Now, this is something. No information about that, but in the video games The Old Sea Map was an event item for the Pokémon Emerald that allowed you to go to an island to find Mew. It is also the only time that Mew is available with the chance to be brilliant. In other words, maybe this is the search for Shiny Mew that was announced?

Bulk transfer updates
RESOURCE ID: batch_transfer_eligible_confirm TEXT:Only {0} Eligible Pokémon can be transferred to the professor? Any Pokémon not eligible to be transferred will remain in storage. You can't undo this action once you transfer. RESOURCE ID: batch_transfer_unique_event_pokemon TEXT: {0} Event Pokémon RESOURCE ID: batch_transfer_unique_included TEXT: Unique Pokémon are included. RESOURCE ID: batch_transfer_unique_legendary_or_mythical_pokemon TEXT: {0} Legendary or Mythical Pokémon RESOURCE ID: batch_transfer_unique_not_included TEXT: Unique Pokémon are not included.

RESOURCE ID: batch_transfer_unique_warning_title TEXT: Your Selection Contains Unique Pokémon: RESOURCE ID: pokemon_info_none_transferable TEXT: None of the selected Pokémon can be transferred.
This is interesting because it seems to generate a report to show how many legendary / mythical Mons you have selected, as well as Event Pokémon.
Only eligible Pokémon will be transferred, and it will notify you if you have no qualifying Pokémon selected.
