I'm here to contribute a Mew I received during the summer 1999 trainer tour. I went to this event at the Emerald Square Mall in North Attleboro MA. It was one of those events where you could sign up for a tournament and earn little round cardboard badges that looked like POGs. I don't have an exact date, but I do know it happened before the official English release of pokemon yellow, as I remember there being a kiosk where you could try playing yellow for a few minutes.
The distribution took place in a separate area with staff members asking you to make sure you had one empty space in your party (I wish I'd experimented to see what happened if you had multiple slots open.) They took the cart from you, transferred mew onto it, then gave it back to you with an official certificate of authenticity that had the original watercolor mew art on it and your mew's trainer ID.
The OT is LUIGIE- I remember thinking how weird it was that Nintendo would spell Luigi wrong, until I learned that other distributions in that era used OTs like LINKW. I think the E is to denote that it was distributed in the eastern area of the US.
This is from my original childhood Red save file, which I've kept alive over the years using a combination of pokemon stadium, battery replacements, and using my gameshark for GBC's snapshot (save state) feature to preserve my original trainer ID.
I did train this mew up a bit since I was a kid with no impulse control, so it's level 20 with some EVs. I'm submitting it as is instead of trying to use PkHex to de-level it.
