If having a Mewtwo in your Pokédex makes you a very strong trainer, two could make you invincible. A ‘Pokémon’ movie proved that there is more than one Mewtwo out there. How was this possible?
From the first episode of Pokémon the existence of the “legendaries” was presented; creatures more powerful than average, with special abilities and that are extremely difficult to find and capture. One of the most famous legendary Pokémon in the franchise is Mewtwo. Due to its popularity, psychic-type Pokémon have starred in a number of movies. In 1999, he made his debut in the first pocket monster film titled Pokémon the Movie: Mewtwo vs. Mew, and in 2019 he surprised by returning to the big screen with Pokémon Detective Pikachu, directed by Rob Letterman.
Unlike the rest of the Pokémon, Mewtwo stands out for having been created by humans. Using Mew’s DNA, Dr. Fuji made various genetic modifications with the purpose of improving his ancestor and giving life to the most powerful Pokémon of all. After years of horrible experiments and failed attempts, Mewtwo appeared, however, his size and character are very different from Mew. Unaware of his purpose, Mewtwo does as ordered by his master Giovanni, the leader of the Rocket team, although he later breaks free of him, demonstrating his great power.
One of the most frequent questions about the “wildest Pokémon of all” is whether there is more than one. Being an artificial Pokémon, it is logical to think that there could be another Mewtwo out there roaming the world. Speaking exclusively of what happens in movies (leaving aside the plot of anime, manga and video games), the sixteenth installment of Pokémon, Genesect and the awakening of a legend, confirmed that the Mewtwo from the 1999 movie is different from the one from 2013 The Mewtwo that appears in the 16th film, unlike the previous one, has a female voice, marking a great contrast with its predecessor; In addition, he refers to himself as her.

Why the change? It was revealed by Pokémon movie producer Hidenaga Katakami that Mewtwo had to be traded due to legal issues. Takeshi Shudo was the head writer for the Pokémon anime for years and wrote the first three films in the franchise. Because Sudho’s estate, who died in 2010, so established, the creation of a second Mewtwo different from the first was required, modifying its design.

Later, The Pokémon Company was able to obtain the rights to the first film and the original Mewtwo, making it possible to use it in a 3D remake of Pokémon, the movie: Mewtwo vs. Mew. However, something that Katakami didn’t make entirely clear is whether the change in design and voice gave rise to a completely different Mewtwo than the first, or if it was just a fear strategy to use the character while acquiring the rights.
