Nintendo of Italy sends you an email with the address you have to sent the cartridge(s) to, so I used that address. As far as I know, Nintendo of Italy is the only representative of Nintendo that offers this kind of service.

I'm presuming you have to call them up / email them to start the process then?

I can't speak Italian, however their's always Google Translate. I'd certainly be interested in trying with an English version of a GBA Pokemon game, i imagine getting Nintendo to post the game outside of Italy will be the hard thing though.

Alternatively maybe someone could send you / someone in Italy an English Pokemon GBA game to try with? or someone in Italy could buy a cheap English Pokemon GBA game on Ebay to try with.

How did you know where to send the game carts to? maybe Nintendo still does this in the UK / other countries for example.

If not maybe we could send a English copy of the game to Nintendo in Italy, I guess if someone outside Italy did that then getting Nintendo to post it back might be the issue there.

That's why i'm hoping eventually the GEN2 games will be released as downloadable games on the Eshop, with Pokebank support.

When Sun / Moon are released it will be pretty awesome that you can import Pokemon from GEN1, i'll finally be able to have my 16+ year old GEN1 Pokemon in a current game, would be even more awesome if that was eventually possible in GEN2, as you could play any Pokemon game and have a legit way of transferring the Pokemon in to the current generation of games.

I am very sorry about that please disregard my earlier post I was not meaning to cause any problems.

No worries, we're all friends here trying to help each other out where possible

Thank you very much for posting This I have been looking for these for years

This is also the same one I posted on February 6 here https://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?33354-Gen-I-II-to-Gen-III-IV-V-Conversion&p=213522#post212234 I also got it from his game save file from the other forum.

I am not trying to discredit you at all, I just would also like some credit too. I did see a link on there when I first found the site with in the past year or so , and when i stumbled upon it again I notched the word attachment so I signed up and download it.

From looking at that thread you didn't post the Mew until yesterday?

Regardless i'm not looking for an argument or even bothered about any credit. The real credit goes to wilykat from the EverDrive forums who i mentioned in my original post. All I did was take a random save files hidden deep in a forum thread, confirm the Mew was legit to the best of my ability and make a topic so it's easily accessible to all.

Another option to be sure to not mess the savefile is to trade it with tgbdual or myoldboy (android).

I used TBG Dual, trading with VBA-M seems to corrupt both save files for me (On Windows 10 anyway), no problems at all with TBG Dual, I even managed to import the Mew in to Pokemon Gold perfectly fine.

I can't trade it to Y version and load in Stadium - "This Game Pak wasn't saved at a POKÉMON CENTER."

And I mean, literary traded, no editors used.

Traded it to R version, still works.

Tried changing OT to some from Bulbapedia, works.

But not trading to Y and importing to Stadium.

Any ideas?

In-game legality Mew check, or maybe Mew wasn't(can't) distributed to Y versions, wrong sav file/dump bytes? Is Mew 100% legit?

PS: I have to set it free, but Pokedex entry, it's not tied to it, Stadium shows I caught it but don't have it on me.

As it works in Red i'd say the problem is probably with Yellow, otherwise it would have been rejected when you tried with Red.

I could get non-cryptofixed versions and have the eShop repair the files, but as is, I'm unable to use the eShop because my system is firmware 9.2.

Which is fine, you have 9.2 so can use the web browser exploit to launch your Gateway and also to launch a custom firmware such as RxTools.

Do you not have an Emunand setup for your Gateway yet? you really don't need to use your 9.2 System Nand anymore. You can boot in to a 10.7 Emulated Nand (EmuNand) with your Gateway or RxTools and use the Eshop as normal. The "proper" file size is actually 9.8mb with the manual, however I believe the manual only works with custom firmware which is why you might find versions with the manual removed that they can work with Gateway.

My System Nand is on 9.2, I have then setup an Emunand with Gateway and installed BigBlueBox (CIA installer) on to the Emunand. I then simply use the RxTools Custom Firmware with Homemenuhax. The end result been I power my 3DS on and it boots directly in to a 10.7 (or what ever the latest version is) Emunand, so I can update as normal, play my legit game cartridges and also install .cia content.

If you use a custom firmware such as RxTools instead of Gateway for example you can also use two incredible useful apps to backup and restore your 3DS and DS save games.

SaveDataFiler - This will allow you to backup 3DS save games from your legit cartridges and CIA content such as CIA 3DS games and Virtual Console content such as the Pokemon games.

TWLSaveTool - This will allow you to back save games from legit DS game cartridges with ease, including games with had additional protection such as Heart Gold / Soul Silver, Black / White and Black / White 2.

With both of the above apps you can restore save games the same way you backed them up, making it incredibly easy to backup and move about DS and 3DS save games.

I realise the above is a bit off topic, however I hope it helps you out with the classic Pokemon games on your 3DS

EDIT: interesting, this is the same mew contributed here 2 years ago: http://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=1690.msg16886#msg16886

Are you kmksoulja?

Yup it's his save / Mew as mentioned. You can only see / download when logged in and registered so i've shared / mirrored the save else where in the hope's it will be around for years to come.

Oh, wow. This is a really important find, actually.

