Manufacture: Pokemon
Copyright: 1995, 1996, 1998 Nintendo (instead of Nintedo)/Creatures inc./Gamefreak inc.
Year: This promotional pamphlet was exclusively released in Japan to commemorate the theatrical run of Revelation Lugia (known in North America as Pokemon: The Movie 2000) on
July 16th 1999.
Type: Japanese CORRECTED Card
Sub-Brand: Pokemon Promo 2ed Movie
About: It is a common misconception that there are only two versions of this card in Japanese, yet in fact there are THREE Japanese Ancient Mews. Japanese Ancient Mew I (Error), Japanese Ancient Mew I (Corrected), Japanese Ancient Mew II.
This is an easily distinguishable card – not only was it the first in production, it is the only one in the series with a printing error. In the copyrights, what was originally supposed to be “Nintendo” was mistakenly printed without the “n”, causing it to read “Nintedo”. The manufacturers caught the printing error late in production, re-releasing the promotional pamphlet with a corrected version reading the proper spelling Nintendo.
The holofoil design in this card was strikingly unique compared to the standard holofoil. The entire card possesses a speckled, fresco shimmer. When scanned, this design is very visible and has very little or no gloss.
Although this card is undeniably popular and rare, “Ancient Mew I (Corrected)” is just as challenging to find.
