History Characters / PokemonMewDuo

** Considering how current mentions of Mew double down on the emphasis of its genetic code, in spite of all other characters in the present, [[TheArk its status - and more importantly, purpose - as an 'ancestor' can be considered more biological than historical, especially in the forward tense]]. It would appear that its status as the New Species Pokémon was called into question at some point and turned over to mean it's the ''progenitor'' of new species, not referring to itself anymore.

** Mewtwo was effectively this in Generation 1. While not as balanced as Mew's stats, Mewtwo boasts one of the highest all-around stat totals in the game, with it's lowest stat being Defense, which was still very good at 90. Its speed was exceptionally high, and its Special Stats were unmatched. It could also learn every viable attacking move in the game and could use both effectively. Subsequent nerfs through the Generations and PowerCreep made it more of a GlassCannon.

* TemporaryOnlineContent: Barely pre-dates the trope's actual origin - the first time Mew was made available was to 25 winners of a CoroCoro magazine contest three months after the release of Red & Green in Japan, and they were actually required to send their physical cartridges in to Game Freak so that the coding of Mew could be re-integrated.
