* While widely regarded as the most powerful Pokémon, Mewtwo's moveset upon capture in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is incredibly weak, with only one damaging move, itself a [[physical move]], and three status moves that only affect stats, completely counter to Mewtwo's moveset upon capture in all previous games in which it was available, which featured {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Swift}}, and another status move. It is unknown why Mewtwo's level-up learnset was not altered between DPPt and HGSS considering that this happened to both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}, its equals in terms of stats, and also happened between RSE and FRLG for its own learnset. | * While widely regarded as the most powerful Pokémon, Mewtwo's moveset upon capture in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is incredibly weak, with only one damaging move, itself a [[physical move]], and three status moves that only affect stats, completely counter to Mewtwo's moveset upon capture in all previous games in which it was available, which featured {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Swift}}, and another status move.

* An image of Mewtwo is seen on the door to [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', which would mark it first minor appearance in the anime, as well as implying that Bill knows about the creature. | * An image of Mewtwo is seen on the door to [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', which would mark it first minor appearance in the anime, as well as implying that Bill knows about the creature. | ||
* Mewtwo, though officially genderless like most legendary Pokémon, speaks with an unmistakably masculine voice when it communictes through telepathy. This is interesting, due to the fact that it originated basically as an enhaced clone of {{p|Mew}}, who, though it does not speak at any point through telepathy, seems to have a much more feminine sound to its cry. | * Mewtwo, though officially genderless like most legendary Pokémon, speaks with an unmistakably masculine voice when it communictes through telepathy.

*It is also interesting to note that, though intended to be a stronger variation of Mew in all respects, Mewtwo can learn fewer moves via tutors and TMs then {{p|Mew}}, shares few learned moves with it, has lower potential Pokéathlon stats in two respects with it, and has a lower base Defense and Special Defense than it. | *It is also interesting to note that, though intended to be a stronger variation of Mew in all respects, Mewtwo can learn fewer moves via tutors and TMs then {{p|Mew}}, shares few learned moves with it, has lower potential Pokéathlon stats in two respects with it, and has a lower base Defense and Special Defense than it. | ||
