Yes, happy birthday, Mewtwo!
He will celebrate from deep within my masterball.
Happy birthday! You will always be the very best for me, Mewtwo!
MEWTWO is best Pokemon!
I was under the impression Mewtwo was a clone. Mew may have just given birth to another Mew perhaps?
They used the DNA from the baby to make Mewtwo. So technically Mewtwo is the child of Mew that was experimented on. In that game anyway.
In the games, Mewtwo was born after scientists performed genetic experiments on a pregnant Mew that was found in the jungle.
In the anime, Mewtwo is a clone made from Mew cells taken from an eyelash discovered in the jungle.
It’s sad that on a section completely devoted to Pokemon, only one person has pointed this out…
because onl 3 people commented so far f-n kid
agreed, these people don’t know what they’re talking about… smh…
Nope, the journal says they named the cloned baby Mewtwo.
“Give birth” isn’t said here in a literal sense. They didn’t even have a live Mew, just his DNA sample.
In cloning, it’s extremely common to extract an ovum to use as a base cell to implant genetic information in. It is then implanted into a surrogate uterus to develop thus making it possible for mew to give birth to its or her own clone. The games did come before the movie, and we all know how much went out of whack to create a canon in its own right from the games to the anime.
Don’t Pokemon lay eggs, if so wouldn’t that make mew the only mammal. (Besides his clone).
In the game cannon, Mew gave birth to Mewtwo in the lab somehow.
AHPPY BIIIRTHDAY!
I thought Mewtwo was a clone?
They meant figuratively. Although, with current technology, clones are still ‘given birth to’ anyway, the cloned embryo being injected into the uterus of the host when it is still just a handful of cells.
Happy birthday, Mewtwo!
My favourite pokémon ever <3
*hugs*
HB Mewtwo
He should’ve been downloadable today, instead of the 12th
I was thinking the same flarping thing!
Happy birthday Mewtwo!!!!
Happy birthday, king of the psychic!
Too bad Mewtwo was cloned from Mew’s DNA, not birthed.
Mewtwo was created in a lab, by taking Mew DNA found in a fossil and adding human DNA to replace the missing bits. It was grown in an over-sized test tube, and eventually came to be locked away in Cerulean Cave. Mew didn’t give birth to it.
In fact, in the original 4 games, Mew was a mythical pokemon, not even needed to complete your pokedex. It was event only, or you could obtain it using the glitch.
The “human DNA” is Blaine’s, btw.
In Pokémon Adventures, Mewtwo was created from the DNA extracted from Mew’s eyelash and Blaine’s DNA. That’s how awesome Blaine is.
As you can see, we are dealing with a whole bunch of versions, and they are all canon. The image isn’t fake.
I know the image isn’t fake, I have the game. But in both the manga and the show [as crappy as the show is] Mewtwo is a clone, and it’s mentioned in the game that they were cloning a pokemon as well.
I am pretty sure mythical pokemon can give birth (as shown in the mangas and show)
the requirement for this to be canon is simply for mew to have given birth too mewtwo, I am pretty sure the scientists can put mewtwo into the test tube after he is born
But Mewtwo was cloned. It’s stated over and over that it was created from partial DNA found in a fossil.
In some cases, birth doesn’t mean a literal birth from the parent’s womb. I believe that, here, birth is referring to the time that Mewtwo was cloned via mew’s DNA.
No. “Mew gave birth. We named the baby Mewtwo”.
It doesn’t say “Mewtwo was born”. Mew LITERALLY gave birth.
Read up about Dolly the sheep. It’s not impossible to take DNA from a creature and use it to make a clone that the creature will then birth.
Read up about Pokemon. It’s a game/cartoon, not real life.
Cool for you. I’m talking about ways in which “Mew gave birth [to] MEWTWO” can work literally, without the use of the sci-fi trope of clones grown in tubes.
There is no mention of fossil Mew DNA in the games AT ALL. The journals clearly state that scientists found Mew in Guyana. Mewtwo was created from that Mew’s recombined DNA.
Did you ever see “Mewtwo Strikes Back”?
Since when is “Mewtwo Strikes Back” canon with the games?
I know it isn’t. I was just asking a question.
Still, Mewtwo had to be born, so therefore Mewtwo has a birthday, which is the whole point of the meme.
Your argument is invalid.
MANGA ISN’T CANON
(as cool as it is)
Yes it is. Being official, it’s canon. Just as the anime and the games.
Just a lot of versions of the same story.
It is official within it’s own scope, but you can’t argue that because it happened in the manga, it is that way in the game franchise.
Wrong. Mew’s DNA was cloned and mutated.
No kidding bro.
