The '''Pokémon Mansion journals''' (known in the Japanese fandom as '''{{tt|ポケモン屋敷の日記|Pokémon Yashiki no nikki}}''', which literally translates into ''Pokémon Mansion diaries'' or ''Pokémon Mansion journals'') are a series of diary entries present in the [[Version|main series]] {{pkmn|games}} and written by a Pokémon researcher, chronicling the events that led up to the creation and escape of {{p|Mewtwo}}. This researcher is speculated to be Dr. Fuji from the games, the founder of [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]], and of whom there's suspicion about actually being [[Mr. Fuji]] in his youth. They are scattered around the island's {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, the only remnants of the research that went into Mewtwo's creation. | The '''Pokémon Mansion journals''' (known in the Japanese fandom as '''{{tt|ポケモン屋敷の日記|Pokémon Yashiki no nikki}}''', which literally translates into ''Pokémon Mansion diaries'' or ''Pokémon Mansion journals'') are a series of diary entries present in the [[Version|main series]] {{pkmn|games}} and written by a Pokémon researcher, chronicling the events that led up to the creation and escape of {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The following texts are the journal entries as they are in the games. Interestingly, the texts were altered for the localizations, with instances of the {{wp|Grammatical person|first-person singular}} {{wp|personal pronoun}} ''I'' (Japanese: わたし ''watashi'') in the original Japanese texts changed to the {{wp|Grammatical person|first-person plural}} personal pronoun ''We''. In the February 6<sup>th</sup> journal entry, the localizations added the pronoun ''We'' to the text, whereas the original Japanese text is impersonal. The September 1<sup>st</sup> journal entry originally describes a more emerging danger and a nervous attitude towards it, whereas the localizations imply that, despite the danger being known, the people involved succumbed to helplessness of doing something about the situation. | The following texts are the journal entries as they are in the games.
