  1. You wouldn't be able to tell much just from my profile, but I have autism as well. Was diagnosed when I was 3. Sure, I've had a fit or two in the past, but those are behind me now.

    In the Fall of 1998 Nintendo Power held a contest to “Win Mew for your Pokémon collection!” 151 winners of this contest would be given the chance to mail their cartridge into the Nintendo Power Headquarters and receive it back with a brand-new mew on their game save. Contest winners were notified by mail by 2/28/1999 that they had won the contest, making this the earliest known Mew distribution in the west.

    Recently while browsing reddit, I ran across a post from Th4tGuyUKn0 showcasing his Original Red cartridge that was one of the lucky recipients of this contest. After scrolling through the thread, Th4tGuyUKn0 stated that the battery on the game had not yet dried out; upon reading this I immediately messaged him explaining Project Pokémon and asked him if he would be interested in dumping his game save. Luckily, he was all for it! The only problem was he could not remember which of his five Pokémon cartridges he left the mew on, and did not want to risk draining the more than two decades old cartridge battery by checking. Th4tGuyUKn0 graciously decided to send me all of his cartridges so that I could backup the saves and hopefully find the mew.

    With the amazing research done by @suloku on these save files, we are confident that we have found the Mew in question. In the Pokemon Blue game save we discovered a Mew with the TID 51273 (the same Mew ID# printed on the back of the cartridge) and the OT ‘MARIO’. Suloku has concluded that this Mew is definitely legit. It shares the exact same DVs as the YOSHIBA Mew, matches Mew machine distributions data-wise, and has the same OT Nintendo character naming convention that several forum posts from 2000~ reference. While this does raise questions about what distribution the supposed ‘NINTEN’ Mews are a part of, this Nintendo Power Mew is most certainly legit. Suloku was also able to find the Mew in the red save file as a deleted Pokémon (moved or deleted pokémon can be found in box savedata if it was not overwritten by another pokémon being stored in the same slot).

    Attached is the the .pk1 of the 1998 Nintendo Power 'MARIO' Mew. Thanks very much again to Th4tGuyUKn0 for sending and trusting us with these cartridges and Suloku for all of the great research, none of this would have been possible without them. Happy holidays and enjoy!

    Shouldn't this Mew be added to the gallery? Izza back after a hiatus.

  3. Please note, this is only of your own opinion, so the Pokémon you trained may actually not be the best Pokémon to train. Although it's OK to discuss why you think otherwise here (as that's one of the main points of this topic).

    So, what was your best Pokémon you have ever trained in your career as a Trainer?

    Having to rely on a second program sounds like a great solution to the problem, but having it in one program sounds better. Sadly, my coding skills are nowhere near enough to help contribute to the team, but I won't mind testing them throughly. What do you mean by the "latest commits"? Are you saying it was updated to address those problems with in the last few days? How about met level issue?

    All those issues were fixed with the latest version on GitHub. (You may need to compile the source code first, however). The link to it should be on the main topic that PKHeX has on this forum.

  5. I find the soundtrack to HGSS being meh at best.

    My absolute favorite generation is tied between gens 3 & 5.

    Gen 3 due to the region & pokes.

    Gen 5 due to the story & soundtrack (it has some of the best music ever composed for the games, if not the series in general).

    ORAS brought me back to the very games I got gud in, but now I'm trying possibly one of the hardest romhacks I've ever played, Rutile Ruby, which basically brings basically my home region into the competitive scene, & cranks the difficulty to 11. Wherever you are, @Dio_Vento, you sir made the region even better (I'm not really caring about the flaws it has atm, but you did an epic job with what you had on hand (and geez, I didn't think Roxanne could be THAT hard).

    I increased the poll limits and added Popplio as an option.

    As for my vote... that'll have to wait. There's too many good choices. Too bad Riolu doesn't count, since that's an option in 2 Mystery Dungeon games.

    Then again, Riolu was never a starter to begin with, so he has a point with leaving it out.

    Hi, I've just found a bug on the rutile ruby legit build, on route 110 when you fight the woman in a red dress the game crash with a glitched screen and an error, i disabled game patching in luma and now the game doesn't crash.

    Is this in the Luma 7.0+ install method version? I'll have to test that in the future, I've got it right here so I can probably test that on the CIA version.
