Mew became the Pokémon to establish the convention with the release of {{pkmn|Red and Green}}. Designed by [[Shigeki Morimoto]], it was initially unavailable and unknown to players, before being revealed by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] in the spring of 1996 on an issue of [[CoroCoro Comic]]. Initially, a lottery was held to distribute the Pokémon experimentally to a limited number of players, while a [[Mew (Wizards Promo 47)|promotional card]] was given for included in the January issue of CoroCoro Comic. Mew contributed to making the series popular because of its mirage nature, with [[Easter_egg#Truck|rumors]] about ways to obtain it being passed on through word-of-mouth. Its success was mirrored in the west with the eventual release of {{pkmn|Red and Blue}}, making Mew a prominent character of the first generation, co-starring in the first animated movie, [[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]. | Mew became the Pokémon to establish the convention with the release of {{pkmn|Red and Green}}.

'''Celebi''' (Japanese: '''セレビィ''' ''Celebi'') is a Psychic and Grass-type Pokémon known as the Time Travel Pokémon. It is referred to as the guardian of forests, protecting and nourishing them as it travels through time. It shares a special connection with [[Ilex Forest]] and the [[GS Ball]], which is referred to as a gift that transcends time. | |||
Introduced in {{pkmn|Gold and Silver}}, Celebi was the second Mythical Pokémon to be released. Created by [[Ken Sugimori]], it was dubbed the "New Mew" soon after being revealed because of its similar size and stats with Mew, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. It first became available in Nintendo Space World 2000 in Japan, with numerous other events coming in the following years worldwide. Celebi was the first Mythical Pokémon to obtain an in-game event in {{pkmn|Crystal}}, through the GS Ball key item, which was distributed over [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. It starred in the fourth Pokémon movie, [[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]] and much like Mew before it attained a cultural phenomenon status within the Pokémon communities. | |||
