4th Next Generation World Hobby Fair Mew
This Mew was distributed at the 4th Next Generation World Hobby Fair, which was held at Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo Bay, Japan from August 23 to 24, 1996. They were traded to players via Game Link Cable. Only 350 were distributed per day (700 across the whole event), with recipients selected via a lottery.
This distribution was announced in the September 1996 issue of CoroCoro Comics (which was released on August 10, 1996[9]). CoroCoro stated that players should bring their Game Boy and Pokémon game to the event for a chance to win one of 700 Pokémon presents, but CoroCoro did not specify what the presents were. According to Shigeki Morimoto they didn't dare to convey that the gift was Mew because he thought they would have been inundated by people coming for the distribution.[10]

Legendary Pokémon Offer Mew
Mew was secretly created by Shigeki Morimoto in consent with Satoshi Tajiri as part of an internal prank at GameFreak during the end of the development of Pokémon Red and Green.[13] Originally it was supposed to never appear in-game, but soon after the games were released players found the select bug which lead to the discovery of Mew.[14] Rumors spread and they feared speculation about Nintendo having quality, debugging or management issues. Satoshi Tajiri felt that the situation couldn't be left as it is and suggested the idea of presenting Mew.[15]
The distribution was called the "Legendary Pokémon Offer"[16] (Japanese: 幻のポケモンプレゼント Illusory Pokémon Present)[17] and originally revealed in the May 1996 issue of CoroCoro Comic (which was released on April 15, 1996[18]). Players had to send in a postcard application to Shogakukan CoroCoro Comic by May 14, 1996 for a chance to be one of the 20 players selected to receive Mew.[19] The promotion received approximately 78,000 applicants.[16][10] Winners were announced in the July 1996 issue and received instructions on how to prepare and send their Pokémon game cartridge to receive Mew.[19]
The Mew were procedurally generated by Shigeki Morimoto on his PC. They had Trainer IDs ranging from 00001-00020 and the Original Trainer name コロコロ. He traded them to recipient's Pokémon game via Game Link Cable.[10]
