==Relation to Faraway Island==
===Relation to Faraway Island===
It is speculated that the [[Guyana|Guyanese]] jungle where {{p|Mew}} was apparently discovered is actually [[Faraway Island]]. A message is left on a signpost there which contains a remnant of a signature belonging to a name ending in ジ ''ji'' but this element is present exclusively in the Japanese release of {{game|Emerald}}, which is generally assumed to be from Fuji. The researcher who wrote these diary entries is speculated to be Dr. Fuji, the founder of [[Pokémon Lab]], or [[Mr. Fuji]], who may both be the same character.

{{OBP|Red|Origins}} found the Pokémon Mansion journal while visiting the Pokémon Mansion in ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]''. Instead of multiple different diaries scattered throughout the building, the journal in [[Pokémon Origins]] was a single notebook.
{{OBP|Red|Origins}} found the Pokémon Mansion journal while visiting the Pokémon Mansion in ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]''. Instead of multiple different diaries scattered throughout the building, the journal in [[Pokémon Origins]] was a single notebook.


The journal was referenced again in ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', where Red recalled finding out about the creation of Mewtwo from it. After telling [[Professor Oak]] about the journal, Red learned that the journal was probably the notes of "Doctor Fuji", a former Pokémon expert whose research was dismissed soon after he had found {{p|Mew|a new species of Pokémon}} and tried to artificially create a new, powerful Pokémon. Professor Oak also realized that "Dr. Fuji" was likely the same person as Mr. Fuji.
