  Having an event Pokemon available for 3 hours is such a Pokemon move

  Watching shiny mew transform into the shiny opposing Pokémon is so cool!

  My single most impactful Pokémon memory was BEGGING my mom to take me to Toys R Us for the 3 hour Mew distribution after a soccer game when I was 8. I still have that Mew on my copy of LeafGreen til this day. This is still so much cooler. What a special shiny to have!

  Fun fact! Prior to po go/vc crystal, shiny mew/ditto tranforming was the only way you could legitimately see a shiny celebi

  You’d think after that Shiny Prof Oak challenge, he’d be turned off from ANYTHING having to do with Shinies.

  Well now you've GOTTA Ribbon Master this thing. Imagine how extremely exclusive it would be to have not only a legitimate shiny Mew, but a Ribbon Mastered legitimate shiny Mew.

  For future reference, both Bulbapedia and Serebii have individual pages for every existing move and they always include the Japanese name with its proper characters near the top of the page, right next to the English name.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMFuqRtmN5A&amp;t=105">1:45</a> I honestly love how universal these sorts of things are. Like you don&apos;t even need to know Japanese to know he&apos;s hyped as Frick to have this event item!

  You said this challenge took about 40 hours to complete, but you missed the chance to say &quot;this challenge took about seven years to complete&quot;

  Having Shiny Mew transform into any shiny is a pretty nice detail
