Why was Mew in RG? Was it always going to be an event? Or was

Just an event.
/thread

It was added at the last minute and they decided to distribute it in events.

I read somewhere that mew was put in st the last minute without the creator and most of the other devs knowing.

Morimoto threw it in at literally the last minute because he thought the idea of a Pokemon so hidden not even the dev team knew about it was funny.

The rest of the team/Nintendo later discovered it and so they eventually gave it out via event.

The only reason I don't buy this is the existence of Mewtwo. So they make this lore (diary entries) about a super legendary pokemon, program in a failed clone, but I'm supposed to believe "Mew was so secret no one even thought it was real! Except my cool uncle who snuck it in and told me how to get one."

>>31870117
Which explains its balanced stats, horrific sprite, and how it can learn every TMs and HMs in the games; it's that hastly made.

Actually, Mew learn every move.
Not Every HM/TM.

Every single move in existence.

Mewtwo is not a clone.

>>31870142
That's literally what they did in BW with the Original Dragon.

>>31870435

They learn that move too.
Mew learn every move.

>>31870466
Doesn't learn crabhammer

>>31870142

Look up what Morimoto says if you show him a VC Mew.

>>31870479
It's also been mentioned in shit tons of official interviews, including ones WITH Morimoto.

After removing the debugging tools, Mew was added into the game as a last minute thing before it was shipped. Otherwise, they might have added that data into Blue or Yellow and then distributed it via events.

>>31870451
Clones still need a member of their species to give birth to them.

Clones are made from a single egg cell, just like normal conception.

Artificial wombs aren't a thing yet.

>>31870475
Not him but mew learning every move implies it can learn Crabhammer too. It could even learn tail glow.

>>31870451
That's how clones are made

Actually, They do learn it.

The Pokédex never lies about anything.

>moron doesn't know how actual cloning works

>can't into figurative language

Pick one

>>31870518
Fuck off Richard

>>31870516

Mewtwo just a edited Mew.

>>31870503

But That Mew probably had sex with a another Mew while It was in South America.

Mewtwo is just a edited Mew.

>>31870537

I did for a while, now I'm back.

>>31870435
How mew hammer with no crab?

>>31870575
Nah, your writing style is different

>>31870592

The Pokédex doesn't say.

>>31869834
It was going to be a secret,even for the others game developers

>>31870595

It's not.

>>31869834

Mew was a secret Pokémon.

Mew the ancestor of all Pokémon species.

>>31870562
The only real difference between cloning and creating a genetically engineered organism is that to create the latter, you modify the DNA before you put it into the egg cell.

Explain this

>>31870757
they don't really contradict each other
Araquadnid gets so worried about weak little pokemon that it puts them in their bubble for protection, but they drown because spiders are stupid

>>31870757
>Araquadnid was on the Moon writing staff

>>31870757

That's not a contradiction.

This.

>>31870757
Araquanid's bubble is like Rapidash's mane. It won't hurt you if it likes you.

>>31869834
Morimoto snuck it in near the end when there was a little bit of space left in the game for lels.

ftfy

Actively looking for someone willing to trade a Mew, please god damn it!?

>>31870757
small pokemon are not necessarily weak pokemon and weak pokemon are not necessarily small pokemon. those two statements in no intrinsic way contradict.

>>31872511
Could've sworn they did a big internet event last year, did you miss out? I think you'll get a second chance relatively soon
