This card | This card depicts text written in a mixture of {{wp|Runes|Germanic runes}}, such as those of Futhark and Gothenburg, and it also features {{wp|Maya script|Mayan glyphs}} on its artwork. In Japan, the card's lexicon was published in the September 1999 issue of [[CoroCoro]]. The lexicon contained the complete translation of the card's Germanic runic text to Japanese, together with a comprehensive sheet which deciphered the runes into phonetically-corresponding Latin alphabet letters. It also presented the meanings of the four Mayan glyphic inscriptions featured on the card's artwork — ''Enthronement'' (upper right), ''Heritage'' (lower right), ''Birth'' (upper left), ''Death'' (lower left). The card's illustrator is unknown due to its unusual design, though the issue showed [[Kouichi Ooyama]] impersonated as [[Dr. Mason]] from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (video game)|Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. | ||
This card was depicted in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' as the object that started [[Lawrence III]]'s collection. The card was the only object from his collection still in his possession at the end of the movie. This was the second appearance of a TCG card in the anime, after the depiction of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Primeape|43}} in the Japanese version of [[EP073]]. No more TCG cards would appear in the anime until ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]''. In addition, the English [[dub]] had Lawrence III explicitly attributing the card as the start of his collection, in order to better tie in with the ending, as the pamphlet was not available with the American release. In addition, the card was originally meant to play a much bigger role in the movie, although it was largely excised from the film save for its brief appearance in the movie's ending, with Takeshi Shudo revealing | People who attended a [[Wizards of the Coast]] event were given a sheet to read the runes. Based on this cheat sheet, the runes in the middle translate as ''New Species'' while the ones on the bottom translate as ''Little God... or Evil?''. In the 2019 reprint the runes where changed and now can be translated as ''Little Good... or Evil?''. Four symbols in the Holofoil printing behind Mew were said to stand for Birth, Enthronement, Right of Succession and Death. A method to decrypt the runes was also [http://web.archive.org/web/20000815065444/http://www.pokemon.com/news/ancientmew.html published on Pokémon.com], which referenced several other cards to determine what the card says. Due to this card's text being in Runic, this card is one of only two cards to have ever been banned from the {{TCG|Unlimited format}} in addition to the {{TCG|Standard format}}. It shares this distinction with {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|_____'s Pikachu|24}}. | ||
