Evidence (Where I've got ideas to make the rom hack):

In recent years, I became interested the Gen 1 Mew event distributions, and I've tried to recreate the Mew Machine software as a hobby project. While I'm not a developer, I checked the code, experimented, and got help to make it work. My goal was to authentically recreate the experience based on messages around the internet from people who attended the original events, since the actual distribution machines are likely lost to time. I created a rom hack that allows players to receive Mew, as if they had attended the official event distributions. However, I don't have the skills to maintain or update it further for now. So don't expect next releases. This is intended for use on PC or mobile with emulation mostly. To patch the ROM, Beat Patcher is recommended. https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/893/ How to use: 1. Copy any save file from Pokémon Red, Blue or Yellow, this save file should have at least 1 slot in the party available. (Make sure to do backups first just in case). 2. Paste the save file wherever you have the Mew Machine ROM. Make sure to rename the save file to have the same name as the Mew Machine ROM. 3. Load the Mew Machine ROM on your emulator. 4. Write a name for the OT for the Mew you want. (I.e: YOSHIRA, HAMBURG, FINLAND, etc) 5. Once selected, press A to send any amount of Mews (Max. 5). 6. Copy the updated save. Load it back to the original game (Red, Blue, Yellow), now you have Mew(s) in your party. If you don't load a save file the game will display that is empty and will reset as a loop.

This was only distributed on Japan. But essentially every Mew distribution from Gen 1 have the same Individual Values. As for English releases, this are the known OTs: YOSHIRA, YOSHIRB, YOSHIBA, YOSHIBB, HAMBURG, AUSTRIA, DENMARK, BENELUX, FINLAND, NORWAY, EUROPE, SWEDEN, NINTEN, LUIGIC, YOSHIC, LUIGIW, LUIGIE, FRANCE, LINKE, LINKW, MARIO, NAL, AUS, ASH, D-J, UK This Mews hasn't been dumped as far as I know: BENELUX, NINTEN, LUIGIC, YOSHIC, AUS, ASH, FRANCE Also found other Mews but I'm not sure if they're legit due to lack of information: GREECE, SUISSES If you like to play a bit, I also recommend this tool which allows you to trade between Gen 1 and Gen 2 without language barriers: https://bluemoonfalls.com/pages/tools/trade-sim Or just use PkHex and copy some stuff.

You can do this simple glitch, no need to reset the event.

Not yet.

The only known copy of Nintendo Power Surfing Pikachu is in this post: And this one post that hasn't been dumped but it's evidence.

Another French certificate. Link to post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CI05sU_Hziy/

I suspect the Mew Machine used this color palette, while using the SGB menu on bsnes. Also by looking at that moment of the video, I noticed that some text in japanese is blinking on the border, not sure what it says but it's new for me. You can see the text blinking on the bottom: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2zoyzo (32:23)

Nice project! Funny thing is, this year I've made a Pokémon Blue rom hack which visually recreates the Mew Machine (OT name can be custom) but I haven't implemented the part to add Mews to the reciever's party. https://i.imgur.com/8niLNKx.mp4

That proves my theory of the IVs to be false, but that perfectly explains the Defense to be so elevated from 1. (Also for some reason the Defense EVs are very high) Also by looking at both contributions, we can tell that probably the 1000 YOSHIRA "PIKCHU"s were distributed between 4000-6000 Trainer IDs.

Someone has/had a YOSHIRA Pikachu from Nintendo Power. This is just pure speculation, but look how the IVs match with the distribution Mew. An example from a Pikachu raised from LV 5 to LV 24, with Mew IVs, the stats result are very close to the original photo, just by a few points of difference: I suppose this Pikachu was made with the same Special/Mew Distribution Machine, they just changed the Pokémon, nicknamed it to PIKCHU and give them the moveset.

Just a little information regarding Surfing Pikachu.

I can't tell if it's a legit or a hacked one, just shared the picture for archival purposes, I guess the most important step for this is find a way to backup your save file before the battery dies. My suggestion, get a GB Operator, the Joey Jr used to be the most cheap option but nowadays is around $60, GB Operator is around $45. https://www.epilogue.co/product/gb-operator If you can't afford it, contact someone who owns a device to dump the save file.

Don't know if this was shared before, but seems to be the same page but translated, as well a lot of scans and info regarding the event, here: https://pokumon.com/tamamushi-university-magikarp-campaign/
