Trivia

• Shigeki Morimoto added in the Mythical Pokémon Mew in secret near the end of Pokémon Red and Green Versions' development. It has now become a well-known Pokémon and is still distributed for events in the latest Pokémon games. At the beginning Game Freak did not anticipate Pokémon to be that successful.
