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}}. | 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}}.