In the real world, clones are created by injecting a modified embryo into a female creature’s womb and letting it develop into a fetus naturally. What the games imply is that Mew’s DNA was altered through gene splicing experiments, then the nucleous from one of the cells was taken and inserted into the ovum created by Mew. This new embryo was injected and allowed to gestate until Mew gave birth.
Derp used Science! It’s super effective!
Guyana, officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, previously known as British Guiana, is a real-world sovereign state on the northern coast of South America that is culturally part of the Anglophone Caribbean. In the Pokémon world, it is known to be that habitat of Mew.
Possibly Faraway Island, according to Bulbapedia.
Except it is not an island, but part of continental South America.
Except that Mew didn’t give birth to Mewtwo. If Mew did give birth, that means there are two Mews in the world.
I think there is more than one mew existence already. It’s strongly implied that mew is an incredibly rare species, not a sole individual.
I have to agree. Mew is just a very rare species of pokemon.
But that still doesn’t mean it would give birth to a Mewtwo. That’s just silly.
In cloning, the clone is injected (while it’s still a zygote) into a uterus and later given birth to. Thus making possible for a mew to give birth to its own clone.
The games are in no way the same as the anime or manga, it it were, Misty and Brock would have followed you around.
Also, you’d need two Mews to create a third Mew… so there would be at least three.
To bad there isn’t a pokémon who can shapeshift into other pokémon.
*Ditto*…
Indeed. Especially since it’s said that Mew is the ancestor of all pokèmon, it’s quite easily assumed that there are, or at least were, more than one.
“Birth” probably just refers to the fact that it was mew’s DNA that allowed Mewtwo to come into existence.
Happy birthday Mewtwo,
Happy birthday Mewtwo,
You’re a genocidal manicac,
and you look like one too.
Actually, Mewtwo is only genocidal in the movie. In the manga, he’s peaceful, mainly focused on protecting his creator Blaine.
Did you even read the manga prior to the capture of Mewtwo??
And even in the anime it’s only until the first movie. He becomes quite benevolent after Mew shows him the error of his ways.
Oh yeah.
Funny thing is, it’s MY birthday, too.
*brofists Mewtwo*
Awesome! *double brofist*
Happy Birthday, then!
me too! since pokemon was released in 1996 and i was born in 1996, we could be twins!
maybe you’re MEWTWO
*throws Master Ball*
Mew cant mate, not even with ditto. If you cant mate with ditto you are pretty much sterile.
Baby Lugia. Your argument is invaild, at least in the anime
Anime. Your argument is invalid.
It’s also heavily implied that Mew is just an extremely rare species of pokemon, and if it were mew’s clone, then it wouldn’t even need to have mated, its genetic information could have been manually transferred into an ovum and implanted into a mew’s uterus. It wouldn’t matter if it were sterile or not.
Whose to say that a mew wouldn’t mate with it’s own species, but the game is only programmed so that you can catch only one mew therefore even if you were to acquire another mew it wouldn’t be able to register breeding mechanics. Troll nintendo.
HB Mewtwo !
How oooolllldddd are you… How oooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllldddddddddddddd are yo-ou… How ooollld are you…
Thank you guys, how did you know it was my birthday
Dear everyone who is contesting the use of the term “birth”:
Please read up on Dolly the sheep and animal cloning. It’s not impossible for the scientists to have used the Mew’s DNA to create an embryo that Mew would later birth. By altering that DNA before creating the embryo, they could create a creature that has the appearance and power of Mewtwo.
Thank you for not being stupid. Thank you so much. :’D
When you clone something, you are still typically impregnating another animal for it to give birth to the new animal. For instance, the plan to clone wholly mammoths involves putting the cloned egg inside an elephant. Therefore, we can guess that mewtwo may have been born from mew and put into the test tube thing after he was born. Regardless, if I was a clone, I would want a ‘birthday’ either way.
Science ftw.
Happy Birthday Mewtwo!
Why are people arguing about this? Just shut up, and say Happy Birthday!
Mewtwo is a p***y, if he was so badass he would come over and smash my head in the keyboafdrgtfu8iuyrtdesrwe4thkuñlpojgky6tyftytyreki09m
I didn’t have to come over, I did that from Cerulean Cave with my psychic powers.
Heya, Mewtwo I heard it was your birthday so I got you a present.
Just close your eyes so it can be a surprise.
*Throws Master Ball at Mewtwo while his eyes are closed*
What a chump.
It’s the strongest Psychic-type in the world, I’m sure it knew what you were planning.
A masterball can catch anything except Mewtwo because Mewtwo can just block it with it’s mind.
Happy Birthday, Mewtwo!
I share my birthday with Mewtwo? Me Gusta!
