In an interview with @Gamer magazine, [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Ken Sugimori]] revealed that there was originally going to be a Pokémon based on {{wp|Dolly (sheep)|Dolly}}, the first cloned sheep, but was deemed "too controversial". | In an interview with @Gamer magazine, [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Ken Sugimori]] revealed that there was originally going to be a Pokémon based on {{wp|Dolly (sheep)|Dolly}}, the first cloned sheep, but was deemed "too controversial". | ||

While never officially stated, it is implied that the Pokémon produced from [[fossil]]s are created via cloning, as even a small trace of DNA (such as [[Old Amber|the blood inside a mosquito that has been preserved in amber]]) can produce a living Pokémon. [[Devon Corporation]] and [[Pokémon Lab]] appear to have independently created the process around the same time. Fossil Pokémon revived through this method start at level 20 (Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}), 25 ([[Generation V]]), or 30 ([[Generation I]]). | While never officially stated, it is implied that the Pokémon produced from [[fossil]]s are created via cloning, as even a small trace of DNA (such as [[Old Amber|the blood inside a mosquito that has been preserved in amber]]) can produce a living Pokémon.

Cloning in this style also exists in anime, as demonstrated in ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'' | |||

Cloning's most prominent appearance is in [[M01|the first movie]], where [[Dr. Fuji]] creates {{p|Mewtwo|both an enhanced clone of Mew}} as requested by [[Giovanni]] in exchange for funding his primary project, {{an|Amber|a (failed) attempt to duplicate his dead daughter}}, and three test clones of the Kanto [[starter Pokémon]]. Later in the movie Mewtwo itself makes clones of various Pokémon belonging to the trainers that have come to [[New Island]]. All of Mewtwo's clones appear to have been created fully grown, unlike Fuji's clones. All cloned Pokémon (excluding Mewtwo) appear identical to a normal Pokémon of their species, except for multiple black horizontal marks on their bodies. | ||
Mewtwo's clones are also featured in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. The clones are revealed to be fertile (even ones of {{p|Nidoqueen|species normally not so}}), and give birth to offspring who are indistinguishable from normal Pokémon, lacking the tell-tale black markings. | Mewtwo's clones are also featured in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.
