i'm confused what youre talking about with your profile... is it the sonic fan thing? o_O although iAM a sonic fan, i never really mentioned it anywhere on here aside from that i used a sonic character maker to create my avatar because i was too lazy to grab some of my art and i hadn't played with the sonic charrie maker in years. but i guess if that's a problem i can change my avatar...? (regardless, you stating that you want nothing to do with sonic fans to the point of ignoring they exist strikes me as odd, but i suppose not really my business.)

big ugly wall of text and confusion aside, grumpyninja's right about the event thing! basically you go into your network settings and change the DNS address of your current network to that of one of the fan-run event servers and then you just can start getting mystery gifts! i've read that this works on everything in the ds family, but my 3ds didn't work with it while my ds lite did, so YMMV. also, if you get a 60000 error, before doing the thing where you delete and re-add your wifi settings like some things suggest, just try a different server's DNS address. some of them seem buggier than others. (unfortunately, i don't have my ds with me right now, so i can't tell you which one worked for me.)

note that if your wireless network uses a certain kind of security (aka anything that the original nintendo ds doesn't know how to connect to) you may have to change your wireless security settings temporarily. i had to do this for my own network, but i think most networks have a web-based settings page so it's not too hard to do as long as you have access to it.

https://www.shacknews.com/article/108512/how-to-unlock-gen-4-and-5-pokemon-mystery-events-in-2018 <- this is one of multiple pages that have instructions for this. seriously, it's pretty cool! one of the events for platinum is even a fanmade azure flute distribution! (though unfortunately, the arceus you get from the hall of origin is not pokebank compatible, no matter how you got the azure flute)

all that aside... the only mew i personally have unless we count gen 1 mew glitch mews is the 20th anniversary year of mythicals mew in pokemon y. (well, i think i also may have gotten a second mew, maybe a shiny, off a trade, but i believe i may have traded it off for a shiny snivy with contrary. i can't check though, because as i said i don't have my ds with me.)
