Will it be through some sort of online feature that I can do at home, or will I have to drive to somewhere like GameStop and download it there? Or will I have to link up with someone distributing these Pok\u00e9mon and trade one of my own for it?<\/p>\n<p>The reason I ask is because I very stupidly deleted my original save file on my GBA copy of FireRed in 2016, completely forgetting about the Mew that I had on it, which I got from a distribution event at Toys &#8220;R&#8221; Us in 2006. I was trying to catch Suicune, got it down to a sliver of its health, but then afflicted it with the Poison status effect. So I decided to start over, but once I had realized what I had done, it was too late.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I could use an Action Replay or GameShark device to reacquire Mew (plus the other Pok\u00e9mon I missed out on), but I am afraid to do so, as it can freeze or corrupt my game; something I learned with the Action Replay device for the DS, which I used on Star Fox Command, Metroid Prime Hunters, and Pok\u00e9mon Pearl. So I would rather avoid that if I can.<\/p>\n<p>Ergo, I want confirmation that these event-exclusive Pok\u00e9mon will be distributed again in some fashion before I even consider purchasing them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But the most important question for me still has not been answered: will they be distributing event-exclusive Pok\u00e9mon&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":494493,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[81944,5260,226360,225993,23229,74],"class_list":["post-494492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gba","tag-pokemon","tag-pokemon-30th-anniversary","tag-pokemon-presents","tag-switch-eshop","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494492\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
