The Importance of Mew in Café Remix

By now, many Pokémon that become staff members in Café Remix are important with their skills or significance in one way or another. Yet it seems that of them, Mew has a particular or specific importance, especially with the features associated with the Pokémon in this game. As such, I've opted to make a bit of discussion regarding this observation by highlighting those features or aspects that make it as such. 

Perhaps the most important feature or aspect is its puzzle skill. For its regular outfit variant at the least, by obtaining one skill icon and using it, it becomes a useful minor area hit; however, by obtaining two skill icons and combining them, all icons in the puzzle area are hit, clearing them if applicable. This has many implications, one of them being a large puzzle score. As well, with the way Slow Cooking is today, if done there, it instantly fills up the Fever bar and leads to another Fever time that is likely to be in the next stage, provided that doing so clears all icons. Because regular outfit Mew is also of all types, this could conceivably be applied to many puzzles. The Pokémon skill alone makes for a rather apparent importance.

Meanwhile, another outfit (the Fresh outfit) is offered for Mew through an event pass called the Café Opening Pass, and it is similar to the Camping outfit in that it has a five-star skill, albeit with the effects being different from the regular outfit as expected. Even so, the event pass, as expected by mobile game standards, requires payment and therefore the outfit is a paid or even "premium" aspect or feature. Regardless, it seems the aspect or feature is to be available indefinitely and has been as such since it was first offered with the event pass revamp, and that seems to establish its importance aside from the regular outfit as above.

Recently, the game also updated with a new Mew Challenge, displacing the previous implementation, as the way to eventually hire Mew as a staff member by developing its associated menu item. The new challenge involves completing orders and other tasks, appropriately to #151 (as its National Dex number). Old players simply get the rewards and clear the challenge, while new players will need to go through it. In any case, the new challenge and rewards are also further affirmation of the importance of the Pokémon.

Though all Pokémon in Café Remix will likely show how they can become important through certain play aspects, Mew is evidently important in many different ones as above and will likely remain so with them. That continued importance will likely serve players well in addition to any Pokémon that become café customers and eventually staff members.
