I know I’m really late with this, but I got caught up with a really tricky data recoding assignment… So I know that February is Mew Distribution Month, but I want to take a moment to celebrate another special Pokémon event! As many Pokémon fans know, today, Feb. 6th is the birthday of the Legendary Pokémon MewTwo.
If any of you guys have ever been to the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island, then you may be familiar with a series of cryptic journals spread out throughout the building. The journals tell of the events surrounding the capture of Mew, the experimentation on Mew, and the subsequent birth and escape of MewTwo.
So today I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the guy!
MewTwo is a Psychic type legendary Pokémon introduced in the Generation 1 Pokémon games. It is the result of a series of horrific gene splicing experiments performed on the embryo of a newly discovered Mew. After it was born scientists, named the newborn, MewTwo and kept the Pokémon captive while they continued with their experiments. Unfortunately the scientists underestimated the power of MewTwo, who, in a fit of rage destroys the Pokémon Mansion and escapes to the Cerulean Cave.
While MewTwo isn’t my favorite Pokémon of all time, I do acknowledge that it’s a solid addition to any team. So for now, on this day, we salute you MewTwo! Happy Born Day!
