Hello everyone, its my first time here, my name is Akonn and im a huge pokemon fan since i was a kid, im from spain(that's why my english writing kinda sucks,sorry about that).
Im here to search for advice, first of all im going to tell you my situation, a few years ago, i bought a pokemon green copy from a market here in barcelona, with the box and all the artwork, really nice condition, had some scratches but pretty good in general.
At first ive never looked at the savefile cause i dont really cared about it, just wanted the copy to fill my collection, but 6 months ago i wanted to check if the save was still there, to my surprise it was there, i posted in reddit saying(im going to paste the links at the end) i whould check and try to save it buying gb cart flasher to save the file and store the save in my pc in case the battery died so i could later on load it on a new cartridge.
After looking a bit at the save file on my gba ( was kinda hard because i cant read japanese letters) it was really cool looking a team from 20 years ago, seing where he saved last time etc etc, my surprise came when i saw a mew on the team while i was scrolling the pokemons, it kinda confused me because as far as i knew mew was only an event pokemon, i suposed that was one of those mews from events japan had all those years ago or a glitched one, so i posted a pic on imgur kinda joking about the way mew looked, after that i started searching for japanese events from gen 1 in bulbapedia i saw the "Legendary Pokémon Offer Mew", and someone in the imgur pic told me it kinda matched the id and the ot, ofc the mew was lvl 100 the guy who owned the save used it a lot.
Why im here telling you this? Well i dont really know what to do, i cant trade the mew to gen 3 so i cant use it on my games now and i dont really want to lose it, should i go to any place so they can see if its legit? if you guys have any idea or doubts feel free to tell me!
Btw, before buying the game i asked them where they got it, they told me it was from the kid of a japanese couple they where friends from, i think they went to live to spain some years ago, and cause the kid is now a grown man they where selling all the retro gaming stuff he had.
