I refuse to believe Ditto is not a failed Mew clone.You literally find it in the Pokemon Mansion and Cerulean cave, the two locations most associated with Mew/Mewtwo.
>THE headcanon that has been literally and specifically refuted by Masuda.Give up.
>>58617929I will not
>>58617929The same devs forgot Celebi even had an event at the shrine in Crystal and claimed it was an old fan theory/headcanon they were making an homage to in HGSS. Masuda doesn’t know shit about games he didn’t personally have creative direction over, and neither does anyone else at GF, seeing as how Ohmori retconned half of Masuda’s lore for both Kalos and Hoenn.
>>58617914It's NOT THE SAME COLOR ANON.
>>58617929>Man who ruined Pokemon loreNot arguing about the Ditto shit but come on man>>58618007Masuda directed Crystal that's not an excuse
>>58618012It IS
>>58618012dont look at the shinies or your mind will be blown......
>>58618052It's the wrong shade of PURPLE!>>58618057Gen 2 shinies are a terrible, terrible idea to pull canon from, because they are unironically just "first palette in the list that looks good." However, even ignoring that, DITTO IS A TEAL AND MEW IS A TURQOUISE!
>>58618072YOULL TAKE MY LIFE BEFORE YOU TAKE MEW DITTO FROM MEEE
>>58618076Fine then! HAVE AT THEE!Why is it pink..?
>>58617929Just because a guy who rarely interacts with the community on that kind of level says he "had never heard of it" doesn't mean it's non canon. If anything that's him not taking a stance, choosing to things vague for those who wanna believe it.
>>58618072Wow it's slightly different. Mewtwo was different color but I guess I'll ignore that because it puts holes in my hopes.
>>58617929Know that every /vp/ autist has thought about things more than Gamefreak at this point.
>>58618115Grimer's the same color as Ditto, Gen 2's bizarre bright pink palette ignored, and Mewtwo's shiny is the same color scheme as shiny Grimer's. Is Grimer related to Mew too?
Ditto is an alien, not a clone. It's evolution was a steel type, which is why it still holds a metal coat. It fell to earth on a meteor. Ditto is a reference to The Blob, being this pink blob creature, and it's ability to copy likenesses is a reference to Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Thing. Its steel type evolution Animon drew on the concept of rare minerals found in meteorites to play up Steel being "newly discovered".
>>58618138No. Plus the tail is a different green so
>>58617929On the contrary, being the literal only headcanon that's ever been addressed and debunked just makes it even more real, because it's an admission from GameFreak of "FUCK they figured it out, pull back on the idea, PULL BACK!!!" because they wanted it to be some kind of big reveal in a movie or some retarded shit like that, but if the fandom already adopted the idea en masse, then it would have no impact.
>>58618299That's cool and all, but the Mewtwo's movie was in 1999, and Masuda's rejection of the theory was in 2016. If they were going to make it a reveal, they would've done it by then.
>>586183252016 was also the 20th anniversary, and LGPE was in 2018, perfect time to do it then if they didn't do it back in the Pokemania glory days.
>>58618329I think the best you're gonna get is >>58618162 to be honest. Ditto had a whole subplot in the game that was literally about aliens.
>>58618012Neither are you and my semen yet here we are, son.
>>58617914>can only found in places only associated with mew>in the anime only game>in the og games it was not even in the pokemon mansionTo this day I still believe that theory, but that images kinda debunks it. Also my theory is that originally mewtwo was thought as the Evolution of mew. Think about it this way:Pokemon codenames have a specific pattern associated with it. Let‘s say toad was the codename for bulbasaue, ivysaur was then toad2 and venusaur beeing toad3. Now think about mewtwo, it‘s mew and then mew2. It‘s pokedex entry in the og lists is as >the outcome of year long cruel experimentsSo I feel like they found mew experimented around with it to make it stronger and suddenly it transformed into a new thing, which they took as evolution. So it is basically: the forced evolution of mew.I think they changed it to giving birth as it was too cruel. It also explains why they never intended to have mew, because mewtwo is already mew. It also explains why mewtwo was too strong for them.Regardless I still love the clone theory, think of ditto beeing the failured clones and take the movie as canon at this point.
