Topic: 6th Gen Pokemon of the Week

[Richard and Blaziken]

Well, I lied. We're doing another Mega Evolution this week. In honor of the Smash Bros. announcement, we'll be discussing Mewtwo!

Yeah, yeah, no Halloween theme, but what could really be scarier than a Mewtwo anyway?! Let me know what you think about Mewtwo below, as well as any childhood stories about catching him, traumatic movie experiences, or otherwise!

Nothing will match the story and feeling of finding and catching Mewtwo

Try having your fire red glitch to make it a shiny mewtwo on the first go (if it was possible, then luck) and you accidentally faint it.

I don't know of any glitch, so... I'm sincerely sorry. o_o;

Anyway! We've discussed Mewtwo, so I see it only fitting that this week we discuss Mew!

What do you think about Mew? What do you remember about the rumor mill of the late 90's and early 2000's? Did you ever attend one of the original Mew events, or have a friend that did? Maybe you Gamesharked Mew into your Red and Blue cart back then? Maybe you've even done the Whitecat glitch? I'd sincerely love to hear all of your memories and experiences with this truly special Pokemon, so let me know your thoughts!

Ah, Mew.

I'll be honest, my very first meeting with this was on my Diamond game - pre-owned, so we all know that if a Lv99 Mew is on a pre-owned game, it's probably hacked.

However, I was into the trading side of things during the middle of Gen 5, and I eventually found myself in possession of two Mew. One was from the Emerald Map Event thing, and the other was a PALCITY Mew iirc. But yep, both are now with me in X and Y right now.

It has been a very long time.

Tyranitar actually has an easy time with its Mega if it gets rollin', because they will be hatin', and I find it more threatening than any other Tyranitar variant so far. And no, Weakness Policy is not a safe means of dealing damage.

Waifuvoir can be a male. Fortunately, RNG Abuse, Powersaves, and Pokémon Generators are a thing. Thanks to the sound-moves buff, now it has a chance of wallbreaking hard due to Hyper Voice and Pixilate. But I still wonder why its Attack has been buffed.

Mega Aerodactyl is excellent; its STAB moves are demolishing, it has enough Attack and Speed to act late game with ease and its imprived defences can come quite handy in a pinch.

Mewtwo is Mewtwo.

I du not understand why Mew has been Über for the first four Generations; I found it was justified in Generation I, but I do not grasp why it has been like that until Generation V, when it became a UU. Was it because of the nerf of Explosion? More offensive threats? Faster Taunts?

[Richard and Blaziken]

In response to Mew, I believe the reason is that it was harder to kill until that point. I do find it curious that Latias was OU for quite a long time in gen 4 before finally being banned, but Mew was never really considered for OU back then. Things could have been somewhat different for gen 4 if it had been allowed to play, but I don't think it would have had a major impact in any case, but I agree that it likely should have dropped or at least been tested for OU in gen 4.

Lucky. When the HGSS Mystery Gift happened, my DS Lite was taken away from me and I will never get it back. I missed out on a lot of the Mystery Gift Pokemon in Gen 4 because of this and I actually had the Pikachu Colored Pichu and Draco Meteor Jirachi on my Platinum game too! Now I'll never get Jirachi, Shaymin, Darkrai, or Mew because they aren't given out often and usually if they are, it's Japan only. Yeah. I missed the Darkrai event in Gen 5 so I won't get it ever I suppose....

I remember the RBY Mew glitch where if you fly away from a certain battle before he can reach you you can end up finding it 'wild' but I never once caught it.

Always been a Mewtwo fan any way though =P

[SirBlaziken]

Great stuff as usual Rich. I remember the Mew I had on my PS team when we battled in that UU tourney last gen.

[Richard and Blaziken]

Just a quick note guys, PotW will be up tomorrow, not today. I've had a crazy work schedule and I'm sincerely just too exhausted to finish the article tonight. I have something special planned for the coming issues, though!

[SirBlaziken]

Good to know, thanks for the heads up.

[Richard and Blaziken]

Thanks for being patient! Now, in honor of our last 2 weeks of X and Y before we receive OR/AS, we'll be discussing the mascot legendaries of X and Y. This week we discuss Xerneas!

How do you feel about Xerneas? Do you like the design? Do you think it needs more vowels in its name? Is Geomancy Xerneas the cause of your night terrors? Let me know!

[OpalRhea]

Um... Something went wrong with the article. The most recent one listed is still Mew

[Richard and Blaziken]

Whoops! I messed up, but it's fixed now! The article is up! Sorry about that, I really have been running on fumes the past few days! ^^;
