Why is Mew a Mythical Pokémon?

Mew is a Mythical Pokémon because it's incredibly rare, a secret late addition to the original games, has lore as the ancestor of all Pokémon (containing their DNA), and was historically only obtainable through special events, fitting the definition of a Mythical Pokémon as a super-rare, powerful creature tied to Pokémon lore rather than just in-game quests, unlike most Legendaries. Its legendary rarity and connection to the creation of Mewtwo cemented its status.

Why is Mew considered mythical?

Mew was a species of Pokemon which Arceus created. The Mew then mutated into the other species of Pokemon barring the man made Pokemon and several legendarys. The only reason that Mew is special is because most of the Mews turned into other Pokemon meaning that there are only a few Mew left.

Why is Mew the ancestor of all Pokémon?

Mew isn't the absolute first Pokémon (that's usually Arceus), but it's considered the genetic ancestor of all Pokémon, containing DNA from every species, which is why it can learn any move and was the basis for cloning Mewtwo. In-game, it was a hidden, mythical Pokémon, a mysterious secret adding to its legendary status, but lore-wise, it's the "origin" or "father" figure from which all others evolved or were modeled after, making it the first in a biological sense, even if Arceus created the world.

Why did Mewtwo hate Mew?

Mewtwo's initial hatred for Mew stems from jealousy and a deep identity crisis, seeing Mew as the perfect, natural original from which it was artificially created, leading it to despise its own cloned existence and view Mew as a symbol of everything it's not, fueled by its traumatic creation and abuse by humans. In the Japanese version of Pokémon: The First Movie, this antagonism is amplified, with Mew attacking Mewtwo, viewing clones as inferior abominations, while Mewtwo fights to prove its own worth.
