==Ambertwo's death==

When and where did anything ever say that Ambertwo and the other clones died from "exhaustion due to being a clone" in the birth of Mewtwo or anything for that matter. It is not explained why they die they just do to my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong. Also, wo said the will of a human isn't as strong as the will of a pokemon? If thats truw then the Ambertwo should have died first, then charmandertwo, followed by Squiertletwo and bulbasaurtwo, and that didn't happen.[[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 01:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:As Jmath, JSFighter or anyone else has thus far not said anything to explain their added unlikely info, I have changed it back to what it last was. But I'm pretty certain that it never gives you the reason as to why they died at all, so even what I cahnged it to still seems rather wrong.--[[User:Tails Clock|Tails Clock]] 13:27, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

==Computer Attack==

''Italic text''A computer attacked and killed him to protect the scientists, but Mewtwo quickly regenerated and destroyed the island and everyone on it. 
''Italic text''
When did that happen?

It apsolutely DID NOT kill him! Nor did it even intend to. Those robotic arms were ment to restrain him, not destroy him, but as InuMimi said; he made quick work of them. [[User:Artbender|Artbender]] 22:45, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== Gender ==

I don't think Mewtwo's gender should be "none" since it's unknown if genderless Pokemon apply in the anime, and therefore, not 100% confirmed. In fact i think it's very unlikely that it's genderless since there was a female (mother) Lugia in the series, so it should be "Unknown" ([[User:GT4GTR|GT4GTR]] 11:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC))
:I think we should go a bit further and addend the "unknown" and add "likely male" since all of Mewtwo's voice actors (even the Japanese ones) have been men. Also, I believe Mewtwo was referred to as a 'he' in the anime; and in the article Mewtwo is referred to as male. -Lord Hyren 04:44, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
::Well, if Mewtwo was referred to as a "He" in the anime, go ahead and change it. However, I just want to mention that VA's aren't exactly a determining factor of whether a Pokémon character is male or female. I mean, Ash's VA in almost all versions was a girl, and Ash IS a Guy. <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] ([[User talk:Weedle Mchairybug|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Weedle Mchairybug|contribs]]){{ #if:  | &#32;{{{2}}} |}}''</small>

:Even though I think Mewtwo is a male, unless it is confirmed, it should be unknown. Also, we need to remove the gender specific pronouns in articles where the Pokémon's gender is unconfirmed, such as this.--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight the ampharos]] 00:01, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

If Mewtwo's gender is listed as "Unknown" in the infobox, then why is he constantly referred to as "he" in the actual article?  We should either list him as male in the infobox, or refer to him as "it" in the article.  I'm not really sure which, because although I personally think he is male, I recall the characters in the anime referring to him as "it" several times.  [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 11:52, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

It was the trainer's pokemon who were named Bruteroot and Shellshocker. That's why Ash said: "I don't have a name for it, but I will use Charizard."

==Disable==

Mewtwo mentions disabling the special abilities of all the Pokémon just before the final fight. Doesn't this mean that it used the move Disable? And if so, shouldn't that be added to the Moves Used section? [[User:Mattachu|Mattachu]]

== Childhood memories ==

"The cloned Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur look extremely similar to their cloned evolved forms. Mewtwo also mentions when it introduces them to Ash, Misty, Brock, Fergus, Corey, Neesha, and Nurse Joy that it also had a Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur, and that they evolved, which hints that it may have cloned them from its childhood friends."

I am questioning this, because as far as I remember, when the first movie was done (July 1998 Japan), the prequel about his childhood didn't exist yet. The prequel story first aired as a radio drama (September 1999) and much later as a short anime. Furthermore, in the prequel it says that all memories from his childhood were erased. {{unsigned|Aicona}}
:That "prequel" was part of the original Japanese movie that the failsacks at 4Kids cut to make Mewtwo "more evil". I mean, come now, we can't give something like that a heart. We can't make its anger be of misunderstanding. It's gotta be evil.

*Stares blankly at TTEchidna* Your being sarcastic, right? Mewtwo is not evil and his anger <i>is</i> of misunderstanding and hurt.

Anyway, I think it was mostly Amber he was focused on when they erased his memory, so EVERYTHING about her disappeared, but he vaguely remembered the others because they were not his main focus as they brain-wiped him. This is just my idea though, there's nothing to back it up. [[User:Artbender|Artbender]] 22:54, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== Mewtwo's Where-abouts ==


Does anybody know where he is exactly? I mean anime wise. By the end of Mewtwo's Return it states he lives in a far away city, but I've also heard he's traveling the world. Has anyone heard any confirmed info as to his where-abouts? 
XDDD Yes, I know it's a stupid question but I'm a huge fan of Mewtwo. [[User:Artbender|Artbender]] 05:12, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
:It can pretty much be concluded that Mewtwo is just traveling the world in solitude.  There's not much else he can he do at this point.

