Cloning: Difference between revisions

'''Cloning''' is a process that creates a genetic duplicate of a being that is or was alive.  

Cloning has appeared a few times in the anime. Cloning's most prominent appearance is in [[M01|the first movie]], where [[Dr. Fuji]] creates {{p|Mewtwo|both an enhanced clone of Mew}} as requested by [[Giovanni]] in exchange for funding his primary project, a (failed) attempt to duplicate his dead daughter {{an|Amber}}, and three test clones of the Kanto [[starter Pokémon]]. Later in the movie Mewtwo itself makes clones of various Pokémon belonging to the Trainers that have come to [[New Island]]. All of Mewtwo's clones appear to have been created fully grown, unlike Fuji's clones. All cloned Pokémon (excluding Mewtwo) appear identical to a normal Pokémon of their species, except for multiple black horizontal marks on their bodies.

Mewtwo's clones are also featured in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. The clones are revealed to be fertile (even ones of {{p|Nidoqueen|species normally not so}}), and give birth to offspring who are indistinguishable from normal Pokémon, lacking the tell-tale black markings.
