 Across the [[History of Pokémon|history of the franchise]], several '''new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}''',  also described in official media as '''newly discovered Pokémon''' and '''never-before-seen Pokémon''', have been revealed in various ways before becoming available in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}.

+===Generation I===
+Less than two months after the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} in Japan, the first brand new Pokémon species to be revealed was {{p|Mew}}, appearing in the May issue of [[CoroCoro|CoroCoro Comics]] released in April 1996, thus bringing the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|total number of known Pokémon to 151}}. The issue featured a promotion allowing 20 players to send in copies of their games to have Mew added by Nintendo. Mew was later made more widely available through {{pkmn2|event}}s soon after the international release of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
+Before its official reveal, Mew was discoverable in the [[Generation I]] games in the games' code and through [[glitch]]es.

 ===Generation II===
 [[File:Ho-Oh Debut.png|200px|thumb|{{p|Ho-Oh}}'s first appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
+Not long after the franchise began did new Pokémon first start to reveal themselves. An unidentified Pokémon appeared in the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997, and in the United States on September 8, 1998. It was seen flying over a rainbow by {{Ash}} on his first day as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. The Pokémon, later revealed to be named {{p|Ho-Oh}}, was first revealed in the August 1996 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine.<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro96-8.html</ref> It was the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in any [[Pokémon]] media, and was the first sign that the franchise would expand beyond the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|original 151 Pokémon}}.
+A month later, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Slowking}}, and {{p|Donphan}} were revealed in the May 1997 issue of CoroCoro.<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro97-5b.html</ref>

+First seen as a silhouette in the December 1998 issue of CoroCoro, {{p|Lugia}} is first fully shown off in the May 1999 issue alongside {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Elekid}}, and {{p|Bellossom}}. {{p|Ledyba}} was then revealed in the June issue of CoroCoro, and later appeared with Hoothoot, Elekid, and Bellossom in the Pikachu short ''[[PK04|Pikachu’s Rescue Adventure]]'' shown alongside the second movie, ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', which released in Japanese theaters on July 17, 1999 and North American theaters on July 21, 2000.