Especially with this option available for the eShop versions of RGBY.

That's my plan, the Mew is already on my 3DS copy of Pokemon red. I hope i'll be able to transfer it over to Moon / Sun along with all my other GEN1 Pokemon I caught 16 years ago.

I might have explained myself wrong.

My whole point was about the fact that getting a legit wvent surfing pikachu will probably never happen (batteries will run out and there was only 1000 distributions, chances are very low).

I was offering information about how to get a legit gen 1 surfing pikachu (not from event, but legit as well) and stating the fact that it was easier to just hack the move into an existing pikachu than getting that pikachu to learn the move via pokemon stadium, since the final outcome will be the same.

Indeed that's what I had done many years ago on my Yellow save, it's the same end result as going through Pokemon stadium which has been the only way to ever get a surfing Pikachu outside Japan for GEN1. So we have the only western GEN1 event Pokemon archived, however GEN1 in Japan had a few more event Pokemon in addition to Mew, including a flying Pikachu:

• Nintendo 64 Pikachu - This Surfing Pikachu was distributed to 10,000 players by presenting a lottery ticket obtained from purchasing a Nintendo 64.
  
• CoroCoro Pikachu (Surfing and Flying) - This Surfing Pikachu promotion was revealed in the October issue of CoroCoro Comics, and the later Flying Pikachu promotion was revealed in the November issue. However, there were only 20 Pikachu available at each promotion.
  
• University Magikarp - This Magikarp with the special move Dragon Rage was available for 20 players through the "Tamamushi University Hyper Test" campaign in magazines published by Shogakukan, along with the rare Magikarp card, which is based on this Pokémon.
  
• Pokémon Stamp Pokémon - Two Pokémon, Fearow and Rapidash, with the special move Pay Day were available through the Pokémon Stamp campaign that ran in various magazines published by Shogakukan.
  

I'd say the chances of any of those event Pokemon ever making their way online and then to an English speaking website such as Project Pokemon are almost none, especially the University Magikarp and Flying Pikachu. Never say never though.

Personally I think GEN 3 was a bit of a letdown, mainly because it was impossible to trade Pokemon over from GEN 1 and GEN 2 games.

For me GEN 2 was my favorite generation, I liked how you could finish playing the main game in the Johto, then go back to Kanto and get another 8 gym badges. The younger me was like "wow thats amazing" as I had no idea that would happen until I actually got to that part of the game. So suddenly I have another half of the game to finish! I remember thinking it was interesting seeing how areas in Kanto had changes from the first generation of games.

If anyone still has a legit Mew, it would be great to distribute, because then we could truly catch all 251 Pokemon forever.

Better late than never: Pokemon GEN1 Legit Mew Save From 1999 ToysRus Distribution :grog:

Feel free to distribute these files as you see fit, so long as the Pokemon aren't edited

With that in mind i've traded the legit Mew from the ToysRus Distribution to your save, other than catching a Rattata to trade the Mew across the save is untouched from your upload: Pokemon GEN2 Legit Mew, Celebi & PCNY Pokemon Save

The Mew contained in this Pokemon Blue save file is legit and was obtained from a ToysRus distribution in 1999.

The first 1,500 customers at each Toys "R" Us store around the United States received a special 'Peel & Win' sticker card on November 26, 1999. 200 at each store contained the text "Caught Me!" underneath, which allowed players to receive a Mew from December 8 to 12, 1999.

Legitimate Mews for GEN1 Pokemon games are extremely rare these days, due to the fact the save games on Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow game cartridges get erased when the battery inside the game cartridge runs out. Luckily wilykat from the EverDrive forums had backed has save game up so was able to share this rare Pokemon GEN1 event Pokemon with us.

I realise this thread dates back 2010, however if you have an Nintendo 3DS running either custom firmware or the homebrew channel this has recently become so much easier to do.

Using the homebrew app TWLSaveTool you can backup / restore DS saves directly on the 3DS totally offline. You don't need to mess about with legacy WEP secured wireless networks, Firewalls, FTP's servers or GBA / DS flashcards.

Essentially you load TWLSaveTool on the 3DS, dump the save to the 3DS's SD card, job done in under 20 seconds! The same goes for restoring saves too. :smile:

Thank you! Pokemon Y is basically finished now. I'm hoping to now eventually get all 721 Pokemon, or a near as possible! :grog:

Hey all!

I've been in to Pokemon since it was released here in the UK, my first Pokemon game was Pokemon Red which I got around January 2000. As it happens I still have my original save game for Red, Yellow, Gold and Trading Card game. I've managed to dump them from my original cartridges so have my saves from 16 years ago safely on my PC (And the 3DS now also!)

I randomly get in to Pokemon for a few months then might not play it for a few years. I've recently finished Omega Ruby minus the Pokedex and am currently at the 7th gym leader on Pokemon X (despite starting Christmas day in 2013!), better late than never i suppose!

After that my plan is to go back and play Pokemon black, then I've completed at least one of every set of Pokemon games released since the beginning.

I've known about Project Pokemon for many years, often browsing the forum so figured it's about time i said hello!

I hope to see some of you around!
