Presently, there are one too many unsourced categories here. "Pokémon anime characters", "Fictional clones", and "Super Smash Bros. fighters" are fine because the article does reference these bits. The rest seem to be here for the sake of it. Thoughts before I act? Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 00:42, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Mewtwo is also the final boss in Pokemon Stadium (1, dunno about the PS2) - should this be noted somewhere? (i have the game, i cant cite any references right now but can upload pic's of the N64/fully cleared stadium&castle and a mewtwo who wants to fight.. later) ( Divinity76 ( talk) 11:54, 22 October 2009 (UTC))
There's something wrong here. Why is Koji Yusa listed for voicing Charizard and not Mewtwo? Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 23:41, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
I saw the katakana spelling of mewtwos name and Im pretty sure it's not spelled right. Instead of a tsu theres a shi. Should I go ahead and fix it or just leave it as it is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.148.150.113 ( talk) 21:14, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Oh whoops your right. My bad I've only just gotten into katakana recently. Sorry for the mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.148.150.113 ( talk) 03:29, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
You know, now I don't quite understand why Category:Fictional characters with accelerated healing was taken off of here. When User:Jc37 removed it in November, he hinted that the character had to have been "human". How come? Godzilla, Ryoko and Hellboy aren't human, yet they're in the category. Thoughts? Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 17:50, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
There's not really anything about his role in SSBM, and only one mention of "we wish he was in SSBB". There's probably reception of his role in it. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 18:43, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
When did this happen? Mewtwo is defineatly not one of the best Pokémon articles. It is also missing alot of information, such as its big roles in the movies it stared in. Mewtwo still needs alot of work before it goes anywhere. -- Blake ( talk) 02:58, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
When Evaluating Mewtwo's deeds, you should not forget what happened in Mewtwo’s Origin and what he did in Mewtwo Returns. Right now most of the description of Mewtwo's character is based on Pokémon: The First Movie where he was highly coined by either what Giovanni taught him and his indeed immature desire to test out his powers. I think the article puts him in a worse light than justified. His role as some sort of nightly guardian of this unknown city that is hinted at at the end of Mewtwo Returns and the opening sequence of Jirachi Wishmaker should be considered as well. -- 78.52.139.128 ( talk) 01:59, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
Do we have any reliable sources to cover that event in any degree related to this article?-- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 22:37, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Passed quick-fail. Will start thorough review Ajpralston1 ( talk) 09:33, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Ajpralston1 ( talk) 16:19, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
1. It is Well-written
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable
3. It is very Broad in its coverage
4. Written in a Neutral POV
5. It is Stable with no ongoing edit wars
6. It is Illustrated by images if possible
I will put the review on hold until the few problems are addressed, once they are then it should pass. As you previously told me that you can't get to the internet regularly, I will leave it on hold for 10 days. If you need help with anything or don't agree with something I have wrote, please leave a message on my talk page. Ajpralston1 ( talk) 13:17, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
I will pass the article. Just one small tip: - Try and add another image if possible. It will make the article look better. Overall though it is a well written article with no grammar or spelling errors. It read well and the layout is good. The sourced information from the lead which is further along in the article is fine. Nice one! Ajpralston1 ( talk) 14:01, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
I suggest ignoring the dubious advice from the GA reviewer, the current picture is illustration enough and a second fair-use image is hard to argue. Hekerui ( talk) 14:44, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Wow. For someone who doesn't know a thing about Pokemon it was actually very informative. I was a bit leery of possible weasel words/phrases when I started reading, but thankfully a total Pokenoob like myself understood what I set out to understand. The article is well sourced, they're all reliable, and it's well written. If I had to pick two problems I'd say
Once the alt text is added I'll pledge a support vote. -- Teancum ( talk) 13:05, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Support per Kung Fu Man's updates. -- Teancum ( talk) 12:30, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
I think something's missing here.. well, it may be that it was cut in the american show, however, in German TV, Mewtwo's Escape from Giovanni's lab was shown in the series (don't know if it was the first or the second time, Ash and Co. arrives in Vertania City). So even if it was not known at that point (long before the premier of the first movie), it IS the first appereance Mewtwo made. -- 78.94.227.91 ( talk) 19:34, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
I added the image at right to the article to support the cited text in the article about the plane: "Mewtwo also appears on the port side of All Nippon Airways's Pocket Monsters Boeing 747 jumbo jet, alongside Mew. [1] [2]"

It was reverted as there was 'no need'. Per WP:BRD, I'm beginning a discussion. I feel that as this is not a fair use image, the non-free criterion of 'significant understanding' (which I interpret 'no need' as referring to) does not apply. I feel this free image supports the text in the article and should be included. -- Malkinann ( talk) 00:58, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Alright, so I was doing a Google search, and I realized that Giygas, as he appered in Mother, looks very much like Mewtwo. should I put this into the relevant articles? Bonelayer12864 ( talk) 01:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Just saw somewhere they'll be doing something with Mewtwo in the next gen of the series. Not sure how reliable it is but here's a link to a photo that I saw. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt723star ( talk • contribs) 23:16, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
According to the official Pokémon website this doppelgänger of mewtwo isn't a new look, but an entirely new Pokémon and it is now 100% cannon. See: http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/xy/pokemon03/ Mrmoustache14 ( talk) 00:11, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't Mewtwo also appear in Pokémon Origins, based on his character portrayal from the games? 152.27.20.9 ( talk) 17:43, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
In Pokémon X and Y, Mewtwo holding a Mewtwonite X or a Mewtwonite Y can have higher base stats total than Arceus. http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/150.shtml#mega Would it not be important to mention it?
What reasoning is there that nonphysical messages embedded in a forum post cannot be considered a source even when the material has clearly irrefutable information? How else can I provide this evidence, then? 68.198.70.54 ( talk) 19:40, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I read the following phrase: It was also said to be under a truck in one of the cities, though it had ended up as a trick.[25]
Apparently, someone just get a misconception of the reference. The link there (which actually doesn't give any explicit text about the phrase) just redirects to The Pokémon Company marketing site about a brief description of Mewtwo. Moreover, that reference points our to the suppoused glitch about Mew, a hoax that widespread during the localization of Red/Blue in America and Europe. So, I propose to remove that part and add it in Mew article instead. Thanks. -- «[Gtr.]» Errol 06:09, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
I made an edit regarding the fact that in the main series games, Mewtwo was created by a lone scientist and not a team of researchers, as evidenced by Pokédex entries from Red/Blue, LeafGreen, X, and Shield as well as the fact the Pokémon Mansion Journals use singular pronouns in Japanese with the plurals being added in localization. Someone has undone this edit. I feel that my edit should be restored as it shows in important difference in the canon of the games compared to the anime and similar adaptations which present Mewtwo as created by a team of researchers. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? MewtwoRBGY ( talk) 22:43, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
I was thinking that it would be a good idea to put pictures of Mega Mewtwo X and Y in the Appearances section since they do appear somewhat frequently in various games and it would just be nice to show them in the article itself. I am wondering if anyone has any objections to this or if you also think it would be a good idea. MewtwoRBGY ( talk) 17:45, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
