All Movie and Premier discs have been preserved to Redump standards by a user named Aringon. While preserving them, a collector contacted him saying he has all PokéROMs in existence (including the Mystery ones). The collector said they would buy a Plextor eventually (and did not want anyone else buying one for them), however it's unclear if it will actually happen. Anyone who has any mystery PokéROMs should contact Aringon.
