If you've noticed, at the beginning of the show, you can see Mewtwo flying through space. He shouldn't be too hard to notice. ^^

Mewtwo was even a movie star. He had a movie(two, if you want to count the "Birth Of Mewtwo") all about him and Mew. Eventually, Mewtwo was created by Cinnabar scientists(and Giovanni ^_^), for an experiment. SooOooOooo, Mewtwo was wondering why he was created and why was he here, and so the scientists told him that he was an experiment and was not a natural creature. So Mewtwo got angry and blew the whole lab up.

So he got angry and wanted revenge on humans, even Mew. *shrugs* You could say he's the villian of Mewtwo Strikes Back, but at the end he turns all soft and stuff. ^____^

Eventually, before Mewtwo Strikes Back, there was a movie called "Birth of Mewtwo"(I didn't watch it, but I got some information from some sites and I listened to some clips ^_^ They were in Japanese!). It was something that Nintendo didn't want us to know. -_-; The whole story was about Mewtwo, and well, how Sakaki(Giovanni - I'll be using Japanese names in this part) wasn't Team Rocket's leader last time. It was his mother. @_@'

Anyway, Mewtwo was created with another clone, called Aitwo. She was the clone of a scientist's daughter who had died in a car accident few years ago. She became his friend, and taught him everything she knew about the human world. Together with them, the scientists created clones of Hitokage(Charmander), Zenigame(Squirtle) and Fushigidane(Bulbasaur).

However, the four of them(Ai, Hitokage, Zenigame, Fushigidane) weren't like Mewtwo and they disintegrated into tiny bits. They were gone forever. And...*sob* Mewtwo was left calling out to Ai, because he didn't know what death was.

So, the whole saga begins.

In the game, he can be found in the Unknown Dungeon. However, the dungeon can be accessible when you have become the Pokémon Master of the world. He doesn't have a random-encounter. Just like Zapdos, Articuno & Moltres, he's just waiting for you...

In the Pokémon Mansion you can read some of the journals describing Mewtwo in the game.

In the game, he comes at L70. This is his attack list :

Swift (Start)
Barrier (Start)
Psychic (Start)
Recover (Start)
Mist (L75)
Amnesia (L81)

He's one of the best Pokémon in the game, and he has the highest Special ever(330 pts). @_@


My Opinion : Although Mewtwo is considered famous because he has a movie out, and probably most of the people playing the game has Mewtwo in their team, I find him rather ignored. :( He's portrayed as an evil Pokémon, but I don't think he is. :( I have a liking for "neglected" Pokémon and no doubt, Mewtwo is one of them.

Hence I chose him as a mascot for my site. ;)

Nonetheless, he's still a cool Pokémon, and I enjoy raising my own Mewtwo. I mean, my first reaction when I saw Mewtwo was -

"Oh my god...he's so CUTE!"

Full of mixed feelings there, since I liked Mewtwo's guts to even try to defeat Mew, and I hated his voice(yick!). *shrugs* And a lot of people hate him because he's portrayed as an evil Pokémon and well...he's a mutant cat, sort of. And that's why I like him. ^_^ I happen to like mutants.
