Pokemon GEN1 YOSHIBA Mew Blue Distribution Cart Save Download

About the Pokemon Gen 1 YOSHIBA Mew Blue Distribution Cart:

This download is for the first ever publicly available savefile that was dumped from an original Pokemon Blue cart, which was used to distribute YOSHIBA Mew by direct trade. The distribution took place at Toys R Us stores in the United States from the 8th to 12th of December 1999. The players who were allowed to obtain a Mew were determined among the first 1500 customers at each Toys R Us store on 26 November 1999, where they were able to receive a special "Peel & Win" sticker card (pictured below). 200 of these cards at each store contained the text "Caught Me!" underneath the sticker of Mew.

The GameBoy Pocked and distribution cart were gifted to Project Pokemon user KurokamiHaruhi, who had the following to say about how they became to be in possession of it:

I was just recently gifted this absolute gem of Pokemon history: one of the original GameBoy Pockets with a Pokemon Blue save file for the YOSHIBA Mew Toys R' Us event.

I got this from my brother-in-law who works with a guy who (apparently) worked at a Toys R' Us at the time of the event. From what I was told, the guy just took it with him after the event ended and has just been hanging onto it ever since then. This guy then was working with my brother-in-law and saw how much he loved Pokemon and decided to give it to my brother-in-law so it'd go to someone who appreciated it more than he did. When my brother-in-law got it he then turned to me (who is also a huge Pokemon nerd lol) and gifted it to me!

No idea what Toys R' Us this is from and I haven't had a chance to really look into all that it has for fear of the battery dying. Since this is a gift and I only have the above story to go off of I have no clue how worn the battery is on this game... But I just recently learned about the Epilogue GB Operator, bought one just to save this save, and finally managed to get the save onto my computer.

Similar to the Pokemon GEN1 YOSHIRA Mew Red Distribution Cart Save dumped back in 2018, every Mew has identical IV stats: 5 HP, 10 Attack, 1 Defense, 12 Speed, and 5 Special. Every Mew in this savefile has the Original Trainer name of YOSHIBA

It "could" corrupt every different language game. During 1st and 2nd gen Game Freak suggested to not trade with different language games (it was written on instructions booklet). But there wasn't certain. So, if you have the ability to make a backup of your game you could try. In the worst case, you can always restore your backup.

Oh i see, thank you for that clarification, i didn't know that it was about every languages.

EDIT : Just found a pdf of the french crystal manual to check if it was printed on the french manual, and there it was in the multiplayer section. I never read the manuals as a kid and should have kept all the cardboard boxes and manuals.

I scanned my actual Pokémon Gold booklet and it is written in the white rectangle
