Applying science to the pokedex: Mewtwo's cloning


The legendary Pokémon Mew is the ancestral progenitor of the Pokémon species. Mew's unique genetic makeup has resulted in the emergence of these diverse species, which have adapted to a range of environments and possess a wide range of abilities.

Mewtwo, on the other hand, is a modified clone of Mew, created through genetic engineering techniques. As a result of this modification, Mewtwo exhibits some distinct differences in physiology and behavior compared to Mew. The process of cloning and genetic engineering resulted in significant changes to Mewtwo's cellular structure and DNA.

One of the most notable modifications made to Mewtwo is the introduction of human DNA into its genome. This was not intentional and likely occurred as a result of contamination during the cloning process. Despite this unintended introduction of foreign genetic material, Mewtwo remains a genetically engineered clone of Mew.

Mewtwo's genetic engineering also included the use of biomineralization techniques, in which inorganic materials are incorporated into living organisms. This process was used to modify Mewtwo's physiology and increase its power. In particular, two special mega stones were created to enhance Mewtwo's abilities: one to temporarily alter Mewtwo's physical form and increase its strength, and another to further modify Mewtwo's physiology to a more pokemon/alien form.

In addition to these physical modifications, Mewtwo's cloning and genetic engineering process resulted in a number of psychological changes as well. Due to the trauma of its creation and the forced suppression of its abilities, Mewtwo exhibits a high level of cognitive awareness and has shown an advanced level of problem-solving ability comparable to that of a human.

In conclusion, Mew and Mewtwo are genetically related, but Mewtwo is a modified clone with significant genetic, physiological, and behavioral differences resulting from the process of genetic engineering. The incorporation of foreign genetic material and biomineralization techniques have contributed to these differences, which include alterations to Mewtwo's physical form, strength, and cognitive abilities.

Process of one of my Pikachu drawings. This is a perfect example of when I start losing myself in art land, but suddenly snap back to basics when I realize "Oh right, I have no time!" You'll see what I mean.
