#at this point i feel like i can play pkmn emerald in my sleep LMAO

[tactician]

shiny mew OBTAINED - and successfully traded over to my na copy of emerald version! i named them 'canto' as a reference to poems/songs as well as the kanto region :D and ofc i had to catch them in a dive ball... (i bought 99+ dive balls for this hunt so, naturally, canto stayed on the very first one i threw.)

i'll probably do a full write-up about how i got this mew at some point jic anyone is interested in the more technical side of things, but tl;dr it involved a full playthrough of a japanese copy of emerald version and then a Gentle Injection of the flags for the event into my game's file (via pkhex... gasp... i know... the sacrilege of it all). i have very loose plans to make canto into a ribbon master - but i'm also procrastinating on my current ribbon masters, so who knows how long thatll take. at least mythicals don't have to brave battle towers until gen7 :')

either way: i absolutely love canto, and finally experiencing this event was ABSOLUTELY a childhood dream come true!!!
