Mewtwo Headed to the US for Owners of "Pokémon Black/White"

Now if you're really cheap, you can roll with five legendaries AND a Mewtwo

While Pokémon Black and White boasted all-new Pokémon (even though I swear that Pidoves are just Starlies with a new coat of paint), it was kind of sad not to see any of the classics, even from the original 151.

 

Gamers in Japan recently got O.G. Pokémon psychic beatdown expert Mewtwo as part of a special giveaway, and now Pokémon fans in North America can get their hands on the original Pokémon movie "villain" starting February 12th--this guy is supposed to have a move that Mewtwo normally can't learn, so it's probably the same special-edition Mewtwo from the Japanese giveaway, which was armed with Psystrike, Shadow Ball, Aura Sphere, and Electro Ball. He's also carrying a King's Rock, which gives a higher chance of making your opponent flinch.

 

You can find out more (as well as how to get your Mewtwo) on the giveaway page! Do we have any Pokémon trainers adding this guy to their Pokédex?

Mewtwo wasn't the villain of the pokémon movie, the people that created him were...

I remember I was happy when we got Mew back in the original mall tour for red/blue/yellow in conjunction with the first movie. Shame I don't play video games much any more, let alone even know where to start on the current games of Pokemon.

I prefer antagonist over villain, since he just misjudged the actions of a few as to being the feeling of all.

they should put the mewtwo with the metal armor.... that would be dirtyyy
Reply
1/25/12 by AnoCRMem
They would need to create a new game for that since there's no data for it in the games.

More importantly, why would you want that? In the movie Mewtwo realized the armor wasn't boosting his power, but restraining it. That opinion on Mewtwo's parts seems to have born out when further on in the movie his telekinetic power became deific, with him manipulating weather remotely that he's viewing through monitors.

You couldn't trade it over from SS or HG?
Reply
1/25/12 by AnoCRMem
If you had gotten one from Fire Red or Leaf Green, then transferred it to to SS or HG, then yes, you could have a Mewtwo in Black or White without the promotion. I don't recall whether you could transfer directly from SS/HG to Black or White, but you could definitely transfer from FR/LG/SS/HG to Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and then to B/W.

The Mewtwo in this promotion is different, though, so it'll be worth the download.

I don't have this game, but my friend does so i'll tell her. We both own LeafGreen so we already have a Mewtwo each, but the more Mewtwo's the merrier, right?

Although I was not in the Pokemon demographic when it began playing in North America, there were several pokemon that were more memorable than the rest, one of which being this guy.

I think his nubby-ness is kind of teenagemutantninjaturtle-esque.

I wish that they would create a pokemon where you start from the beginning in pallet town and work your way to black and white that would be totally awesome.
