-Guyana was first referenced in one of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] in the [[Generation I]] games; {{p|Mew}} was said to have been found in the Guyana jungle. This reference was carried over to the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Origins]]. However, the [[Pokémon anime]] did not reference Guyana in relation to Mew; its fossil was only said to have been found in an unnamed South American jungle, while Mew itself was discovered on the {{wp|Andes}} 20 years prior to the main events of [[The Birth of Mewtwo]].
