Club Nintendo Mew

This Mew was given away to Club Nintendo members from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden who mailed their game cartridges to Bergsala (the Nintendo distributor in the Nordic and Baltic countries).

In Norway, players could not send their cartridges in to obtain Mew during the Pokémon Tour (which started on November 2, 2000), due to the Mew machine being used on the tour.[5] Nintendo Norway claims to have returned the Mew machine to Japan shortly before Easter 2001 (April 15, 2001),[6] although the Pokémon Tour continued until May 26, 2001.[4]

In Sweden, players could send in their cartridges before the Mew on Tour event to obtain Mew before non-members,[7] and could still send in their game cartridges even after the tour was completed.[8] The service that allowed players to send in their cartridges to obtain Mew began sometime between September 3, 2000[9] and November 30, 2000 (the start of Mew on Tour).[7]
