Why is Mew after Mewtwo?

Mew comes after Mewtwo in the Pokédex because Mew was a legendary, mythical Pokémon initially hidden, while Mewtwo was a known, created Pokémon (a clone of Mew) that players encountered and documented in-game first, leading to its #150 slot, with Mew (the ancestor) added later as #151, a surprise final Pokémon. Mew was added last minute by a programmer, so placing it at the very end (151) avoided disrupting the existing code for #150 (Mewtwo) and its in-game location.

Was Mew created after Mewtwo?

Why does 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.

How are Mew and Mewtwo related?

Mew and Mewtwo are intimately linked as Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, created by scientists using Mew's DNA in a genetic experiment, making them "parent" and "child" in a scientific sense, though Mewtwo developed into a unique, powerful, and often antagonistic, artificial Pokémon. Mew is considered the "Ancestor Pokémon," containing DNA of all others, and Mewtwo was engineered from its genetic material to be a super-weapon, leading to their shared DNA but vastly different personalities and powers, as detailed in Pokémon lore and the games' lore.

Is Mew Mewtwo's mom?

Yes, in the original video game lore, Mew is considered Mewtwo's "mother," as scientists found a pregnant Mew in Guyana and experimented on its embryo to create Mewtwo through gene-splicing, making Mewtwo a clone with altered DNA. However, this conflicts with modern game mechanics where legendary Pokémon like Mew are genderless and can't breed, so it's a legacy backstory, with Mewtwo essentially being a lab-created "child" from Mew's genetic material, not born through natural reproduction.

How rare is a shiny Mew?

A Shiny Mew is extremely rare in traditional Pokémon games due to its elusive nature and event-only availability, but it became guaranteed for players who purchased specific paid event tickets in Pokémon GO, making it common for those players, though still rare overall for those who missed those chances. In main series games, getting one involves complex glitches (like the Pomeg Glitch in Emerald) or hacking, while in GO, it was tied to specific paid events like the Kanto Tour, meaning most players never got one unless they paid.

The first Pokémon ever designed and coded into the original games was Rhydon, a dinosaur-like creature (#112 in the Pokédex), which served as a foundational design, though lore states Arceus created the Pokémon universe, while Mew is considered the ancestor of all Pokémon.
