Pokémon
Summary
MythicalPokémonare improbably rare and special species , in both the games and the anime alike . Few are more iconic than Mew , the original Mythical Pokémon , and the Pokémon anime ’s director support how they deal to capture the elusive creature ’s traits when it came prison term for Mew to make its gum anime debut inMewtwo Strikes Back .
In - universe , Mew is an improbably rarified Pokémon that wields tremendous psychic power , and is said to be the genetic root of all Pokémon , enabling it to use a broad variety of attack . Mew ’s DNA also served asthe groundwork for creating Mewtwo , who was the star of the aforementioned firstPokémonmovie . Mew almost had to appear in such a moving-picture show due to their close connectedness , but little had been decided about Mew at this very other juncture in the franchise .
So , when it amount time to figure out Mew ’s personality and behaviour , the Zanzibar copal team decide to make it as unlike Mewtwo as possible .
Mew Is a Pokémon Force of Nature
Mew’s Power Makes It Detached from Humanity
Inan interview with director Kunihiko Yuyama from 2023 , as translated by Serebii.net forum moderator Dephender , Yuyama was inquire about how they develop Mew and Mewtwo ’s characters for the original movie . Yuyama immediately describe Mew as " a trancendent kind of wight that subsist beyond the very human values of right and haywire . “He die on to elaborate , state that , like the ocean or the mountains , this beautiful thing can also be terrifying and become serious at a mo ’s notice . Mew is intended to be a impulsive representation of nature , in contrast to Mewtwo ’s human origins .
This is very consistent with Mew ’s delineation in the motion-picture show ; while it is often rum about humans and what they ’re up to , Mew is just as easy entertained by itself , and it seems to think nothing of collide with Mewtwo . Even when Ash is turned to endocarp by their fighting , Mew is ab initio quite ambivalent , until it insure the other Pokémon beginning to mourn . Had that not happen , Mew in all probability would ’ve been utterly all right leave Ash to his rocky fate to keep fighting .
This also likely explains why Mew does n’t speak , while Mewtwo does ( telepathically , at least ) . Mew does n’t consider human as especially particular , and sees no real need to communicate with them , so it merely does n’t . Mew was in all likelihood adequate to of communicating with Ash and Quaker , but it just chose not to . Since Mew has no construct of human morality , it can makeMew come across as crueland uncaring , marking a pregnant demarcation with its cutesy appearance .
In that sentience , Mew ’s Mythical status does make it almost something consanguine to a god , a potent being that exists well beyond the bound of what human morality and philosophy order . While some later Mythical Pokémon take being a god very literally , this proves that even as early as Mew , Mythical Pokémon were already being involve in that manner by the creatives behind the anime . Mew is more than human , and perhaps even more than just aPokémon .
