Some else claimed it, but I will keep your post in mind. I'm trying to get more codes this week.

A spare Mew code would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I imagine there are a limited number.
I tried just before I posted and it said that it was under maintenance.
EDIT
Apprently, I had to get out of Mystery Gift and get in again...

You can save in front of her and soft reset for nature/IVs, same as any other Mystery Gift distribution.
Hi,
Since I moved to South Korea with a U.S. system, there's no way for me to get to a gamestop :/ I'm currently asking family members to stop by, but they're not having much luck so far. ㅠㅠ
I am currently retaking a course that's really important since I don't want to waste more money if I fail and I need it to get into another program for accounting. I don't have immediate access to any stores near work and I've spent the last 3 weeks just studying and doing homework or at work. The EBs in my city in Canada run out of these codes so fast.
Since I have no time to go at all I won't have a chance to get this and I'm not even sure if it's Canada too.

Ugh, this is why I hate in-store events. I was in the shopping district because I was looking for the new Digimon game and figured that I might as well hop by the Gamemania (one of the worst stores ever) to get a Mew code.
To make a long story short, I wasn't able to get a code. On the second day of the month >.>
Fuck off Nintendo with these events, they might as well just not exist at all.

Did all Gamestops in Europe get codes? I got Street Fighter pre-ordered at one (Austria), so I might as well pick Mew up when I get it.

Is this the only way to get these Pokémon? Outside of ebay, that is. I'd love to catch them in-game
Because I'm in Europe, and the only Game (store) in this city closed up last year... There's a Gamestop outside of the city, but I'm assuming they've only got codes in the US.
Why can't Nintendo just offer all via Wifi? It's annoying.
So, I'd love a PAL code if anyone's got a spare.

Latin America is counted as the same region as US, so we don't have a dedicated store to grab those codes (since the distribution in the US is handled by GameStop, and there are no GameStops in LatAm).
Even then, when Nintendo was still here in Brazil, there were some events handled by the store FNAC, which is the same store providing the codes in Portugal (or so I heard). My brother even got a Meloetta that way in Gen V.
Really, really a shame that I can't get a code here in my country. I will keep searching and asking for spares, so if anyone has a spare code for US consoles, I would be really thankful.

These are the currently announced Mew distributions courtesy of Serebii and Heragol:
Starts on the 4th.
Edit: added Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Nope! Nice try Game Freak but I'm still not going to GameStop just to find out they are out of stock on these password cards.

Presumably retailers do something for Nintendo, whether that's keep stuff on shelves, pay them a bit or whatever in exchange for getting people through the doors.
Serebii is not correct and missing it. Distribution in Austria and Germany starts on the 4th at every Gamestop.

So you walk in and ask for a Mew code?

Oh, OK. Corrected.
Just checked again. Switzerland is also the same. From the 4th at Gamestop.

Jup and it can unfold into three scenarios.
1. You get the code.
2. You only get the code if you buy something ( holding the code hostage).
3. They're out of codes.

Thanks man, there's Toys R Us and BR Toys here so I can get one myself. But it's a bit embarrassing that it's (child centred) toy stores instead of game or geek stores.

You know what? Screw this Mew event if anyone wants a Mew but never had one I will be passing Mews this weekend at the Pokemon ORAS OT found here:

The only thing you should know is that they will be clones of the MYSTRY Mew that I myself obtained back in 2006 from Toys "R" Us but if that doesn't bother you feel free to drop by and get one from me.

Wait, I can't receive these unless I've completed the game? Uh oh.
I managed to get 2 codes at GAME yesterday (for me and my brother). Still, I am rather wary of the fact that quite a few of the codes will be store-exclusive, even in Europe. While this isn't an issue for now, I'm going to graduate and probably leave the UK in June, which means I'll lose ready access to the latter half of the mythicals. I might have to ask my current flatmate (who's decided to stay for work and because of his current relationship) to get them for me. I suppose if all else fails, I can always make a few visits.

No, you can receive any events from when you get to the first Pokemon Center.

What's this about the "National Dex" then? Scared me a bit. I'm literally on my way to EB/GameStop.
linkandzelda
Member
You don't need the National Dex to receive events. I've received literally hundreds of events without it. If someone said you do need it then they are mistaken.
You need the Pokedex to receive events. Thats it. You get like 10 minutes in.

Can't seem to connect to the Code Server from Mystery Gift, anyone else having that problem? Other Internet services work on my 3DS including the rest of the game itself.
