Now this is something. No info on this, but in the videogames The Old Sea Map was an event item for pokemon Emerald that let you go to an island to encounter Mew. It is also the only time that Mew has been available with a chance to be shiny. So in other words, maybe this is the research for Shiny Mew that’s been announced?
