All Movie and Premier discs have been preserved to Redump standards by a user named Aringon using a special drive called a Plextor. While preserving them, a collector contacted them saying they have all PokéROMs in existence (including the Mystery ones). The collector said they would buy a Plextor eventually (and does not want anyone else buying one for them), however it's unlikely to actually happen.
