Mewtwo Forme… or Something More? What We Know

Smash has just finished airing and the Official Pokémon site has just updated with the brand new Pokémon, leaked earlier in the week. Gameplay of the new Pokémon can be found below.

The Pokémon shares many similar traits with Mewtwo but isn’t quite the same, which would suggest it’s not perhaps the form we all expected it to be. The newly discovered Pokémon is suspected to have some connection with Mewtwo however, perhaps something a more than a forme? The Official site also mentions how Mewtwo was engineered for battle and it’s sheer power and how a new chapter begins with this new Pokémon. It’s probably also worth noting the the site refers to it as an individual new Pokémon, rather than hinting it being a forme.

We really don’t know a huge amount about this new Pokémon, but from the official information given there’s a lot of room for potential speculation. There’s information to both suggest it is a form of Mewtwo and that it is something entirely different and perhaps not even a legendary Pokémon at all (it’s only referred to as a Pokémon, rather than Legendary Pokémon like Xerneas and Yveltal).

It’s definitely uncertain exactly what this Pokémon is, and it’s just another question we all have about X & Y, but what do you think or want this Pokémon to be? A Mewtwo forme? A descendant of sorts? A completely new Pokémon? Or something entirely new? Get discussing!

  1. I imagine this is going to be another experiment to clone Mew, perhaps with a slightly different goal than last time. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s named Mewthree, though I don’t like the spelling so I’m not sure. Either way I’m sure it’s not a forme or evolution, but definitely related to Mew just as much as Mewtwo.

    • It’s either an evolution of Mew (while the clone of Mewtwo came close to it’s natural evolution) or it’s a team who have tried to perfect what team Rocket did. I’d laugh if team Plasma carried over into Gen 6, would be interesting to have a new big bad team.

    • I don’t think it is gunna be called Mewthree BECAUSE:

      Of Porygon, everyone thought the 3rd evo of Porygon was going to be called “Porygon 3” but they were wrong, hence Porygon-Z.

      • You make a very good point, and I hadn’t considered the Porygon line. Maybe that one rumour is (coincidentally) on to something with the Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y (or was it Mew X / Mew Y)? Either way, I’m mildly interested to know where they take this. Thanks for pointing that out. 😛

  2. So disappointing. I waited 24+ hours for this reveal and it was a single pokemon and not even a new pokemon, an alternate form. I was hoping for new type or new pokemon not this… I am very disappointed.

  3. The site literally says : “Now a newly discovered Pokemon appears in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y” leading me to assume it’s not a form but an actual new Pokemon. As long as it’s not a form, i’m happy.

  4. : A press email from The Pokémon Company International says the following:

    “ This new Pokémon shares many traits with Mewtwo and it’s suspected that the newly discovered Pokémon has a connection with Mewtwo—a powerful Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue.

    What is this new Pokémon? How will you encounter it in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y? When will you know more? One thing is clear, your readers will certainly want to debate the meaning of this new Pokémon! ”
    -Source Bulbapedia, so its not really labeled as a “form” but as a new pokemon in its own.

  5. I actually really like the in game battle footage of the Pokémon, id prefer it not to be a new forme of mewtwo and be a similar yet different pokemon. This is a perfect time to introduce a new clone of mew to explain the similarities. The new chapter begins has me fascinated. Loved that little story on the official Pokemon site.

  6. Maybe its a Pokemon Mewtwo created. He created clones of other Pokemon in the first movie, maybe he cloned himself for whatever purpose.

  7. When Mewtwo first came out, cloning was in the news a lot, wasn’t it?

    I kind of think Gamefreak has picked up more source material since then… iPS cells, perhaps?

    • of course why do you think they bring a first gen pokemon back because he has something to do with dna xy used in clones this if you have dna xy in the game and xyz of air and ground and deep then there are 2 theories of xy in this game if you think (srry for bad english)

  8. You know what’s kind of nice in addition to getting this interesting Pokemon? (Interesting as we know nothing about it) I like seeing all the older Pokemon in battle and the moves designs too.

  9. It may have something to do with Genesect as well, why woul they make Genesect out of all pokemon be attacked by this new pokemon, also note why Mewtwo is involved with the 16th movie.

    Reply
    • I think that has to do with the fact that they were both engineered by human hands as oppose to naturally, which is why Mewtwo feels the need to intervene.

      Reply
    • …Why would they make it attack Zangoose, of all Pokémon? I guess a connection to Zangoose is now also confirmed.

  10. I’m hoping this is a third Mew Pokemon and not just a new forme. Never was a huge fan of formes so one less would be great.

  11. I wonder what this Mewtwo look-alike’s voice’ll sound like.
    I remember hearing Mewtwo’s Japanese voice for the first time in Super Smash Bros Melee when you’d switch the voices over to Japanese. Mewtwo’s voice was pretty bad-ass. Hopefully, they kept the same voice actor for the upcoming movie.
    Hearing “Mewthree’s” voice would give us a feel to its personality. I’m looking forward to that.
    I’m also looking forward to the next Super Smash Bros, because Mewtwo seems to have a chance at making a comeback, along with its new buddy.
