Rumors of Mewthree's existence within the [[Pokémon games]] have circulated since the [[Generation I|first generation]]. Many fake methods were created, that were often impossible to perform or resulted in the player deleting their save file. These stories have led to a number of [[ROM hacks]] focusing on this unofficial Pokémon. The most notable of these is {{DL|ROM hacks|Pokémon Chaos Black}}, in which Mewthree can [[Evolution|evolve]] into another fake Pokémon, Mewthree X, similar to, by name, Mega Mewtwo X. | Rumors of Mewthree's existence within the [[Pokémon games]] have circulated since the [[Generation I|first generation]].

It is not unusual for fans to create their own fake Pokémon for pure amusement, often creating new [[type]]s (such as Light) and [[move]]s as well. These are usually openly displayed, usually on fanart websites or in [[ROM hacks]], and known about as being fake. Sometimes, however, one may be assumed to be a real Pokémon by another fan, depending upon the skill of the artist and the gullibility of the fan. | It is not unusual for fans to create their own fake Pokémon for pure amusement, often creating new [[type]]s (such as Sound and Light) and [[move]]s as well.
