::::::::''Especially with a little something called copy/paste.'' I hope you realize how condescending that sounds. Anyway, I'm starting to care less and less about what the Mewtwo articles are called/coded since I'm getting through to no one. We have { {OBP|Mewtwo|Original series} } looking like the upcoming template (despite [ [Mewtwo (Original series)|] ] being simpler and easier to type). One last thing about "OS" vs "Original series"… Ask someone who knows the anime but isn't familiar with Bulbapedia what the "[[original series]]" is, and they'll likely tell you that it means the Kanto saga while referring to Johto separately. Why, the animeologists among us know that ''originally'' the anime ''series'' was to end with the first movie and the Pokémon League. Of course, we've made the term mean [[Pokémon: Indigo League]] through [[Pokémon: Master Quest]]. The point is, why argue that "OS" is ambiguous when "original series" is barely less so? Heck, we use the prefix "EP" for the OS episodes despite neither the series being called that nor the creators officially using such enumeration. Most can ascertain that it means "episode," which is a level of ''ambiguity'' we've allowed <small>(not even getting into the ridiculous level of ambiguity that results from using "EP" for 274 episodes in 3 distinct regions)</small>. "Original series" is a term neither the creators nor dubbers use. Really, only the fansites and knowledgeable fans who peruse those fansites do. How come we're so ready to nickname 5 seasons of the anime the "original series" yet unwilling to abbreviate it? --<font face="Segoe UI"><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em">[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="red">IWanna</font>]]BeThe[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="white">VeryBest</font>]]</span></font> 15:35, 16 July 2013 (UTC) | ::::::::''Especially with a little something called copy/paste.''

Meanwhile (M1)/(M01) actually specifies this very Mewtwo from its Gen V/VI [[Mewtwo (M16)|M16 doppelganger]]. The very movie itself specified Mewtwo as a human-engineered Pokémon while the anime only showed its physical appearance and even then it was covered with that armor, something Mewtwo got rid off in the film.

:I... don't see how that's relevant at all to the most recent discussion, so I moved it over to the left side of the page. Are you still on about how Mewtwo's central role in M01 somehow supposedly makes that a good title for the article? If there's anybody that agrees with you, they certainly haven't spoken up so far. (And in response to your call for a vote a few days ago: that's not how Bulbapedia works. You can personally ask individual people to come give their opinions here, but it's impossible to make a mass call for everyone to vote. Bulbapedia isn't a democracy, either; if there's a general consensus, it'll usually be followed, but if there isn't, either the discussion will fizzle out and nothing will be done, or a Bulbapedia staff member will make an executive decision about the matter.)
