Some of you may know my username from other places such as GameFAQs or Reddit - most will not.
I was a rather prolific helper of people on Gen 1 Pokemon back on GameFAQs up until around the time of Generation 4, and indeed I still pop in to look on occasion.
Those of you who know me from Reddit will recall that I posted that I may well have the rarest piece of physical merchandise in the UK - being an authentic and completely un-worn staff uniform from the UK "Pokemon Summer Day Camp" tour in 2007. As for how I got the cable, the Aura Mew distribution at the event in Glasgow on the 2nd of August (The first ever distribution of the Aura Mew in the UK - and the ONLY Scottish distribution date) was initially cancelled due to "technical difficulties" - until a staff member saw myself and a friend playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance round the side of the tent. It transpired that the Nintendo representative had brought a Universal Link Cable (Gameboy Color / Pocket specific) to a GBA distribtution - so naturally it didn't work. The staff asked me to speak to them round the other side and asked what I would like for my link cable (which was a third party 4 player cable - a detail I left out on Reddit and on my Youtube video covering this - the cable had had come from a pound shop GBA bundle). I joked that I would like one of the Nintendo DS Lite hats the staff had. The Event lead went to a nearby van and a minute later I was given the staff uniform top and 2 hats. One of the hats went to the friend who attended with me, as he had arranged the transport. I have no idea what has since happened to that hat as I lost touch with that friend about a decade ago.
Anyway, I have kept the staff uniform - and the original bag it came in over the years, and decided to look into it a couple of months ago, then found out that aside from one 2007 topic on Smogon, there is absolutely zero photographic evidence of the staff uniforms on the internet - other than the photographs I uploaded of my own items to IMGUR several years ago. I also still have the original Pokemon Ruby save file and several of the very first Mews that were distributed from that event as I had to make sure the staff knew how to use the 4 player cable correctly for the distribution. This means that I have the very first Aura Mews that were ever distributed in the UK.
My reason for signing up here? If there is interest, I still have the save file on Ruby. The save file ALSO has an Eon ticket scanned in courtesy of the same friend who'd attended the 2007 event with me, as he had been the one to import the E-Reader and an Eon Ticket back around 2004 or 2005 - This makes it quite possibly the only save file in the world to not only have the Eon Ticket, but several event-distribution Pokemon which required attendance at in-person events. EDIT : The save file also contains quite a few secret bases from my other cartridges - as well as other people I mixed records with back then. However, the most interesting parts of the save file are the Eon Ticket and event Pokemon, such as the Aura Mew.
I have 2 different ways to back up the save file - using the GBA Backup tool I have on my original DS R4 card, and the Gameboy Operator. If there is interest, I can make a fresh backup of the save and upload it here.