I’m sure you mean ‘mew gusta’.
this would make mewtwo like 17-18ish right?
well the game was made first in 96, so he would be 16. Happy Quinceanera!
that would be 15, not 16…
as in quince is 15, therefore the 15th birthday.
Happy Birthday best Pokemon of all time!
I do not understand what are you arguing about, don’t you know anything about cloning, just go read dolly’s sheep. son I am dissapoint.
And Rick Astley’s.
And Bob Marley’s.
And my pal Isabelle
at least not bear gyrlls over metwo might drink it is piss
And Axl Rose
Happy Birthday, #150!
This site needs more Mewtwo.
Happy Birthday Mewtwo!
And why are you guys arguing? Clearly the games are different from the show. This is seen in lots of other places as well. Sheesh.
Wait… so I share my birthday with Mewtwo AND Rick Astley?
aaaaaaaawwwwww yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
Happy friggn birthday herpaderp!
Impossible Mewtwo is a clone, and Mew is a genderless pokemon!
Baby lugia
Only in the games… Lugia is a “genderless” pokemon and there was a mother Lugia and her baby in one of the episodes.
all hail the spear-fairy

Incorrect. Mewtwo was a result of a scientific experiment cloning a pokemon from unknown DNA, rumored to be the then fabled Mew. Were Mew to ever give birth it would not have been to Mewtwo.
*Anti-Joke Chickened*
Happy Birthday Mewtwo. Have a prosperous life buddy. Remember all your friends and don’t forget your family.
Clones are still born…
If you really DID read all the diaries on Cinnabar Island (and considering that the manga and the crappy show were made AFTER the game), you know that Mew is genderless.
I think the scientists saw Mew in Guyana, managed to get some of its DNA, and then (as sic as it might seem) used a human as a host (because they never caught Mew). The result of this horrific experiment is a distorted blend of Mew and a human, with the power of the former and the viciousness of the latter.
Mewtwo has spoken. All prior arguments are invalid.
Maybe “Mew gave birth” was a sloppy English translation. Does anyone have the Japanese version? Maybe it originally said something along the lines of Mewtwo being born or something.
Mewtwo’s birthday is exactly a week after mine!
Happy birthday Mewtwo!
Mewtwo is best deity.
I think you are all forgetting 1 very important fact. The scientists never had a mew. Therefor there was no body to impregnate with cloned/mutated mewtwo DNA. Sooo…with that said, how did that scientist even know mew gave birth to anything?
OH GOD I AM MEWTWO
I thought Pokemon laid eggs…
^ Best comment.
If anyone thinks the scientists actually had Mew in the lab, I weep for them. Game Freak even went out of their way to try to show that Mr. Fuji got the DNA from Faraway Island.
No they didn’t. The journal entries state that they discovered Mew, and that Mew gave birth.
Where is everyone getting this “found DNA but never had Mew” thing from?
July 5
Guyana, South America. A new Pokémon was discovered deep in the jungle.
July 10
We christened the newly discovered Pokémon Mew.
February 6
Mew gave birth. We named the newborn Mewtwo.
September 1
Mewtwo is far too powerful. We have failed to curb its vicious tendencies…
Journal entries:
“July 5

February 6

September 1

And the Pokedex entries:
“It was created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments.
Yellow
Its DNA is almost the same as Mew’s. However, its size and disposition are vastly different. ”
So… where, exactly, does it say that they didn’t have a mew?
“Faraway island” is such a vague name for the island, that it could very well be the place in South America.
When gen 1 came out, there was no egg related breeding mechanic, so there is absolutely no reason to assume that they weren’t being quite literal there about the birth, and that they wouldn’t actually have a live Mew.
Contemporary cloning methods do involve a normal gestation process, just with altered genetic material, and live birth is waaaaayyyyy more practical with magic fetus science tubes that don’t even exist.
Honestly, there’s no reason, based on what the games have given us, to assume that Mewtwo is a clone, and not just a normal baby mew that they’ve messed with using science post-birth, and they named it “mewtwo” for the sake of cold, heartless mad scientist brevity.
Even with later pokedex entries, it just talks about ambiguous genetic experiments, and in fact, by calling “gene splicing experiments” horrific… Well, gene splicing isn’t exactly horrific or traumatic to something that isn’t born yet.
Point is, mewtwo has different origins based on the continuity. And the science is ALWAYS stupid. There is no one right and logical story.
i was born on the same day as mewtwo……life=complete
Me too, bro. Best birthday ever.
me too!
dude, im 6 february as wel, i am almighty mewtwo!
Hey, its my birthday too on 6 february!!
I AM ALMIGHTY MEWTWO!!
