The video discusses the Pokémon franchise, specifically the character Mewtwo. The narrator, MatPat, points out that Mewtwo always says "Mew" instead of "Mewtwo" when encountered in the games, suggesting that "Mewtwo" is a nickname given by scientists, and Mew is its actual name as a clone of the original Pokémon, Mew.
The main topic of the video is the introduction of a new character, Green, in the games Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee. Green is a trainer who tries to capture the player with Poké Balls, exhibiting strange behavior. MatPat theorizes that Green is a clone of Mr. Fuji's daughter, Amber, who was created during the Mewtwo project. This theory is supported by various hints and clues throughout the game, including a cloning tank in the Pokémon mansion and a connection between Green and Mewtwo.
MatPat believes that Green's behavior, including her attempt to capture the player, is due to her psychic link with Mewtwo during the cloning process, which blurred the line between humans and Pokémon. The video concludes with a cliffhanger, hinting that more information about Green and her connection to Mewtwo might be revealed in the upcoming movie "Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution."
