Mew GF — 2016 UK Virtual Console Event | HOME

Nintendo UK's Pokémon Festival brought a special Mew distribution to The Old Truman Brewery in London on 22 November 2016. This Generation 1 Virtual Console event is identified by OT GF and Trainer ID 22796. It was delivered by a local trade into Virtual Console Red, Blue or Yellow.

What makes this event distinct?

The GF/22796 identity also appears on a separate Generation 6 Mew distribution. This record specifically refers to the Generation 1 Virtual Console version, which transfers into a Poké Ball; it is not the XY/ORAS Cherish Ball gift.

Historical properties

The event's fixed OT, Trainer ID, non-shiny status and Virtual Console origin must be retained. Original full DVs do not make this an official shiny event. No shiny version, custom OT, 6IV spread, competitive EV training or Cherish Ball is offered as part of this historical identity.

Virtual Console and Pokémon HOME

The official route for this Virtual Console event is Poké Transporter to Pokémon Bank, then Pokémon HOME. It is a one-way transfer. This route applies to Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console games; it does not establish an official HOME route for original Game Boy cartridges. The transferred Pokémon cannot be returned to Red, Green, Blue or Yellow.

HOME storage does not mean compatibility with every Pokémon game. A transfer from Bank using a Moving Key requires HOME Premium. A HOME Friend Trade uses the mobile app and requires an eligible account. The specific method offered will be confirmed for the available specimen before this product is published.

Availability and specimen identity

Preparation draft — not available to order. Historical event identity and the software transfer route have been checked. PKTS availability, the specimen's Virtual Console origin and the working delivery method still need confirmation. This draft does not certify that a specimen was redeemed at the original event. If a reconstructed or cloned specimen is supplied, that category must be stated clearly before sale.