I've heard that the city that Mewtwo is standing over at the end of Mewtwo Returns, is the city that amber was born in (the one that Ambertwo showd him in the Origien of Mewtwo short). I have my doughts that it's true but if anyone can confirm this it should be added to the trivia. [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 01:12, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

== psychic balls? ==

seriously? no mention of the special pokeballs that mewtwo uses in the first movie? I came here looking for information about them, I don't even know what they're called. I'm guessing they're called psychic balls but since I have no information about them at all that is purely guess work and I'm probably wrong anyway. if any one has any info on this let me know
:The Poké Ball page would have been a good place to check. Its the third bullet down in the anime part of {{DL|Poké Ball|Other variants|this section.}} It probably could be mentioned on the page, but if we put too much detail then we'd risk getting a play-by-play synopsis of the movie. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#A1871F;">Werdnae</span>]]</sc> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 04:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

==Location==
'At the end of the ordeal, Mewtwo erased Giovanni and his soldiers' memories of him, and decided to move throughout the world searching for the meaning of his life.' -- A quote from the article.

==Error on Article==

'''Quoth the article:''' "...Ash was caught in their crossfire and turned to stone. After Ash is revived by the tears of the nearby Pokémon, clone and original alike, Mewtwo experiences a change of heart and stops his destructive rampage. Wanting to find himself, Mewtwo erased the memories of those present and he and his clones left New Island for Johto. 

'''A few years later''', Giovanni found Mewtwo's hiding place via one of their satellites and began a plan to capture him once again. However, this plan was foiled when Mewtwo again met with Ash..."

==Mewtwo's attacks==
This says that Mewtwo used Counter and Disable in Mewtwo Strikes Back... I don't remember either of them being used.  I have no idea when he would have used Counter... and as for Disable, I guess that's referring to the fact that he stopped all of the Pokémon from using special attacks in the fight?  I'll admit, that did happen, but I wouldn't say that that's "Disable".  Disable "disables" one attack from one Pokémon, not all the special attacks of every Pokémon in range.  Unless its effect differs in the anime (which is possible, since a few attacks have been shown to have different effects in the anime than the games).  But another reason I don't think that it was "Disable" was because Ash's Pikachu was able to use an electric attack on Ash after Ash was turned to stone.  If Pikachu was "disabled" then he wouldn't have been able to do that.  Unless the disable wore off, but if that was the case I'd think that the other Pokémon who were fighting would have had their disables worn off as well and would have started using special attacks on each other. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 20:10, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
*They were used. [[User:AquaMaster|AquaMaster]] 20:24, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
::What I was trying to ask... is when were they used?  I remember the Counter now (he re-directed a Hyper Beam).

==Pokémon 3: The Movie==
Mewtwo can be seen in one of the Japanese trailers for Pokémon 3 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maL-tyDMux8 ).  Does anyone know... was he originally going to have a cameo in that movie... or was that just in the trailer as filler?  Is this worth mentioning... maybe as trivia?

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Striking_Back_Mewtwo_(10th_Movie_Promo) Likely an oversight given it's a Japanese promo, but it mentions the far less notable Dragonite based on his messenger in the TCG section. ;p Seems most, if not all, of the other cards from that promotional set aren't listed on their respective basis' pages, either.

since mewtwo is gonna reappear in the 16th movie, can we have a section of it. {{unsigned|Dragon146}}

We currently don't know for sure whether or not this specific Mewtwo will reappear in the 16th Pokemon movie, but if it does, then yes, we should have info on Mewtwo's role in that movie. If the Mewtwo in said movie is a different one, then no, as the information will not apply to this Mewtwo. Regardless of whether or this Mewtwo will make a comeback in the future, I think we should wait for the film to come out before we add anything to this article. [[User:Uncle Edit|He&#39;s here!

*Oh, one more thing. Even though it says on Mewtwo's infobox that it is genderless, wouldn't it be more fair to say it's "Gender unknown"?

**"Genderless" is our standard terminology. The games are the source material, so if the game says it's genderless, it is. Your reasoning is understandable, but the simple fact that Pikachu (a male) is voiced by a female actress contradicts it. It works the other way, too; Meloetta looks and sounds like a female but is definitely (not supposedly) a Pokémon with no gender. Looking/speaking/behaving like a certain gender does not make a Pokémon that gender. --<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> 10:21, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

So we know that the Mewtwo in [[M16]] is not this Mewtwo. I suggest that this page be moved to "Mewtwo (M01)".

::::Well, we'll have to get used to "OS" either way. If "{ {an|Mewtwo} }" becomes defunct, are we going to do [ [ Mewtwo (Original series|Mewtwo ] ] and [ [ Mewtwo (Best Wishes series)|Mewtwo ] ] every single time? We'll probably end up with something like "{ {os|Mewtwo} }" and "{ {bw|Mewtwo} }". --<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> 07:09, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
