To celebrate the release of the new Pokemon movie 'Lucario and the Mystery of Mew', Nintendo and Toys 'R' Us teamed up to hold a special event at Toys 'R' Us stores across the US. The event takes place between noon and 3pm tomorrow, September 30th.
In order to receive your Mew, make sure you bring a Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Advance SP (Game Boy Micros will probably not work) with a copy of one of the following Pokemon games.
If you want to get Mew on your Pokemon Emerald game, you must have the National Pokedex, which you receive after beating the Elite Four.
This is one of the rare opportunities to get Mew legitimately in the US. Don't miss it!

So...what about Canada?
Plus, I notice the news says "trade". I'm guessing we ought to put a useless Pidgey on our team to trade.

Also, from the article.

It seems as though it will work like a traditional Pokemon trade using the Game Boy Advance Link Cable. Therefore you must have a Pokemon you are willing to lose in your party at the time of the trade (You better go catch a magikarp!). Also, make sure your game is saved at the top floor of a Pokemon center to save time.

My old games are worthless now.

How backwards do you think we R? (Heh, get it? Backwards R? Okay, forget it.)
Okay, I guess some stores are exclusive to the States but we've had Toys R Us for a long time.
Never mind, I'll check the Canadian Nintendo and Toys R Us web sites.

My brother, despite being 20, is as much of a Pokemaniac now as he was when he was in elementary school so we'll have to check this out. I hope it's available in Canada but I wouldn't be shocked if it wasn't.

Could be worse, there are no T'R'U stores within 100 miles of my place.

I also want Celebi, Deoxys, as well as the special ticket items or whatever I need to get Lugia and Ho-Oh in the GBA games. I guess this is just to promote the new Mew movie though, but still!

You fail. I went to TRU today (not to get a Mew, although I would have if I had felt like digging out a copy of Pokémon again...) and, damn... the line to get a Mew was *LONG*.... I'm glad I didn't wait to get one. I noticed tons of SPs, a few GBA and one kid playing his DS. People of all ages were waiting in line, playing against each other and such.

I waiting for 2 flipping hours to get the dumb Mew. I went there expecting the place to be empty and it was PACKED. Ugh.
All that said...
MEW GET!

If you mean from the GBA games, I'd say Milotic without doubt considering how hard it is to catch a Feebas and on top of that how hard it is to evolve it.

My feebas got stolen out of my car way back when.... Maybe someday I'll get up the nerve to try and find him again.
