular, when I arrived about 5 or 6 days late, the contest was still going on. I grabbed my "Peel & Win"
card and sure enough, there it was!

"Caught Me!". Just like it said on the Pokémon website.

I was ecstatic! I went to school on Monday that week and bragged about it to all of my friends. I remember
being scared to get into any battles or train my Mew because my friends told me it would run away if it
fainted. Good times.

I wasn't able to get any of the Gen 2 - 3 games (or any other PKMN games for that matter) until much later in
my life (my parents were not very financially stable at the time), but eventually I moved on from Pokémon in 
middle school.

A few weeks ago, I got back into Pokémon, and found my old Game Pak. I played for a bit and got hooked again.
Yesterday, a device I ordered named the Joey Jr. arrived. I used it to dump the rom & save - and that's where
I am now.

If you plan to play on this save file, please take good care of my Pokémon!

Farewell!

Question: Your OT (Original Trainer Name) on the SAV is "Nick". I saw the box full of Tauros and thought, "are these just cloned/genned, lol?" but they seem legitimate, which got me to slightly grin that you (or a friend?) spent time doing that.

 

Anyway, I noticed all those Tauros had the OT of "RED". Was that a sibling/friend, or you on a different cartridge? And in Box 10, I noticed the starters have an OT of "BLUE". Same question: Was that a sibling/friend, or you on a different cartridge? Noticed 3 Master Balls in the Bag as well, so for benefit of the doubt's sake, I'll assume friends/you on another cartridge traded them here, haha? If in the U.S., this Mew had to have been gotten from December 8th through the 12th, 1999. Pretty darn cool since you (in a general sense) had to jump through slight hoops to get this Mew by mailing stuff in, etc.

 

I also assume "Sharon" and "JIM" were friends/siblings? Cool stuff.

 

Side note: Just waiting for Staff/reputable person(s) to confirm the Mew legitimacy for all.

Those Tauros were partly mine - me and my brother were frequent players of Pokémon - he had Red, and I had Blue. After we found out Ash from the anime had 30 Tauros, we decided to do the same thing he did. I believe we both did it on the same game (red) by sharing the cartridge, but I can't recall why 20 of them ended up on my save (presumably just traded them?). The starters in box 10 were traded over by my brother as well as 5 master balls (I used 2, and I'm pretty sure he used a GameShark for those anyways lol). My brother didn't really have his own save going - meaning he probably just started 3 new games & traded the starters with me.

Sharon was a friend & Jim was my brother
