>>15255119You realize that it was event Pokemon that pretty much shot the franchise into superpopularity in Japan, right? Look up how Mew pretty much single handedly added so much mystery and intrigue to the game (which had pretty poor sales at the time) that Japan went crazy over it and shot its attention through the roof.
GF pretty much has tradition now to hide Pokemon in the cart that can only be obtained through special distribution means. Without Mew, we may not be playing Pokemon today. Check your privilege, scum.
