A theory on Mewtwo's Mega forms in the anime

[Nick102]

Okay, so I just read that Mewtwo has a 2nd Mega Evolution now called "Mega Mewtwo X", and this has actually raised up an interesting theory for me on how this could effect the anime. As someone who was a fan of the first Pokémon movie, I was disappointed when I learned that the Mewtwo in the newest movie wasn't the same one from before and has a female voice, because I'll admit that the idea of it being the same Mewtwo again grabbed my interest with that movie. But this basically just means that there are now two different Mewtwo that exist in the anime (I suppose whether or not it's actually feasible to create another Mewtwo is still up for debate). But since the new Mewtwo obviously uses the Y Mega Evolution, do you think it would be possible in one of the later XY movies if they actually brought back the original Mewtwo again and somehow gave him the ability to use the X evolution? Or maybe have both Mewtwo in the same movie? I initially thought that "Mega Mewtwo Y" was going to be Mewtwo's only Mega form, but knowing that there are two Mega Evolutions for Mewtwo just seems to change everything for me since I know that the anime now has two different Mewtwo. It just seems like it would be a perfect idea. Of course if the writers don't think of it themselves and just end up making a 3rd Mewtwo, then I really won't know what to think of the anime anymore.

Since X mewtwo is male theres always the chance that he comissioned the new scientists to clone him a mate

Calling it now: There's going to be yet another Mewtwo Movie or Special

I really don't think the old Mewtwo is going to be making any significant appearances any time soon. Its story is pretty much wrapped up.

Mewtwo's still as genderless as always.

It still make me wonder though what would happen if the old Mewtwo actually met the new Mewtwo. It would be like meeting another clone of himself rather than just making clones of other trainer's Pokémon.

Explain how lugias can mate then.

But they are also genderless

I always found the "genderless" thing to be stupid... especially in a case like Meloetta's where it is CLEARLY a female and I don't even care what anyone says it's a female, and the anime clearly showcased it as a female... it's ridiculous Cresselia and Latias are female yet Meloetta couldn't be so too
The original Mewtwo had an obviously male voice while the new one clearly got a female voice (their personalities also seem to hint at their gender a bit too)
So yeah, just like with Meloetta, I really don't care what the games says gender-wise... original Mewtwo is male and new Mewtwo is female
If they didn't want them to be viewed with a set gender they could go for a more ambigious voice but that wasn't the case at all

Given how the fans received the news of a second Mewtwo, I think it is doubtful we will ever see a third.
It would be stretching things way too much since it is not a natural species. In order for a third Mewtwo to exist yet another team of scientists trying to clone Mew would have to be created, and having the same origin story told a third time would be too repetitive. Other than the fact it cheapens Mewtwo.

I also doubt we will ever see the original Mewtwo coming back given how the writers are reluctant in using Shudo's original creation. It is easier to just bring Mewtwo 2.0 and give him the power to change into Mega X as well, just like they gave Kyurem the power to change into white and black modes at will. I didn't watch the new Mewtwo movie, but it seems they ignored some conditions for Mega Evolutions like the stone and ring requirements and turned it intio just a super mode, so I wouldn't discard the possibility.

By the way, not wanting to delve much into the genderless debate, but I think it should be clear at this point the anime adaptation (and the movies by default) doesn't follow this rule. So, I wouldn't discard the possibility of this new Mewtwo being a female.

If you believe that the two Mewtwo have genders, wouldn't you find it somewhat weird for the female Mewtwo to turn into Mega Mewtwo X?

They've already cheapened Mewtwo. The question is if they even care.

It couldn't be stranger than a female Conkeldurr.

I'm not arguing if it was a bad move. My point is that I don't believe they are going to repeat said move after the backlash.

More Mewtwo movies/appearance is very likely but I hope that the writers does not focus too much on Mewtwo. I would rather like to see other Mega Evos like Mega Blastoise, Mega Blaziken or something.

 

[PiccoloX]

If Mewtwo's using his final form Ash is gonna need his Infernape. Spoiler alert, the world blows up!

In all honesty, that doesn't sound like Mewtwo. I can't see him walking up to a bunch of humans and asking them to make a mate for him.

Still, I think the personality clash between the reclusive, brooding Mewtwo from the first movie and the more extroverted, happier Mewtwo from the sixteenth movie could be inetrestiing, if done right.
