What makes Mewtwo a Pokemon? It's an artificial life form.
I guess this could apply to any artificial Pokemon (like Porygon) but for the sake of argument let's juts isolate the matter to Mewtwo.
What makes Mewtwo a Pokemon? It's an artificial life form.
It can be caught with a Pokeball
Well so can a rice ball, according to the anime.
Can a human fit inside of a pokeball? Has anyone tried it, or is it a taboo in this society?
Green tries it in LegPiss.
Mother 3 theory where all Pokemon are artificial and created by Porky out of the animal chimera project
Pokemon isn't a technical or biological classification, but a social one. The same as when we say "monster", it can range from a dragon to a zombie. Neither have anything in common, but both are monsters.
It actually is a biological classification. Very explicitly so, in fact. "Pokemon" is a clade.
>Pokemon isn't a technical or biological classification
It's clearly a biological one considering that they're capable of cross-species reproduction, and have the same powers.
It doesn't fit into the evolutionary tree, can shrink into a pokeball and, most importantly, was made out of a pokemon.
>cross-species reproduction

Game Mewtwo wasn't a villain, but he was rampaging.
-species reproduction
>kek
Yes, anon. You can breed two completely separate species as long as they share an egg group.
They've gone out of their way multiple times to explain its not sexual reproduction.
That one's still within the same species(or things that can be considered one).
>Game Mewtwo wasn't a villain, but he was rampaging.
He was literally sitting in a cave minding his own business.
>We have failed to curb its vicious tendencies…
>The Pokémon Mewtwo is far too powerful.
>It's no use...
>I cannot control it!"
>What makes Mewtwo a Pokemon?
it can shrink and go into a pokeball.
It's made from pokemon DNA. If anything you SHOULD have used a purely artificial pokemon like Porygon for this argument.
Mew is a Pokemon
Mewtwo is a clone of Mew
Therefore, Mewtwo is a Pokemon
Mewtwo is a Pokemon trainer and a Pokemon at the same time
>no game where Mewtwo is the main villain with a team of his own monsters
There should be a Pokemon Legends: Mewtwo Won
Mewtwo has never been evil, animegay.
he should be.

It's Giygas from MOTHER 1
You didn't actually play it.
>What makes Mewtwo a Pokemon? It's an artificial life form.
Cloned from the cells of another Pokemon, Mew. Why wouldn't it be considered a Pokemon? That's like saying a genetically modified clone of a sheep wouldn't be considered an animal. It might not be a sheep but it's still an animal. Pokemon as a scientific classification exists on the kingdom level, like animalia and plantae.
It's a non-human sentient being in a world where such things are classed as "Pokemon".
If my cloned Gen 2 pokemon are still considered Pokemon, why can't Mewtwo be?
It can shrink to fit in a pokeball. This is the most important criteria for classifying something as a pocket monster, as it is what allows them to fit in your pocket.
