Unbeknownst to them, game designer and programmer at Game Freak, Shigeki Morimoto, had secretly programmed Mew into the games; Mew was created by Morimoto two weeks before game development was finished.


In 1996, Mew was unveiled, when Game Freak president Satoshi Tajiri used CoroCoro Comic magazine as an experimental exhibition of Mew and distributed the first cards of it for the card game as free giveaways. This surprised many employees at Game Freak, including Morimoto himself.


The experiment was a success and Game Freak publicly release Mew to 151 winners. This helps increasing the game's sale as a result.


As of now, it is impossible to get Mew under normal gameplay as Mew is a event-exclusive Pokémon.


It can learns every TM/HM moves (except the moves that are exclusive to certain Pokémon).


Its base stat are all 100, which is a rarity for a Pokémon. This trait was inherits by Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Shaymin (Land Forme only) and Victini.
