One of my favourite Pokemon memories was heading out to a shopping mall for the special Mew promotion. It was in 1999, when the franchise was white hot, and the line was massive. They had performers singing songs from the anime, though nobody waiting for their Mew was game enough to join in.
I received two of the mythical creature that day. One would become a staple of my team in Pokemon Yellow, while the Pokemon Blue one was ruined by being relegated to an HM slave. I was not a very intelligent kid, to be honest.
There's not as much coverage on
Poke Tour 1999 as I expected, so I'm a little tempted to write an article about my experience... I don't know if I have much to say beyond what I've already mentioned here, though!
