Question? Comment? Caterpie stuck up your ear? Drop me a line.
Steve: It's mailbag time again. This week's topic: Mewtwo.
Mewtwo: Have I ever mentioned I hate you?
Steve: More times than I've bothered to count.
From: smash48@netins.net

Note: This is for the mail bag, but put it where you want it, other than in the trash, where it belongs.

Once upon a time, there was a Pokemon named Mewtwo. He was a clone of some unknown Pokemon named Mew. (My, what imaginative scientists! I personally would have named him 'Mew the second, Lord and king of all he surveys and for that matter, all he doesn't as well.' Mtslakoahsaftmahdaw for short. Maw for really short. But, I digress) Anyway, some stupid looking scientists decided to bring him to life and use him for experiments. Mewtwo decided that he would cooperate with them, that is, until they decided to lock him in a room with evil technicolored monsters from Public Television. So he blew up the lab. This is what was knows as the 'Big Bang.' After that, the universe was created and 20 billion years later...

Huh?

Wait a sec.

*Shuffles his cue cards and finds the right one*

Anyway, then he met a suspicious guy from a helicopter who offered to train him. After years in the army, Mewtwo single-handedly won World War 3. Then the suspicious guy revealed that he was an encyclopedia salesman and tried to make Mewtwo pay him $500 for the testing of his new training course he got from his encyclopedias. Mewtwo, not wanting to waste his hard-earned cash, psychically threw the guy and his helicopter into a huge bowl of living green Jell-o, where they were eaten in five seconds.

Not trusting humans anymore, he decided to kill them all off. So he hired a bunch of lawyers (The essence of evil) and sent them around the globe to issue invitations to all the Pokemon slave drivers around the globe to come to a big frat party where he advertised a river of beer and other things collage kids liked, at least in stereotypes.

It was a dismal failure. Only 20 people showed up, and they got really drunk and decided to try to dump our hero Mewtwo into a big vat of castor oil. That is, until our hero Mewtwo warped their DNA, changing three of them into Pokemon clones, one into his personal slave, and the others into lice.

Then he tried again by hiring a bunch of Pokemon to send hypnotic invitations, forcing people to come to his island and hand over all their worldly possessions. But he misprogrammed the cards to make them think he was the greatest Pokemon Slave Driver ever. After bashing his head against a wall 50 times when he realized his blunder, he altered his plans for world domination.

Then, for some reason, he created a big storm to stop the other slave drivers from coming. But eventually, three made it through. So he sent his slave to bring them up to his office and gave them all Income Tax forms to fill out.

After the other Slave Drivers became even more insane than they already were, Mewtwo revealed himself to them. They responded with laughter and mockery about his tail and that cord thingy running up the back of his neck. After 5 minutes, he got sick of it and dumped them into a torture chamber where they were forced to watch cheesy kid shows about a certain nameless evil purple thingy. (Shudder)

After which, Mewtwo gave a big speech about freedom to the remaining Pokemon, who decided to rebel against their trainers. That is, until the electric shock collars hidden on each one's neck activated. Then Mewtwo, for another strange reason, used his genetically warped collage students to beat the others and then cloned them all.

Somehow, one of the trainers got free and freed all the other Pokemon, who were forced to be glad to see him, thanks to artificial emotional enzymes the Poke Balls injected into them. The nameless trainer then decided to try to beat up Mewtwo. Big mistake.

Later...

The nameless trainer was flying through the air and about to get squished to blood pudding against a nearby wall, when he was suddenly shielded by a weird pink bubble nearby. The source of that bubble was Mew, who had returned from the dead. He challenged his clone for the right to kill the nameless trainer. Therefore, he and our hero Mewtwo dueled in the ancient Pokemon way, by encasing their bodies in rubber balls and bouncing against each other. Meanwhile, the other Pokemon and their clones forgot which one was the real one and so they duked it out for the right to be called the original.

Then the nameless trainer then fell from the roof and landed between Mew and our hero. They both then decided to kill him before the other one did, and poof! He was suddenly turned to stone. All the other Pokemon and clones noticed about 5 days later. They all began to cry for joy. But, thanks to the fragile fabric of space-time, he was suddenly warped to the Starship Enterprise. Picard, not knowing the trainer's true nature, healed him somehow and sent him back.

Needless to say, our hero was not pleased. But then he decided to put the nameless trainer off his guard by pretending he had changed his ways and went off with his clones to plot their brilliant revenge. The nameless trainer was not fooled, so he decided to change his ways. Too bad he had forgotten about it by the next movie.

Ah well, no one's perfect.

Steve: Ha! I love it!
Mewtwo: Pfft.
Steve: Big surprise.
Mewtwo: We could do a mailbag about you...
Steve: Forget it.

Believe it or not, there are Mario references in the Pokemon cartoon. First is Ash, the town imbecile, who wears red; so does Mario. Gary wears purple; so does Wario (and as a big coincidence, Mario and wario are RIVALS). Blastoise has a resemblance to Bowser, and Weedle has a resemblance to Wiggler. In "Mankey Goes Bananas", Mankey steals Ash's hat; in Super Mario 64 (as a similar thing) a monkey steals Mario's cap. Brock is a very good cook; so is Mario (specially on pasta). Remember those triplets in the episode when Brock leaves the cartoon temporarily (with Professor Ivy)? If you add them a shell, a cloud and shave them bald, you'll get Lakitus!

I know you can find that and more references in this weird cartoon.

Steve: Uh...right.
Mewtwo: Isn't it "Primeape Goes Bananas?"
Steve: I think so.

Steve: Let me say it right here: I do not do custom fake card jobs.
Mewtwo: Why?
Steve: It defeats the purpose of doing a web site.
Mewtwo: I see.
Steve: Feel free to send comments, though.
Mewtwo: Okay.
Steve: Would you just stop?
Mewtwo: What?
From: kte@catsrule.garfield.com

Hey, Steven. I'm a guy who avidly views Pokéwatch. I stumbled onto your Pokémon Puzzle League FAQ, and I was curious about something. How exactly do you view Mewtwo's profile? Do you just hold R in the profile menu, or is there some other way? Thanks for your time.

Steve: Go to Bruno's profile and hit r (it may be ?'d out).
Mewtwo: And the point of this is?
Steve: To access a glitch.
Mewtwo: Goodie
Steve: Anyway...
From: SirAdamCooper

Everything Mewtwo... Hmmm? Frankly, Mewtwo needs a better name. I still say "Mew Jr." but "Ralph" works as well. Mewtwo's got some nice attacks but here's the question. If mewtwo is the enhanced Mew, why can't Mewtwo learn all TMs and HMs?

Sir Adam Cooper

PS I am NOT the one who wrote the sailor moon letter.

Steve: Sorry, it's been fixed. Hey, Mewtwo, why can't you use the TMs and HMs?
Mewtwo: I don't know, some liability thing.
Steve: Liability?
Mewtwo: Yeah.
Steve: Forget I asked.
Mewtwo: So you want me to use amnesia!
Steve: Oh....anyway, the next mailbag topic is what do you think of the site's extra features (PIRN, fake news, etc.).
