It is the same mewtwo, only one was created, Giovani has no memory and Mewtwo would hardly clone himself. The director has also stated it’s the same mewtwo. It’s just japenese cultural differences. It may be strange to you but women play men in japan… also in soviet russia but that’s a different joke for another time

forgot about that lol

Have you seen mewtwo returns? Ash meets mewtwo again later, and mewtwo decides to let ash keep his memory

I don’t really know. I’m sure it’ll be explained in the movie.

I’m gonna go with this: The “female” Mewtwo is a clone made by the original Mewtwo. Due to something happening to Ash in this movie, the erased memories caused by Mewtwo are returned. Ash sees new Mewtwo and immediately thinks it’s the one he encountered before. New Mewtwo tells him, with a feminine voice, he’s mistaken. It either has no memories itself, but feels like it knows Ash due to being a clone and wants to protect him, OR it heard of Ash from the original Mewtwo… aaand wants to protect him. I dunno. My somewhat of a theory. I just feel like this 16th movie Mewtwo has a female’s voice for a reason.

The scene where Ash calls out Mewtwo by its name is probably used in the trailer due the the fact that Ash is the main protagonist and Mewtwo is a lead in the movie.

Wait, but at the end of the first movie, Mewtwo erases Ash’s memory, so how would he remember?

We’ll see once the movie comes out, but I strongly disagree.
It makes no sense whatsoever to hire a female voice actor for something that is known to sound masculine.
Speaking of backstory, if Mewtwo was able to make clones of other Pokémon why wouldn’t it be able to clone itself?

Seeing as you believe it is the same Mewtwo, can you tell me your source? I’d love a link.
Either way, we’ll find out soon enough, XanderO.

By the way, you didn’t have to reply to me twice telling me the same thing. Once was enough.

Its like gold though considering how the news has been lol

It’ll be a bit weird though evolving it with a moon stone 15 years after they were both in the same game
