Pokemon's Mewtwo - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. Furst

In this video, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets, Easter eggs and history of Mewtwo. Mewtwo drives from another Pokemon, Mew, but also inspired the creation of the non-canonical Pokemon MechaMew2, which appeared in the Pokemon Live! Mewtwo has also appeared in games outside of Pokemon, such as the Super Smash Bros franchise. Through our analysis of Mewtwo, we hope to show some of the more interesting facts from the making of the game and have its history explained.

“I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.” - Mewtwo, Pokemon: The Movie

The first mewtwo movie is so nostalgiac to me. One of the first movies I remember watching

0:16 Did you notice how Venusaur and Charizard use their Red and Blue sprites while Blastoise and Mewtwo use their Red and Green sprites?

aw man no mention of Mewtwo's rather depressing origin story in the anime? or the fact that in the Japanese version of the movie Mewtwo is angry at the fact that he is not created by God there fore he is not supposed to exist? or how about the short movie based Manga where Mewtwo developed a father-son relationship with the scientist Fuji who begged Mewtwo to kill him and the lab so that Giovanne's plan of making a Mewtwo army cannot succeed. The killing of his own father and brothers sending him unto despair? the fact that this is the only anime Pokemon character to receive his own tv movie? This character has so much history man! edit: or the fact that Mewtwo was inspired by Earthbound's end boss?

I would like to think I'm one of the most obsessed Mewtwo fans in the world. I knew about the multiple origins, the data hidden in Brawl, him being one of the most requested additions to Smash (goddamn right!), and even the MechaMew2 (still hoping that thing's somewhere in storage, I'd like to own it someday.)

But even I didn't know he was hidden in the Game Boy Camera before his official release. I learned something I didn't know about Mewtwo - well done, DYK.

"Mewtwo was created by a single scientist."
*Shows a random single scientist, obviously implied to be the one to make mewtwo

[DarknessPrevails]

Mewtwo is a THICC boi and I love him. I always saved that master ball for him.

*Sorry, Zapdos*

This could only mean... we get a dykg for every Pokémon

I had this hypothesis that Mewtwo and Mew's dynamic could be partially modeled on the relation of Tetsuo and Akira, from the manga Akira. Mew/Akira are child-like but incredibly powerful psychic entities that draw the attention of groups that want to replicate its power. Their results, Tetsuo/Mewtwo, are more mature-looking and aggressive beings that seek their predecessor to fight.

I wish they had mentioned that Mewtwo's design was likely inspired by Giegue from MOTHER/Earthbound Beginnings

[aztrix]

It would've been so dope if MewTwo's Final Smash would give you a 50/50 split between both X and Y. That way, if someone wanted to main MewTwo, they'd have to learn how to play both versions of it's Final Smash. That, or let you decide which form you'd want when you select him (like when you select a color)

2:16 yeah okay sakurai, that explains why ganondorf is still the way he is right now.

[gamerfreak]

You are AWESOME for showing my TAS footage. Thank you!!!

[klop]

1:26 I just assumed this was trash talk. "Why am I bothering to fight you guys when I know I'm going to win?". Could be both, I guess

[SirNile]

Anyone else agree that Mew should be readded in future titles as a possible legendary to capture?
The fact it might genuinely become hard to obtain aside from events might be discouraging.

[deezy_sf]

I got chills when he mentioned that "Mew" was the first pokemon trademarked, it being the ancestor of all pokemon.

[TaliesinMyrddin]

The thing I find weird about Mew, Mewtwo even in the first games was supposed to be a clone, wasn't it? But Mew was added in secret by a programmer without the rest knowing?

Did he design Mew himself or just slip it in or did the Mansion diaries actually just vaguely call Mewtwo a creation rather than a clone?

1:12 People give Cloud and Dark Pit crap for being edgy, but Mewtwo is like a parody of himself.

[thoseobnoxiousaliens]

I think it would be cool if Mewtwo's final smash was different in each version of Smash 4

Mega Mewtwo Y (Wii U)
