Because it has been confirmed that more than one Mewtwo (a Pokémon that was long thought to have been unique) exists in the anime, I now think it's speculative to say that any Pokémon is actually unique. After all, unless it is explicitly stated and proven that only one kind of a particular Pokémon exists, how do we know for sure whether or not Arceus, Reshiram, Zekrom, and other legendaries are truly the only ones of their kind? And when we assume these Pokémon are unique, the show's writers may introduce another individual of the Pokémon we thought was special in this regard. This is particularly true in Mewtwo's case, where we all thought it was a unique Pokémon for a long time prior to the sixteenth film. Wrap it all up, I feel this is speculation and we shouldn't assume what Pokémon are unique and which ones aren't. Anyone else agree? [[User:Uncle Edit|He's here!

:Absolutely. If people really think it's necessary, we ''could'' say that for certain species (Arceus, etc), only one individual has ever been seen, but I think it's better to leave it out entirely and just note in individual entries for things like Mewtwo or Lugia that multiple individuals exist.

== Contradiction pages ==
The Pokémon Mansion page states: 'Amongst the rubble and wreckage is information that the scientists who once worked there obtained a Mew and impregnated it with the genetically altered Mewtwo, who destroyed the Mansion in its escape.' The Legendary Pokémon page states: 'In the games, Mewtwo is revealed to have been cloned from Mew in the Pokémon Mansion journals. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in Cerulean Cave, where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.' This contradicts, go fix it my fellow Bulbapedia editers! [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 18:44, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
