Pokemon: Mew Codes Being Sent Out Via Newsletter Today

Players are getting a second chance to get their very own Mew. The Pokemon Company has sent out copies of their monthly Trainer's Club Newsletter, which contains a unique code to download Mew, the first mythical Pokemon. Mew was previously distributed via codes distributed at stores in February, but this second chance is for players who either missed that promotion or arrived at stores too late. Players had to sign up to the Trainer's Club Newsletter last month in order to receive the email. The Trainer's Club code is good through August 31st.

While the distribution is great for players who weren't able to get Mew back in February, trainers won't be able to grab Mew twice. If a player used a code to get Mew back in February, this new code won't work as it's technically for the exact same Pokemon.

Meanwhile, European players are also getting a second chance at Mew via a much simpler option. Players that live in the PAL region (which includes Europe, Australia and parts of Africa and Asia) can use the code "MEW2016" to receive the same copy of Mew.

Players that already have Mew can still receive their monthly mythical Pokemon by using the Mystery Gift function to receive Manaphy, which is available through June 24th.
