The video discusses a popular Pokémon theory that has been circulating since the 1990s, which suggests that Ditto, a transform Pokémon, is connected to Mew and Mewtwo. The theory proposes that Ditto is a failed clone of Mew, created during the genetic experiments that resulted in Mewtwo. The video examines the evidence from the Pokémon games, anime, and the movie "Detective Pikachu" to confirm this theory.
The video highlights the similarities between Mew and Ditto, such as their identical base stats, weight, and ability to learn the transform move. It also points out that Ditto's ability to transform is limited to copying Pokémon that are physically present, whereas in "Detective Pikachu," a Ditto is shown to have the ability to transform at will, suggesting that it is a genetically modified Super-Ditto.
The video concludes that the connection between Mew, Mewtwo, and Ditto is confirmed through the movie "Detective Pikachu," which shows that a Ditto is created through genetic experiments on Mewtwo. The video suggests that Ditto is made up of the same genetic material as Mew and Mewtwo and that it is a failed prototype of the Mew cloning experiments.
Overall, the video presents a compelling case for the connection between Mew, Mewtwo, and Ditto, using evidence from various Pokémon media to support the theory.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. Pokémon Yellow was released in 1998 and featured Pikachu as the starter Pokémon.
2. In Pokémon Yellow, Ditto can be found roaming the halls of the Pokémon mansion.
3. Ditto's Pokédex entry states that it can copy an enemy's genetic code to transform into a duplicate of the enemy.
4. The Pokémon mansion is where Mewtwo was created using genetic experimentation.
5. The wreckage around the mansion is the game's way of telling us that Mewtwo was created there and later escaped.
6. Mewtwo is found in the Cerulean Cave, where it can be caught.
7. The Cerulean Cave is also one of the spawn locations for Ditto.
8. Mew and Ditto have the same weight of 8.8 pounds.
9. Mew and Ditto are the only two Pokémon that can learn the transform move purely by levelling up.
10. Ditto's base stats are 52% lower than Mew's, but the distribution of those statistics is identical.
11. The movie "Detective Pikachu" confirms that Mewtwo is a genetically altered clone of the ancient Pokémon Mew.
12. The movie states that Mewtwo disappeared from the Kanto region 20 years ago.
13. The screenwriters of "Detective Pikachu" confirmed that the movie's Mewtwo is the same one from the canon universe.
14. The writers of "Detective Pikachu" were aware of the Ditto/Mew theories when working on the project.
15. In the movie, Ditto is used by the villain Howard Clifford to hijack Mewtwo's mind.
16. Howard's Ditto has the ability to transform at will, which is not a normal Ditto's ability.
17. The anime and video games establish that Ditto can only copy things it sees.
18. Ditto's Pokédex entries state that it rearranges its cell structure to transform itself into other shapes.
19. The first Ditto in the anime are the ones belonging to the copycat Duplica, and they can only transform into Pokémon that are physically present.
20. In "Detective Pikachu", Howard Clifford is doing genetic experiments on Mewtwo, which produces a Ditto with powers that surpass the other members of its species.
